The Physiochemical Condition of Mangrove Ecosystems in The Coastal District of Sulamo, Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia
Get PDFVarious rehabilitation and restoration of mangrove forests have been done, but there have not been any significant results. The main reason for the various failures in this activity is that the effort is not based on scientific data such as the suitability of the physicochemical conditions of mangrove habitats along the beach coast of Sulamo District. The purpose of this research is to analyze the condition of salinity, the thickness of mud, and the beach slope of the selected mangrove locations Oeteta, Pariti, Beringin, and Pitai beaches. The salinity conditions show variations, ranging from 19 ppm to 42.33 ppm. The thickness of the mud shows the highest value at 79.11 cm and the slope of mangrove coastal 1–4%. This research shows that the condition of the mangrove ecosystem in the coastal district of Sulamo is still suitable for mangrove growth. This research provides a basic overview of mangrove ecosystem conditions located on the beach coast of the Sulamo district as the basis for planning rehabilitation programs and mangrove restorations in the research area
PELATIHAN PEMBIBITAN TANAMAN HUTAN DALAM MENDUKUNG KONSERVASI SUMBER MATA AIR BAUMATA, NUSA TENGGARA TIMUR (NTT)
Get PDFNusa Tenggara Timur merupakan suatu daerah yang memiliki enam dari dua puluh satu kabupaten dan kota yang masih memiliki tingkat kerawan atau kesulitan untuk memiliki air bersih dalam memenuhi kebutuhan hidup sehari-hari. Desa Baumata Merupakan suatu daerah yang berada pada kabupaten Kupang yang menyediakan sumber air bagi keperluan masyarakat yang berada disekitarnya. Masalah yang dihadapi oleh masayarakat desa Baumata atau Kelompok Masyarakat Peduli Sumber Mata Air Baumata adalah menurunnya debit air akibat maraknya penebangan liar pada wilayah sekitar sumber mata air yang menjadi daerah tangkapan air dan kondisi sanitasi air bersih. Hal ini harus menjadi priorotas didalam menjaga keberlangsungan sumber mata air Baumata. Berbagai usaha dilakukan untuk menyelesaikan problem permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh masyarakat dengan cara berbagai penyuluhan mengenai konservasi sumber mata air serta bagaimana menjaga kondisi sanitasi air bersih dan berbagai kegiatan pelatihan pembimbitan tanaman hutan di lakukan kepada masyarakat desa Baumata sehingga mereka dapat berpartisipasi melakukan berbagai kegiatan konservasi terhadap sumber mata air desa Baumata.Keywords: Debit air, Penebangan liar, Tangkapan ai

Get PDFMangrove is a specific ecosystem, which commonly is in the small wave beach or covered from wave beach area, affected by the sea tidal and water fill from the land. The purpose of this research is to know the spatial spread of the mangrove habitat environmental factor (salinity, mud thickness and slope) at the Kupang seashore ( Paradiso, mangrove tourism and Oesapa). The salinity condition of the mangrove forest at Paradiso is low up to medium category, the mud thickness is slight, thick and very thick. The slope is 2%-2,66%. At the mangrove tourism location, the salinity is varied from the dominant range value 23,33% and 24,66%, mud thickness is 10,88 cm up to 51,33 cm, and the slope of 1%-3%. At Oesapa mangrove forest location, the salinity is between 10%-18%, the mud thickness is 21,55 cm – 49,22 cm, and the slope is 2%-3%. The environmental condition of the mangrove forest which is at Kupang seashore must be a model for the planning and the management of the mangrove forest in Kupang
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
