ANALISIS USAHA PENJAHITAN PAKAIAN “NITHA TAYLOR” DI DESA HUNTU BARAT KECAMATAN BULANGO SELATAN KABUPATEN BONE BOLANGO
Full text linkThis study aims to determine the management of Nitha Taylor's clothing sewing business in West Huntu Village, South Bulango District, Bone Bolango Regency. This research uses a qualitative approach with interview research instruments. Data sources are obtained directly in the field by interviewing established informants. The results showed that the management of Nitha Taylor's clothing tailoring service business was able to develop from a small and simple business to a growing business with a profit turnover of up to Rp.24,000,000 perk. This achievement is obtained using an approach to quality, service and trust in consumers
Miss Nitha Metz portrait
No full textThis portrait that appears to be identified on the negative as Miss Nitha Metz of Big Springs, West Virginia, was taken by traveling photographer Albert J. Ewing, ca. 1896-1912. She is seated before a hanging backdrop over an illegible sign, with a small child leaning into her lap. Like most of Ewing's work, it was taken in the region of southeastern Ohio and central West Virginia.
Born in 1870 in Washington County, Ohio, near Marietta, Ewing most likely began his photography career in the 1890s. The 1910 US Census and a 1912-1913 directory list him as a photographer. A negative signed "Ewing Brothers" and a picture with his younger brother, Frank, indicate that Frank may have joined the business. After 1916, directories list Albert as a salesman. He died in 1934. The Ewing Collection consists of 5,055 glass plate negatives, each individually housed and numbered. Additionally, the collection includes approximately 450 modern contact prints made from the glass plate negatives. Subjects include infants and young children, elderly people, families, school and religious groups, animals and rural scenes. In 1982, the Ohio Historical Society (now the Ohio History Connection) received the collection, still housed in the original dry plate negative boxes purchased by Ewing. A selection of the original glass plate negatives were exhibited for the first time in 2013 at the Ohio History Center
Personalized Human-Robot Interaction with a Robot Bartender
No full textThe ability to personalize behaviors is essential for a robot to develop and maintain a long-lasting bond with a user in human-oriented applications, such as a service domain. Service robots must be capable of deducing what actions would be most desirable and best serve the needs and requirements of any interacting users. However, the personalization of a service robot in real-world human-robot interaction (HRI) requires the development of sophisticated mechanisms for identifying differences within the focused group of users, creating a relative user model representation, and finally, devising the varieties of the robot's behaviors. In this work, we briefly present the multiple methodologies developed for an autonomous bartender robot to personalize its behaviors upon the customers' moods, attention behaviors, purchasing preferences, personal preferences for interaction, and previous interaction strategies. We expect that the robot would need to serve and interact with multiple customers at the time, as it usually happens in human bartending scenarios. For this reason, our robot has been endowed with the ability to engage multiple users by alternating its attention between them, and personalizing enjoyable interactions through small talk (e.g., welcoming and conversing about topics of general interest related to recent news)
Generating Emotional Gestures for Handling Social Failures in HRI
No full textAs people are getting more used to interact with social robots, their expectations of these robots also increase. However, robots are not always able to meet such expectations due to the limitations of the hardware and the software, or it might be possible that robots are simply unable to correctly elaborate the information about the agents, environment and context, and as consequence they produce erroneous behaviours. For example, a robot might get incongruous responses of people from the observations of multimodal systems. In such case, a technique used by humans is verbal irony, or sarcasm which it is a form of verbal irony, to recover from the situation. To this extent, we present a two parts study where we aimed to endow a robot with sarcasm. Results showed that social interacting behaviours, such as paying attention during a conversation, being transparent on the process of thinking and elaborating a response, allow people's to perceive a robot with higher anthropomorphism and animacy. Moreover, robot failure recovery mechanisms are easier recognised by people when they use verbal incongruence
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
