Ritual Mantunu Tedong dalam Pusaran Ideologi Adat, Agama dan Kapitalisme
Full text linkMantunu tedong yang dilakukan oleh orang Toraja pada masa kini dibentuk oleh berbagai macam elemen-elemen sosial yang sangat terkait dengan situasi eksistensial orang Toraja. Dari penelitian, ditemukan bahwa mantunu tedong merupakan ritual yang dipergelarkan dalam konteks adat, agama dan situasi ekonomi global mutakhir. Fokus kajian dalam penelitian ini adalah tentang ideologi-ritual dengan menggunakan konsep-konsep ideologi Althusser. Kritik ideologi Althusser dipilih peneliti karena dapat membantu untuk menguraikan dua pokok pembahasan: ideologi-ideologi yang membentuk tradisi mantunu tedong kontemporer dan cara orang Toraja memaknai tradisi tersebut. Dalam penelitian ini, peneliti berangkat dari dua pertanyaan mendasar, yaitu (1) ideologi macam apa yang membentuk tradisi mantunu tedong dalam ritual pemakaman orang Toraja kontemporer? dan (2) bagaimana orang Toraja pada masa kini memaknai tradisi mantunu tedong
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
BATE MANURUN SEBAGAI MEDIUM TEOLOGI KONTEKSTUAL
No full textPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi bate manurun dalam konteks budaya Toraja sebagai medium teologi kontekstual dengan pendekatan antropologis. Dalam tradisi Toraja, bate manurun bukan hanya berfungsi sebagai artefak budaya melainkan juga memiliki muatan simbolik dan spiritual yang mendalam. Simbol ini mengandung ekspresi religiusitas yang sangat mendalam mencakup kesadaran akan kesakralan, relasi yang kuat dengan para leluhur, serta harapan akan kehidupan yang kekal. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan model antropologis dari Stephen Bevans, penelitian ini melihat bagaimana makna bate dapat ditransformasikan dalam pemahaman iman Kristen di Toraja. Data dikumpulkan melalui studi literatur, observasi, dan wawancara dengan tokoh adat dan pemuka gereja. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa simbol ini memungkinkan terjadinya dialog yang hidup antara iman dan budaya, di mana kekristenan dapat mengakar dalam konteks lokal tanpa kehilangan universalitasnya. Dengan mengadopsi pendekatan kontekstual, gereja mampu memberdayakan simbol-simbol lokal sebagai bagian dari pewartaan Injil yang relevan dan transformatif.

This study aims to explore bate manurun within the cultural context of the Toraja people as a medium for contextual theology through an anthropological approach. In Torajan tradition, bate manurun functions not merely as a cultural artifact but also carries deep symbolic and spiritual significance. This symbol expresses profound religiosity, encompassing a sense of sacredness, strong relational ties with ancestors, and the hope of eternal life. By employing Stephen Bevans’ anthropological model of contextual theology, this research examines how the meaning of bate can be transformed within the framework of Christian faith in Toraja. Data were collected through literature review, field observation, and interviews with traditional leaders and church figures. The analysis reveals that this symbol facilitates a dynamic dialogue between faith and culture, enabling Christianity to take root in the local context without losing its universality. By adopting a contextual approach, the church is empowered to integrate local symbols as part of a gospel proclamation that is both relevant and transformative.

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
