Peranan kepimpinan mahasiswa di kolej kediaman dalam memperkasa kemahiran insaniah (soft skills) / Fairus Muhamad Darus
No full textKolej kediaman merupakan rumah kedua selepas fakulti bagi mahasiswa yang banyak memperuntukkan masa sepanjang berada di universiti. Justeru itu, pelaksanaan aktiviti pembangunan dan kepimpinan mahasiswa di kolej kediaman dapat membantu pihak pengurusan universiti untuk memperkasa
modal insan dalam konteks latihan kemahiran insaniah. Kepimpinan mahasiswa di kolej kediaman, iaitu Jawatankuasa Perwakilan Kolej (JPK) memainkan peranan utama dalam merancang dan melaksana aktiviti pembangunan dan kepimpinan mahasiswa ke arah menyediakan landasan untuk mengasah dan memperkaya kemahiran insaniah. Kertas kerja ini membincangkan tenteng kepimpinan mahasiswa dalam mengatur gerak kerja untuk memperkasa kemahiran insaniah di kolej kediaman
Budaya penyelenggaraan kemudahan kolej di kalangan mahasiswa: kajian kes di Kolej Melati, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam
Get PDFPelbagai kemudahan dan perkhidmatan disediakan oleh pihak pengurusan kolej demi memastikan keselesaan mahasiswa yang menginap di kolej kediaman. Sikap mengambil mudah atau tidak endah di kalangan penghuni kolej kediaman akan kerosakan kecil terhadap kemudahan yang disediakan mengakibatkan kerosakan tersebut menjadi serius sehingga tidak dapat dibaiki dan perlu diganti baru. Hal sebegini juga menyebabkan kos penyelenggaraan dan pembaikan menjadi tinggi. Kertas kerja ini membentangkan perkongsian pengalaman budaya penyelenggaraan kemudahan kolej dikalangan mahasiswa yang berlaku di Kolej Melati, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam
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
Activated carbons developed from oil palm fiber for the removal of dyes from dilute aqueous solution / Fairus Muhamad Darus, Rusdin Laiman and Mohd Nizam Yusof
Get PDFActivated carbon, prepared from low cost palm oil fiber has been utilized as the adsorbent for the removal of basic dyes from aqueous solution. A basic dye, methylene blue has been used as the adsorbate. Experiments were conducted at different parameters of methylene blue solutions namely, pH, adsorbent dose, initial concentration of dye and contact time. The most effective of color removal was achieved at pH 6 and 7, while the percentage removal increased with the increase in carbon dose. The removal's percentage increased with increasing of initial dye concentration. The adsorption equilibrium for color was reached at 90 minutes of contact time. Results obtained were tested using two most common isotherms which are Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The adsorption patterns were found to follow both isotherms. Results indicated that activated carbon prepared from palm oil fiber could be employed as an alternative to commercial activated carbon in wastewater treatment for colour removal
