    Web-Based Geographic Information System to Find Viral Culinary Tourist Spots

    Full text link
    The development and implementation of a Web-Based Geographic Information System (GIS) designed to help users discover viral culinary tourist spots, focusing on promoting local food culture. The system is built using the PHP programming language, leveraging its robust server-side scripting capabilities for dynamic web development. The GIS platform integrates various functionalities, including real-time mapping, geolocation services, and user-generated content, to offer an interactive experience for tourists. The platform allows users to search for culinary hotspots, view their locations on an interactive map, get directions, and read reviews from other users. Business owners can register and update information about their culinary spots, contributing to an up-to-date, community-driven database. The system employs a MySQL database to store location data, user profiles, and reviews, while Google Maps API is used for map visualization and geolocation services. The backend structure is built to handle high-traffic environments, using PHP\u27s object-oriented features for efficient and scalable code management. Administrators can moderate content, ensuring the reliability and quality of the information provided. Implementing this system in PHP highlights the language’s flexibility in creating web-based GIS platforms, demonstrating how culinary tourism can be enhanced through modern web technologies. This paper discusses the technical aspects of the system’s architecture, database management, and frontend-backend integration, offering insights into the benefits of using PHP for developing similar GIS applications

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    Penjanaan personalization feedback dalam pembelajaran berasaskan web

    Full text link
    Maklum balas merupakan satu elemen yang penting dalam mana-mana pembelajaran. Dalam pembelajaran menerusi web, maklum balas memainkan peranan yang amat penting dalam menentukan hala tuju seseorang sama ada dalam pengujian maupun penilaian sesuatu tugasan. Ia menyediakan maklumat kepada pelajar atau pendidik untuk panduan selanjutnya dan seterusnya memotivasikan seseorang untuk terus berinteraksi dengan sistem. Dalam kertas kerja ini, objektif utama ialah mengenalpasti tahap atau jenis maklum balas yang bersesuaian dengan keperluan dan tahap pelajar serta mengemukakan cadangan kesesuaian maklum balas dalam persekitaran pembelajaran berasaskan web

    Kerangka maklum balas keperibadian dalam e-pembelajaran

    Maklum balas merupakan aspek yang penting dalam pembelajaran dan pengajaran (Mory, 1996). Bangert-Drown et al (1991) juga menekankan bahawa “ …sebarang teori yang menggambarkan pembelajaran sebagai satu proses yang berpengaruh yang mempunyai persefahaman di antara pelajar dan persekitaran mereka perlu melibatkan maklum balas secara implisit atau eksplisit kerana tanpa maklum balas, pengaruh persefahaman melalui definisi adalah mustahil. Namun, bentuk maklum balas selalu dilihat sebagai unsur penting dalam teori pembelajaran dan pemberian arahan”

    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

    Pembentukan kerangka maklum balas mengikut kesesuaian pelajar

    Full text link
    Maklum balas merupakan salah satu elemen yang penting dalam sistem pembelajaran berasaskan web. Maklum balas merupakan satu alat yang berkuasa yang mampu mempengaruhi pembelajaran dan juga pencapaian. Olehitu, maklum balas yang dijanakan oleh sistem perlu menyokong dan berkemampuan dalam mempertingkatkan pembelajaran pelajar. Maklum balas akan menjadi lebih efektif apabila ia mengikut keupayaan dan keperluan pelajar (personalised feedback). Kertas kerja ini akan membincangkan tentang kerangka maklum balas lepas yang sering digunakan dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran dan memberikan tumpuan kepada pembentukan kerangka maklum balas yang bersesuaian dengan keadaan dan keperluan seseorang pelajar berdasarkan tahap pengetahuan, analisis kesilapan dan juga pengetahuan sedia ada

    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
