The Development of Methodological Framework in Redefining Discourse of Malaysia Architecture Identity
Full text linkThe ideas in adapting Malay tradit ional architecture values have been gazened as one of the resolutions for National Architeccure Idemity as presemed in 'Seminar Ke Arah fdentiti Kebangsaan Dalam Seni Bina' in 1981. Despite the encouragemem from the governmem, th e adaptation of Malay tradicional arch itecmre va lues to the des ign of the modern building are still small in numbers. On top of these small numbers, just a few of them are considered appropriately transformed. Based on this prolong issues, this paper anempts to redefine the direction of the long debates of National Architecture Idemity discourse by proposing the new paradigm and methodological framework. T he new objectives are constructed from the Malaysia modern comemporary architeccure ideas and thoughts, recem publica tion s and public forums which discussing the issues on National Architecture Idemity. On the methodological framework, the research onion methodologies are adapted
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
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
TIPOLOGI BANGUNAN SENI BINA MELAYU MODEN DI MALAYSIA
Full text linkPengadaptasian nilai rekabentuk seni bina Melayu tradisional kepada bangunan moden telah diwartakan sebagai salah satu jalan di dalam membina bahasa identiti seni bina kebangsaan seperti yang telah dinyatakan di dalam ‘Seminar Ke Arah Identiti Kebangsaan Dalam Seni Bina’ pada tahun 1981. Sungguhpun mendapat galakan daripada kerajaan, jumlah pembangunan rekabentuk bangunan baru yang mengadaptasi nilai warisan seni bina Melayu tradisional masih kecil, malah daripada jumlah yang kecil ini, hanya segelintir daripadanya diklasifikasi mempunyai kualiti rekabentuk yang baik. Di dalam kajian ini, penilaian dan klasifikasi dilaksanakan terhadap 12 buah bangunan seni bina Melayu Moden di Malaysia; iaitu merujuk kepada bangunan moden di Malaysia yang direkabentuk dengan mengadaptasi nilai dan karakteristik yang wujud dalam bahasa senibina Melayu tradisional dan juga warisan kesenian dan kebudayaan Melayu. Melaluinya, tipologi bangunan seni bina melayu moden dibentuk dari kerangka seni bina moden klasikal di Barat, di mana kesemua 12 buah bangunan ini telah diklasifikasi mengikut kerangka ini. Kajian ini diharap akan dapat memberi impak di dalam merevolusi pemikiran seni bina Melayu moden di masa akan datang, seterusnya menjadi jambatan kepada pembangunan identiti seni bina nasional yang lebih mapan dan komprehensif
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
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
