Paradoks turystyki wiejskiej i łagodzenia ubóstwa
No full textThis research aims to analyze factors determining the competitiveness of rural tourism and assess its performance compared to the poverty level in each province in Indonesia. We employ four main pillars: enabling environment; travel and tourism policy and enabling conditions; infrastructure; and natural & cultural resources adopted from the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index of the World Economic Forum 2019. We conducted fieldwork in four provinces, namely Aceh, Bali, Central Java, and North Sulawesi, by spreading questionnaires and giving semi-structured interviews to obtain respondents’ insights. The poverty gap index measures the intensity level of poverty by employing an expenditure-based poverty line. This study discovers that infrastructure, natural & cultural resources, and enabling environment support rural tourism development in each province. We also find that the excellent performance of rural tourism competitiveness seems to have minimal impact on poverty. Bali has become the major icon of tourism in Indonesia; ironically, its poverty level is relatively higher than in other areas. Meanwhile, Central Java ranks as the second most competitive province after Bali, while the poverty level is the lowest. Our study offers community-based tourism (CBT) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) to resolve the situation. Niniejsze badanie ma na celu analizę czynników determinujących konkurencyjność turystyki wiejskiej i ocenę jej wyników w porównaniu z poziomem ubóstwa w każdej prowincji Indonezji. Praca opiera się na czterech głównych filarach: „środowisko wspomagające”, „polityka w zakresie podróży i turystyki oraz sprzyjające im warunki”, „infrastruktura” oraz „zasoby naturalne i kulturowe”, zaczerpniętych ze wskaźnika konkurencyjności podróży i turystyki (Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index – TTCI) Światowego Forum Ekonomicznego 2019. Przeprowadzono badania terenowe w czterech prowincjach, a mianowicie: Aceh, Bali, Jawa Środkowa i Celebes Północny, rozprowadzając kwestionariusze i przeprowadzając częściowo ustrukturyzowane wywiady w celu uzyskania spostrzeżeń respondentów. Wskaźnik luki ubóstwa (ang. poverty gap index) mierzy poziom natężenia ubóstwa poprzez czastosowanie granicy ubóstwa opartej na wydatkach. Badanie to dowodzi, że infrastruktura, zasoby naturalne i kulturowe oraz środowisko wspomagające wspierają rozwój turystyki wiejskiej w każdej prowincji. Autorki uważają również, że doskonałe wyniki w zakresie konkurencyjności turystyki wiejskiej wydają się mieć minimalny wpływ na ubóstwo. Bali stało się główną ikoną turystyki w Indonezji; jak na ironię, jego poziom ubóstwa jest relatywnie wyższy niż na innych obszarach. Tymczasem Jawa Środkowa jest drugą najbardziej konkurencyjną prowincją po Bali, a poziom ubóstwa jest najniższy. Aby rozwiązać ten problem, autorki proponują rozwój turystyki opartej na społeczności (community-based tourism – CBT) i społeczną odpowiedzialność biznesu (corporate social responsibility – CSR)
THE EFFECT OF FACEBOOK AS MEDIA ON DESCRIPTIVE TEXT WRITING ACHIEVEMENT OF THE TENTH GRADE STUDENTS AT SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
No full textThe purpose of this research was to know whether or not the use of Facebook
as media has significant effect on descriptive text writing achievement. Based on the
aim of this research, the researcher used experimental research design. In this
research, there would be two variables; dependent and independent variable. The
dependent variable was the students‘ writing achievement, while the independent
variable was media Facebook. More specifically, this research would use quasiexperimental
research with post-test only control group design. The research subject
was the tenth grade students of SMAN 1 Gambiran. There were two kinds of data in
this research, primary and secondary data. The primary data was taken from the test.
It deals with students‘ English scores. Meanwhile, the secondary data was taken from
the results of writing test and observation. The collected data were analyzed
statistically by using t test formula. This analysis was useful to know whether the
mean difference was significant or not between the experimental group and the
control group.
Based on the result of data analysis, it can be said that using Facebook as
media in teaching learning process gave a significant effect on writing achievement
of the tenth grade students of senior high school. It was proved by the results of the
output of independent sample t-test by using SPSS on previous section, the
significant column value of t-test was 0.000 and it was less than 0.05. It indicated that
the result of t-test analysis was significant.
From table scores of posttest, it can be seen that the experimental group who
was taught writing by using Facebook as media in teaching learning process got
better scores compared to the control group who was taught writing without
Facebook. Based on the result, the students in the experimental group were more
active than the students in the control group. It happened because the students in the
experimental group were so interested in writing a descriptive text using Facebook
group. It helped them write the description easily.
It was suggested that the English teacher of the tenth grade of senior high
school apply Facebook as the teaching media, especially in teaching writing. It was
easier for students to organize their ideas especially in a descriptive text by using
Facebook. Besides, the use of Facebook as media in teaching learning process were
interesting and providing stimulus to the students for using language in productive
skills, especially in writing
Making A New Democracy Work : The Role of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Combating Corruption during Democratic Transition in Indonesia
Full text linkCorruption has often stimulated the collapse of authoritarian regimes and was followed by democratisation in a number of developing countries. Many new democratic regimes, however, have also been failed to control corruption because during the transition to democracy, their institutional structure of governance has typically not functioned well. In Indonesia too, corruption has been a highly pertinent issue that has both stimulated and compromised the regime‘s transition to democracy. This has provided a platform for civil society organisations (CSOs) to take an active political role. Yet insufficient empirical examination exists on the role of CSOs in combating corruption during democratic transition and the implication for democratisation.This thesis documents and critically examines the contribution of CSOs (more specifically anti-corruption CSOs) in Indonesia, an examination essential to the study of democratisation and anti-corruption efforts. It investigates how and to what extent CSOs can fight corruption during democratic transition. Owing to the ineffectiveness and unwillingness of the state, civil associations have undertaken initiatives in fighting and underscoring corruption into the domain of public debate. They work at two levels of battle: strategic and practical. At the strategic level, CSOs have contributed to the creation of the legal and institutional frameworks necessary for eradicating corruption. Many of their advocacies have brought about the creation of anti-corruption regulations and supervisory bodies to combat corruption. At the practical level, CSOs have organised social monitoring to call state officials to account. It has been CSOs that have mobilised the public to take civic action against corruption. By successfully taking a number of government officials and politicians to court, CSOs have also enhanced the legal system against corruption.Given the significance of the contribution of CSOs, this thesis argues that they have a real nascent force to advance democratisation: not only because the anti-corruption movement that they initiated has been instrumental in shaping political transformation, but they have also opened channels between the state and civil society that work as a system of accountability, part of a long-term project of establishing a democratic principle rooted in grassroots participation.This thesis argues, however, that despite their important role, the activities of CSOs have not been perfect and, accordingly, should not be interpreted as a panacea for all problems of corruption and democratisation. Therefore, it should be a concern for all the stakeholders involved – including the government, donor agencies, and the general public – to enhance the capacity of CSOs
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
