ABSTRACT
By:
Muhammad Amran Halim
In Indonesian education context, recently the word „genre‟
seems to gain its most popular and hot issue to teaching and learning
English, particularly writing skill. However, many of them the
students or teachers apparently are not good at understanding and are
not truly well informed about the genre itself. It could be said that the
word „genre‟ is still a kind of mystery to uncover. This paper is an
attempt to present the nature of genre, genre writing, genre as a
product of writing, and genre as an approach to teaching and learning
writing.
The objectives of this research were to know and analyze the
process of teaching learning writing by using genre-based approach, to
know and analyze the teacher‟s problem in teaching writing by using
genre-based approach and to know and analyze the students‟ problem
in learning writing by using genre-based approach. The writer
analyzed the data at the IX grade which consisted of students in
class. The population of research were in classes with students.
The writer used purposive sampling.
Based on the data analysis, it was found that the process of
teaching learning writing by using genre-based approach was not
running well because of some factors. The teacher found it difficult to
control the class. And other students found it difficult to reconstruct
the text; they were confused with unfamiliar vocabulary and
occasionally made mistakes in their writing. The teacher struggled
to control and quiet the rowdy students. The teacher needed to re�explain material for several times. The teacher had difficulties in
iv
explaining paraphrasing to the students (vocabulary). Also, the
language use (grammatical pattern) of label and procedure text.
Meanwhile, some of the students‟ motivation and interest were low in
learning writing. The students felt difficult to write, because the
students had limited vocabulary. Most of students did the mistakes in
writing, they almost felt confused the new words or the words that non
familiar. The students did not know about grammatical.

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
Fusion of holistic and local features for palmprint recognition
No full textMaster of Science in Computer EngineeringPalmprint recognition has become an important and rapidly developing technology in
biometric system over the past decade. The success of palmprint identification requires
the best matching of the test sample from input data and the templates in the palmprint
database. The used of holistic and local features separately will have limitations in
geometry and variations. Information fusion of palmprint biometric is developed in
order to produce a better recognition performance. Thus, this research work presented
the fusion of holistic and local features for palmprint recognition. The overall structure
of the study takes the form of three major steps includes pre-processing techniques,
feature extraction and matching process before proceeds with fusion to combine the
holistic and local features. Pre-processing technique is the initial stage to make sure the
palmprint image from dataset is cropped and resized into the specific size. The entire
proposed method is validated using benchmark PolyU dataset for palmprint recognition
analysis. Gabor filter pattern is used to extract important information in holistic features
while Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) is used to extract low frequency energy of
local features. Then, the computation of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is
applied to reduce the high dimensional feature space to low dimensional feature space.
Low dimensional feature space preserved low frequency information. Classification is
the process used to distinguish and classify a new observation based on the training set
of data. The purpose of Euclidean distance classifier is to measure the matching value
and its closeness between the training and testing feature vectors. Among various fusion
levels, matching score level fusion is the most suitable approach in combining the
match score from two different matchers because this fusion rule can increase matching
accuracy. It is developed by forming a single value for decision process from the
matching output of different matching module. In the matching score fusion scheme,
weighted sum rule produced superior performance. The best recognition rate of 97% is
achieved using 100 subjects. Based on the recognition analysis, there are three
important parameters that affect the performance which is the size of input image, the
effect of principal components number, and the number of DCT coefficient
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
