    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    City always grows and develops because of the economic growth and the increase of population. This development surely needs a lot of land that it eventually result in the change of land use. The change of land use has occured in Kelurahan Bagan Deli which once was a residential area, now it is dominated by industries and warehouses (container), seaport, tourism business (Ocean Pacific), and trade (good and services). With the reduction in residential land, the residents look for land which is not officially designated for settlement function that it eventually becomes a slum agglomeration. Based on the problem mentioned above, the purpose of this study was to analyze the land use in accordance with the Medan Regional Land Use Planning 2016, to analyze the current change of land use, and to analyze the issues influencing the changes of land use. The scope of this study on the Change of Land Use in Kelurahan bagan Deli Belawan was divided into two: substantial and spatial scopes. The primary and secondary data needed for this study were obtained through field research. This study also belongs to applied research (practical research), a systematic study on a problem which is intended to be used for certain purposes. The result of this study showed that the land use change from residential into the economic oriented industries, warehouses, seaport, tourism and trade areas. This is indicated by the incident of penetration of new function into a homogenous function such as the existence of residential areas around the toll road then followed by the penetration of other activities such a services and offices. Looking at its current tendency, the change of land use occurred has developed from activity of penetration to activity of invasion (new land which a bigger than the one in the stages of penetration) for settlement, even though the sympton of the dominance for new land is not yet reached. This change should be compared with the theory, requirements and criteria of good land use to meet the policy of land use with positive impact.Kota dalam perjalanannya selalu tumbuh dan berkembang, dan salah satu penyebabnya adalah adanya pertumbuhan ekonomi dan pertambahan penduduk. Perkembangan ini tentu membutuhkan lahan yang tidak sedikit, hingga pada akhirnya terjadi perubahan tata guna lahan. Perubahan tata guna lahan di Kelurahan Bagan Deli yang dulunya pemukiman, saat ini mulai di dominasi industri dan pergudangan (peti kemas), pelabuhan, pariwisata (ocean pasific), dan perdagangan/jasa. Dengan berkurangnya lahan pemukiman, penduduk akan mencari lahan yang tidak diperuntukkan untuk fungsi permukiman yang pada umumnya tidak memiliki perizinan yang pada akhirnya teraglomerasi menjadi pemukiman kumuh. Dari latar belakang dan permasalah di atas, maka didapat tujuan dari penelitian, yaitu mengkaji tata guna lahan sesuai dengan Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah Kota Medan 2030, meneliti perubahan tata guna lahan yang terjadi saat ini, serta melakukan kajian terhadap hal-hal yang mempengaruhi perubahan tata guna lahan tersebut. Ruang Lingkup Studi mengenai Kajian Perubahan Tata guna Lahan di Kelurahan Bagan Deli Belawan ini, dibedakan menjadi 2 ruang lingkup, yaitu ruang lingkup substansial dan ruang lingkup spasial. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan mengadakan survei lapangan (field research) yang bermaksud untuk mendapatkan data primer dan sekunder yang diperlukan. Penelitian ini juga termasuk dalam jenis penelitian terapan (applied research, practical research), yaitu penelitian atau penyelidikan yang sistematik terhadap suatu masalah dengan tujuan untuk digunakan bagi keperluan tertentu. Hasil dari kajian yang telah dilakukan adalah adanya perubahan tata guna lahan dari pemukiman menjadi lahan industri dan pergudangan, pelabuhan, pariwisata dan perdagangan yang berorientasi ekonomi. Hal ini ditunjukkan dengan terjadinya penetrasi (penerobosan fungsi baru ke dalam suatu fungsi yang homogen) kegiatan tersebut terdapat pada kawasan permukiman di kawasan sekitar jalan tol yang kemudian diikuti dengan dengan penetrasi kegiatan lainnya seperti: jasa pelayanan, dan perkantoran. Melihat kecenderungannya hingga saat ini, perubahan guna lahan yang terjadi tersebut telah mengalami perkembangan dari gejala penetrasi kegiatan pemukiman menjadi gejala invasi (penyerbuan guna lahan baru yang lebih besar dari tahap penetrasi) kegiatan pemukiman, meskipun belum mencapai gejala dominasi guna lahan baru. Perubahan ini harusnya di bandingkan dengan teori syarat dan kriteria tata guna lahan yang baik agar memenuhi kebijakan tata ruang serta berdampak positif.149 HalamanTesis Magiste

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    We 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

The fact indicates that the two ways of health services, both traditional treatment and modern medicine until now ii still have a place in the community. The purpose of this study is to determine how public confidence in the alternative treatment of bone fractures in which case studies on alternative treatment of bone .fractures P.Gurusinga and Tawar Kem-Kem. This research is a qualitative study that described the public trust in alternative treatment fractures using in-depth interview method (depth interview). Informants in this study is using community treatment services (a patient) in the treatment of P. Gurusinga and Tawar Kem-Kem, selected with suitability and adequacy of the method as much as 10 ir,formants. My research results showed that public confidence arose because the influence of five indicators, among other things from people's knowledge of alternative treatment of bone fractures, broken bones reputation alternative medicine, alternative medicine is influenced by the .fracture, secu1ity and comfort in alternative medicine, and the last one is a useful alternative trea(f'ent of fractures within the local community, where the results knowledge informants about the treatment of bone opportunity is a result of recommendations from the people closest and most informants felt uncomfortable using alternative treatments and partly for the treated patients felt the lack of comfort of staying in terms of facilities. All infoman say have a reputation in the treatment either because based on what vi<twed or existing facts. And all informants also adhere to the rules and taboos-taboos that exist in the alternative treatment of bone fractures and to provide benefits in acco,:dance with what the informants are needed healing that qffects the emergence of a belief in the treatment given and the desire to recover from the informants. Start the emergence of public confidence in the use of traditional medicine in dealing with their, health problems despite a complete and modern medical treatment, became one• of great concern for the government to be able to reconcile the traditional treatment with medical treatment. So that the side effects of traditional medication errors car, be minimal.96 HalamanTesis Magiste

    We 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
