Fenomena 'Target Panic' di Kelab Memanah UiTM Pahang / Mohamad Azmi Nias Ahmad and Adam Feizrel Linoby Ronny Linoby
Masalah 'target panic' adalah berkaitan dengan ganguan psikologi yang mengakibatkan seseorang pemanah itu hilang kawalan dalam melakukan rutin memanah yang sempurna. Masih belum ada lagi kajian secara terperinci mengenai masalah ini. la biasanya berlaku dikalangan keseluruhan pemanah kategori compound Kelab Memanah UiTM Pahang, tetapi hanya 5 kes sahaja dibincangkan kerana terdapat catatan lengkap. Penulisan ini bertujuan untuk meneroka masalah ini dan merungkaikan bagaimana masalah ini dapat diatasi dengan jayanya di UiTM Pahang. Kaedah penyelesaian ini boleh digunapakai dan dijadikan asas untuk penambahbaikan oleh jurulatih-jurulatih memanah di UiTM Pahang khususnya dan di semua peringkat secara amnya
Adakah ‘Target Panic’ menyebabkan prestasi merudum di kalangan pemanah? / Mohamad Azmi Nias Ahmad ... [et al.]
‘Target Panic’ can make an archer to experience a disruption in their archery routines and techniques. The study is to explore the problem of ‘Target Panic’
among 28 archers who have experienced this emerging problem before. The objective of this study is to understand this issue better, to look into the differences of scores before and while an arher who is experiencing the 'Target
Panic' and listing the recovery steps through the feedback received. Using primary data, 104 questionnaires were distributed and only 53 questionnaires were completed and returned. The instrument is then analyzed using Statistical
Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20.0 for t-test (two-tailed) comparison of scores before and during archers experiencing ‘Target panic’.Results show that there are significant differences in scores for the compound archers but no significant scores differences were found among
recurver archers
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
Digit ratio (2D:4D) profile of varsity rugby players / Mohd. Zulkhairi Mohd. Azam …[et al.]
High performance in sport and aggression has been reported to correlate with low digit ratio (2D:4D) due to high amount of testosterone received in the womb. In this study rugby is chosen because Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Pahang's rugby team is regarded as one of the top 3 teams among the UiTM branches rugby team, and also among other varsity rugby teams in the nation. The players were very talented as most of them have vast experiences playing for their own respective states from youth to the senior team level. Furthermore, rugby has been associated with aggression which is a direct relation to the production of hormone testosterone. Thus, this study was conducted in order to investigate the digit ratio profile of the rugby players (n=22). Their mean age score was 19.3±0.95 years old and 2D:4D were measured by using the MicroDicom software Based on the descriptive analysis, the findings showed that 20 players out of 22 players had low 2D:4D, with only 2 players had high 2D:4D with overall mean score .95±.03I mm and the highest 2D:4D recorded were 1.02 mm. The results were in line with the other past related evidence which stated that low 2D:4D were highly correlated with sporting ability and high performance across variety of sports. Therefore, we concluded most of the players in the current rugby team posed low 2D:4D, and may correlate with the team high rugby performance that contributes to most of their recent success
Variations on the Author
“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
We 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
We 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
We 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
