    FATF Recommendation and Charitable Organizations Supervision Policy in Indonesia: A Study on the Prevention of Terrorism Financing

    No full text
    This research aims to analyze the supervision policies of charitable organisations in Indonesia, particularly in the context of preventing terrorism financing, and comparing them to international provisions, such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). It also explores the oversight practices in other countries to identify the best practices that Indonesia can adopt. The research addresses two key questions: (1) How do Indonesia’s supervision policies for charitable organisations prevent terrorism financing? (2) How do Indonesia’s supervision practices compare with international standards in preventing terrorism financing? This study uses a normative juridical approach, focusing on legislative and comparative methods. Primary legal sources include relevant laws and regulations, while secondary sources consist of literature reviews and prior studies. The research analyzes the phenomenon of charitable organisations being misused for terrorism financing and examines the ideal legal framework to prevent such misuse. FATF recommendations on Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs) serve as a benchmark for this analysis. The comparative aspect of this study provides insight into how other countries manage charitable organisations to mitigate the risk of terrorism financing. Insights from countries like the United Kingdom and United States highlight the importance of targeted outreach, mandatory audits, and advanced risk-based policies. Ultimately, this research proposes to integrate these practices into Indonesia’s supervision policies to enhance effectiveness, being aligned with FATF standards, and preserve the integrity of the charitable sector

    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

    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

    No full text
    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

    Managing Crowdfunding Risks in Terrorism Financing: A Mediated Analysis of Government Intervention and Donation Intentions

    No full text
    Crowdfunding has emerged as a popular platform for collective funding of social, charitable, and commercial projects. However, its increasing use has raised concerns over potential misuse, including as a source of terrorism financing. This study investigates the relationship between donation intentions using crowdfunding and the risk of crowdfunding being used as a source of terrorism financing. Furthermore, it explores the mediating role of government intervention in this relationship. Using a Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) second-order approach, the research evaluates the interaction between donor intentions, crowdfunding risks, and government regulations. Findings reveal that while donor intentions significantly impact the risk of crowdfunding misuse for terrorism financing, the mediating role of government intervention is statistically insignificant. This suggests that regulatory measures alone may not sufficiently mitigate these risks. These findings highlight the critical need to reevaluate current strategies for preventing the misuse of crowdfunding for illicit purposes. By providing empirical evidence of the limited impact of government intervention, this study contributes valuable insights for policymakers aiming to strengthen oversight mechanisms and ensure safer crowdfunding practices in Indonesia
