Single phase ac motor control using CPLD / Muhamad Yusri Muhamad Idris
Full text linkThis project involves the design, development and operation of single phase AC motor using XILINX. The output voltage is controlled using well known Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique. The objective of this project is to regulate the output of AC motor (speed)) using Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT). The design is based on XILINX chip XC95108 Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) that acts as a controller to control the switching of IGBT and modulate the PWM signal externally. A comparison was made between the experimental results obtained and the simulations results from PSpice

Permasalahan penelitian 1) Bagaimanakah metafora digunakan masyarakat Iliran-Uluan Sumatera Selatan dalam sastra lisan? 2) Katagori metafora konseptual apa saja yang digunakan masyarakat Iliran-Uluan Sumatera Selatan dalam sastra lisan? 3) Bagaimanakah metafora dalam sastra lisan masyarakat Iliran-Uluan Sumatera Selatan dapat dianalisis dengan teori strukturasi? Metode penelitian yang dipergunakan untuk menjawab penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif. Simpulan penelitian ini adalah: 1) Metafora dipergunakan oleh masyarakat Melayu Islam Sumatera Selatan dalam sastra lisan senjang, tadut, rejung, petatah petitih puyang, mantra/jampi, slogan, cerita rakyat, ungkapan adat, dan toponim; 2) Katagori metafora konseptual yang digunakan masyarakat Iliran-Uluan Sumatera Selatan dalam sastra lisan diklasifikasikan menjadi tiga katagori: (1) metafora orientasional; (2) metafora ontologis; (3) metafora struktural, dengan katagori yang paling banyak digunakan adalah metafora struktural; 3) Teori strukturasi dapat mengungkap beragam temuan fenomena.

A study of ethical leadership behaviours and integrity system practices from employees' perspectives in Malaysian government-linked companies (GLCs) / Taqiah Hani Muhamad Idris
Full text linkIn 2017, Malaysia was placed at rank 62 among 180 countries in Corruption Perception Index (CPI) with score of 47 over 100. It was the lowest rank since the index was introduced in 1994. One of the factors that contributed to the lower rank is the increasing of ethics and integrity issues among the top management and leaders in Malaysian Government-Linked Companies (GLCs). This issue has raised the concern of the stakeholders on the need of ethical leaders in GLCs. One of the reasons to have moral and ethical leaders in the management of GLCs is to uphold the level of integrity system of the organization and at the same time to bring positive reputations to the organization. The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine to what extent the influence of ethical leadership behaviours (altruism, courage, ethical guidance, integrity, and fairness) of a leader towards the level of integrity system practices in the organization and to examine the level of integrity system practices in Malaysian GLCs, as perceived by employees. A sample of 305 employees in GLCs participated in completing a survey to address the questions to the ethical behaviours of their leaders and the practice of integrity system in the organization. The mean and Std. deviation analysis indicated the level of integrity system practices in GLCs is at high level at 81.235%. Meanwhile, the Pearson correlation and Multiple regression analysis indicated only altruism behaviour (r = 0.358, p<0.05) and ethical guidance behaviour (r = 0.414, p<0.05) of a leader has positive significant effect towards integrity system practices in Malaysian GLCs. However, in this study it shows that the ethical guidance behaviour of a leader turnout to be the most influencing behaviour towards the level of integrity system practices in GLCs (B = 0.341; t-value = 4.529; p<0.01). These findings are not conclusive as there is no evidence from related study available to support the findings in this study. Future research should include other variables or using moderation or mediation factor in order to analyse other factors influencing the integrity system practices in Malaysian GLCs
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
