An Islamic approach to environment protection / Muhammad Dayyan and Rafia Afroz
Get PDFEnvironment is getting worst day by day especially in the Muslim countries. It urgently needs an effort to maintain or restore the quality of environmental whether through policy or behavior-individual approach. The characteristics of goods and services, consumption patterns, production techniques, treatment or disposal of residuals need to change in such a way can retain the environment degradation. The conventional approach whether Command-Control Approach and Market Approach profoundly concept that discuss to control and regulate the environment damage but it seem inadequate. The paper argues that Islam has a comprehensive manner on environmental protection. The Islamic approach integrates individual and government policies have granted stewardship to manage the earth in accordance with the purpose intended by his Creator. Individually Muslim imbued with faith (‘aqidah), worship (‘ibadah), and ethical (mu’amalah) have strong bearing for the environment protection. Institutionally, Islamic policy such as well-planning, legislation, monitoring, effectively address the problem of pollution in a wide variety of situations. It would promote environmental awareness and avoid all the causes of at the root of environmental problems
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
Resistensi Masyarakat Terhadap Perbankan Syari?ah di Kota Langsa
No full textThe presence of Islamic Banking in Langsa since 2005 is in line with the aspirations of the Acehnese as an application of Islamic law. In this case the economic and finance tailored to the sharia is to establishe the people to be compete constructively in favor and the successful life such as happiness, glory, and the hereafter (falah). This things is to realized the shariah goal (maqashid sharia) especially in dharuriah five dimensions, such as: religion, life, thought, ancestry, and wealth. The Islamic banks has established in Langsa since 14 years ago, but the people in Langsa not yet fully trust the operational of Islamic banks. They think there is no difference between Islamic banks and conventional banks, beside using sharia label only. The people that become a conventional bank?s customer has a perception that either the Islamic banks or conventional banks still contains a riba
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
