    The productivity of rice farming is largely determined by the use of production factors such as land, seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and labor. High productivity will only be achieved when the allocation of production factors is done effectively and efficiently. This study aims to determine the effect of production factors on the production quantity of rice farming in the Polenga village, Watubangga district, Kolaka regency. The sample determination in this study was performed using the Slovin method, while the data analysis method used in this study was multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that the production factor of land area had a significant effect on the quantity of rice farming production. Meanwhile, the production factors of the quantity of seeds, the amount of urea fertilizer, the amount of NPK fertilizer, the amount of pesticides and the quantity of workers did not have a significant effect on rice farming production in Polenga village

    "The use of local wisdom in the management of agriculture is a solution to improve the efficiency of agriculture. Subak is a form of local wisdom in the management of wetland rice cultivation, which until now is still used by some people from Bali Island in the overseas region. The community applying the subak system believes that the management of its operations is more efficient through the implementation of the subak system. This study aims to determine the income of subak and non subak groups and the relationship between socio-cultural subak and income from wetland rice cultivation. Data collection is done by the observation method, interviews and bibliographic studies on the sample / respondent of the study. The research respondents were 60, determined by design and randomly. The analysis used is a descriptive statistical analysis. The results showed that the income of farmers in the subak group was higher than that of non-subak farmers with an average income of IDR 12,672,686.67 for the subak group and IDR10,198,529.41 for the non-subak group. There is no structured relationship between socio-cultural income and the total income of each responding farmer, whether subak or non-subak, but if the sociocultural score is high, the income obtained by farmers is also high.Pemanfaatan kearifan lokal dalam pengelolaan usahatani merupakan salah satu solusi dalam upaya untuk meningkatkan efisiensi usahatani. Salah satu bentuk kearifan lokal dalam pengelolaan usahatani padi sawah adalah subak, yang sampai saat ini masih dipertahankan oleh sebagian masyarakat yang berasal dari Pulau Bali di daerah perantauan. Masyarakat yang menerapkan sistem subak tersebut meyakini bahwa pengelolaan usahataninya lebih efisien dengan menerapkan sistem subak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pendapatan kelompok subak dan non subak dan keterkaitan antara sosio-kultural subak dengan pendapatan usahatani padi sawah. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan metode observasi, wawancara, dan studi literatur terhadap sampel/responden penelitian. Responden penelitian berjumlah 60, ditentukan secara purposive dan random. Analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif statistik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pendapatan petani kelompok subak lebih besar dibandingkan petani non subak dengan rata-rata pendapatan sebesar Rp 12.672.686,67 untuk kelompok subak dan Rp 10.198.529,41 untuk kelompok non subak. Tidak ada hubungan yang terpola antara sosio-kultural dengan jumlah pendapatan oleh masing-masing petani responden baik subak maupun non subak, akan tetapi ada kecenderungan jika nilai skor sosio-kultural tinggi maka pendapatan yang diperoleh petani juga tinggi

    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

    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
