    Background and aimPortfolio is a set of evidence and documents of students, which shows their endeavors, achievements and successes in theoretical or clinical education. It is one of performance appraisal methods by which tutors can evaluate both the process and progress of learning. Portfolios differ according to design objectives that determine their contents. Main components of educational portfolio in nursing include critical incidents, clinical experiences, log book notes, patient interviews, performance observations, critical incident audits and clinical evaluation of nursing students. This study with a comprehensive literature review was intended to assess portfolio-based learning in nursing education. Materials and Methods A comprehensive literature review from 1980 to 2009 with keywords including portfolio, learning and nursing education was carried out by searching Iranian and International databases including Iran Medex, IranDoc, Pub Med, ERIC, Emerald, Science Direct, Pro Quest and Ovid. FindingsStudies revealed that portfolio-based learning is used as an educational and testing strategy in developed countries; however, it is not common in Iran, which warrants further investigation.  Conclusion According to educationalists, a well-completed portfolio provides written documents with nursing students and their tutors regarding course objectives, learning needs and ways to meet them. This is very effective on achievement of objectives in theoretical and practical lessons and their evaluation. Keywords: Portfolio, Learning, Nursing education.  *Corresponding Author: Abdollah Khorami Markani, PhD Student, Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Shariati, Tehran, Iran. E-mail: [email protected]

Fenomena itu menjadi menarik karena Partai Golkar atau PDI-P masih unggul di wilayah tertentu,Partai Golkar lebih menguasai wilayah hilir, sebaliknya wilayah hulu menjadi basis suara PDI-P. oleh karena itu politik bagaimana kah yang di terapkan oleh partai Golkar agar mereka mendapati suara yang mereka inginkan dan penerapan etika borpolitik yang seperti apakah agar partai Golkar selalu baik di mata masyarakat. Contoh kongkritnya adalah partai politik di masa Orde Baru yang hanya tiga partai (Golkar, PPP dan PDI), kemudian pecah menjadi beberapa partai politik pada masa Era Reformasi. alasan utama pecahnya partai politik adalah power, mereka ingin mendapatkan power,sementara kendaraan politik yang ada tidak memungkinkan untuk mendapatkan power, karena adanya perbedaan pendapat dan kepentingan. Satu-satunya jalan adalah membentuk partai politik baru, walaupun ternyata kendaraan yang baru juga tidak semua dapat mengantarkan untuk mendapat power di lembaga eksekutif dan legislative. Akan tetapi partai Golakar masih bertahan hingga saat ini karena mereka masih dianggap solid dan mampu bertahan dalam kancah perpolitikan yang terjadi di Indonesia. Mereka berusaha dengan gigih agar dapat mempertahankan dengan berbagai kondisi terutama menurut mereka bahwa dengan cara berlandaskan nilai Islam dapat mempertahankan eksestensi mereka sebagai partai besar di Indonesia.

    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

    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

    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    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

    We 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
