Sri Rahmiaty Sompa, 2022. "The Use of SpeechWay Application to Increase
Students' Speaking Skills in the 2nd Semester of English Education
Department at State Islamic Institute of Palopo." Thesis English Study
Program Educational Department in the State Islamic Institute Palopo
Supervised by Madehang and Husnaini.
This thesis aims to determine the use of the SpeechWay application to increase
students' speaking skills in the 2nd semester of English Education Department at
the State Islamic Institute of Palopo. It uses a pre-experimental design method,
especially the one-group pre-test and post-test. The researcher gets a score on
three aspects of speaking skills; accuracy, fluency, and comprehensibility by using
pre-test and post-test. The population of this study was students in the 2nd
semester of English Education Department at State Islamic Institute of Palopo,
with a total number of 72. Sampling was taken by convinience sampling consist of
15 students. The results of the data analysis showed that the calculated of
(7.115) is higher than (2.14479). It showed that the SpeechWay Application
is effective to increase students' speaking skills at the State Islamic Institute of
Palopo.

WITH SOLVENTS USED OIL
(Rahmiaty Tri Syahputri, 2014, 62 pages, 9 tables, 37 images, 4 attachment)
Asphalt is a material that Thermoplastis, the consistency or viscosity will change according to changes in temperature occur. The higher the temperature of the asphalt, the lower the viscosity. In an increasingly bloated asphalt consumption is not matched by an adequate supply, it would require the use of alternatives to address the consumption of asphalt with manufacture of synthetic aspal or artificial asphalt to minimize the use of pure bitumen. In previous studies of mixing composition analysis showed 33.3% in sample 1 with latex composition 90 grams, 10 grams of PET plastic, 10 grams of HDPE plastic, and 120 ml palm oil wastes. Where the value of 396 mm penetration, softening point of 48.5°C, flash point 206°C, the ductility of 23.1 cm, and density 1.033 grams/ml. So the purpose of this study to improve the penetration values in previous studies to determine the characteristics of the synthetic asphalt mixtures HDPE plastic waste and rubber scrap tires with used oil solvent is done with 7 variations of composition. The composition of the seven variations in sample 4 with tire rubber composition of 240 grams, 60 grams of HDPE plastic and 250 ml used oil gained 78.81 penetration value (0.1 mm), flash point of 345oC and density 1.0506 grams/ml. It can be concluded that the resulting synthetic asphalt has met the standard of asphalt Pen 60/70 .

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
