    Bangun Sari Village, which is a center for selling ornamental plants, especially shaved bonsai plants in Tanjung Morawa District, cannot be separated from the influence of the Covid-19 pandemic, especially on production and income. The price of the shaved bonsai commodity which is higher than other commodities as well as the new trend of ornamental plants during the Covid-19 pandemic are also factors that affect the amount of demand for shaved bonsai in Bangun Sari Village. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the production and business income of shaved bonsai ornamental plants in Bangun Sari Village. Determination of the area is done intentionally. Samples were selected using probability sampling method and 35 samples were obtained. The data analysis method used is a comparative method using a different test with related samples (two paired sample t-test). The results showed that there were significant differences in the production and income of shaved bonsai before and during the Covid 19 pandemic in the study area. The average seed production per farmer decreased by 31.14% during the Covid-19 pandemic. The average farm income decreased by 41.18 % during the Covid-19 pandemic.96 HalamanSkripsi Sarjan

Based on the non-Financial Aspect, it shows results that meet the criteria according to Law, Technic and Technology, Social Environment and also The Cultural Aspects.117 HalamanSkripsi Sarjan

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    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

    Dampak Kebijakan Non Tariff Measures Terhadap Ekspor Udang Indonesia

    No full text
    Akses pasar internasional yang semakin terbuka menimbulkan kekhawatiran bagi para pelaku usaha dalam negeri. Semakin mereduksinya kebijakan tarif dan kuota, menyebabkan aliran produk yang sulit untuk dibendung dari pasar internasional. Kebijakan NTM menjadi suatu pengganti kebijakan tarif yang sudah mulai direduksi oleh negara-negara importir. Adanya dugaan penerapan kebijakan NTM yang tidak transparan ini menimbulkan beberapa kasus-kasus penolakan produk impor di pasar internasional. Udang Indonesia sebagai komoditas yang memiliki nilai ekspor terbesar sulit untuk terhindar dari pemberlakuan kebijakan NTM berupa sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) dan technical barriers to trade (TBT). Semakin ketatnya pengawasan dari setiap negara importir untuk melindungi konsumen, maka negara importir telah memaksa pelaku usaha udang di Indonesia untuk dapat menjaga kualitas udang yang diproduksi. Udang dapat dikatakan sebagai produk perikanan tangkap dan juga produk perikanan budidaya. Kedua kelompok ini memiliki permasalahan masing-masing. Pada udang di perikanan tangkap, isu penyemaran lingkungan yang ada di laut Indonesia merupakan hal yang paling sering disorot oleh negara-negara importir udang indonesia sedangkan pada kelompok perikanan budidaya isu yang disoroti adalah batas residu dari penggunaan antibiotik yang diberikan pada proses produksi udang Indonesia yang dapat berdampak negatif pada kesehatan konsumen. Penelitian ini menyajikan gambaran mengenai perdagangan udang Indonesia dan implementasi kebijakan NTM. Tujuan utama penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis dampak kebijakan NTM terhadap ekspor udang Indonesia di pasar internasional. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisis panel data serta inventory approach. Inventory approach digunakan untuk mengubah data kebijakan NTM yang bersifat kualitatif menjadi kuantitatif. Data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder dari beberapa lembaga seperti WITS, UNCTAD, ARTNET, World Bank dan publikasi internasional yang lainnya Faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi ekspor udang Indonesia di estimasi menggunakan gravity model. Hasil empiris menunjukkan PDB negara eksportir serta nilai tukar memiliki pengaruh negatif terhadap ekspor udang Indonesia. PDB negara importir dan biaya perdagangan memiliki pengaruh positif terhadap ekspor udang Indonesia, sedangkan penerapan kebijakan SPS dan TBT yang diberlakukan oleh negara importir dianggap tidak mempengaruhi ekspor udang Indonesia di pasar internasional

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    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
