Pascorp Paper Industries : a study on transportation and materials handling effectiveness / Ahmad Nilhakim Abdul Rahim
Get PDFWhen our country faced a trouble in economic started last year, many companies had been stopped their operation. Today, the company that still competed is the only strong company and their operation is based on local raw material. One of them that are still surviving is Pascorp Paper Industries Sdn. Bhd. ( PPI). PPI involves in paper making sector which their operation are based on 100 % recycle paper. In the manufacturing industrial sector, physical distribution played an important role in making close relation with the customers. So the researcher used this subject to done the research.
The researcher had seen several problems occur in both elements such as the lorry used is not suitable, canvas used by the lorry is too poor, ISO 9002 procedure not full followed by the staff and poor in material handling activities. Ineffective practices in both elements were created a major problem that is product damaged.
This research is organised in order to analyse whether the current transportation and material handling practising fulfil the ISO 9002 standard and customer requirement and proposed a solution. Beside that it also to see how far it will affect the customer buying decision.
In other to gather the data and information, the researcher had been choosing several methods such as observation, customer survey and interview. As a general, both elements had been practices successfully and effectively. However the researcher found that there are still ineffective practices in certain condition and these should be improved
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
Islam, Demokrasi Liberal Dan Sekularisme Oleh Nader Hashemi Dalam Kajian Hukum Islam Kontemporer
Get PDFIslam dan Politik demokrasi liberal sering menimbulkan perdebatan muncul sebagai isu yang paling dipertentangkan. Para ilmuan sosial yang meyakini bahwa politik keagamaan dan perkembangan demokrasi liberal secara struktur tidak sejalan (incompatible) ditantang oleh Nader Hashemi. Menurutnya ketegangan antara agama dan demokrasi liberal yang serius bukan berarti bahwa keduanya tidak mungkin untuk didamaikan. Penelitian ini akan meneliti bagaimana konsep Nader Hashemi tentang relasi Islam, Demokrasi Liberal dan Sekularisme? Dan bagaimana hasil konsep teoritis dan praktis relasi Islam, Demokrasi Liberal dan Sekularisme?. Reinterpretasi yang terkait teori relasi agama dengan demokrasi, bahwa teori sekularisme bagi muslim bukan hanya mungkin dilakukan, tetapi sangat sekali dibutuhkan untuk membangun demokrasi yang liberal. Dengan catatan paham sekulerisme tidak hanya menganggap pemerintahan sebatas untuk kepentingan dunia semata. Memang tidak ada konsep Islam yang baku, jika melihat kembali sejarah perkembangan kekuasaan Negara, yaitu sistem demokrasi berasal dari Yunani berawal dari sini, kemudian Islam datang pada masa Nabi Muhammad Saw “Negara Madinah” yang hingga kini menjadi rujukan paling sahih bagi perjuangan politik umat Islam. Ternyata belum cukup memenuhi kriterium bagi sebutan berdirinya sebuah Negara. Kemudian diteruskan masa Khulafa ar-Rasyidun, selanjutnya kekuasaan monarki. Di perkembangan selanjutnya beralih pada kekuasaan Barat (Kristen) dan menyebarkankan paham demokrasinya dengan kolonialisme. Dan terasa pada masyarakat muslim hingga sekarang, sehingga menimbulkan bias pertentangan terhadap sistem demokrasi. Hasil dari produk pemikiran Nader Hashemi (metode historis dan komparatif) yaitu: pertama, agama berperan dalam kehidupan politik; ada gerakan-gerakan protes religious dan demokrasi jangka panjang. Kedua, toleransi timbal balik agama terhadap demokrasi; negara tidak bisa melarang kelompok-kelompok keagamaan dari kegiatan politik hanya karena mereka bersifat keagamaan. Ketiga, pembaharuan keagamaan mendorong demokrasi; pergeseran terhadap dokrin agama dapat memberikan kontribusi terhadap pembangunan politi
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

The results showed that, the prohibition of marrying a woman who is still a family relationship, the textual text of the original law is that it is permissible to marry her
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
