What can Indonesian Businesses Learn from the We Mean Business Initiative to Address Climate Change?
Get PDFClimate change has been a much-discussed topic around the globe, and all stakeholders, including the business sector, must take collective and serious actions. The We Mean Business (WMB) initiative is a non-profit organisation that supports companies to develop policies and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy and achieve sustainable business. On the other hand, Indonesia, as one of the world biggest emitters and signed the Paris Agreement, are also required to meet its climate pledge. Unfortunately, not many Indonesian businesses have shown their contribution to climate change. This study aims to analyse the companies’ commitments under the WMB coalition and evaluates the progress, risks, and opportunities they have faced when fulfilling these task. Concerning the existing condition of the Indonesian business sector, this study is expected to provide lessons learnt from companies around the world joining the WMB coalition. For analysis, a qualitative method through desk research was employed in which any documents related to the report of companies’ commitment to climate change were thoroughly interpreted. Thirty-eight companies joining the WMB from eleven sectors were selected as the sample. The results show that the science-based target initiative (SBTi) is the most popular, while sustainable fuels are a less preferable commitment among the firms. Besides, most companies have shown considerable progress in achieving their duty towards climate change. These results can be lessons learnt for Indonesian businesses to implement the same initiatives to contribute to emissions reductions so that Indonesia can meet its climate pledge within the specified time
Model Percepatan Adopsi Teknologi Digital Industri Makanan Minuman Berbasis Potensi Lokal Menuju Industri 4.0 Untuk Mendukung Ketahanan Pangan Nasional
Get PDFKetahanan pangan ditopang dari hasil produksi nasional (segar maupun olahan) dan produk impor untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pangan nasional. Realitasnya produk pertanian lebih banyak dijual dalam bentuk segar akibat lemahnya proses manufaktur yang dipengaruhi jumlah industri pengolahan, investasi yang besar, keinginan untuk segera mendapatkan hasil, dan lemahnya adopsi teknologi. Sementara pemanfaatan hasil pangan sebagai input industri didominasi usaha besar (UB) dibandingkan usaha mikro kecil menengah (UMKM). Produktivitas UMKM yang rendah akibat penguasaan teknologi yang lemah ditengarai penyebab utama backward linkage ke sektor pertanian cenderung lemah dibandingkan UB. Usaha mikro kecil menengah (UMKM) sektor makanan minuman, lebih banyak mengadopsi teknologi digital dalam bentuk e-commerce dan pemasaran produk. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendorong transformasi digital pada UMKM pengolahan makanan minuman (mamin) berbasis sumber daya lokal (pertanian) melalui pendekatan kelembagaan yang mensinergikan element research, innovation, learning, financing, dan marketing. Melalui pendekatan pentahelix, penelitian ini menghasilkan model kolaborasi antar pemangku kepentingan yang mewujudkan ekosistem adopsi teknologi dan framework adopsi teknologi digital yang dapat meningkatkan produktivitas UMKM makanan minuman yang mendukung pada ketahanan pangan nasional. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan industri 4.0 berpotensi diwujudkan pada UMKM dengan tingkat kesiapan digital level 4 yang diikuti dengan pendampingan dari komunitas UMKM
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
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
