The Relationship between Industrial Clustering and Operational Performance within Indonesian Manufacturing SMEs
Full text linkThe main objective of the research is concerned with investigating the relationship between industrial clustering and operational performance constructs. This research treats both industrial clustering on operational performance as multidimensional constructs. Industrial clustering consists of four dimensions and operational performance encompasses three dimensions. Two different goals were pursued, namely examining the multidimensional and individual relationship between the two constructs. The data used in the analysis were perceptual measures that were derived from a cross sectional survey using a single respondent design. The sample used is limited to 112 manufacturing SMEs located in Cikarang Industrial Cluster, West Java Province of Indonesia. This research applied a Structural Equation Modeling and Multiple Regression Analysis in relation to the developed hypotheses testing. As has been hypothesized in this research, industrial clustering was found to have a positive effect on operational performance of manufacturing SMEs. The results also confirmed that the local network, the presence of related industries, the government support, and the local advantage contributed positively, but not equally to the operational performance of manufacturing SMEs Keywords: industrial clustering, operational performance, manufacturing SME
Mangrove Cover in Jakarta: An Output of GNRM Program on Strengthening Lecturers and Students Awareness to the Sustainability of Jakarta Coastal Environment
Full text linkJakarta is very vulnerable to erosion and tidal flooding. Mangrove forest on the Jakarta coastal has a very important role because it can reduces the damage caused by seawater tidal flooding and erosion. However, the existence of mangrove forests is threatened by various natural factors, human activities and a combination of both. Given the important role of mangroves for the city, data and information on temporal changes in the distribution of mangrove cover in this area need to be monitored annually to evaluate changes in cover holistically. Therefore, this study was conducted to detect changes in the spatial and temporal distribution of mangroves on the Jakarta coastal. Landsat 7 ETM satellite image data from 2014 to 2018 were analyzed using medium resolution combined with visual interpretation and literature review to detect changes in mangrove areas. Mangrove forest cover was estimated at 111.58 hectares in 2014 and decreased to 103.84 hectares in 2018. That means Jakarta has lost 7.74 hectares over 4 years. This review article will also discuss the main factors that influence, changes in area, the impact of Jakarta Bay reclamation on North Jakarta's mangroves. Keywords: GNRM program, mangrove cover, Jakarta coast DOI: 10.7176/JESD/12-18-06 Publication date:September 30th 2021
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
