Zon pesisiran pantai: penjana pertumbuhan ekonomi Malaysia
No full textPertumbuhan ekonomi sering dikaitkan dengan kewujudan sumber dan etika pengurusannya. Namun, dikebanyakan negara membangun mahupun sedang membangun, khususnya negara-negara dunia ketiga, sumber menjadi elemen utama pertumbuhan ekonomi mahupun prasarana sosial. Terdapat pelbagai persoalan yang terbayang dalam minda seseorang apabila membincangkan konsep pesisiran pantai. Laut, paya bakau, pelancongan, perikanan, masyarakat nelayan, kemiskinan dan pelbagai persoalan akan bermain dalam pemikiran seseorang apabila konsep pesisiran pantai diutarakan.
Namun pada hakikatnya, ke semua persepsi dan tanggapan tersebut hanya satu pandangan yang sempit serta tidak menyeluruh berhubung konsep zon pesisiran pantai secara global. Walaupun pada dasarnya hampir 70 peratus dan permukaan bumi diliputi lautan, namun is tidak mampu diurus dengan efisien akibat dan kerakusan manusia mengejar kekayaan sumber alam yang sering diperkatakan. Kini, sumber petroleum di Kutub Utara sekalipun sudah mula dikenalpasti sebagai lokasi penerokaan sumber utama bagi beberapa buah negara maju. (Disalin daripada artikel)
Kemiskinan dinamik masyarakat pulau dan pesisiran pantai: Kajian kes Pulau Perhentian
Full text linkMasyarakat yang mendiami kawasan pulau dan pesisiran pantai mempunyai corak kehidupan yang agak berbeza berbanding rnasyarakat yang mendiami kawasan tanah besar. Corak
kehidupan mereka sering dikaitkan dengan sumber alam semulajadi seperti sumber perikanan dan hasil kehadiran pelancongan dari dalam mahupun luar negara. Corak perolehan serta perbelanjaan mereka juga tidak seragam dan kerapkali dikaitkan dengan jurang kekayaan sesama mereka dari sudut sosio-ekonomi serta pengaruh musim. Yang menjadi persoalannya di sini ialah, kedudukan masyarakat pulau yang sering dibelenggu kemiskinan serta jauh ketinggalan dari sudut sosio-ekonomi, walaupun pada dasarnya mereka memiliki khazanah alam semulajadi yang tidak ternilai harganya. Justeru, kertas kerja ini dan meninjau punca kemiskinan di kalangan penduduk Pulau Perhentian serta kawasan pesisiran pantai yang melibatkan penumpuan khusus terhadap konsep kemiskinan secara relatif (inequality approach). Fokus utama kajian ini adalah dari sudut perolehan atau pendapatan dan perbelanjaan masyarakat pulau serta pesisiran pantai. Bagi mendapatkan kedudukan sebenar paras kemiskinan masyarakat pulau serta pesisiran pantai, kajian ini telah mengadaptasikan Model Foster-Greer Thorbecke (FGT) berbentuk indeks yang menjadi pengukur kemiskinan utama dikalangan negara membangun. Dalam pada itu, kajian ini juga akan memberikan kedudukan sosioekonomi
masyarakat pulau serta pesisiran pantai yang pada dasarnya didorong oleh perkembangan pelancongan. Kedua, kajian ini juga mampu mengupas profail kemiskinan masyarakat pulau dan pesisiran pantai yang dijana oleh faktor pelancongan. Di akhir kajian ini, beberapa intepretasi dasar akan diutarakan bagi memantap serta mengatasi ketidakseimbangan
agihan pendapatan masyarakat pulau dan pesisiran pantai
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
Exploring the role of energy, trade and financial development in explaining economic growth in South Africa: A revisit
No full textSouth Africa is an emerging and industrializing economy which is experiencing remarkable progress. We contend that amidst the developments in the economy, the role of energy, trade openness and financial development are critical. In this article, we revisit the pivotal role of these factors. We use the ARDL bounds [72], the Bayer and Hanck [11] cointegration techniques, and an extended Cobb–Douglas framework, to examine the long-run association with output per worker over the sample period 1971–2011. The results support long-run association between output per worker, capital per worker and the shift parameters. The short-run elasticity coefficients are as follows: energy (0.24), trade (0.07), financial development (−0.03). In the long-run, the elasticity coefficients are: trade openness (0.05), energy (0.29), and financial development (−0.04). In both the short-run and the long-run, we note the post-2000 period has a marginal positive effect on the economy. The Toda and Yamamoto [91] Granger causality results show that a unidirectional causality from capital stock and energy consumption to output; and from capital stock to trade openness; a bidirectional causality between trade openness and output; and absence (neutrality) of any causality between financial development and output thus indicating that these two variables evolve independent of each other
The nexus between tourism demand and output per capita with the relative importance of trade openness and financial development: a study of Malaysia
No full textThis article revisits the tourism-growth nexus in Malaysia using time series quarterly data over the period 1975–2013. The authors examine the impact of tourism using two separate indicators – tourism receipts per capita and visitor arrivals per capita. Using the augmented Solow production function and the autoregressive distributed lag bounds procedure, they also incorporate trade openness and financial development and account for structural breaks in series. The results show the evidence of cointegration between the variables. Assessing the long-run results using both indicators of tourism demand, it is noted that the elasticity coefficient of tourism is 0.13 and 0.10 when considering visitor arrivals and tourism receipts (in per capita terms), respectively. Notably, the impact of tourism demand is marginally higher with visitor arrivals. The elasticity of trade openness is 0.19, that of financial development is 0.09 and that of capital share is 0.15. In the short run, the coefficient of tourism is marginally negative, and for financial development and trade openness, it is 0.01 and 0.18, respectively. The Granger causality tests show bidirectional causation between tourism and output per capita, financial development and tourism and trade openness and tourism demand, duly indicating the feedback or mutually reinforcing impact between the variables and providing evidence that tourism is central to enhancing the key sectors and the overall income level
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
