Analisis Perilaku Anggota Koperasi dalam Pembelian Barang pada KUD Karya Agung Kecamatan Singingi Kabupaten Kuantan Singingi
Get PDFThis research was conducted at KUD Karya Agung located in Sumber Datar Village, Kec. Singingi Kab. Kuantan Singingi. The purpose of this study is to determine what factors influence the behavior of cooperative members in making decisions to buy goods at KUD Karya Agung. While the benefits that the author can provide to cooperatives are as input or information for KUD Karya Agung management regarding the behavior of cooperative members in making decisions to buy goods offered by cooperatives.Based on the formulation of the problem and the purpose of the study, the authors propose a hypothesis that is suspected of the behavior of cooperative members in making decisions to buy goods in the KUD Karya Agung influenced by factors of culture, social class, attitude and psychology. From the research conducted by the author, an opportunity can be taken that the factors that influence the behavior of cooperative members in making decisions to buy goods at KUD Karya Agung are social environmental factors, attitudes and psychology
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
Biomechanical and physiological determinants of 2000 m rowing performance on slides ergometer
Get PDFPhysiology is believed to be the most important determinant in rowing
performance that can help rowers win or lose tens of seconds in a race. However, there
is also the role of biomechanics and rowing technique to apply the rower's present
physiological fitness level most effectively. The effects of physiological and
biomechanical factors on rowing performance have been tested in many previous
studies but currently there is no study that combines the physiological and biomechanical
factors in determining rowing performance. The purpose of this study was to investigate
the biomechanical and physiological determinants of 2km rowing performance on slides
ergometer. Ten state-level rowers were recruited to participate in this study. Three tests
were completed to gather the data on aerobic, anaerobic, anthropometry and
biomechanical variables and also 2000 m rowing performance time. Pearson's
correlation test was used to determine correlation of these with 2000 m time. Result
showed that aerobic capacity, anaerobic capacity and biomechanical variables were
correlated with 2000 m time. Peak power (r = -0.937) and knee angle at catch at 1200 m
(r = 0.888) were the major determinants of ergometer rowing performance, followed by
knee angle at finish at 2000 m (r = -0.872), hip angle at catch at 2000 m (r = 0.85), body
fat percentage (r = 0.828), hip angle at finish at 800 m (r = -0.807), body height, post-test
lactate and oxygen uptake (VO2). The findings could be use for training design and
recruitment. More time should be allocate to improve muscle power. Increase in strength
and balance on muscles around hip and knee areas, particularly the hip and knee flexors
may increase performance and also possibly prevent muscle injury
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
Penerapan Model Pembelajaran Berbasis Masalah dengan Pendekatan Problem Solving untuk Meningkatkan Kualitas Pembelajaran Matematika (Studi Materi Fungsi Komposisi dan Fungsi Invers di Kelas XI Al Farisi SMA Negeri 2 Labakkang Boarding School)
Get PDFABSTRAK
IRWAN ABDULLAH.. (Dibimbing oleh Usman Mulbar dan Muhammad Darwis M).
Banyak siswa yang beranggapan bahwa pelajaran matematika merupakan mata pelajaran yang sulit untuk dimengerti. Siswa terbiasa menghafal rumus-rumus matematika tanpa mengetahui konsepnya sehingga mengakibatkan siswa hanya mampu menyelesaikan soal yang sama dengan contoh soal yang telah diberikan. Siswa menyelesaikan permasalahan matematika secara individu, interaksi antar siswa, antar siswa dengan guru cenderung tidak dilakukan, sehingga hanya siswa yang tahu saja yang aktif dalam proses pembelajaran, hal ini mengakibatkan rendahnya kualitas belajar siswa. Rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah (i) Bagaimana proses penerapan model pembelajaran berbasis masalah dengan pendekatan problem solving dalam upaya untuk meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran matematika siswa? (ii) Apakah melalui penerapan model pembelajaran berbasis masalah dengan pendekatan problem solving dalam kegiatan pembelajaran dapat meningkatkan kualitas hasil belajar matematika siswa?
Tujuan penelitian ini adalah (i) Untuk mendeskripsikan proses penerapan model pembelajaran berbasis masalah dengan pendekatan problem solving dalam meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran matematika siswa; (ii) Untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar matematika siswa melalui penerapan model pembelajaran berbasis masalah dengan pendekatan problem solving. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian tindakan kelas dengan teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan lembar observasi, tes hasil belajar, dan angket respons siswa kemudian dianalisis secara kuantitatif dan kualitatif.
Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa: (i) Penerapan model pembelajaran berbasis masalah dengan pendekatan problem solving dapat meningkatkan kualitas proses pembelajaran matematika siswa dengan indikator aktivitas siswa berjalan sesuai dengan design yang telah dibuat dan memenuhi kriteria penggunaan waktu ideal.

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
