Human Rights versus Humanitarian Aid – and Compromises: The Case of MN Missionaries during the Armenian Genocide
Get PDFThis project investigates the role of MN missionaries, who alerted the world to grave human rights violations against Armenians in the Ottoman Empire while simultaneously providing humanitarian aid. Substantial and underexplored materials in the Minnesota History archives were used to study ways in which these two tasks may conflict but also forge an alliance, for the time of the Armenian genocide.This research was supported by the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP).Bhatnagar, Prashasti.

All Care is Health Care: How Healthcare-Legal Partnerships Are Challenging the Biomedical Paradigm
No full textThis project comprehensively examines how healthcare-legal partnerships (HLPs) are challenging the biomedical paradigm. I explore this in clinics through rich semi-structured interviews with HLP advocates (social workers, healthcare administrators, nurses, lawyers, and physicians) and focus groups with patients. In this paper, I will highlight the ways in which on-site legal services in clinics help in breaking down barriers that limit access to care and thus reduce anxiety and stress in patients. I will also argue that while helpful, HLPs continue to operate under a neoliberal biomedical model-based health care system and hence, do not provide a comprehensive solution to the complex health needs of patients. Health issues are not just legal issues; they are social issues that need to be addressed using a structural care approach.Bhatnagar, Prashasti. (2018).

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
Pengolahan Air Limbah Batik Dengan Reaktor Yang Berisi Tanaman Eceng Gondok
Get PDFDhai Prashasti Ully Agnhi, Koosdaryani Soeryodarundio, 2017. Pengolahan Air Limbah Batik dengan Reaktor yang Berisi Tanaman Eceng Gondok. Tugas Akhir Program Studi Diploma III Teknik Sipil, Fakultas Teknik Universitas Sebelas Maret Surakarta. Pada umumnya salah satu penyebab terjadinya pencemaran adalah banyaknya air limbah yang dibuang tanpa mengalami pengolahan atau sudah mengalami pengolahan tetapi belum memenuhi persyaratan. Dimungkinkan karena keengganan dalam mengolah air limbah, disamping itu juga belum tersedianya teknologi pengolah air limbah yang mudah dan efisien.. Kota Surakarta merupakan kota batik, sehingga banyak ditemukan penyumbang limbah batik terbanyak. Penggunaan zat warna tekstil dalam industri batik banyak menggunakan bahan pewarna kimia daripada alami. Air cucian yang dihasilkan industri batik ini menjadi berwarna sangat pekat dan tidak mudah diuraikan. Penelitian ini menggunakan eksperimental laboratorium dengan menggunakan metode perubahan warna dengan menggunakan bantuan perakaran eceng gondok yang mana perubahan warna tersebut dibantu dengan adanya cahaya sinar matahari sehingga bisa menghasilkan warna yang lebih jernih dari warna yang semula. Lokasi pengambilan sampel limbah yaitu home industry batik Hayuningrum, kelurahan Laweyan, kecamatan Laweyan, Surakarta. Dari hasil percobaan yang telah dilakukan melalui reaktor box yang berukuran 30 cm × 60 cm × 100 cm. Maka dapat diperoleh hasil dari grafik.tersebut Pada parameter warna berdasarkan APHA 2012, Section 2120-C tentang baku mutu air limbah maka berdasarkan nilai parameter warna tersebut tidak memiliki batasan kadar maksimum yang diperbolehkan sesuai baku mutu air limbah yang ada. Berdasarkan Peraturan Daerah Provinsi Jawa Tengah No 5 Tahun 2012 tentang baku mutu air limbah, maka berdasarkan nilai COD tersebut tidak memenuhi syarat baku mutu air limbah karena semua sampel memiliki hasil yang melebihi kadar maksimum yang diperbolehkan untuk parameter COD yaitu 150 mg/L. Nilai BOD tersebut tidak memenuhi syarat baku mutu air limbah karena semua sampel memiliki hasil yang melebihi kadar maksimum yang diperbolehkan untuk parameter BOD yaitu 60 mg/L. Nilai pH tersebut memenuhi syarat sebagai baku mutu air limbah karena semua sampel tersebut memiliki hasil yang tidak melebihi kadar maksimum yang diperbolehkan untuk parameter pH yaitu 6,0 – 9,0. Nilai DHL tersebut memenuhu syarat sebagai baku mutu air limbah memiliki hasil yang kadar maksimum yang diperbolehkan untuk parameter DHL yaitu 20 – 1500 μmhos/cm. Nilai TSS tersebut tidak memenuhi syarat baku mutu air limbah karena semua sampel memiliki hasil yang kadar maksimum yang diperbolehkan untuk parameter TSS yaitu 50 mg/L. Nilai TDS tersebut memenuhi syarat baku mutu air limbah memiliki hasil kadar maksimum yang diperbolehkan untuk parameter TDS yaitu 2000 mg/L Kata kunci : air limbah, gradasi warna, eceng gondok, reaktor bo
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
