Kiprah H. Sarkawi dalam Pembinaan Seni Baca Al-Qur’an di Kabupaten Hulu Sungai Tengah
No full textPerkembangan seni baca Al-Qur’an ditandai dengan banyak berdirinya
organisasi-organisasi dan tempat pembinaan seni baca Al-Qur’an di berbagai
daerah. Banyaknya perlombaan atau haflah Qur’an mulai dari tingkat desa,
kecamatan, kabupaten/kota, provinsi bahkan nasional juga mendominasi peminat
seni baca Al-Qur’an tersebut. Dalam sebuah pembinaan tentunya tidak terlepas
dari seorang guru. H. Sarkawi adalah salah satu qari dan guru seni baca Al-Qur’an
di Kabupaten Hulu Sungai Tengah yang masih mengadakan pembinaan sejak
tahun 90-an hingga saat ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui biografi H.
Sarkawi secara keseluruhan, kiprahnya dalam membina seni baca Al-Qur’an
khususnya di Kabupaten Hulu Sungai Tengah, serta metode dan teknik yang
digunakan H. Sarkawi sehingga pembinaannya masih bertahan hingga sekarang
dan dapat melahirkan qari dan qariah Nasional.
Rumusan masalah dari penelitian ini adalah 1) Bagaimana kiprah H.
Sarkawi dalam pembinaan seni baca Al-Qur’an di Kabupaten Hulu Sungai
Tengah. Bagaimana metode dan teknik yang digunakan oleh H. Sarkawi dalam
pembinaan seni baca Al-Qur’an.
Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian lapangan (field research). Penelitian
ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain deskriptif. Adapun
responden dalam penelitian ini yaitu murid-murid dan teman sejawat H. Sarkawi.
Sementara teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini dilakukan dengan
menggunakan observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi.

Antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of leaves and roots of Centella asiatica / Zarina Sarkawi
No full textCentella asiatica (C asiatica) or locally named as 'pegaga' in Malaysia, belongs to the family Umbelliferare. It is known to have many medicinal benefits and all parts of this plant can be utilized for medicinal used. This study was conducted to determine the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of the leaves and roots of Centella asiatica. The plant was disintegrated to two part which were leaves and roots and extracted in ethanol for antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus allreus (ATCC 25923) and methanol extraction for antioxidant activities. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of Centella asiatica leaves and roots extract were determined by broth dilution method against Staphylococcus allreus (ATCC 25923). Antimicrobial sensitivity testing also done using five different concentration of the extract which were 500 mg/ml, 250 mg/ml, 150 mg/ml, 75 mg/ml and 37.5 mg/ml and the antioxidant activities of Casiatica leaves and roots extract were determined by DPPH radical scavenging assay. The Casiatica leaves and roots extract showed MIC and MBC value at concentration of 150 mg/m!. For antimicrobial sensitivity testing the zone of inhibition of the Casiatica leaves extract was greater than Casiatica roots extract. The leave extract gave zone of inhibition range about 10 mm to 12 mm at the concentration of 500 mg/ml and 8 mm to 10 mm at the concentration of 250 mg/m!. There were no zone of inhibition observed on the leave extract at the concentration of 150, 75, 37.5 and mg/m!. The roots extract of the Casiatica only showed the zone of inhibition at the concentration of 500 mg/ml range about 8 mm to 10 mm. There were no zone of inhibition observed on the roots extract at the concentration of 250, 150, 75 and 37.5 mg/m!. The positive control (Gentamicin 30llg) showed zone of inhibition in the range 25 to 30 mm. Percentage of inhibition of DPPH radical scavenging activity by methanolic leaves extract of Casiatica showed higher value which were 38.53% for 1.25 mg/ml, 30.35% for 2.5 mg/ml, 84.55% for 5 mg/ml, 85.16% for 10 mg/ml and 86.47% for 20 mg/ml while the methanolic roots extract of Casiatica were 10.38% for 1.25 mg/ml, 4.35% for 2.5 mg/ml, 14.52% for 5 mg/ml, 62.26% for 10 mg/ml and 79.32% for 20 mg/m!. In conclusion, the CenteUa asiatica leaves extract showed greater antimicrobial and antioxidant activities compared with the roots. In vivo study is highly recommended for further study
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
On the switching control of the DC–DC zeta converter operating in continuous conduction mode
No full textHere, a switching control mechanism for the stabilization of a DC–DC zeta converter operating in continuous conduction mode is proposed. The switching control algorithm is based on a control Lyapunov function and extends the method proposed for a two-dimensional boost converter model presented in the literature to a four-dimensional zeta converter model. The local asymptotical stability of the operating point is established using LaSalle's invariance principle for differential inclusions. By applying spatial regularization, a modified switching control algorithm reduces the switching frequency and keeps the state-trajectory around a neighbourhood of the operating point. The method works well even if the operation point changes significantly and it is valid for both step-up and step-down operations. Furthermore, by approximating the state-trajectory near the operating point, an explicit relation between the modified switching algorithm and the switching frequency is obtained, which allows to choose systematically the desired switching frequency for the converter to operate. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated with simulation results.</p
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
