THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SELF-SUPPORT STILT-HOUSES TOWARDS THE DISASTER POTENTIALITY AT THE CAMBAYA COASTAL AREA, MAKASSAR
No full textSelf-support stilt-houses at the coastal area have environment characteristics that are different from inland houses, and they have the disaster potentiality such as hurricanes, tidal waves, abrasion, earthquakes, and even tsunami. The stilt houses are very adaptable to climatic conditions and coastal disasters. The shape of the stilt houses at the coastal area must comply with aspects of safety, security, comfort, and health. This paper examines the characteristics of the stilt houses at the coastal area of Cambaya, Makassar, especially in terms of safety and security aspects. The aspects of safety and security include the resistance of the building construction towards disasters. Along with the development of the urban area, the demanding needs and limited financial-abilities, the owners of the houses at the Cambaya coastal area develop their houses by utilizing the empty space at the coastal area and the space under floor of the stilt house. The change of the building shape gives an effect on the poor quality of the building, building safety, and security. However, there are several stilt houses at Cambaya which could reduce the impacts of disasters on the safety of the residents through their local wisdom
KONSERVASI KAWASAN TUA TERHADAP PERKEMBANGAN SARANA PELAYANAN PARIWISATA DI KOTA MAKASSAR
No full textPenelitian ini merupakan tahap pertama dari penelitian yang terdiri dari tiga tahap untuk mengembangkan suatu manajemen konservasi pengembangan sarana pariwisata kota di kawasan kota tua di Makassar. Tahap-tahap penelitiannya adalah sebagai berikut: Pertama, mengidentifikasi perkembangan sarana pariwisata kota di kawsan kota tua; Kedua, menganalisis pengaruh perkembangan sarana pariwisata di kawasan kota tua; Ketiga, mengembangkan manajemen konservasi di kawasan kota tua terhadap perkembangan sarana pariwisata kota. Pengembangan kawasan wisata di daerah perkotaan akan berhasil bila sarana pelayanan wisata tersedia untuk memenuhi kebutuhan wisatawan, seperti hotel, gedung atau ruang konvensi, restoran, kafe, toko suvenir, agen perjalanan, dan sarana lainnya. Perkembangan keberadaan bangunan yang melayani kegiatan pariwisata diperkotaan, akhir-akhir ini telah merubah pola spasial kota Makassar, terutama di kawasan kota tua. Fenomena spasial yang terjadi di kawasan kota tua, yang merupakan salah satu pusaka kota,perlu dikaji untuk untuk mengembangan suatu manajemen konservasi yang meliputi aspek sosial, prilaku dan fisik atau aspek visual kota. Tujuan tahap pertama penelitian adalah adalah mengidentifikasi perkembangan sarana pariwisata di kawasan kota tua. Hasil penelitaian tahap pertama adalah data dasar untuk penelitian selanjutnya. Metodologi yang digunakan dalam penelitian tahap pertama ini adalah pengamatan lapangan dan pengambilan data secara langsung untuk mengidentifikasi sarana pelayanan pariwisata. Sarana pelayanan pariwisata yang diamati antara lain adalah hotel, restoran, toko retail, toko cinderamata, kafe, karaoke, agen perjalanan, dan lain-lainnya. Unit analisis yang digunakan untuk mengidentifikasi perubahan pola spasial adalah dari perkembangan kegiatan pariwisata adalah jenis bangunan, perubahan fungsi atau kegiatan, lokasi bangunan, jarak terhadap sarana pelayanan kota, karakteristik bangunan. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa sarana kegiatan pariwisata di kawasan koata tua didominasi oleh restoran, toko retail, dan toko cinderamata. Data dasar dari hasil analisis menunjukkan terjadinya perubahan jenis bangunan, fungsi bangunan, jarak dari sarana pelayanan kota, karakteristik bangunan, pola spasial sarana pelayanan pariwisata di kawasan kota tua
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
