    Information on human capital, especially for school- age population is still limited. Most of Indicators of human capital only consider the dimensions of education, while human capital is formed by various dimensions not only education. Recent human capital measurement is displayed in macro level so that difficult to analys in micro level. Based on recent condition of human capital information, this study aims to measure the human capital of the school-age population of 7-18 years old using the fuzzy set approach by considering several dimensions of human capital investment and analysis the determinant. The data source is from West Sumatera Socio-Economic Survey that held by National Bureau of Statistic in March 2017. Measurement human capital of 9,950 samples of school age population shows that urban areas have higher human capital than the rural areas. Internal factors, household and spouse characteristics such as income, parent education and occupation have impact in their children human capital. External factors such as subsidies and rural-urban development inequality also have impact and tend to be larger than internal factor. The strategy of increasing human capital under conditions of limited resources can be achieved by increasing the index of indicators which have greatest weight and also reducing development inequality between urban and rural areas. The other policy is to realize growth economic that have positive impact to entire society. In terms of methodology, this approach can be adapted to regional conditions, the development of theory and related research. Adjustments can be made at the stage of selecting investment indicators, data types and weight of indicato

    Tingginya biaya pencetakan uang menjadi beban besar bagi ekonomi. Penyebab utamanya adalah masih rendahnya kesadaran masyarakat dalam memperlakukan uang rupiah dengan baik sehingga uang menjadi cepat rusak (tidak layak edar). Jika sudah rusak maka uang harus dicetak kembali. Semakin banyak uang yang rusak dan semakin cepat terjadinya kerusakan maka akan semakin tinggi biaya pencetakan uang. Pasar tradisional merupakan tempat yang berkontribusi besar dalam percepatan rusaknya uang terutama pasar basah seperti pasar ikan. Kegiatan ini bertujuan melakukan sosialisasi dan edukasi kepada pedagang ikan tentang pentingnya merawat dan memperlakukan uang dengan baik melalui “Gerakan Cinta Rupiah”. Gerakan cinta rupiah dilakukan dengan menerapkan 5J yaitu Jangan dilipat, Jangan di coret, Jangan di stapler, Jangan dibasahi dan Jangan di remas. Kegiatan ini berlokasi di Pasar ikan Pasie Nan Tigo Kecamatan Koto Tangah Kota Padang setelah sukses di Pasar Raya Padang sebelumnya. Kegiatan ini disertai dengan aksi nyata cinta rupiah melalui pemberian petty case kepada 30 pedagang ikan. Hasil yang diperoleh pada kegiatan ini yaitu efektif meningkatkan pengetahuan dan pemahaman peserta tentang pentingnya menjaga uang rupiah, bagaimana menjaga dan merawat uang rupiah dengan baik. Dengan demikian kegiatan ini secara langsung memengaruhi perilaku banyak pedagang ikan. Dampak langsung dari kegiatan ini adalah para pedagang ikan mulai menerapkan gerakan cinta rupiah dan menggunakan kotak penyimpan uang agar uang rupiah tidak lagi basah sehingga umur ekonominya lebih lama. Ke depan perlu dilakukan sosialisasi yang lebih luas tidak hanya pedagang ikan tetapi semua pedagang agar dapat mengurangi biaya pencetakan uang dan menghemat anggaran

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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 PDF
    We 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

    We 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
