Anti-Bullying LMS Design for a Safe Learning Environment in Higher Education
Bullying in higher education poses significant threats to students’ right to feel safe, disrupts psychological well-being, and undermines the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4 (Quality Education) and Goal 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). This study aims to (1) identify the prevalence and forms of bullying in higher education, and (2) design an anti-bullying education program based on a Learning Management System (LMS) to enhance campus safety and support SDGs. A descriptive qualitative case study was conducted with 15 students, 10 lecturers, and 5 educational staff. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and campus policy document analysis, and analyzed thematically. Findings reveal that 36.7% of students experienced verbal abuse, 20% experienced online humiliation, and 26.7% were socially excluded. Bullying manifests in physical, verbal, psychological, and cyber forms, negatively affecting mental health, well-being, and academic achievement. The proposed LMS-based anti-bullying education incorporates structured learning modules on bullying types, impacts, and prevention strategies; online training for students and educators; discussion forums; integrated case reporting mechanisms; and periodic evaluations via questionnaires and data analysis. The system enhances awareness, facilitates anonymous reporting, and fosters active participation in creating a safe campus environment. This study underscores the potential of LMS as a strategic platform for inclusive, evidence-based anti-bullying interventions, contributing to the fulfillment of students’ rights and supporting the realization of SDG targets
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
“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
We 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
Penguatan Etika Digital Mahasiswa Melalui Pembuatan Modul Beretika Digital dalam Pembelajaran
Penelitian ini mengembangkan modul pedoman beretika digital untuk meningkatkan kompetensi kewarganegaraan digital mahasiswa, dengan mengintegarasian teori maqasid syariah yang menekankan aspek agama, jiwa, dan akal sebagai landasan teroritis utama kerangka modul. Menggunakan metode Research and Development (R&D) dengan model Hannafin & Peck (analisis kebutuhan, perancangan, pengembangan, dan implementasi). Model ini menekankan tiga tahap inti (analisis kebutuhan, desain, pengembangan/implementasi) yang bersifat siklus dan fleksibel, memungkinkan revisi cepat berdasarkan masukan ahli dan uji coba lapangan. Survei melibatkan 200 mahasiswa menggunakan angket dengan skala likert 1-4 untuk mengidentifikasi kebutuhan mahasiswa. Hasil survei mengungkap perilaku rendahnya etika digital seperti: penggunaan gawai tidak relevan saat kuliah, plagiarisme konten AI, cyberbullying, komunikasi digital kurang sopan, dan ketidakdisiplinan dalam perkuliahan daring. Analisis menunjukkan empat faktor penyebab: (1) iklim akademik yang kurang mendukung, (2) ketimpangan antara ketergantungan teknologi dan pemahaman etika, (3) keterbatasan literasi digital mahasiswa, dan (4) normalisasi kebiasaan buruk seperti plagiarisme. Modul yang dikembangkan mencakup materi konsep etika digital, prinsip perilaku etis di ruang digital, serta latihan reflektif-evaluatif. Hasil uji-t membuktikan modul signifikan meningkatkan pemahaman etika digital sebesar 48% (p < 0.05) pada kelompok eksperimen dibanding kontrol. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya integrasi pedoman etika digital berbasis nilai dalam kurikulum perguruan tinggi. Rekomendasi penelitian meliputi: (1) pelatihan dosen dalam penerapan modul, (2) penelitian longitudinal untuk dampak jangka panjang, dan (3) kolaborasi dengan pemangku kebijakan untuk menyusun standar nasional etika digital. 
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
We 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
We 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
