Evaluating testing practice between automated and manual test: a case study in Openet Telecom Malaysia / Nora Muhammad Abdul Ghani
Full text linkThis study basically to evaluate the testing practice that currently implement in Openet Telecom Malaysia. At the moment, Openet apply Manual and Automated test in their projects. As far as we concern, Automated testing have many advantages over Manual testing. However, not all projects can use Automated testing. At some point Manual testing still significant to apply since it more suitable to implement compare with Automated testing in certain scenario. Thus, this study will identified which type of testing should be implementing in Openet project. This study will focus on Transaction Management (TM) project and Policy Management (PM) project. The objectives of this study are to gather requirement for Openet project between automated and manual test using Black Box testing technique, to analyse the testing practice implement in Openet for Transaction Management (TM) and Policy Management (PM) project and to propose recommendation of testing practice that suitable for Openet's project scope. Therefore, this study will identify the suitable testing practice in Openet project in order to give good test result as overall whether to implement Automated testing, Manual testing or both testing simultaneously in Transaction Management (TM) project and Policy Management (PM) project
Modelling Malaysia flora multimedia presentation using object oriented database management system / Nora Muhammad Abdul Ghani
Full text linkMultimedia information can be presented in the Object-Oriented Database Management System (OODBMS) which has the capability to handle complex data that Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) is not able to support. It is because in OODBMS, data types can be extended to support complex data. The objectives for this research are to investigate the data requirement for flora presentation, to design flora logical model using Object Oriented Database and to demonstrate the prototype of flora multimedia presentation. A lecturer in the Faculty of Applied Sciences Universiti Teknologi MARA was interviewed that flora database is interesting to present in interactive way rather than static presentation. Questionnaires were distributed to students at the Faculty of Applied Sciences Universiti Teknologi MARA to identify the multimedia requirements for the flora database. Subsequently, an interview was carried out with a lecturer from the same faculty to get the flora database requirements. Based on these requirements the logical model for the database was designed and a prototype was developed. The prototype was presented in interactive multimedia features which consist of video, image, audio and text. Thus, the multimedia prototype designed meets the requirements as stipulated by the users
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
