Development Of A Guided Inquiry-Based Flipped Classroom Learning System On Thermochemical Material
No full textDue to the Covid-19 pandemic, learning activities are carried out online or online. In addition, the 2013 curriculum demands learner-centered learning. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research that aims to develop alearning system flipped classroom guided inquiry-basedon Thermochemistry material and test the validity and practicality of the resulting learning system. The type of research is Research and Development (R&D) with the Plomp model stages, namely: (1) preliminary research, (2) development or prototyping phase, and (3) assessment phase (not carried out). The research data from the validation questionnaire were analyzed using theformula Aiken's V, while the practicality questionnaire data was analyzed by percentage. Based on the results of the study, the learning system developed was valid with an average value of 0.87 while the average value of media validity was 0.87 and the learning system was said to be very practical in its use with an average value of 88% from educators and students is 87%. From the tests that have been carried out, this learning system can be used as an alternative to the implementation of online learning
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
The Evaluation of Microplastic Reduction in Biofloc Aquaculture for Sustainable Nile Tilapia Cultivation
Full text linkSustainable aquaculture requires environments free from microplastic contamination. However, microplastics are now commonly found in aquatic systems, including fish farms, where they can accumulate in organisms and enter the food chain. This study evaluates the effectiveness of biofloc technology in reducing microplastic levels in water and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), using ecological risk indices: Pollution Hazard Index (PHI), Pollution Load Index (PLI), and Potential Ecological Risk Index (PERI). The experiment lasted 50 days with four treatments, including polyethylene (PE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) exposure. Microplastic concentrations ranged from 0.12 to 0.33 particles/L, with highest accumulation in the fish esophagus (39.2 ± 6.87 particles/g). Identified polymers included PE, PVC, and PA. Risk indices showed PHI = 166.69, PLI = 1.01–1.66, and PERI = 21.49, indicating medium to high ecological risks. Results show that biofloc effectively reduces microplastic levels, making it a promising solution for sustainable aquaculture. The study highlights the need for better plastic waste management policies and stricter regulation of PVC and PET near farming areas
