Full text linkTidak bisa dipungkiri lagi perkembangan dunia usaha di Indonesia yang semakin kompetitif menuntut setiap perusahaan untuk dapat mengolah dan melaksanakan manajemen perusahaan menjadi lebih profesional. Dengan bertambahnya pesaing disetiap saat, baik pesaing yang berorientasi lokal maupun pesaing yang berorientasi international (multinational corporation), maka setiap perusahaan harus berusaha menampilkan yang terbaik, baik dalam segi kinerja perusahaan, juga harus ditunjang dengan strategi yang matang dalam segala segi termasuk dalam manajemen keuangan.
Kinerja perusahaan terutama profitabilitas diperlukan untuk menilai perubahan potensial sumber daya ekonomi yang mungkin dikendalikan di masa depan (M.Hanafi, 2005:40)
Dalam upaya meningkatkan produktivitas setiap perusahaan akan bergerak untuk meningkatkan kinerja perusahaannya. Untuk itu setiap perusahan harus melakukan pengukuran dengan skala-skala yang ditetapkan oleh pihak manajemen melalui efektivitas dan efisiensi dalam pengelolaan sumber daya perusahaan agar memperoleh keuntungan (Profit).
Kinerja merupakan suatu prestasi yang sudah dicapai organisasi. Banyak alat yang digunakan untuk mengukur kinerja keuangan suatu organisasi, diantaranya ROI, ROA, ROE dan lainnya yang merupakan bagian dari rasio profitabilitas. Profitabilitas secara umum dapat diartikan sebagai kemampuan perusahaan untuk menghasilkan laba. Laba yang dimaksud berupa hasil yang didapat dari kegiatan operasional perusahaan dan menjadi tolak ukur dalam menentukan kinerja manajemen perusahaan.
Manajemen perusahaan dapat dikatakan sukses jika perusahaan berhasil mencapai keuntungan/laba sesuai yang direncanakan, bahkan jika memungkinkan semaksimal mungkin. Seperti dijelaskan sebelumnya, ratio profitabilitas merupakan salah satu ratio untuk mengukur kinerja keuangan. Menurut (Dermawan dan Djahotman, 2013), Rasio profitabilitas merupakan pengukuran kemampuan dalam memperoleh laba dengan menggunakan aset atau modal perusahaan. Pengukuran dengan rasio profitabilitas ini sangat penting karena dapat mengukur seberapa besar profit/laba yang telah dihasilkan perusahaan.
Selain manajemen yang baik, dalam suatu perusahaan juga memerlukan analisis terhadap laporan keuangan untuk mengetahui kemampuan perusahaan dalam mengatasi masalah-masalah keuangan perusahaan serta mengambil keputusan yang cepat dan tepat. Melalui analisis laporan keuangan, manajemen dapat mengetahui posisi keuangan, kinerja keuangan dan kekuatan keuangan (financial strength) yang dimiliki perusahaan. Selain berguna bagi perusahaan dan manajemennya, analisis laporan keuangan juga diperlukan oleh pihak-pihak yang berkepentingan lain seperti kreditor, investor dan pemerintah untuk menilai kondisi keuangan perusahaan dan perkembangan dari perusahaan tersebut.
Didalam dunia perbankan, bank memiliki peranan penting dalam memajukan pertumbuhan ekonomi. Bank merupakan salah satu mata rantai yang digunakan untuk mempercepat pembangunan. Setelah ditetapkannya undang-undang no.10 tahun 1998 mengenai perubahan atas undang-undang No.7 tahun 1992 tentang perbankan, peranan perbankan dalam peningkatan perekonomian menjadi meningkat, hal ini terlihat dengan masuknya perbankan kedalam dunia bisnis sampai kedaerah pedesaan.
Bank Pembangunan Daerah (BPD) sebagai salah satu bank yang ada pada sistem perbankan nasional memiliki fungsi dan peran yang signifikan dalam konteks pembangunan ekonomi regional karena BPD mampu membuka jaringan pelayanan di daerah-daerah dimana secara ekonomis tidak mungkin dilakukan oleh bank swasta.
Undang-Undang No. l3 tahun 1962 tentang asas-asas Ketentuan Bank Pembangunan Daerah mengatakan bahwa BPD berkerja sebagai pengembangan perekonomian daerah dan menggerakkan pembangunan ekonomi daerah untuk meningkatkan taraf kehidupan masyarakat serta menyediakan pembiayaan keuangan pembangunan di daerah, menghimpun dana serta melaksanakan dan menyimpan kas daerah (pemegang / penyimpanan kas daerah) disamping menjalankan kegiatan bisnis perbankan (Hasan, Anuar, dan Ismail 2010). Sementara itu KEPMENDAGRI No. 62 Tahun 1999 tentang pedoman organisasi dan tata kerja bank pembangunan daerah pasal 2 juga mengatakan bahwa BPD dibangun adalah untuk mengembangkan perekonomian dan menggerakkan pembangunan daerah melalui kegiatan BPD sebagai Bank.

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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
