A single journal study : Malaysian Journal of Computer Science
Full text linkSingle journal studies are reviewed and measures used in the studies are highlighted. The following quantitative measures are used to study 272 articles published in Malaysian Journal of Computer Science, (1) the article productivity of the journal from 1985 to 2007, (2) the observed and expected authorship productivity tested using Lotka's Law of author productivity, identification and listing of core authors; (3) the authorship, co-authorship pattern by authors' country of origin and institutional affiliations; (4) the subject areas of research; (5) the citation analysis of resources referenced as well as the age and half-life of citations; the journals referenced and tested for zonal distribution using Bradford's law of journal scattering; the extent of web citations; and (6) the citations received by articles published in MJCS and impact factor of the journal based on information obtained from Google Scholar, the level of author and journal self-citation
Google Scholar as a source for citation and impact analysis for a non-ISI indexed medical journal
Full text linkIt is difficult to determine the influence and impact of journals which are not covered by the ISI databases and Journal Citation Report. However, with the availability of databases such as MyAIS (Malaysian Abstracting and Indexing System), which offers sufficient information to support bibliometric analysis as well as being indexed by Google Scholar which provides citation information, it has become possible to obtain productivity, citation and impact information for non-ISI indexed journals. The bibliometric tool Harzing's Publish and Perish was used to collate citation information from Google scholar. The study examines article productivity, the citations obtained by articles and calculates the impact factor of Medical Journal of Malaysia (MJM) published between 2004 and 2008. MJM is the oldest medical journal in Malaysia and the unit of analysis is 580 articles. The results indicate that once a journal is covered by MyAIS it becomes visible and accessible on the Web because Google Scholarindexes MyAIS. The results show that contributors to MJM were mainly Malaysian (91) and the number of Malaysian-Foreign collaborated papers were very small (28 articles, 4.8). However, citation information from Google scholar indicates that out of the 580 articles, 76.8 (446) have been cited over the 5-year period. The citations were received from both mainstrean foreign as well as Malaysian journals and the top three citors were from China, Malaysia and the United States. In general more citations were received from East Asian countries, Europe, and Southeast Asia. The 2-yearly impact factor calculated for MJM is 0.378 in 2009, 0.367 in 2008, 0.616 in 2007 and 0.456 in 2006. The 5-year impact factor is calculated as 0.577. The results show that although MJM is a Malaysian journal and not ISI indexed its contents have some international significance based on the citations and impact score it receives, indicating the importance of being visible especially in Google scholar
Youtube Sebagai Media Dakwah Santri Putri Pondok Pesantren Islam Nyai Zainab Shiddiq Jember (Akun YouTube @ppnyaizainabshiddiq6863)
Full text linkNowadays, da'wah activities cannot only be carried out conventionally, but can be carried out through various media. One of them is through social media YouTube. YouTube is a popular and spectacular social media platform, which can upload or share videos. Da'wah on social media via YouTube channels has become a phenomenon that occurs among preachers. This is what makes researchers want to know how effective YouTube is as a medium for da'wah for female students at the Nyai Zainab Shiddiq Jember Islamic Islamic Boarding School. The focus of the research examined in this thesis is: (1) What is the effectiveness of YouTube as a medium for da'wah for female students at the Nyai Zainab Siddiq Jember Islamic boarding school? (2) How is the analysis of the da'wah messages conveyed by the female students of the Nyai Zainab Shiddiq Islamic Islamic Boarding School in Jember? Da'wah message delivered by the female students of the Nyai Zainab Shiddiq Jember Islamic Islamic Boarding School? The method in the research results uses qualitative research methods. The approach used is a qualitative approach with a descriptive type. Data collection techniques use interviews, observation and documentation. And the validity of the data uses technical triangulation and source triangulation. From the results of this research, the author can conclude that preaching using YouTube social media is very effective, because it can provide Islamic religious teachings through tausiyah given by preachers to students, alumni and also the wider community, apart from that it can also promote Islamic boarding schools through activities preaching, so that now without using bulletins the public can find out the preaching message conveyed by PPI female student Nyai Zainab Shiddiq Jember.
Zainab Al-Ghazali’s Interpretation in Naẓarât Fî Kitâbillâh About Domestic Violence
Full text linkThe problem of Domestic Violence is still heard and happening all around
us; the verses of the Qur'an, with their understanding of their own accord, are often
used as excuses to justify such acts. Wrong understanding of nusyuz and steps to
overcome it, as in Q.S. an-Nisa/4:34 and 128, can lead to domestic violence and
will also include claims that the Qur'an positions women as always weak compared
to men, in addition to being caused by wrong interpretations of verses also caused
by several verses that position women in a lower position than men, so the author
is interested in examining the interpretation of female mufassir, i.e. Zainab al�Ghazali.
