RELASI AGEN DAN STRUKTUR: RUANG NEGOSIASI DALAM PENGELOLAAN SUMBERDAYA HUTAN DI KABUPATEN LEBONG
Full text linkAbstract This paper draws on research concerned with relations between agents and structures in community-based forest management by bringing in Giddens’s theoretical framework on structuration. The research that this paper draws upon attempted to make visible the relations between state and local elite in opening negotiation spaces on existing forest management problems. The research was carried out in Ladang Palembang village, sub-district of Lebong Utara, Lebong district Bengkulu Province. Data were collected through observation, depth-interviewed, and documentation methods. Informants involved in the study were local informal and formal elites, state decision-makers on forest management, and organizations which are concerned with empowering local communities. The findings reveal that relations between local elites and government (state) have been able to open negotiate space relating to forest management. The relations between agents have produced and reproduced social structures relating to forest management. The structures consist of various institutions such as shared values, norms, and sanctions, social values, and ethics, formal regulations, and customs. The structures are aimed at meeting various agents’ needs and interests.

Kajian yang dilakukan bertujuan untuk memperjelas relasi antara negara dan elit lokal dalam membuka ruang negosiasi terkait dengan pengelolaan hutan yang ada. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Desa Ladang Palembang, Kecamatan Lebong Utara, Kabupaten Lebong, Provinsi Bengkulu. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan metode dokumentasi. Informan yang terlibat dalam penelitian ini adalah elit informal dan formal setempat, para pengambil keputusan tentang pengelolaan hutan, dan organisasi yang berkaitan dengan pemberdayaan masyarakat lokal. Temuan mengungkapkan bahwa hubungan antara elit lokal dan pemerintah (negara) telah mampu membuka ruang negosiasi yang berkaitan dengan pengelolaan hutan. Hubungan antara agen telah menghasilkan dan mereproduksi struktur sosial yang berkaitan dengan pengelolaan hutan. Struktur tersebut terdiri dari berbagai lembaga seperti nilai-nilai bersama, norma dan sanksi, nilai-nilai sosial dan etika, peraturan formal, adat istiadat, dan lain-lain. Struktur ini ditujukan untuk memenuhi berbagai kebutuhan dan kepentingan agen. Kata kunci: strukturasi, agen, struktur, elit lokal, hutan lindung, Lebon
Will Indigenous Ecological Knowledge Vanish? Assessing Persistence of the Celako kemali in Farming Practices among the Serawainese in Bengkulu, Indonesia
Full text linkIndonesia is home to many indigenous peoples who can preserve the environment through their traditions amid the increasing of external values and lifestyles’ penetration. The following presents the indigenous ecological knowledge of the Serawai people in the form of the celako kemali. Based on insights from the Indigenous research methods, this study aims first to assess the persistence of the celako kemali as a method for farming practices. Second, to identify transmission patterns of the celako kemali among generations in the Serawai community. This study found that there were 19 types of celako kemali. The current analysis demonstrates that, out of the 19 celako kemali, three types have been completely abandoned, five are still in use but with minor modifications, and eleven are still valid by established standards. The first generation acquires knowledge from their parents through the internalization process within the family. This first generation still preserves and maintains the 19 celako kemali daily farming activities. The second generation acquires knowledge through internalization within the family and horizontally by sharing experiences with other farmers, but horizontal channels are more dominant. This generation knows the 19 types of the celako kemali, although they dare to modify five types without losing the essence of their body of knowledge. The third generation acquires knowledge through vertical and oblique transmission, in which the oblique channel is predominant. This third generation learns a lot from village elders unrelated to the family, teachers, and mass media. However, this generation has abandoned completely three types of the celako kemali
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
