A framework for understanding old-age vulnerabilities
No full textUnderstanding vulnerability matters because being vulnerable represents a profoundly undesirable state. People who experience vulnerability in old age are of obvious humanitarian concern, as their insecurity and heightened exposure to certain threats is likely to be compounded by reduced capacities for coping independently. Comprehension of the causes and consequences of vulnerability is important for the development of social policies as it indicates ways of avoiding and alleviating bad outcomes. Policies which have the concept of vulnerability at their heart encourage the development of preventive and targeted measures, which is crucial in conditions of financial constraints and competing demands. By studying vulnerability we investigate processes of relative disadvantage or exclusion and, for purposes of comparison, absolute differences in socio-economic or policy context can be set aside. This makes the study of vulnerability particularly germane to cross-cultural and cross-national research on old-age and elderly support

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
Perancangan User Experience dan User Interface pada Aplikasi Ruly untuk Mewadahi Korban Sexual Harassment Menggunakan Pendekatan Design Thinking
Full text linkKekerasan seksual memiliki dampak serius pada korban, termasuk dampak psikis, ekonomi, dan kesehatan. Penelitian ini melibatkan 16 mahasiswa yang mengungkapkan bahwa satu di antaranya pernah menjadi korban kekerasan seksual namun tidak melakukan upaya penangan lanjut. Temuan ini diperkuat oleh survei Komnas Perempuan tahun 2016 yang melibatkan 25.213 responden daring, di mana 1.636 responden mengaku mengalami kekerasan seksual, namun sebagian besar tidak melaporkan karena takut. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi penggunaan aplikasi Ruly yang mengintegrasi Chatbot dengan teori Cognitive Behavioral Therapy sebagai solusi untuk korban kekerasan seksual. Pendekatan design thinking digunakan dalam perancangan User Experience & User Interface dengan lima tahapan: empati, definisi, ideasi, prototipe, dan pengujian. Dalam tahap pengujian, penelitian menerapkan Usability Testing dengan variabel seperti learnability, efisiensi, daya ingat, kesalahan, dan kepuasan. Hasil pengujian dengan dua iterasi menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan, dengan nilai rata-rata Usability Testing meningkat dari 70,37 menjadi 85,53. Hal ini menyiratkan bahwa aplikasi Ruly memudahkan pengguna dan mendapat penilaian sangat baik setelah dua kali pengujian
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
