Peranan Kepala Madrasah Dalam Meningkatkan Kinerja Guru Di Madrasah Aliyah Guppi Gunung Jati Kecamatan Gantarang Kabupaten Bulukumba
Full text linkThis research was conducted with the aim of: (1) knowing the role of the madrasah head in improving teacher performance at Guppi Gunung Jati Madrasah Aliyah; (2) knowing the supporting and inhibiting factors of the role of the madrasa head in improving teacher performance at the Guppi Gunung Jati Madrasah Aliyah.This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. Methods of data collection through observation, interviews and documentation in an effort to find out the role of the madrasa head in improving teacher performance at Guppi Gunung Jati Madrasah Aliyah.The results of this study indicate that the madrasa head has carried out his role in improving teacher performance as: (1) the madrasa head as a leader, motivator, educator and supervisor. (2) Factors supporting the madrasah head in improving teacher performance, namely (a) the quality of teachers who wish to develop their abilities, (b) the establishment of good communication, (c) the collaboration between educators and the head of the madrasa. The inhibiting factors for the role of the madrasa head in improving teacher performance are: (a) there is still a lack of civil servant education staff, (2) teachers are less able to divide their time between homework and school work, (c) innate abilities. The conclusion of this study is that the role of the head of the madrasah in improving teacher performance in Madrasah Aliyah Guppi Guning Jati has been carried out well through the program made by the madrasah
Diversity and Phosphate-Solubilizing Potential of Rhizosphere Bacteria Associated with Foxtail Millet (Setaria italica L.)
Full text linkFoxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) is a cereal crop that can adapt to marginal environments; however, its growth is often limited by low phosphorus availability in the soil. Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) in the rhizosphere play an important role in increasing phosphorus availability and promoting plant growth. This study aimed to isolate and screen phosphate-solubilizing bacteria associated with the rhizosphere of foxtail millet and evaluate their potential as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria. Soil samples were collected from the rhizosphere and subjected to serial dilution followed by bacterial isolation on Nutrient Agar medium. Screening of phosphate-solubilizing activity was conducted using Pikovskaya medium by observing the formation of clear zones around bacterial colonies and calculating the solubilization index. Morphological characterization and Gram staining were also performed. The results showed that several isolates were capable of solubilizing phosphate with moderate solubilization indices. The colonies generally exhibited circular shapes, entire to undulate margins, convex elevation, and milky white coloration. Gram staining indicated the presence of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. These findings suggest that rhizosphere bacteria associated with foxtail millet have potential as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria
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
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
