Aplikasi Teknologi Kelestarian (HYBRID) Pada Pengangkutan Awam (BAS) DI Bandar Satu Pendekatan Diskriptif
No full textPerubahan iklim cuaca dunia yang disebabkan oleh pencemaran alam sekitar telah
memberikan impak kepada dunia pengangkutan termasuklah pengangkutan awam.
Pengangkutan awam yang menjadi nadi pengangkutan terutamanya di kawasan bandar kini
diberikan fokus kerana menjadi salah satu penyumbang kepada pembebasan gas Karbon
Monoksida. Oleh yang demikian wujud tekanan supaya kenderaan awam untuk menggunakan
kenderaan yang berteknologi hijau sama ada Hybrid, elektrik dan juga gas. Penggunaan
kenderaan awam yang berteknologi hijau masih lagi pada peringkat yang baru dan tahap
penerimaan pengguna masih lagi berada pada tahap yang sederhana. Oleh yang demikian,
kajian ini dijalankan adalah bertujuan untuk melihat tahap kesedaran pengguna mengenai
kenderaan awam yang berteknologi hijau dan juga melihat tahap penerimaan oleh
penggunaan. Selain daripada itu, kajian ini juga akan melihat factor-faktor yang
menyumbang kepada penerimaan pengguna untuk menggunakan kenderaan awam yang
menggunakan teknologi hijau serta melihat kos dan faedah terhadap pengguna. Kajian ini
menggunakan kaedah kualitatif di mana data diperoleh daripada soalan kaji selidik yang
telah disediakan. Hasil dapatan menunjukkan tahap kesedaran pengguna mengenai
kenderaan berteknologi hijau adalah sangat baik namun begitu terdapat kadar pemilikan
kenderaan berteknologi hijau masih lagi berada pada tahap yang rendah. Kos juga dilihat
menjadi salah satu faktor yang penting kerana kebanyakan responden masih lagi
menganggap kos untuk menggunakan kenderaan awam masih lagi berada pada tahap yang
agak tinggi dan mereka menjangkakan kenaikan kos akan lebih meningkat jika pengusaha
menggunakan kenderaan yang menggunakan teknologi hijau. Batasan utama kajian ini
adalah kawasan kajian yang tidak menyeluruh kerana kajian ini hanya tertumpu hanya di
beberapa bandar utama sahaja di Malaysia. Penyelidikan akan datang perlu menggunakan
jumlah responden yang lebih besar dan juga kawasan kajian yang lebih meluas bagi
meningkatkan tahap generalisasi hasil penyelidika
Multi criteria decision making: a case of locating low cost carrier terminal (air) in Malaysia
No full textDecision making is an important rule to an individual or a group within an
organization. However, decision making can sometime take a long time to be
realized. The objective of this paper is to investigate if a different approach that
is the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model is applicable in facilitating
decision making, particularly for decision makers who were faced with multiple
criteria problems. In this paper, a group of decision makers (judgement
sampling were used) were tasked to determine the location for the operation of
low-cost carrier comprising sites of which include the KLIA, Subang Airport and
the Low-Cost Terminal. The AHP was used as a decision making approach to
observe if it is applicable in addressing the multiple criteria decision making
problems. The criteria that are taken into consideration in this study include the
benefit and cost of each selected location in terms of economy, social and
environment. The AHP allows decision to be constructed as hierarchies and
each criterion can be assigned to a preference scale that is determined by the
decision makers. The findings indicate that the approach facilitates decision
making in a shorter period of time. In general, based upon the preference scale
assigned by decision-makers to the identified criteria the Low-Cost Terminal is
highly preferable with an economic ratio benefit of 0.447 and social ratio
benefit of 0.437. However, in terms of environmental benefits with a ratio of
0.508, the KLIA was preferred by the decision makers over Subang Airport and
the Low-Cost Terminal. Overall, the Low-Cost Terminal is highly preferred
with a ratio of 0.719, 0.488 and 0.454 for each criterion
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
The improvement of taxi service in Kuantan / Nizamuddin Zainuddin
Get PDFCommercial Vehicles Licensing Board plays a vital role in issuing taxi permit and Road Transport Department is responsible to surper- vise and control the taxi operation in order to ensure that satis factory level of taxi service is being served. Although different sort of regulations enforced and many methods of controlled have been implemented people still break the rules and making offences. Problems faced by taxi users in Kuantan are varried from problems faced by taxi users in Kuala Lumpur. This is due to the different demographic background and economic growth. In Kuala Lumpur demand for taxi service is surplus. Surplus to the extent that taxi drivers refuse to take any passengers. Taxi drivers didn't afraid to lose their passengers because they know there will always be other users to use their service
