Museums and funding: practices in Malaysia and the United Kingdom
Get PDFIn my 1999 research project to investigate the state of public museums in Malaysia it became evident that Malaysian museums had limited autonomy and relied heavily on government subvention. In contrast, UK and USA museums, being historically different, enjoyed diverse sources of funding and a more sovereign approach to achieving their missions. Clearly, there were lessons the Malaysian museums could learn from their counterparts, particularly from the UK national museums. This research investigates the funding profiles and practices of three national museums in the UK, and three national museums in Malaysia. The UK national museums earned at least 25 per cent of their total income independently, were highly regarded internationally and were leaders in their categories. The Malaysian museums belong to the same category as their UK counterparts - art, history and science - and were the most prominent national museums in the country. The study covers a twelve-year period between 1990 and 2002, which in the UK witnessed the inception of lottery funding, aggressive fundraising and the setting up of museum trading companies. During the same period, tax exemptions were introduced in Malaysia to raise private sector involvement in the arts and culture. The purpose of the study is to understand the strengths and limitations of relying on contributed revenue and self-generated income by analyzing empirical data from annual reports, interviews with key personnel, funding agreements, corporate plans, bi-annual reports, and government reports among other sources. Museums' scholar, public and social and customer orientations were investigated via museum mission statements with the intent to understand what roles museums embrace in their pursuit of social relevance
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
Sistem Pengurusan tatatertib di tempat kerja
No full textBuku ini meneliti semua aspek tentang tatatertib di tempat kerja.Bermula dengan perbincangan mengenai konsep asas tatatertib yang menyoroti beberapa istilah penting seperti tatatertib, kawalan tatatertib, peraturan, kesalahan, hukuman, prosedur dan rayuan.Istilah-istilah ini dikupas dengan penerangan berserta dengan keterangan semasa.Buku ini turut meneliti beberapa konsep utama berkait rapat dengan aplikasi tatatertib di tempat kerja.Model progresif tatatertib yang dipakai oleh sektor awam hari ini diberi kupasan di awal buku ini.Konsep lain seperti konsep keadilan asasi, konsep hak penjawat awam mendapat remedi dan doktrin pemaafan diolah dengan aplikasi kes tatatertib dan diberi penumpuan dalam buku ini bertujuan untuk memaparkan realiti yang berlaku di tempat kerja.Buku ini turut membincangkan kelemahan yang terdapat dalam sistem tatatertib hari ini.Faktor sistem dalam kawalan tatatertib dan modal insan khususnya pihak urus setia yang mengurus prosedur tatatertib yang mengendalikan kes tatatertib majikan dan pekerja diberikan perhatian dalam buku ini. Buku ini amat menarik kerana dipaparkan kes-kes tatatertib yang dibawa ke mahkamah untuk memperlihatkan kepada kita kelemahan sistem dan kelemahan majikan mengambil keputusan dan tindakan.Buku ini membantu pembaca mengetahui tentang peraturan kesalahan, hukuman, prosedur dan rayuan yang bersabit dengan tatatertib di tempat kerja.Turut dibincangkan ialah kesilapan lazim yang dibuat oleh pihak urus setia, majikan dan kakitangan sehingga menyebabkan kes-kes tatatertib itu berlanjutan dalam tempoh yang lama sehingga merugikan pihak majikan.Buku ini harus dibaca oleh semua penjawat awam tidak kira kakitangan bawahan atau atasan.Kefahaman tentang tatatertib – kesalahan, hukuman, prosedur dan rayuan akan membantu kakitangan bekerja dengan lebih baik.Bagi ketua jabatan, buku ini dapat membantu dalam memperbaiki tatacara mengurus tindakan tatatertib dengan lebih baik dan berkesan.Setelah pertuduhan dikeluarkan, perbicaraan dijalankan dan hukuman dijatuhkan, apakah hak-hak yang ada pada kakitangan selepas itu?

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
