CHILD LABOUR IN INDONESIA CAN IT BE ELIMINATED
Get PDFPresently, Indonesia has witnessed the high number of child labourers. International Labour Organization (ILO) and Indonesian Statistical Bureau (BPS) reported that the number of child labourer was stood for 1.76 million in 2009. This number remain the same at 1.7 million in 2012. This paper is an attempt to analyse the incidence of child labour, the main causes and the strategies to eliminate child labour. This study found that child labour in Indonesia can be reduced through addressing the main cause of child labour such as poverty, limited access to education services and parental attitudes through indirect and direct intervention. To implement those two approaches, the participation of all child labour stakeholders particularly government, parents, school teacher, parents, labour inspectors, employees and children itself is a must. By participation of those stakeholders the enabling environment supporting child labour elimination will be achieved and in turn reduce and eliminate child labour
Social Protection in Developing Countries Contributions of Social Protection to Resolving the Problem of Poverty and Vulnerability
Get PDFThe Covid-19 and global recession increased uncertainty at macro and
micro levels. Social protection was designed as a short response to these
crises. This paper examines the coverage of social protection and its
potential contribution in solving poverty and vulnerabilities in developing
countries. This paper also investigates the experience of Indonesia in
implementing social protection programs to reduce poverty and prevent
vulnerable groups from poverty and other deprivation. This paper fount that
social protection plays significant contributions to resolving the problem of
poverty and vulnerability in developing countries since social protection
contribute to economic growth, the fulfilment of human rights, increase
human development, create social and political stability, prevent the slide
into poverty and eliminate discrimination and marginalization. The
experience of Indonesia in implementing social protection program shows
considerable progress in improving the welfare of the people in poverty and
vulnerable groups. There is considerable room for improvement as there
are some gaps in the implementation of social protection programs
including lack of coordination and synergies among the existing
programmes, small coverage, financial sustainability, cost of
administration, targeting issues, compliance and policy driven
PATTERN AND DETERMINANT OF SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL TO WORK TRANSITION OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN ISLAMIC DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: EVIDENCE FROM EGYPT, JORDAN AND BANGLADESH
Get PDFThis study considers the impact of conservative cultures, by comparing the patterns and determinants of the successful school-to-work transition of young people in Egypt, Jordan and Bangladesh. This study argues that the most consistent and significant influence of successful transition among male and female youth are micro predictors compared to mezzo and macro predictors. This study found that male and female youth are treated differently during their school-to-work transition. Conservative culture has negative influences on the successful transition of female youth while a positive transition is experienced by male youth. Education is a key strategy in reducing the negative impacts of conservative culture and promoting successful school-to-work transition particularly if both male and female youth are to attain stable employment.</jats:p
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
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
