THE USE OF MIND MAPPING IN IMPROVING STUDENT WRITING ABILITY
Get PDFABSTRACT
This research entitled “The Use of Mind Mapping Technique in Improving Students’ Writing Ability”. It aims to find out whether mind mapping improves students’ ability in increasing descriptive writing skill. To analyze the data, a quasi-experimental design was employed. It involves two eighth graders classes in a school in Bandung. Data were obtained through pre-test, post-test, and questionnaires. Data analyzed by using t-test on mind mapping technique. The questionnaires are used to investigate students’ responses toward mind mapping technique. The findings show that significance value is lower than 0.05, (0.008< 0.05, r = 0.369), meaning that mind mapping improves the students’ ability in writing descriptive text. In addition, data taken from questionnaire reveal that students mostly respond mind mapping positively. The students claim that this technique offers interesting learning, challenge creativity, and serves new simple technique to write especially in descriptive text. So, it is recommended for further researcher to conduct a research for other skills and other techniques
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
Translation Method Analysis on Figurative Language in Novel Crazy Rich Asians Translated into Kaya Tujuh Turunan
Get PDFThis research is aimed to find the types of figurative language used and to identify translation method that the translator chooses to translate figurative language from Crazy Rich Asians novel into Kaya Tujuh Turunan. This research is descriptive qualitative research with secondary data. The object of this research is a novel by Kevin Kwan titled Crazy Rich Asians (2013) which translated into Kaya Tujuh Turunan (2016) by Cindy Kristianto. The novel is analyzed using Abram’s figurative language theory (1999) and Newmark’s translation method. The novel contains 154 figurative languages. After examining the figurative language data in Crazy Rich Asians, it was discovered that there were 51 similes, 43 hyperboles, 25 imagery, 22 metonymy, and 13 ironies. According to the findings of the research, six of the eight translation methods given by Newmark were employed in translating the words, phrases, clauses, and sentences from English to Indonesian in the novel Crazy Rich Asians. They are literal (94), faithful (4), semantic (3), idiomatic (2), and communicative translation (21). According to the findings of the analysis, the most dominant translation method utilized in translating the novel is literal translation. Based on the most often employed translation methods in translating the novel, it is possible to deduce that the translator prioritizes the corresponding word or expression in the target language that has the same meaning and nuance as in the source language.

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
