Factors influencing overindebtedness: a logistic regression analysis of consumers in Bangkok
No full textOverindebtedness is a source of default risk facing by commercial banks and loan
institutions. Although studies of factors influencing individuals’ indebtedness are prevalent,
less of previous studies had examined financial factors distinguishing mild-debtors from
overindebted individuals. The present study aims at identifying and empirically testing the
financial factors (i.e. financial literacy, experiences in using financial services, and money
management) which distinguish mild-debtors from overindebted individuals. Questionnaires
were distributed to 440 respondents who are at working age in Bangkok area. Logistic
regression analysis was employed in order to identify critical factors distinguishing milddebtors from overindebted individuals. Findings from the present study indicated that financial
literacy and experience in using financial services were not significant factors that
distinguished mild-debtors from overindebted individuals. Money management, i.e. credit
management and saving management were found to be the most significant factors
distinguishing mild-debtors from overindebted individuals. Results from the present study
provide implications for financial institutions to reduce adverse selection problems. Since
credit management is the most critical factors influencing overindebtedness beyond other
factors, records of previous credit usages and payment behaviors of individuals must be
seriously take into account when determining credit approval. To reduce insolvency risk, credit
rating must be used as the first priority when financial institutions approving loans. In addition,
results from the present study also provide implications for policy makers to reduce personal
debt problem. Since financial literacy in term of numeric calculation is not a significant factors
affecting overindebtedness, financial education that emphasizes mathematic and numeric
calculation may not sufficient to reduce overindebtedness problem, training on how to manage
individuals’ budget, saving, and using credit carefully must be emphasized to reduce financial
problems
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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 PDFWe 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 PDFWe 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
