SISTEM REKOMENDASI DESTINASI WISATA DI KOTA KUPANG DENGAN METODE WEIGHTED PRODUCT
No full textFrom 2006 to the latest data collection in 2017, the number of domestic and foreign tourists visiting East Nusa Tenggara is increasing. In Kupang city as the provincial capital of East Nusa Tenggara. Kupang City is not just a temporary stop when tourists want to transit to other islands in East Nusa Tenggara but have become tourist destinations. The increasing number of tourist visits is not accompanied by a system of recommendations about tourist destinations in the city of Kupang, In this study a recommendation system was built in Kupang City using the weighted product method, which is one of the techniques of Multiple Alternative Decision Making. Weighted products use multiplication to connect attribute ratings. The criteria used in this study are 3 criteria, namely costs, facilities provided and reviews from previous visitors. While for locations or tourist destinations there are 55 tourist destinations in Kupang City which are the alternatives in this study. From the results of the study, for natural attractions, Namosain Beach ranked first to be visited with a value of 0.00519. As for artificial tourism objects, Nostalgia Park is the first place with a value of 0.0805. As for culinary tourism, Nostalgia Park culinary ranks first at 0.0904
Modelling user acceptance of personalised learning apps in high schools using the SEM approach
Full text linkThis research addresses the urgent need to understand user acceptance of personalised mobile learning applications in higher education, especially as digital learning becomes increasingly essential in post-pandemic education. The study employs a quantitative research design, utilising the Technology Acceptance Model 3 (TAM3) as the theoretical framework and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) for analysis. The population comprises undergraduate students from various departments at STIKOM Uyelindo Kupang, selected using stratified random sampling to ensure representation across faculties. Data was collected through a validated questionnaire based on TAM3 constructs, and the instrument's validity and reliability were confirmed using Cronbach's Alpha, Composite Reliability (CR), and Average Variance Extracted (AVE). The results show that Perceived Usefulness (PU) and Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) significantly influence Behavioural Intention (BI), while Social Influence (SI) and Facilitating Conditions (FC) also play important roles. Perceived Enjoyment (PE) enhances engagement, and Computer Anxiety negatively affects ease of use. The study concludes that TAM3 effectively models user acceptance in this context. Recommendations include improving app usability, providing institutional support, and designing engaging learning experiences to enhance the adoption and continued use of mobile learning technologies
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
