    DHINAR SRI RUSTIANA. K 2205007. THE ROLES OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN THE IMPROVEMENT OF ENGLISH COURSE TEACHING QUALITY (A Qualitative Study at Lembaga Bahasa dan Pendidikan Profesional (LBPP) LIA Surakarta). Thesis. English Department of Teacher Training and Education Faculty. Sebelas Maret University, Surakarta. 2009. This research investigates the human resource management of English Course and its roles to the teaching quality improvement in the form of qualitative study. The underlying reason of doing this research is regarding the phenomenon that there are not many English courses, which exist and meet the criteria of the good courses. Thus, the objective of this research is to describe the human resource management roles of an English Course and the teachers’ teaching quality toward it. The problems of the research are (1) How does the Human Resource Management (HRM) in Lembaga Bahasa dan Pendidikan Profesional (LBPP) LIA Surakarta treat its teachers and (2) How and to what extend does the HRM of LBPP LIA Surakarta make the improvement of teaching quality of teachers. The research was carried out at LBPP LIA Surakarta on March until May 2009. The sources of the data are (1) events, (2) informants, and (3) written documents. The data were collected through (1) observation, (2) in-depth interview, and (4) document analysis. In analyzing the data, the writer used interactive model analysis including reducing the data, presenting the data, and drawing conclusion. The result of the research shows that: (1) LBPP LIA treats its teachers by providing many services and facilities to its teachers in order to support, develop and improve the teaching ability of the teachers. From the treatment given by HRD, it found that: (a) Teachers assumed that the tight teacher recruitment process and work discipline applied in LBPP LIA are be able to motivate them to show their best work performance, (b) the salary, incentive and bonus received by the teachers are reasonable and be able to improve teaching quality of the teachers through high motivation of work, (c) The training programs held by LBPP LIA every year is beneficial and helpful for the development of teaching quality of the teachers, (d) The facilities provided for the teachers are sufficient and helpful for teachers’ work, (e) The insurances and pension fund gave the guarantee for full-time teachers in their work continuance, (f) the work environment in LBPP LIA is very comfortable, (g) The students of LBPP LIA stated that the teachers’ teaching method are interesting and be able to make the students to be more active in the class, (h) According to LBPP LIA students, the teachers are smart, kind, and friendly. (2) The HRM in LBPP LIA provides good services and enough facilities to its teachers. It is proved by the teachers’ perception that they are treated well and satisfied with the treatments. Based on the research findings, the theory constructed is that Human Resource Management (HRM) roles in LBPP LIA which are carried out by HRD gave improvement to teachers’ teaching quality, in the case of salary, incentive, bonus, insurance, facilities, training program, and work environment. In general, this research shows that to maintain its existence, an English course should have good management inside, in this case is good human resource management. It is because the good HRM will create good quality of employees

    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

    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

    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
