Collaborative Governance in Ecological Politics: Non-Govermental Organization Influence and Strategies in Food Estates Program in Central Kalimantan
Full text linkThis study explores the role of NGOs in the governance of food estate projects in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. The food estate program aims to boost national food production but faces significant environmental and social challenges due to its implementation on fragile peatland ecosystems. Past projects have led to severe environmental degradation and social conflicts, raising concerns about the sustainability and inclusiveness of the current initiative. Using a qualitative research approach, this study analyzes how NGOs influence food estate policies and their strategies for promoting good environmental governance. Data collection involved semi-structured interviews with stakeholders, field observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that NGOs significantly impact policy formulation and implementation by providing scientific data, advocating for community rights, and ensuring independent oversight. Their involvement enhances policy effectiveness, promotes sustainability, and fosters social equity, highlighting the importance of collaborative governance in addressing complex environmental and social issue
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
Collaborative Governance dalam Penanganan Kemacetan di Kota Surabaya Provinsi Jawa Timur
No full textPenelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pelaksanaan collaborative governance dalam penanganan kemacetan di Kota Surabaya. Teori collaborative governance yang digunakan untuk menganalisis didasarkan atas pandangan Ansell dan Gash (2007) yang meliputi 4 dimensi yakni: Starting Conditions, Institusional Design, Facilitative Leadership, dan Collaborative Process. Desain penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan post positivism. Pengumpulan data dilaksanakan melalui studi dokumentasi, observasi, dan wawancara. Penentuan informan didasarkan atas kriteria tertentu dengan asumsi bahwa informan merupakan aktor atau pihak-pihak yang terlibat sesuai dengan fokus/tema penelitian. Data yang terkumpul kemudian dianalisis dengan terlebih dahulu memilah berdasarkan tema/kategori, kemudian dianalisis berdasarkan pola umum yang terjadi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan collaborative governance mampu mengurangi tingkat kemacetan di Kota Surabaya. Berdasarkan hasil analisis terhadap 4 dimensi menunjukkan adanya berbagai upaya kolaborasi untuk mengantisipasi terjadinya kemacetan lalu lintas. Meskipun demikian, program kerja yang dilaksanakan hanya berdasarkan perintah, instruksi, dan kebijakan pimpinan sesuai koridor yang dibuat oleh Kepala daerah karena jelas bentuk dokumen kerja sama antar stakeholder dalam penanganan kemacetan. Kondisi ini dapat mengancam keberlanjutan pelaksanaan collaborative governance apabila terjadi pergantian kepemimpinan.Kata Kunci: Collaborative governance; Kemacetan; Pemerintahan Daera
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
ASSESSING ORGANIZATIONAL MATURITY IN PUBLIC SERVICE AGENCIES: EVIDENCE FROM BASIC SERVICE DELIVERY IN KUPANG REGENCY, INDONESIA
Full text linkThis study assesses the organizational maturity of local government agencies (OPD) responsible for mandatory basic public services in Kupang Regency, Indonesia. This issue matters because empirical, structured maturity assessments of basic-service agencies remain limited, making it difficult for local governments to pinpoint which organizational capacities most urgently require improvement. The study covers six agencies: the Departments of Education, Health, Public Works and Spatial Planning, Housing–Settlement Areas and Land Affairs, Municipal Police and Fire Services, and Social Affairs. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews and document reviews in March 2024. Maturity was evaluated using 11 variables specified in Ministry of Home Affairs Regulation (Permendagri) No. 99/2018. The results indicate that organizational maturity in Kupang Regency remains low, with an overall score of 19.66 in 2022, increasing to 21.16 in 2023. The key finding is that seven variables consistently scored low across agencies: service quality assurance, service standard operating procedures, staff education and training, equipment resource management, risk management, service innovation development, and organizational culture
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
