MAPPING ACTORS IN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY PRACTICES IN SEMARANG
No full textAbstract This research delves into the implementation of a circular economy in Semarang City, responding to thechallenges of waste management and its environmental impacts. Employing a methodology combiningliterature review and stakeholder interviews, the study analyzes the principles of a circular economy andthe pivotal roles of key actors in its practical application. The theoretical foundation rests upon the conceptsof a circular economy, waste management, and sustainability. The findings indicate progress inimplementation, particularly through the establishment of waste banks and waste management programsinvolving households. The significant roles of the City Government, Mulung Parahita, and the IndonesianNational Army (TNI) are acknowledged, though challenges such as coordination and public awarenessneed to be addressed. The contribution lies in a profound understanding of the circular economy inSemarang City and the identification of key roles and actors. The policy recommendations generated canguide the efforts of the City Government and relevant stakeholders to reinforce circular economy practices,promoting more sustainable resource management at the local level.

EFEK CORONA VIRUS DISEASE -19 TERHADAP REALISASI CHINA-PAKISTAN ECONOMIC CORRIDOR (CPEC)
Get PDFABSTRAKChina-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) merupakan salah satu cabang utama Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)—sebuah upaya menghidupkan kembali Jalur Sutera kuno yang merupakan cultural heritage penting di Asia Selatan. Bila CPEC sukses terealisasi maka revolusi geoekonomi merombak Asia Selatan. Namun demikian CPEC bukan tanpa kendala, Covid-19 menjadi salah satu tantangan serius bagi proyek multi dolar ini. Tiongkok telah suskses menekan angka pandemic namun Pakistan justeru berada dalam perjuangan berat. Menggunakan metode analisa data dan studi literature, penulis berargumen bahwa realisasi CPEC terganggu setidaknya hingga Pakistan pulih dari pandemic. Namun Tiongkok tidak akan membiarkan begitu saja Pakistan di dalam kesulitan. Investasi Tiongkok di Pakistan sudah sedemikian besar, sementara bila Pakistan tidak segera pulih dari krisis, sudah barang tentu proyek multidolar tersebut terkendala. Situasi ini yang membuat dua negara bekerjakeras untuk menyelesaikan problem pandemic di jalur CPEC. Argumentasi ini melengkapi argumentasi lain terkait topic terkait.Kata kunci: CPEC, BRI, Covid-19, Ekonom
TERRORISME DAN INVESTASI TIONGKOK DI FILIPINA: IMPLIKASINYA TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN DAN PENGUATAN LAYANAN KEAMANAN
Get PDFPenelitian ini mengkaji faktor di balik meningkatnya belanja militer dan ekonomi Filipina. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan peningkatan serangan terrorist di sisi selatan Filipina dan lonjakan hubungan ekonomi dengan Tiongkok menjadi konteks penting. Seperti negara berkembang lainnya, Filipina berfokus pada pembangunan infrastruktur sebagai landasan bagi aktivitas ekonominya. Kebutuhan tersebut bersinergi dengan kepentingan Tiongkok untuk berinvestasi. Hal itu memicu pertumbuhan ekonomi nasional di Filipina. Sayangnya, problem keamanan di sisi selatan menjadi tantangan serius bagi masa depan perekonomian. Situasi kontradiksi itu (pertumbuhan dan krisis keamanan) mendorong pemerintah meningkatkan anggaran militer. Pertumbuhan ekonomi sebagai akibat meningkatnya investasi asing menjadi konteks yang berkontribusi bagi peningkatan layanan keamanan tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitaif dengan teknik analisa data dan literature. Ada dua pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini, yaitu keamanan dan pertumbuhan. Dalam konteks ini, pendekatan pertumbuhan menjelaskan bagaimana peningkatan interaksi ekonomi dengan Tiongkok mendorong dinamika ekonomi nasional Filipina. Sementara pendekatan keamanan menjelaskan bagaimana stabilitas keamanan menjadi kebutuhan keberlangsungan pertumbuhan. Argumen penelitian ini menentang temuan umum penelitian sebelumnya bahwa di negara berkembang pertumbuhan militer dan ekonomi berkorelasi negative, kasus Filipina menunjukkan sebaliknya.

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
