BaBaLU: A Bawal Bastos Law among University Stakeholders Leading Towards Safe Spaces Using K-Means Clustering Algorithm
No full textCreating a secure and inclusive academic setting has become a necessity in an era shaped by rapid technological innovations and shifting standards of society, particularly among students. This study developed a web and mobile application to enhance safety at Cavite State University - Main for all university stakeholders, aligned with the broader mission of higher education institutions (HEIs) and in fostering individual well-being and strengthens university’s integrity and inclusivity, in accordance with Republic Act No. 11313, the Safe Spaces Act, or the Bawal Bastos Law. The web application allows stakeholders to anonymously report gender-based sexual harassment, while the mobile application enhances user safety by providing real-time hotspot data and recommending safer alternative routes. Using the K-Means clustering algorithm, the system analyzes incident data by location, date, and time to accurately identify hotspots, provides safer paths, and describe safety levels for specific areas, thereby improving safety outcomes. The application received a “Strongly Agree” rating in a modified ISO/IEC 25010 Software Product Quality evaluation, indicating full satisfaction with its performance among respondents. The evaluation results were tabulated and statistically processed using mean and standard deviation to ensure objective assessment of software quality characteristics. The feedback and results indicate that Gender and Development-Resource Center\u27s needs are being effectively met, demonstrating its dedication to establishing a safer and more responsive academic environment
Me-Connect: An SMS Alert System for Online Pest Control Services
No full textMAPECON Cavite Highlands provides environmentally friendly pest control solutions, necessitating the development of an integrated system to serve as a notification alert to customers and service technicians. MAPECON employees and management face challenges as the company\u27s customer base expands, resulting in dissatisfaction with customer service. This newly developed system alters the way MAPECON handles services provided, reducing human error and improving its current servicing system. This servicing system has the following features: (1) a system that reduces the service staff\u27s workload in monitoring the customer\u27s quarterly maintenance; (2) an online scheduling system that allows the administrator to view the Technicians\u27 daily service at a given point in time; (3) a system that sends alert messages to Technicians regarding the assigned services; (4) an online system that uses SMS technology to shorten the process of scheduling services for Service Technicians; and (5) a system that uses SMS technology to alert Technicians for required service in the future. The descriptive method of research was used in this study, which was created with PHP as its platform and MySQL for its database, while the Fourth Generation Technique software model was used due to its flexibility. Me-Connect, also known as MAPECON\u27s E-Connect, sends real-time transactions to the appropriate personnel, which is critical for providing good service. Using ISO/IEC 9126 software product quality standards, the system received an average rating of 4.53 from respondents, indicating that it served its functions properly and met all of the required requirements
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
