Drug Abuse and Women’s Involvement in Drug-related Crimes in Bangladesh and Indonesia: A Comparative Analysis
Full text linkThis article attempts to examine in what manner women are involved in drug-related crimes and explores the factors and scenarios of drug abuse to compare two Southeast Asian countries, Bangladesh and Indonesia. Drug abuse and drug peddling are an uprising phenomenon in recent society. Drugs are scattered in every corner in all the divisions in Bangladesh. Additionally, Indonesia has the highest rates of women’s drug addiction. Women’s involvement in drug-related crime is not a new phenomenon. Studies found that not enough easy access to drugs and the availability of consumers due to curiosity are the main causes of women’s involvement in drug peddling. This is a mixed-method study based on secondary analysis, which includes numeric data related to drug abuse and women’s involvement. Some case studies are also captured where study findings portray the increasing status of drug abuse, including women’s involvement. The theory of deviant behaviour is also used to connect with the findings. This study recommends controlling drug abuse among all addicted people, especially women’s involvement
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
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
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
Automation of 5G network slicing security using intent-based networking
Get PDFNetwork slicing is a fundamental technological advancement that facilitates the provision of novel services and solutions within the realm of 5G and the forthcoming 6G communications. Numerous challenges emerge when implementing network slicing on a large-scale commercial level since it necessitates comprehensive control and automation of the entire network. Cyberattacks, such as distributed denial of service (DDoS) and address resolution protocol (ARP) spoofing, can significantly disrupt the performance and accessibility of slices inside a multi-tenant virtualized networking infrastructure due to the shared utilization of physical resources. This article employs intent-based networking (IBN) to identify and address diverse threats through automated methods. A conceptual framework is presented in which the IBN manager is integrated into the network-slicing architecture to facilitate the implementation of automated security controls. The proposed work is assessed using an experimental test bed. The study's findings indicate that the network slice's performance exhibits improvement when successful detection and mitigation measures are implemented. This improvement is observed in various metrics: availability, packet loss, response time, central processing unit (CPU) and memory utilization
Situation Analysis of Street Child Beggars in Kushtia District, Bangladesh: A Study Based on Education, Health and Living Standard
Full text linkThe purpose of this study is to look at the educational, health, and living Standards of child beggars in four Upozillas in Kushtia district. A total of 160 child beggars were interviewed for this study. Data was obtained from respondents utilizing a well-organized questionnaire. An interview schedule, and face-to-face interview methods were used for collecting primary data. We employed simple random sampling techniques. Various socioeconomic and demographic variables were taken into account during data collection. However, only variables relating to education, health, and living Standards are used in this work. According to the study, around 54.4% of child beggars were illiterate, and 38.8% of child beggars did not attend school. The vast majority of respondents (67.5%) did not associate any type of labor other than begging. Over half of the child beggars (61.3%) have reported playing with friends in their spare time. Around 65.7% of respondents were subjected to various forms of torture, with beatings being the most common. Food consumption was insufficient, and the majority of them were underweight. Their sanitary conditions were deplorable, and as a result, they suffered from a variety of mild to severe diseases. But, most importantly, about 63.1% of them were using tube-well water as their main source of drinking water.
