Kasus ambalat-reaksi media Indonesia: framing dan komunikasi antarabangsa
No full textMakalah ini adalah satu usaha awal untuk menganalisa reaksi media terpilih dari Indonesia dalam kes perebutan Blok Ambalat Timur oleh Malaysia dan Indonesia di Laut Sulawesi. Isu ini menjadi hangat disebabkan oleh provokasi media Indonesia. Justeru, satu kajian awal menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan kualitatif dan kuantitatif dilakukan untuk melihat usaha media Indonesia membentuk kandungan berita (framing). Dapatan kajian mendapati liputan kes Ambalat oleh media Indonesia banyak mengguna pembingkaian tema berita diplomasi dan desakan untuk berperang. Hasil kajian juga menunjukkan kumpulan elit politik , kerajaan dan Tentera Nasional Indonesia antara sumber berita utama. Kajian mendapati bahawa media Indonesia membelakangkan kepentingan nasional dalam pelaporan berita antarabangsa membabitkan kepentingan Malaysia
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
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
Optimize Urban Infrastructure Planning Based on Big Data and Enhance Xi'an's Urban Image
Get PDFInfrastructure is an essential support for urban operation, and a city's image is directly related to citizens' quality of life and the city brand's construction. Urban infrastructure distribution, equipment types, network switching, and other issues have always restricted the development of communication in Xi'an City, and the addition of big data technology has further increased the communication pressure in Xi'an City and affected the image of Xi'an City. In this paper, we take Xi'an urban infrastructure as the research object and combine the python method to obtain the big data information in the network and the data in the wireless self-organizing sensor. Then, the incomplete data was eliminated, the data was mapped to the 0~1 interval logarithmic manner, and a standardized processing set was formed. Set up wireless ad hoc sensor devices, collected infrastructure-related data, and summarized data through extensive data analysis. At the same time, based on social urban image data, public demand data, and urban infrastructure evaluation results, the content of urban planning is adjusted to better meet the expectations of the public and provide targeted planning solutions. Finally, according to the data fitting, the matching of wireless ad hoc sensor network and city image improvement is realized, and the reasonable planning of infrastructure is promoted. The results of urban image analysis show that wireless ad hoc sensor networks and big data technology can simplify the steps of urban infrastructure planning, reduce urban planning costs, enhance the functionality of the infrastructure, reduce the public complaint rate, and meet the requirements of Xi'an urban image improvement
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
Civic participation as mediating variable between relationship of lifestyles, digital engagement and political participation among youths in Malaysia
No full textThe youth political participation has been on the declining trend in most democratic countries.
However, studies have shown that youth political participation has strong link with their media
usage. In addition, youth were known as being the heavy users of the digital media. Studies have
also shown that civic participation among the youth was positively linked to political
participation. The theoretical underpinning of the study was the Uses and Gratification
theory (U&G) which suggested that gratification obtained, and media usage were two
variables that were related. Thus, this study was conducted with the aims to examine the
lifestyles, digital engagement, civic participation and political participation
of youth in Malaysia. The study was also conducted to identify if civic participation
mediates these relationships between lifestyles and political participation and digital
engagement and civic participation. A quantitative survey method was conducted on 5237
respondents that were chosen through a stratified random sampling technique. These were
youth aged between 15 to 25 years old. A set of questionnaires were used as the instrument
for data collection. The lifestyles variable was measured through four domains namely;
the media usage, religious and community services, recreation and vocational
activities, and high-brow culture. The digital engagement measured the level of digital
engagement. While the civic participation and political participation measured the activities
that they were involved related to the variables. The data obtained for the study was analysed
using descriptive analysis of frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. Linear
regression analysis was used for the hypotheses testing while PROCESS mediation
analysis was used to explain the mediation. The finding shows that the respondents were spending their leisure
activities digitally engaged. Thus, suggesting a media-oriented lifestyle yet, they were only
engaged at the basic level of the Internet usage, similarly with the digital engagement which was
more on basic digital engagement as oppose to the advance digital engagement. The
political participation of youth was low while the civic participation was slightly better.
The relationships between the independent and dependent variables were positive, significant
but at the moderate level. The civic participation of youth was found to mediate the relationships
between the lifestyles of youth and digital engagement. Similarly, the civic participation also
mediates the relationships between digital engagement and political participation. In terms of
contribution to the body of knowledge, new approach for the U&G theory need to be considered in
light with the interactivity feature offered by the media technology. The called for the theory to
expand and include a broader outcome variable was supported. Newer measurement needs to be
developed to capture the essence of youth consumption of the newer media in relations to their
lifestyles as well as their civic and political participations. There were four major philosophical
issues that warrant further investigation from the findings namely; the issues of
preparedness of youth in embracing the advance level of digital engagement that will
assist them for better political participation, the role of civic participation should be enhanced
to induce better political participation; the lifestyles of youth is proven to be a predictor for
youth political participation and finally, the implication of a serious
generational gap between the youth and the older generation in the
community
