No full textThe objectives of the study on "Management of the Elderly Quality of Life Development and Career Promotion Centers" were (1) to investigate the management and operations of the Elderly Quality of Life Development and Career Promotion Centers, (2) to examine the participation of the public sector and other sectors in the management and operations of the Elderly Quality of Life Development and Career Promotion Centers, (3) to study factors affecting success in the management and operations of the Elderly Quality of Life Development and Career Promotion Centers, and (4) to propose the management development of the Elderly Quality of Life Development and Career Promotion Centers. In this study, qualitative research was applied. The study was conducted in Chiang Mai and Nakhon Ratchasima provinces with 4 groups of key informants: Provincial Offices of Social Development and Human Security, Presidents of Subdistrict Administrative Organizations or Mayors, Presidents of the Elderly Quality of Life Development and Career Promotion Centers and committees or members of the Elderly Quality of Life Development and Career Promotion Centers, totaling 30 people as key informants.
The findings revealed that all Elderly Quality of Life Development and Career Promotion Centers were mainly supported by Local Administrative Organizations in establishing and driving the centers' operations along with committees that have been selected by different methods. Resource acquisition in each center varied. Some were supported by LAOs while others were supported through various projects or contests. Regarding participation in the operation or management of the EQCCs, the participating public sectors included Provincial Offices of Social Development and Human Security, Local Administrative Organizations, the National Health Security Office, the people sector, and other agencies, but the participation from the private sector was not obvious. The factors affecting the success of management and operation of the EQCCs consisted of LAOs, leaders, acceptance, budget, policy, and participation of members of LAOs while the Provincial Offices of Social Development and Human Security affected the success of the EQCCs the least
PUBLIC-PRIVATE AND CIVIL SOCIETY PARTNERSHIP IN CULTURAL HERITAGE MANAGEMENT IN THE CASE OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES: THAILAND’S REGULATIONS, POLICIES, IMPLEMENTATION, AND LIMITATION
Full text linkThe public-private partnership is a principal approach utilized and favored in public administration throughout numerous countries. Nevertheless, management in the public sector encompasses not only the distinction between the private and public sectors but also includes civil society. This article seeks to illustrate the public-private and civil society partnerships in cultural heritage management concerning archeological sites in Thailand, focusing on regulations, policies, implementation, and limitations. The qualitative approach was employed to gather data. The findings indicated that no regulation, law, or policy specifically deals with public-private partnerships, particularly in the management of cultural heritage concerning archaeological sites and civil society participation. Instead, these are managed by a combined set of other laws and regulations, like the Cultural Heritage Act and the Public-Private Partnership Act. From the implementation perspective, each government agency utilizes its policies to support project execution in alignment with the executive vision of private initiatives. The absence of explicit laws and regulations limits public-private and civil society partnerships in cultural heritage management, specifically regarding archaeological sites in Thailand. To enhance cultural heritage management for archaeological sites, it is crucial to establish clear laws and regulations and engage all sectors, particularly the public sector, which truly owns the state asset, in understanding its implementations. The project must address the business benefits for investors, conservation considerations, and public engagement to prevent conflicts and enhance community understanding of heritage management for both business and preservation purposes
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
