    The Effect of Citrus Farming Practices on Huanglongbing (HLB) Disease Severity in Sambas, West Kalimantan

    Beberapa praktik budidaya dilaporkan mempengaruhi kesesuaian agroekosistem bagi perkembangan penyakit tanaman. Namun demikian, praktik-praktik budidaya jeruk yang mempengaruhi perkembangan penyakit huanglongbing (HLB) dan serangga vektornya yaitu kutu loncat jeruk (KLJ) Diaphorina citri belum banyak diketahui. Penelitian ini mempelajari pengaruh praktik budidaya jeruk terhadap intensitas penyakit HLB melalui survei singkat selama dua minggu pada 37 kebun jeruk yang berlokasi di Kabupaten Sambas. Parameter pengamatan adalah intensitas serangan penyakit HLB, kelimpahan KLJ, dan praktik budidaya yang diterapkan. Pengaruh praktik budidaya terhadap intensitas serangan penyakit HLB dianalisis melalui structural equation modeling berbasis partial least squares (SEM-PLS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tingkat penggunaan pestisida, kualitas saluran drainase, dan kepadatan tanaman jeruk berpengaruh positif terhadap intensitas serangan penyakit HLB, sedangkan tingkat keanekaragaman vegetasi dan pemberian pupuk kimia berpengaruh negatif terhadap intensitas serangan penyakit HLB. Pengendalian gulma, kualitas tanah, dan pemangkasan pemeliharaan tidak mempengaruhi intensitas HLB. Oleh karena itu, penanaman jeruk sebaiknya menerapkan sistem polikultur, menggunakan beragam varietas, dan jarak tanam tidak terlalu rapat. Pemberian hara yang dapat meningkatkan ketahanan tanaman jeruk terhadap serangan KLJ hendaknya ditingkatkan. Pengendalian hama dan penyakit tanaman disarankan dilakukan secara terpadu sehingga insektisida hanya digunakan ketika populasi hama mencapai ambang ekonomi. Kata kunci: huanglongbing, jeruk, kutu loncat jeruk, praktik budidayaSeveral farming practices have been reported to influence the agroecosystem suitability for the development of plant diseases. However, the effect of citrus farming practices on the development of huanglongbing (HLB) disease and its vector insect, namely Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) Diaphorina citri is not widely known. This research studied the effect of citrus farming practices on HLB disease severity through a two-week short survey at 37 citrus groves in Sambas Regency. Observation parameters were HLB disease severity, the abundance of ACP, and the applied farming practices. The effect of farming practices on HLB disease severity was analyzed through structural equation modeling based on partial least squares (SEM-PLS). The results showed that the level of pesticide application, quality of drainage ditches, and density of citrus plants had a positive effect on HLB disease severity, while the level of vegetation diversity and level of application of chemical fertilizers had a negative effect on HLB disease severity. Weed control, soil quality, and pruning did not affect HLB disease severity. Therefore, citrus planting should apply a polyculture system, using various varieties, and the spacing is not too tight. The provision of nutrients that can increase citrus resistance to ACP infestation should be increased. Plant pest and disease control are suggested carried out in an integrated manner so that insecticides are only used when the pest population reaches an economic threshold.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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 link
    We 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
