al-Fitri al-Tsaqafi; Nahwa al-Jadid fi al-Manhaj al-Kalami 'inda Muhammad al-Ghazali
No full textThis research was written to see one of the new methods in the development of the science of kalam, by using the book Aqidah al-Muslim by Syaikh Muhammad al-Ghazzali as the object of research. The new method is al-Fithry al-Tsaqafi. From his book, it can be analyzed that Syaikh Muhammad al-Ghazali applied the method of al-Fithry al-Tsaqafi in the development of contemporary kalam science issues. This is illustrated from the five chapters in the book. Namely: Criticism of the science of kalam, proof of the form of God, creation of nature, description of the verse "laisa kamitslihi syai’un", and human freedom (af’Äl al-ibÄd). From these observations, there are three main elements of how the author has actually used the method of al-Fithry al-Tsaqafi, this is evidenced by the following reasons: First, he tried to explain kalam problems with axiomatic things, so that the reader is not burdened with terms that are difficult to understand. Second, trying to build a creed from its immediate source, namely the Qur'an and Sunnah. Three, explaining the negative side of the previous method of the science of kalam and its influence with modern thought
Dalīl al-Ākhirah inda Maulana Wahidudin Khan
No full textThis article is written to review one of the new proving methods in the development of Kalam science, in order to face the modern-day materialism that is oriented towards all things physically as a dangerous threat to religion. This is because belief in religion, in addition to discussing physical things, also discusses the metaphysical matters. It includes faith in God and faith in the Hereafter, both of which are metaphysical. One of the new ideas that became an important theme in the study of contemporary Islamic scholars is the thought of Maulana Wahiduddin Khan. This article uses the type of Library research, with the study of the Kalam science approach. Subsequently, the researcher used a Descriptive method to describe the Akhirat proof according to Wahiduddin Khan. In proving the religious truth about life in the Hereafter, Khan combines kalam with evidence of strong experiments, explaining the importance of belief in the life of the Hereafter. And in combining Kalam with evidence of Experimentt, Wahiduddin Khan opened up the afterlife by describing some of the research that has been done by scientists in modern times which is based on the experiment by: 1) in terms of medical research, 2) terms of research psychology, 3) in terms of the study of the spiritual, With these three studies aimed at preventing human beings from adverse acts and in order to improve human morale to live better
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
