Analysis of Work Posture in Ismail Ali SMEs Using the NBM, REBA, and OWAS Methods
Full text linkIn Gresik Regency, there are SMEs such as Ismail Ali that sell products such as cement. In lifting and arranging cement, manual material handling is carried out. As a result, workers are at risk of back injury whose activities are not ergonomically appropriate, musculoskeletal disorders can arise. From these activities, the NBM analysis was carried out to determine the source of pain obtained on a Likter scale of 3 in the high risk level, the REBA method by involving the angle of the worker's posture obtained a score of 11 in the very high category, and the OWAS method by examining the effect of the load on the posture obtained a score of 3 in the high category. This research shows that lifting and arranging cement in Ismail Ali SMEs has a high risk of musculoskeletal disorders, seriously affecting health and work productivity. The results of the analysis using the NBM, REBA, and OWAS methods, found that non-ergonomic work positions cause serious injuries if not addressed immediately. Therefore, industries need to implement corrective measures such as scheduled breaks, stretching, improved work postures, worker rotation to reduce the risk of injury, increase efficiency, and prevent human error due to fatigue
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

Pada saat pemindahan semen masih dilakukan secara manual material handling. Akibatnya membuat pekerja mengalami cedera punggung yang aktivitasnya tidak sesuai ergonomi, timbul gangguan muskuloskeletal. Dari aktivitas tersebut dilakukan NBM untuk mengetahui sumber rasa sakit, hasil dari skala likter 3 termasuk dalam level resiko tinggi, harus segera dilakukan tindakan, metode REBA dengan menilai sudut postur tubuh pekerja menghasilkan skor 11 dengan kategori sangat tinggi, dan metode OWAS dengan meneliti pengaruh beban terhadap postur tubuh menghasilkan skor 3 dengan kategori tinggi. Adapun tindakan perbaikan untuk pekerja dengan memberikan waktu istirahat selama 1 jam yang dilakukan sebanyak dua kali, melakukan peregangan untuk menjaga otot, tulang, dan persendian agar tetap kuat, menggunakan postur tubuh yang benar saat duduk dan berdiri, serta melakukan rotasi pekerja. Dengan begitu dapat menghindari cidera otot, tulang, dan sendi akibat posisi kerja yang tidak ergonomis, menghindari human error akibat kelelahan yang dapat menyebabkan kecelakaan kerja, mencegah terjadinya kelelahan yang ekstrim akibat tugas yang monoton atau berulang-ulang, dan menghindari absensi yang tinggi akibat cidera kerja sehingga operasional tetap berjalan dengan lancar
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
