Disaster management: the impact of flood disaster on small medium enterprises in Malaysia
Full text linkFlood is the most devastating natural disaster experienced which damages to human life and deterioration of environment. Malaysia has experienced major floods in various states since 1920s, but the most destructive flood in the history of the state occur currently in Kelantan in the year of 2014 which likely to exceed more than RM1 billion losses or equal to USD 300 million (Malaysia National Security Council, 2015). Floods inflicted a huge negative impact to the economy and society, especially private properties, businesses and industries such as small medium enterprises (SMEs). Most businesses are short of financing to cover the losses incurred which lead to intention to quit among the SMEs by cease operation or to run at less capacity due to the floods. Since SMEs plays a prominent role to economics, there is a need for Qardhul Hasan financing scheme in helping those affected SMEs to rebuild their business without going through complicated process and high interest rate from microfinance institutions and banks in order to obtain a loan

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
BreedCat i-Care: the development of breeder cat care mobile application / Nur Fazlen Idayu Jaharuddin
Full text linkAll animals, including breed cat, need to be cared and loved. However, not much attention is given to breed cat. Therefore, this project, which is BreedCat i-Care mobile application is intended to teach the cat owner on how to take care of their breed cat. The objectives of this project are to identify the user requirement for BreedCat i-Care mobile application, to design and develop the breedCat i-Care by following the Mobile Development Life Cycle (MADLC) methodology during the development process. This mobile application will be used Android Studio software with java programming to provide an efficient application. In addition, to make this mobile application be more interesting, the multimedia elements is included such as video-based audio. Furthermore, BreedCat i-Care mobile application have provide platform to find the breeders within Shah Alam area using geolocation. Last but not least, based on the results of testing phase, it shows that this project will benefits several parties such as the breed cat owners as this mobile application will help them to learn on how to take care of breed cat interactively, the designer and developers will develop the mobile application that brings benefits to the community. For future recommendation, this mobile application can also be used in iOS platform and can add more value of interactive element such as 360 degrees videos to get attraction from users
Waste 4.0: Optimising sustainability of waste management using digitalisation for developing countries
No full text<p>Optimising waste management is one of the key areas in sustainable development to protect public health and the environment. However, most countries are yet to achieve sustainable waste management due to increasing waste generation, limited landfill space, resource depletion, cost of recycling, public buy-in, etc. These challenges have resulted in poor waste management and environmental pollution – producing toxic gases, radiation, and pest breeding. To overcome these issues, developed countries have introduced digitalisation to optimise waste management's sustainability. While there are still a few challenges, digitalisation has significantly optimised waste management by increasing the reuse and recycling rate, reducing overall costs, and improving management efficiency. This development brings to this paper's central question: To what extent can digitalisation optimise waste management sustainability in developing countries? Since these countries face different structural and sociocultural challenges, this paper will use systematic literature review analysis to identify selected waste management digitalisation models and critically study the compatibility of these models in developing countries. This paper will also propose critical measures needed to improvise the digitalisation model of waste management for developing countries to ensure the sustainability of the model.</p>
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
