    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

    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

    Kenderaan untuk mengangkut hasil tangkapan dari jeti ke tempat penjualan / Nur Azrina Isnan

    Pengangkutan adalah satu kemudahan yang dapat membantu manusia melakukan sesuatu aktiviti atau pekerjaan dengan lebih cepat, mudah dan selamat. Pengangkutan dalam sektor perikanan jarang mendapat perhatian dari segi keselamatan, kemudahan dan keselesaannya. Bagi membantu untuk mengurangkan masalah nelayan dan pekerja di sektor perikanan, suatu rekabentuk akan dihasilkan bagi memudahkan pengangkutan hasil tangkapan daripada jeti ke tempat penjualan. Peralatan yang digunakan pada masa kini banyak mendatangkan masalah kepada para pekerja dan seterusnya akan mempengaruhi kualiti kerja dan kualiti hasil tangkapan yang terjejas. Penggunaan peralatan yang tidak sesuai ini akan memberi kesan dalam jangka masa panjang kepada pekerja. Oleh itu, pengangkutan yang sesuai akan direkabentuk bagi menjamin kualiti kerja dan hasil tangkapan dalam sektor perikanan ini

    Isnan Nurdiansah, 2010. Creating a "Instrument Design countdown the number of items using a microcontroller-based LDR sensor." Diploma Program Computer Science, computer engineering, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Surakarta Sebelas Maret. Calculation of the number of items at this time is usually done manually. For example, for calculating the number of items should be packed in a cardboard box in a small factory needed manpower to make record of the number of goods that enter into these boxes. With the recording done by human beings who have a limited memory can also cause double counting. From the above written problems, will create a tool that can perform the calculation accurately without any data manipulation. Tools that will be created using LDR sensors are connected to the microcontroller as a controller. Here will be designed and constructed a tool entitled "Countdown Tool Total Returns using LDR Sensor- Based Microcontroller". Overall, the amount of goods counter is equipped with two LDR sensors as input. And using a microcontroller AT89S52 as program-controlled device. LDR sensor can be combined with a microcontroller AT89S52 and programs using the language C. From the results of this tool-making done capable of calculating the amount of goods automatically and very accurately. If sensor A first blocked from the light sensors highlight then to B then the number will increase. And if the sensor B was blocked first highlight of the light sensor and then to A then the number would be reduced

    ABSTRAKSI Faktor - Faktor Yang Mempengaruhi Volume Pembiayaan Berbasis Bagi Hasil Bank Umum Syariah di Indonesia Isnan Damar Hikmawan F0308058 Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Non Performing Financing (NPF), Suku Bunga Kredit Investasi, Inflasi, Produk Domestik Bruto, Dana Pihak Ketiga terhadap volume pembiayaan bagi hasil Bank Umum Syariah di Indonesia periode 2006-2012. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini diperoleh dari data Laporan Keuangan Publikasi Triwulanan Bank Umum Syariah periode 2006-2012. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah 11 Bank Umum Syariah di Indonesia. Teknik analisis yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah regresi linear berganda yang bertujuan untuk memperoleh gambaran yang menyeluruh mengenai hubungan antara variable. Sedangkan uji asumsi klasik yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini meliputi uji autokorelasi, uji normalitas, uji multikolonieritas, dan uji heteroskedastisitas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa CAR, NPF dan DPK berpengaruh positif terhadap pembiayaan bagi hasil. Suku Bunga Kredit Investasi dan Inflasi tidak berpengaruh terhadap pembiayaan bagi hasil. Sedangkan variabel PDB berpengaruh negatif dan signifikan terhadap pembiayaan bagi hasil Bank Umum Syariah. Kata Kunci: CAR (Capital Adequacy Ratio), NPF (Non Performing Financing), Suku Bunga Kredit Investasi, Inflasi, Produk Domestik Bruto, Dana Pihak Ketiga (DPK), Pembiayaan Bagi Hasil

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    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
