No full textMalaysia is one of the 12 countries with biodiversity. This biodiversity encompasses all aspects of life, such as terrestrial, aquatic systems, and ecological complexes, including the diversity between sepsis and ecosystems. The richness of diversity found in Malaysia is estimated at 60% to 70% of the world’s total biodiversity. This is very important to maintain because each sepsis interacts in a different chain system with each other. However, Malaysia is threatened with the extinction of this precious treasure. Various campaigns have been carried out but this issue never seems to end. Almost 14% of endangered animals in Malaysia are in critical condition. Among the endangered animals are the Malayan tiger, Sumatran rhinoceros, ants, turtles, orangutan, Borneo elephants, and tapirs. Greedy and irresponsible human attitudes are one of the leading causes of extinction. Among them is the large-scale clearing of land for agricultural, trade, and industrial development. In addition, unplanned development and illegal logging activities such as the felling of high-value trees in tropical rainforest markets have caused many animals to lose
Lakar Simpulan / Shafilla Subri and Wan Noor Faaizah Wan Omar
No full textThe metaphor is one of the epistemologies that underline the beauty of language in linguistic aspects. Through language appreciation, there is a lot of beautiful advice and messages that are conveyed that affect our daily lives. In the Malay world, there are many methods of delivering massage and advice, including through poetry, idioms, proverbs and many more. However for this project we choose idioms as our piece of art. When we talk about idioms it not only focuses on Malay world, but every language in this world has its own idiomatic language, which is that the objective and order still have the elements of advice and unique message. Idioms also could express the wisdom of philosophy and common sense in our community to convey a specific message politely. Idioms also describe the implicit meaning and complex implicit meaning of figurative language, especially proverbs and their relation to the thought to be expressed. Some examples of Malay idioms which are “ buah tangan” means gift or souvenir, “ulat buku” means diligent reading, “hidung tinggi” means arrogant and many more
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
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
