    This study aims to examine the composition and structure of the vegetation in the protected forest area of PT Finnantara Intiga's Sintang block and determine the pattern of forest restoration and the types of vegetation that will be used for restoration of degraded forests. This research was conducted at PT Finnantara Intiga Sintang Block which is located in five land cover areas, of which three are reference secondary swamp forest (KPPN, KPSL and river border) and two areas are degraded forest (shrub and open land). This study uses a survey method with a line plot system. The sample was determined by means of purposive sampling. Based on the results of research data analysis, the number of species found at all levels at the KPSL location was nine species, at the KPPN location there were eleven species, at the River Border location there were eight species, at the Semak Belukar location there were seven species and at the Open Land location there were four species. In general, the horizontal structure of forest stands in damaged forest ecosystems is below the horizontal structure of natural forest stands as a reference. This shows that the level of vegetation density at the location of shrubs and open land has decreased so that forest restoration measures are needed to increase the density closer to natural forest ecosystems that have not been damaged. The pattern of forest restoration for scrub areas and open land referring to the Guidelines for Restoration in Conservation Areas (JICA, 2014) is natural succession. The pattern of forest restoration that will be implemented must take into account the physical conditions of the field and local socio-cultural considerations based on stakeholder considerations. The type of vegetation for enrichment and planting activities at the shrub location refers to the KPSL location as a reference because it tends to have similarities with the community similarity index of 52.03%. The type of vegetation for enrichment and planting activities on open land locations refers to the KPPN location as a reference because it tends to have similarities with the community similarity index of 52.17%. Keywords:  Composition, forest degradation, restoration, structureAbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji komposisi dan struktur vegetasi di kawasan hutan perlindungan blok Sintang PT Finnantara Intiga serta menentukan pola pemulihan hutan dan jenis vegetasi yang akan digunakan untuk restorasi hutan terdegradasi. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di PT Finnantara Intiga Blok Sintang yang terletak di lima areal tutupan lahan, dimana tiga areal sebagai hutan rawa sekunder referensi (KPPN, KPSL dan sempadan sungai) dan dua areal di hutan yang terdegradasi (semak belukar dan lahan terbuka). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survey dengan cara jalur berpetak. Sampel ditentukan dengan cara Purposive Sampling. Berdasarkan hasil analisis data penelitian, Jumlah jenis yang ditemui di semua tingkatan di lokasi KPSL ada sembilan jenis, dilokasi KPPN ada sebelas jenis, di lokasi Sempadan Sungai ada delapan jenis, di lokasi Semak Belukar ada tujuh jenis dan di lokasi Lahan Terbuka ada empat jenis. Secara umum bentuk grafik struktur horizontal tegakan hutan pada ekosistem hutan yang mengalami kerusakan berada di bawah grafik struktur horizontal tegakan hutan alam yang menjadi referensi. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kerapatan vegetasi pada lokasi semak belukar dan lahan terbuka mengalami penurunan sehingga diperlukan tindakan pemulihan hutan untuk meningkatkan kerapatan mendekati ekosistem hutan alam yang belum mengalami kerusakan. Pola pemulihan hutan untuk areal semak belukar dan lahan terbuka merujuk pada Pedoman Tata Cara Restorasi di Kawasan Konservasi (JICA, 2014) adalah suksesi alami. Pola pemulihan hutan yang akan dilaksanakan harus mempertimbangkan kondisi fisik lapangan dan sosial budaya setempat berdasarkan pertimbangan stakeholder. Jenis vegetasi untuk kegiatan pengkayaan dan penanaman pada lokasi semak belukar mengacu pada lokasi KPSL sebagai referensi karena kecenderungan memiliki kemiripan dengan dengan indeks kesamaan komunitas sebesar 52,03%. Jenis vegetasi untuk kegiatan pengkayaan dan penanaman pada lokasi lahan terbuka mengacu pada lokasi KPPN sebagai referensi karena kecenderungan memiliki kemiripan dengan dengan indeks kesamaan komunitas sebesar 52,17%.Kata kunci: Degradasi hutan, komposisi, restorasi, struktu

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    Full text link
    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    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

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
