ANALISIS KINERJA RUAS JALAN (STUDI KASUS RUAS JALAN WATURENGGONG) DI KOTA DENPASAR
Get PDFKota Denpasar merupakan Ibukota Provinsi Bali, yang merupakan pusat
segala aktivitas perekonomian. Dampaknya adalah lalu lintas yang terdapat di
Kota Denpasar sangat padat, sehingga sering terjadi kemacetan pada beberapa
ruas jalan tertentu. Hal tersebut terjadi karena banyaknya kendaraaan yang melaui
jalur tersebut yang tidak diimbangi dengan kapasitas jalan serta tingginya aktivitas
hambatan samping.
Pada Laporan Tugas Akhir ini , penulis mengangkat topik tentang Analisis
Kinerja Ruas Jalan tepatnya pada ruas jalan Waturenggong. Metode yang
diterapkan dalam menganalisis jalan tersebut menggunakan Metode Manual
Kapasitas Jalan Indonesia (MKJI) 1997.
Setelah diadakan penelitian di ruas jalan tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa
Derajat Kejenuhan (DS) jalan tersebut adalah 0,85 yang artinya tidak memenuhi
persyaratan MKJI 1997. Selanjutnya penulis mencoba memberikan alternatif
pemecahan masalah yang diharapkan dapat membantu instansi terkait dalam
memecahkan masalah ruas jalan tersebut
An interpretive inquiry into accounting practices in Islamic organisations in Malaysia
No full textThis dissertation seeks to explore accounting practices in two Islamic organisations in Malaysia. The study makes a contribution towards the need for accounting research to become more explanatory as a social practice wherein theory is both informed and developed by observation. This is an attempt to study accounting practices in a cultural setting that has not been the subject of previous interpretive accounting research. This interpretive research uses ethnographic and grounded theory as its research methodological approach. The research process of such a methodology is an iterative process involving ongoing analysis and reflection through stages of exploration where the researcher commences with a problem to study. The thesis consists of nine chapters, arranged in four interrelated parts. Each part reflects the research process, starts with a literature review and problem focus; proceeds with the research methodology; follows with the emergent theories; and finally presents the empirical results and descriptive theories. This study uses to complementary modes of theorising, namely, an inductive theoretical development process based upon the 'paradigm model' developed by Strauss and Corbin (1990), and a "modes of thought" and "modes of action" framework developed by Jacobson (1991) as an interpretive schema to describe the findings. This study has shown that "values" are the central phenomenon in both organisations. Accounting and accountability practices have been found to be lacking in esteem and to be based on an informal set of relationships and procedures. With regards to personal accountability, the study shows the conflicting influence of Islamic religious values and power relationships.The "modes of thought" or "contextual conditioners" stem primarily from the underlying influence of Islamic values, power relationships, and societal culture. The accounting practice represents the "modes of action" where in Federal Territory State Religious Council (FTSRC), it has functioned as a rational management tool.</p
Accountability verstehen: A study of accounting in state religious councils in Malaysia
No full textThis paper reports in-depth case studies of financial management and accounting practices in two Islamic religious, public service organisations in Malaysia, using a grounded theory methodology. There are two main purposes of the paper. The first is to provide an example of how a grounded theory study is undertaken in practice and to encourage its use in similar and different settings. The second is to contribute to the understanding of financial management and accounting in religious, public service organisations in general and in Islamic organisations in particular. The methodology used was a combination of Strauss and Corbin (1990, 1998) and Glaser (1978). The grounded theory which emerged used Webers (1947,1949,1968) concept of verstehen to explain the differences in accounting practice. The study showed that the broader social, historical and religious contexts in whichorganisations are embedded, together with the power relationships within them, resulting in unique accounting verstehen and also therefore in unique accounting practices
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
