THE REWARD OF WORSHIP IN RAMADHAN DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC: A MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS
Get PDFThis research aims at analyzing the rewards obtained from carrying out worship in Ramadhan during the Covid-19 Pandemic Period. The research approach applied was qualitative with the type of library research. The objects of the research were prayer, reading Al Qur’an and Al-Hadith. The Covid-19 pandemic period, according to the regulation issued by the government of Indonesia in the form of social distancing, gave great impacts on the implementation of worship during Ramadhan. The data were analyzed based on the stipulations and guidelines of implementing the worship, especially during Ramadhan, which had been analyzed using mathematical calculations. The research results showed that the reward of implementing worship during the Covid-19 pandemic period was tremendous either in quantitative or qualitative calculations. In addition, it focused on the quality, so that the results of this research can be utilized as a basis for improving the quality of worship. AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis manfaat yang diperoleh dari melaksanakan ibadah di bulan Ramadhan selama Periode Pandemi Covid-19. Pendekatan penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian kepustakaan. Objek penelitiannya adalah shalat, membaca Al-Qur'an dan Al-Hadits. Masa pandemi Covid-19, menurut aturan yang dikeluarkan pemerintah Indonesia berupa social distancing, berdampak besar pada penyelenggaraan ibadah selama Ramadhan. Data dianalisis berdasarkan ketentuan dan pedoman pelaksanaan ibadah khususnya pada bulan Ramadhan yang dianalisis menggunakan perhitungan matematis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pahala melaksanakan ibadah selama periode pandemi Covid-19 sangat besar baik secara kuantitatif maupun kualitatif. Selain itu juga menitikberatkan pada kualitas, sehingga hasil penelitian ini dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai dasar untuk peningkatan kualitas ibadah.
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
