Predictors of fresh organic fruits and vegetables consumption through intention of consumption / Nur Hazwani Mohammad Azam
Full text linkSince the environmental awareness is increasing among the consumers, most of them decide to change their food consumption pattern to organic food. This trend had caused a lot of research and studies to be conducted to further understand the underlying factors that can lead to the behaviour. Theory of Planned Behaviour is a famous framework that had been used by researchers to understand factors that influence the intention and actual behaviour of organic consumption. There are also other factors that influence the intention and actual behaviour of organic consumption apart from the three main variables in Theory of Planned Behaviour (attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioural control). This study applied the Theory of Planned Behaviour and added other independent variables (health awareness and personal norm) to find out the main factors that can predict the intention to consume fresh organic fruits and vegetables of the respondents who never consumed fresh organic fruits and vegetables before. It is found out that two independent variables from Theory of Planned Behaviour, subjective norm and perceived behavioural control are significantly influence the intention to consume fresh organic fruits and vegetables. One of the added variables, personal norm that represent environmental awareness is also found significant. It shows that the Theory of Planned Behaviour can be improved by adding personal norm to predict the intention to consume fresh organic fruits and vegetables among the consumers who never consumed fresh organic fruits and vegetables before

No full textABSTRAK Fakhri, Mohammad Azam. 2014. Pola-Pola Interaksi Sosial Pada Mahasiswa Teradiksi Jejaring Sosial di Internet. Skripsi, Jurusan Psikologi, Fakultas Pendidikan Psikologi Universitas Negeri Malang. Pembimbing: (I) Dr. Fattah Hanurawan. M.Si, M.Ed, (II) Indah Yasminum Suhanti, M.Psi. Kata Kunci: Pola-Pola Interaksi, Teradiksi Jejaring Sosial, Pola Interaksi Individu dengan Individu. Interaksi sosial adalah hubungan timbal balik antara individu dengan individu, individu dengan kelompok dan antara kelompok dengan kelompok. Interaksi sosial merupakan proses komunikasi diantara orang-orang untuk saling mempengaruhi perasaan, pikiran dan tindakan. Untuk mengetahaui apakah individu itu teradiksi jejaring sosial di internet. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengatahui apakah individu teradiksi jejaring sosial di internet dan gejala-gejala individu teradiksi jejaring sosial. Pola-pola interaksi dibagi menjadi tiga yaitu: Pola interaksi individu dengan individu, individu dengan kelompok, kelompok dengan kelompok. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa fakultas psikologi Universitas Negeri Malang, subjek tidak dibedakan antara laki-laki dan perempuan yang menjadi pembeda adalah individu teradiksi jejaring sosial di internet. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Warnet, Lokasi Wi-fi dan tempat kos subjek. Analisis data yang dipakai adalah analisis tematik, tematik adalah peneliti melakukan identifikasi, analisis, dan melaporkan pola-pola (tema-tema) yang ada dalam data. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa semua subjek berinteraksi sosial secara individu dengan individu menggunakan chatting, comment, dan posting, individu dengan kelompok menggunakan posting, sharing, dan upload foto, kelompok dengan kelompok menggunakan comment, sharing, dan upload foto. Namun lebih cenderung berinteraksi individu dengan individu, ini dapat dilihat dari hasil wawancara. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian maka disarankan. (1) Bagi mahasiswa agar menjadikan facebook sebagai media yang dapat menjadikan sumber informasi. (2) Bagi orang tua Diharapkan orang tua mengetahui gejala-gejala teradiksi jejaring sosial dan dapat mengawasi anaknya dengan cara mengetahui dampak negatif dari jejaring sosial. (3) Bagi psikolog membantu mahasiswa teradiksi jejaring sosial di internet agar dapat melepaskan diri dari ketergantungannya terhadap jejaring sosial. (4) Bagi peneliti lain untuk mengembangkan penelitian berikutnya dengan penelitian berpendekatan kuantitatif.
Infertility in iranian traditional medicine from Hakim Mohammad Azam Khan point of view
Full text linkIntroduction: Fertility and having healthy child is one of the valuable indexes in people's health. Incidence of infertility in the world has a treatment economic load and also causes significant psychiatric complications for the infertile couples and threats the health of family. Given the importance of the issue, attention to complementary medicine and use of Iranian traditional medicine can be useful and helpful. This study was performed with aim to evaluate the causes of infertility from Iranian traditional Medicine (ITM) point of view according to the valuable Exir book of Hakim Mohammad Azam Khan. Methods: This study was performed as library based on reference availabe and reliable books of traditional medicine such as law in medicine, store of Kharazmshahi, Aghili's Kholasah al-Hekmah and Moalejat with a focus on Azam Exir, and finally, what Hakim Azam Khan explained about the causes of infertility was stated. Results: Iranian medicine Hokama have suggested various reasons as the causes of infertility in men and women, separately, and stated different treatment methods such as single plants, combined drugs and method performed manually including bloodletting, cupping, and massage, and at the end of the treatment method in food section explained the type of food that is useful for disease. They divided causes of infertility into two groups of male and female factors and emphasized on the existence of semen in men and women and the role of each one in fertility. Sufficient production of semen in males and ovum in females depends on the health of body's main and vital members (including the heart, brain and liver). They reported fertility was possible through the health of genital system and production of reproductive semen in both and simultaneous orgasm of man and woman when having sex. Conclusion: According to the careful viewpoint of Hakim Azam Khan in explaining the causes of infertility and accurately classifying them, as well as description of how to diagnose and treatment courses of each of the infertility causes, it seems that today by relying on their views on empirical research, we can achieve more effective treatments for infertility. © 2015 - Journal Management System
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
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe 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
