    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

    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

    We 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

    ANALISIS PENGETAHUAN PERPAJAKAN DAN KEPATUHAN WAJIB PAJAK PELAKU USAHA MIKRO KECIL MENENGAH KELURAHAN SETU JAKARTA TIMUR

    Rasio pajak Indonesia berada pada level yang rendah, bahkan terendah di antara negara-negara ASEAN lainnya. Usaha Mikro Kecil dan Menengah (UMKM) merupakan salah satu sektor yang belum tersentuh sepenuhnya namun sangat berpotensial untuk meningkatkan rasio pajak di Indonesia karena banyaknya UMKM yang sudah beroperasi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis pengetahuan perpajakan dan kepatuhan Wajib Pajak pelaku Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) Kelurahan Setu Jakarta Timur terkait dengan Pajak Penghasilan Final UMKM. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Pengumpulan data diperoleh dengan menyebarkan kuesioner kepada UMKM Kelurahan Setu Jakarta Timur, wawancara kepada penyuluh Kantor Wilayah Direktorat Jenderal Pajak Jakarta Timur, dan mengajukan data kepada Kantor Wilayah Direktorat Jenderal Pajak Jakarta Timur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan perpajakan pelaku UMKM Kelurahan Setu Jakarta Timur belum optimal dan kepatuhan Wajib Pajak pelaku UMKM Kelurahan Setu Jakarta Timur masih rendah. Berbagai strategi sudah dilakukan oleh pihak Direktorat Jenderal Pajak untuk meningkatkan kepatuhan pajak pelaku UMKM. Kata Kunci: Kepatuhan Wajib Pajak, Pengetahuan Perpajakan, Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM), Pajak UMK

    RANCANG BANGUN SIMULATOR KEBAKARAN PADA MESIN PESAWAT DC-9 BERBASIS INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT)

    Pesawat terbang merupakan suatu moda transportasi yang didesain dengan teknologi mutakhir. Engine merupakan salah satu bagian terpenting pada pesawat yang menghasilkan daya dorong (thrust). Salah satu permasalahan engine yang dapat mengancam keamanan adalah kebakaran. Peristiwa kebakaran pada engine pesawat dapat lebih mudah dipahami jika terdapat simulator yang dapat memvisualisasikan proses yang terjadi. Rancang bangun simulator kebakaran pada mesin pesawat ini mengacu pada fire protection system pesawat DC-9 yang menggunakan sensor thermocouple tipe K dengan range suhu 0°-400°C yang dipasang pada miniatur engine untuk sistem deteksinya. Sedangkan, sistem pemadamnya menggunakan water pump. Sensor thermocouple akan diprogram untuk mendeteksi kenaikan suhu sebesar ≥76°C yang akan mengindikasikan kebakaran dengan menyalakan engine fire warning lights dan bel. Suhu yang digunakan merupakan hasil rasio 1:4 dari suhu terjadinya kebakaran pada engine pesawat sesungguhnya, yaitu ≥304°C. Sistem deteksinya juga didesain untuk memberikan notifikasi kebakaran dan menampilkan suhu yang terdeteksi di engine pada aplikasi Blynk. Untuk sistem pemadamnya, ketika suhu mencapai ≥76°C dan engine fire handle serta switch dioperasikan maka 4 LED sistem akan mati, lalu menghidupkan water pump yang akan menyemprotkan air ke sensor thermocouple. Setelah air disemprotkan, suhu yang terdeteksi pun akan kembali normal. Kemudian dilakukan pengukuran waktu kenaikan suhu dan penurunan suhu sensor thermocouple, pengukuran tegangan sensor thermocouple saat kenaikan maupun penurunan suhu, dan pengukuran waktu respon notifikasi aplikasi Blynk pada simulator ini. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa rancang bangun simulator kebakaran pada mesin pesawat DC-9 bekerja dengan baik
