The Role of Zakat in Poverty Alleviation and Farmer Welfare; the Theoretical Review
No full textZakat is a must to implement which has been proven to be an instrument for equal distribution of income to alleviate poverty and socio-economic disparities in society. This research aims to reveal the latest research regarding the role of zakat in poverty alleviation and prosperity. Then map previous research findings and gaps regarding the role of zakat in poverty alleviation and prosperity; and reveal the role of zakat in the welfare of farmers. This research uses a literature study paradigm. They used secondary data from 71 journals. The scientific journal search technique used the keywords "the role of Zakat in alleviating poverty and welfare of farmers" in the latest publication period between 2014 and 2024. Discussions regarding the role of zakat in alleviating poverty and welfare are generally carried out in Indonesia, Nigeria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tanzania, Brunei Darussalam, Bangladesh, and Malaysia. Research intensity (number of journals) in the rice line shows an increase. The results of previous studies agree that zakat has quite important potential as a key instrument in distributing financial resources to be used by zakat recipients to get out of the poverty line. The results of the next analysis are research findings that specifically state that zakat has begun to shift to the agricultural sector. In particular, research regarding zakat for the welfare of farmers began to be carried out in 2016-2024. The focus of the analysis is distribution scenarios, driving factors for zakat payments, models for empowering zakat recipients, implementation barriers, and most recently the focus on implementing agricultural zakat for financial inclusion by strengthening institutions. Several predictors that are widely discussed by researchers and need to be studied further are the role of zakat on poverty and welfare through labor absorption to overcome unemployment and income inequality
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
Enhancing Agricultural Finance through Human Resource Management in Banking: A Case Study
No full textBanking plays a crucial role in supporting the agricultural sector, especially in regions like Southeast Sulawesi, which relies on agriculture as a key economic pillar. This study evaluates the role of banking institutions in supporting agriculture through the application of innovative human resource management (HRM) practices, such as transglobal leadership, organizational culture, and employee trust and commitment. These practices aim to enhance the banking sector’s performance in providing financing services, such as the People's Business Credit (KUR), which increases productivity and sustainability in agriculture. Using a descriptive and quantitative approach, data was collected from 135 bank employees in Southeast Sulawesi. The findings show that while KUR has successfully improved productivity, expanding access to remote areas remains a significant challenge. Furthermore, transglobal leadership and an inclusive organizational culture have a significant impact on employee performance, which in turn strengthens the effectiveness of banking support for agriculture. Employee trust also enhances the relationship between leadership, organizational culture, and performance commitment. This study suggests that to strengthen banking’s contribution to the agricultural sector, HRM practices that are inclusive and supportive should be reinforced, along with expanding credit services to farmers in remote areas.

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
