    The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function

    No full text
    This thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author

    This paper examines the context of online indexing from the viewpoint of three different groups: users, authors, and professional indexers. User tags, author keywords and descriptors were collected from academic journal articles, which were both indexed in Pubmed and tagged on CiteULike, and analysed. Descriptive statistics, informetric measures, and thesaural term comparison shows that there are important differences in the use of keywords between the three groups in addition to similarities which can be used to enhance support for search and browse. While tags and author keywords were found that matched descriptors exactly, other terms which did not match but provided important expansion to the indexing lexicon were found. These additional terms could be used to enhance support for searching and browsing in article databases as well as to provide invaluable data for entry vocabulary and emergent terminology for regular updates to indexing systems. Additionally, the study suggests that tags support organisation by association to task, projects and subject while making important connections to traditional systems which classify into subject categories

    Pendekatan layout umumnya dapat ditemukan pada perusahaan-perusahaan besar dikarenakan butuhnya stabilitas akan proses produksi. Dan juga operasional merupakan jantung suatu perusahaan yang membuktikan bahwa operasional yang baik tidak akan luput dari layout yang baik juga. Antara lain salah satu cara perusahaan yang menginginkan aktifitasnya tetap berjalan harus memperhatikan layoutnya. Marsha merupakan perusahaan manufaktur yang setiap aktivitasnya diharuskan memiliki tingkat efisiensi yang baik. Efisiensi dari aktivitas perusahaan Marsha yang sebesar 72,73%, terukur dari perhitungan yang sudah dilakukan penulis dan mampu untuk dilebih efisienkan dengan menggunakan metode Bobot Posisi sehingga efisiensi perusahaan dapat meningkat. Meningkatknya efisiensi kinerja akan sangat menguntungkan bagi perusahaan, dimana perusahaan dapat mengurangi beban kerja contohnya saja waktu yang digunakan perusahaan akan lebih sedikit, yang berikutnya akan mempengaruhi beberapa aspek penting yang bergantung pada divisi operasional seperti biaya, ruang kerja, dll. Bobot posisi merupakan metode yang digunakan untuk penentuan jumlah workstation yang dibutuhkan oleh perusahaan dan menentukan efisiensi yang optimal bagi perusahaan. Pada penerapan di perusahaan Marsha peneliti menggunakan metode Bobot Posisi untuk mendapatkan hasil yang optimal, hasil perhitungannya adalah penulis mendapatkan bahwa efisiensi perusahaan menjadi 84,85%, dengan kata lain perusahaan meningkatkan efisiensinya sebesar 12,12% dari hasil awalnya yang sebesar 72,73%. Hasil tersebut sejalan dengan penelitian terdahulu Aulia Risky (2014), yang menggunakan metode Bobot Posisi dalam melakukan perhitungan efisiensi perusahaan dan menghasilkan yang mana metode tersebut dapat memberikan informasi kepada perusahaan bahwa ada line balancing yang lebih optimal dan efisien
