    A truss is a frame structure that consists of a group of triangles arranged in a single plane so that the load is pointed at the intersection of members. The main topic discussed in this report is to study the roof trusses and structured of the building based on Cadangan Membina dan Penambahbaikan Sekolah-sekolah DAIF menggunakan sistem Industrialised Building System (JBS), Pasir Puteh Kelantan. This report contains the installation, material and method of roof trusses that have been constructed in this building construction. I have used several types of ways to find and gain information such as interviews and observation, information from books, and the internet. As a conclusion, this report is contained about construction of trusses using steel that can produce more efficiency for the better structure

    Cerita jenaka Melayu merupakan salah satu cabang sastera rakyat yang mengandungi watak dan perwatakan lucu sehingga mencuit hati pendengarnya. Sarjana barat iaitu Winstedt telah menyatakan bahawa cerita jenaka Melayu mempunyai lima watak iaitu watak Pak Pandir, watak Pak Kaduk, watak Pak Belalang, watak Si Luncai dan watak Lebai Malang yang berperwatakan bodoh, bodoh sial dan juga pintar. Perwatakan yang digambarkan oleh sarjana barat ini bersifat negative. Namun jelas digambarkan oleh penglipurlara bahawa watak-watak ini mempunyai perwatakan yang murni. Sehubungan dengan itu, Pandangan yang bersifat negatif ini hanya melihat pada satu lapis makna sahaja iaitu bodoh dan sial. Sorotan kajian yang dilakukan oleh pengkaji mendapati bahawa wujudnya tiga pandangan yang berbeza seperti jenis watak, watak dan perwatakan, serta pandangan masyarakat terhadap watak dan perwatakan menerusi cerita cerita jenaka Melayu. Pengkaji-pengkaji lepas turut terikut dengan pandangan Winstedt tersebut tanpa mengkaji dengan lebih mendalam alasan watak utama itu melakukan sesuatu tindakan sehingga memperlihatkan kebodohan diri sendiri. Oleh itu, wujudnya kekosongan ruang yang telah diperkemaskan oleh pengkaji untuk melihat watak dan perwatakan yang bersifat positif. Kajian ini mempunyai dua objektif kajian yang telah dikenalpasti iaitu memperlihatkan watak dan perwatakan menerusi cerita jenaka Melayu dan menganalisis watak dan perwatakan yang bersifat positif menerusi cerita jenaka Melayu. Dalam mencapai objektif kajian, kaedah kepustakaan dan analisis bahan menerusi hasil rakaman telah digunakan untuk menerapkan pendekatan psikologi humanistik. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa watak-watak yang terdapat dalam cerita jenaka Melayu tradisional memiliki perwatakan yang bersifat poisitif, walaupun sebelumnya digambarkan sebagai watak dan perwatakan yang bersifat negatif. Selain itu, kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa terdapat watak dan perwatakan yang bersifat positif seperti watak dan perwatakan yang ringan tulang dan pandai, watak dan perwatakan yang menurut perintah dan bijaksana, watak dan perwatakan yang berani dan pintar, watak dan perwatakan yang mempertahankan hak dan bijaksana, watak dan perwatakan yang menepati janji dan cerdas, watak dan perwatakan yang berdikari dan cerdik, watak dan perwatakan yang tidak tamak dan cerdas serta watak dan perwatakan yang jujur dan cerdas. Maka, kajian ini seharusnya dapat mengubah pandangan masyarakat terhadap cerita jenaka Melayu yang bersifat negatif kepada watak dan perwatakan yang bersifat positif

    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

    Get PDF
    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
