    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    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

    TCC(graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro Tecnológico. Engenharia Sanitária e Ambiental.Paralelamente ao aumento da consciência ambiental, a demanda por maior responsabilidade ecológica e ambiental está fazendo as empresas remodelarem suas estratégias de negócios. O presente trabalho utilizou os fundamentos do modelo de Produção Mais Limpa para realizar a análise do Plástico Reforçado com Fibra de Vidro (PRFV) dentro do processo produtivo de uma empresa visando encontrar pontos nos quais se mostre viável a redução do consumo da matéria-prima e/ou da geração de resíduos. As mudanças propostas, relativas ao aperfeiçoamento de equipamentos do processo, foram avaliadas para comprovar sua viabilidade técnica, financeira, ambiental e econômica, e após, foi estimada a melhora da eficiência ambiental e econômica gerada pelas mesmas. Através de melhorias realizadas no sistema de fabricação do tubo reto, reduziu-se o consumo de matéria prima e a geração de resíduos, trazendo benefícios ambientais e econômicos à empresa

    Introduction: The COVID-19 preventive and restriction measures may disrupt an individual’s daily diet quality, potentially leading to obesity and other non-communicable diseases. This study aims to assess and determine factors associated with diet quality during the COVID-19 pandemic among undergraduate students at Universiti Putra Malaysia. Methods: 130 eligible undergraduate students, who participated in this cross-sectional study were assessed using Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS-21), and Rapid Eating Assessment for Participants short version (REAP-S). Self-reported sociodemographic characteristics, body weight status, and nutrition knowledge were evaluated. Statistical analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS 26.0 and p<0.05 was denoted as statistically significant. Results: Most of the respondents were female (76.2%), aged between 20-22 years old (64.6%), Bumiputera (80.0%), funded by loan or scholarship (73.1%), low socioeconomic status (60.0%), residing in the family household (57.7%), consumed home-cooked meals (58.5%), and used the e-hailing food services for 0-3 days/week (63.1%). There was an equal distribution in the year and program of study in every selected faculty. Most were having normal BMI status (54.6%), good nutrition knowledge (66.9%), sedentary (48.5%), less severe mental health status (85.4%), and good diet quality (62.3%). Nonetheless, throughout the study, only the anxiety subscale was associated with diet quality (r= -0.20, p<0.05). Conclusion: Perceived anxiety may lead to poor diet quality. Future studies could determine the food environment and food security faced by the students as these factors vary among individuals. It is also recommended to measure diet quality differences before, during, or after the pandemic

    The issue of the environment such as increasing sea levels, air pollution, water pollution, and climate change, are affecting people all over. Since early times, human beings have been experiencing environmental degradation due to the development activities due to the rise of civilizations. A green product is designed to have as little environmental impact as possible over its entire life cycle, including after it is no longer being used. This study examines the factors influencing green product purchase behaviour among University Putra Malaysia (UPM) students. A total of 260 respondents were selected from the University of Putra Malaysia by using simple random sampling. The data was collected by using the administered questionnaire. The results of multiple linear regressions showed that the adjusted R2 is 0.438, indicating that the variance of the dependent variable was explained by the knowledge, attitude, social appeal and emotional value. The result also showed only three variables were influencing; emotional value (ß =.333, p ? 0.01) was the most influential factor, followed by knowledge (ß =.303, p ? 0.01) and attitude (ß =.160, p ? 0.01) among UPM students towards the green product purchase behaviour. This study concluded that emotional value, knowledge, and attitude were among the factors influencing green product purchase behaviour. Future research is recommended to conduct this study on other University students in Malaysia with larger samples and also can focus on the other factors which influence the students on green product purchase behaviou
