    Integration of Circular Economy Approaches and Community Participation in Waste Management Based on Campus-Village Partnerships

    No full text
    Urbanization and rapid population growth in Yogyakarta have significantly increased waste production, ultimately exacerbating the environmental crisis due to the failure of conventional disposal-based management systems. This study explores a circular economy approach in waste management based on a campus-village partnership by highlighting the collaboration between Gadjah Mada University and Sinduadi Village. Using a qualitative approach, this research analyzes the dynamics of waste management, the challenges of policy implementation, and the role of the community in realizing a more sustainable system. The research findings indicate that the implementation of a circular economy in waste management faces challenges such as limited infrastructure, minimal community participation, and lack of coordination among stakeholders. However, with the integration of the ReSOLVE concept and the Quadruple Helix approach, collaboration between academics, government, industry, and society can drive innovation in waste management, resource optimization, and environmental awareness. Campus-village partnerships play a strategic role in building circular-based business models that not only address waste issues but also create local economic opportunities. This research emphasizes the importance of synergy between regulatory policies, monetary incentives, and technological innovations in strengthening the circular economy ecosystem. The implications of this study highlight that the success of transforming the waste management system depends on the sustainability of cross-sector collaboration and active community participation in holistically applying circular economy principles.

    Village governments is a vital autonomous institutions based on Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages. Sriharjo village is one example of local democracy with its first female village head. During the leadership of the Sriharjo village head, there were obstacles and challenges, particularly in the political dynamics of Sriharjo village. The aim of this research is to analyze women's leadership in the implementation of village government policies in line with the political dynamics in Kalurahan Sriharjo.

Essentially, the village head is not solely focused on power to manage the government; the most important aspect is the elaboration for sustainable development. Efforts to improve Sriharjo require a long process and the involvement of various parties, including supra-village levels

    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

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    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