The research method used in this study is descriptive research with a
qualitative approach characterized by literature research. This study used two data,
namely: the primary data in this study was the book of Zainab al-Ghazali entitled
Naẓarât Fî Kitâbillâh and several of her other books, while the secondary data in
this study were literature such as books, journals and others that contained material
that supported this research.
According to Zainab al-Ghazali, physical violence, that is, hitting a wife, is
not allowed; according to her, the position of men as leaders of the family does not
mean that men should mistreat women. Psychic violence, i.e. 'aḍl or forbidding and
obstructing the will of a wife's choice, which results in a woman's psychic. Sexual
Violence, that is, a husband is prohibited from sexually assaulting his wife
arbitrarily, which means that the husband does not commit violence when courting
his wife. Economic Violence: A husband must not take back the dowry given and
is obliged to provide for his wife. The solution to domestic violence, according to
Zainab, if there is a quarrel or dispute in the household, it is recommended that the
judge reconcile the two (ishlah). The husband and wife must cooperate in
maintaining and managing domestic life to create a harmonious family that follows
Islamic rule
Cellular decision making at the nanoscale
Full text linkThe well-established dependence of cell traction forces on the compliance of supporting matrices has been attributed to levels of force exerted on components in focal contacts. Here, use of novel, force-limited nanoscale tension gauges revealed that both force and substrate deformations govern cell decision-making during initial attachment to compliant substrates. We propose a mechanical model consistent with observed behavior. Upon formation of stable cell contacts, bond tension and tether rupture govern cell attachment, spreading, and focal adhesion maturation at force levels on individual receptors predicted by prior studies.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2019-08-01The student, Zainab Rahil, accepted the attached license on 2016-04-27 at 06:49.The student, Zainab Rahil, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2016-04-27 at 06:55.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2016-04-29 at 14:30.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #9538 on 2017-09-29 at 11:12:58Made available in DSpace on 2017-09-29T17:52:42Z (GMT).

Publication productivity of Malaysian authors and institutions in LIS
No full textThe paper attempted to provide a “picture” of Malaysian LIS research and publications. The study aimed to show (a) the total number and spread of publications produced by Malaysian authors; (b) the active authors; (c) the authorship pattern; (d) the affiliation status of the authors; (e) the main channels used to publish; and (f) the subject covered by the published works. The study confined its scope to the publications produced between 1965 and 2005 by Malaysian authors published in Malaysia as well as abroad. Bibliometric techniques and regression analysis were employed as the measuring instrument. The data was collected from seven online databases and seven well established library OPACs, which are expected to hold earlier and current LIS publications. A bibliometric toolbox was used to feed in text files which provided brief summaries of ranked results, a bibliograph and minimal Bradford zonal analysis. The subject categorization used by Gorman and Corbit’s Model of core competencies for LIS was used to categorized entries by subjects. The results indicated that (a) Malaysian LIS authors preferred to publish in journals (511, 48.9) and conference papers (474, 45.4); (b) the publication distribution fluctuated over the 41 year period but the moving average depicted a steady incremental trend; (c) a total of 506 authors contributed to 1,045 publications and 309 are one-time authors’ (d) the active authors in LIS are affiliated to 131 institutions and the productive institutions were the national Library of Malaysia, University of Malaya library and the academics at the MLIS Programme, University of Malaya.; (e) publication productivity was related to institutional active involvement in LIS journal publishing; and (f) the main subject areas actively researched upon were collection development and management, information centres and services, and ICT applications LIS

Characterizing the 3D interactions of the base-pair stems and helices in RNA molecules
No full textCharacterizing RNA structure experimentally is a challenging task. Computational methods complement experimental methods. In this thesis, we study, using software tools such as DSSR, Matlab, and Excel, the three-dimensional structures of a group of non-redundant RNA structures. These structures are those identifiers as Leontis and Zirbel at January 2017 [1], and the relevant coordinates for these structures downloaded from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) [2]. Specifically, we find the angles between all pairs of chemically linked double helical stems in each of the RNA structures, the distances between the mid points between all these stems, and the distributions for the calculated angles and distances. Additionally, we separate the above calculations to consider stems within the same helix. A helix is composed of at least two stacked base pairs and these base pairs are not necessarily chemically linked. The third part contains these calculations separated for stems in different helices. Based on these calculations, the stems in the same helix can be classified into two groups. The first group has small angles and mid distance among its stems. The stems all lie in the same direction. In the second group, the angle is large, while the distance is small, which means that the stem directions are opposite to each other. There are different probability density functions that fit closely to the data histograms. While the details are given in Chapter 3, the fitted probability density functions confirm that the proposed classification methods are correct. Finally, we plot the distribution of stems lengths to find that the lengths interacting stems tend to be of equal lengths and that interacting stems are more likely to be shorter.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Zainab Fadhi
