DESIGN OF THE MANAGEMENT MODEL OF URBAN HOUSEHOLDS SOLID WASTE GENERATION
Full text linkOne of the global problems related to the future of cities is the environmental problem, namely the amount of municipal solid waste. From this waste, several issues arise in various aspects, such as health, aesthetics, and social and environmental problems. So that focused research is carried out on the management of urban solid waste produced by households. The research objective is to design a conceptual model and determine the variables and indicators that affect the generation of urban household solid waste and determine what prevention can be done. The model intended consists of 5 variables and 17 indicators. Data was collected based on a survey method with a closed questionnaire distributed to 120 respondents aged ≥ 17 years and residing in Yogyakarta. Analysis of the model and variable relationships was carried out based on the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method with the help of AMOS 24 software. The results showed that the designed model was valid. Socioeconomic variables, KAP level, waste reduction, and seasonality are direct predictors determining waste generation behavior. Socioeconomic variables are also direct predictors of KAP level and seasonal variables, and KAP level variables are direct predictors of waste reduction and seasonal variable
DESIGNING AN INVENTORY MODEL FOR THE BEHAVIOR OF DEPENDENCE ON LPG GAS CONSUMPTION OF 3 KG USING THE DYNAMIC SYSTEM SIMULATION METHOD IN LUWUK BANGGAI REGENCY
Full text linkLiquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) or more commonly known as LPG gas is a gas stove fuel that comes from the results of liquefied petroleum gas and is then put into a tube, one of which is a 3-kilogram tube. The behavior of dependence on the consumption of 3-kilogram gas cylinders from the people of Banggai Regency can be seen from the use of non-subsidized 3 kilogram LPG gas, namely (±) 32. 002 people/group, the second is the consumption rate from subsidies and non-subsidies, namely 38. 864 units from total users, namely (±) 45. 000 people/groups with a supply of 30. 800 units and the third about frequent scarcity in 2020 and early 2021 reported by Banggai News and Obormotindok. Simulation Method Dynamic systems are modeling and running simulations of real systems to analyze problems and present solutions from policy scenarios from the researcher's perspective. By using this method, researchers can identify the behavior of 3 kilograms of gas consumption from the rate of consumption and demand through tables and graphs using the Powersim Studio 7 software. The results of the study present 3 policy scenarios, namely the first scenario regarding an increase in the transition to 99% non-subsidized gas cylinders with simulation results, namely September 1 2021 - October 1 2022 the demand is fulfilled, the second scenario regarding the addition of a 7th agent with simulation results, namely September 1 2021 - April 1 2023 demand can still be fulfilled and the third scenario regarding an increase in the transition to 99% non-subsidized gas cylinders and the addition of a 7th agent with simulation results, namely 1 September 2021 – 1 September 2023 the demand for needs is fulfilled. The conclusion is that the third policy scenario will be taken because among the policy scenarios presented, the preparation of tube supplies is fulfilled within two years, namely September 1 2021 - September 1 2023
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
