Maintenance of Ruwatan Tradition at Kumendung Village, Muncar, Banyuwangi, East Java in the Modern Era
Get PDFThe Javanese community has a local (kejawen) tradition which is referred to as ruwatan. It had been
in existence before the formal religions were introduced to Java. It is believed to be able to eliminate sukerta/kesialan (bad luck); therefore, the Javanese ethnic people coming from all the community layers still performed it. It was believed that those who did not perform it would be consumed by Bhatara Kala. Three problems are formulated in this study; they are the factors causing the ruwatan to be maintained,
the aspect of sign in its maintenance; and the impact and meaning of its maintenance to the people living
at Kumendung Village, Muncar, Banyuwangi, East Java. Qualitative method was used and the data were descriptively and qualitatively analyzed using the theory of discourse, the theory of deconstruction, the theory of hegemony and the theory of semiotics. The results of the study showed 1) the local genius was strengthened to perform ruwatan cultural identity for the Javanese ethnic people; 2) the ruwatan tradition was a means of communication across religions; 3) the ruwatan tradition also contained hyper spirituality;
the belief in the ruwatan tradition could develop autonomous strength in various styles of religions and beliefs; and 4) the ruwatan tradition contained multiculturalism and universal civilization.

The Hindu community in Bali have a tradition ceremony called pasupati pratima, sacralization of statue. Pasupati generally performed in the temple where pratima will be resided. This article examines the process and the philosophical meaning of pasupati pratima in Pura Pasek Ngukuhin, Banjar Tegeh Kori Denpasar. In this temple, the event has been a tradition but still gugon tuwon, meaning that without the efforts carried out by a tradition steeped in philosophical meaning. In the philosophy of pasupati ceremony is the process of uniting the power of Shiva (Trance Pasupati) on pratima characterized by melaspas ceremony, that is cleaning all the stains of Pratima. Ngatep, unifying symbol of soul and body in pratima is by tying a tridatu thread as the strength of Tri Murti. Chanting Mantram of Pasupati is a wish to Lord Shiva to reside on the Pratima. Chanting script of Dasa Bayu (ten forces of nature) Ing, Ang Kang, Sang, Mang, Pang, Lang, Wang, Yang, Ung means that ten natural forces entered the pratima. Pasupati also means the union of the power of God/ Spirit of the bhuwana agung with Pratima become one substance with God. When this unification happens, the status of pratima become deities. The entire process of Pasupati, philosophically, is the changes status of an object from the profane to the sacred that is based on Satyam Siwam Sundaram (truth, purity and beauty) in order to achieve the purpose of life jagadhita (prosperous)

Perjuangan dan pergulatan akhirnya dengan hentakan atau kelembutan dalam menjawab semua pertanyaan yang muncul, suatu pertanyaan yang tak pernah habis-habisnya, seperti memasuki dunia pengalaman sekaligus dunia kenyataan dalam satu rangkaia
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
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
