COMPARISON OF RAINFALL DATA MANAGEMENT BETWEEN INDONESIA AND JAPAN
Get PDFPresident Joko Widodo administration has launched infrastructure megaprojects development in Indonesia such as build of 3,733 kilometers of new toll roads, 49 dams, bridges, and mega power plant projects with a total capacity of 35,000 megawatts. Civil construction requires rainfall data to design road drainage channel, to calculate reservoir water level fluctuations, to determine the distance between the bottom of the bridge and the water surface, to simulate flood, and to manage water resources. As rainfall data has an important role in infrastructure development, this study aims to compare the rainfall data quality and the ease of access to get that data based on case study between Japan and Indonesia by doing literature review. Results showed that in Japan, hourly rainfall data can be easily and freely accessed from Water Information System website provided by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transportation, and Tourism. Flood warning also can be simply accessed in Japan Meteorological Agency website. In Indonesia, hourly rainfall data is not available in the website, thus users need to submit an official request for obtaining the data. Comprehensiveness of data is questionable. Thus, data management including adding observatory facilities should be improved to support acceleration of infrastructure development in Indonesia
PENINGKATAN KUALITAS INSINYUR MELALUI SERTIFIKASI INSINYUR PROFESIONAL
Get PDFMasyarakat Ekonomi Asean (MEA) yang berlaku sejak 2015 lalu membuka peluang yang besar bagi tenaga kerja asing untuk mengisi berbagai macam profesi di Indonesia. Berdasarkan Peraturan Menteri Riset, Teknologi, Dan Pendidikan Tinggi Nomor 35 Tahun 2016 Tentang Penyelenggaraan Program Studi Program Profesi Insinyur (PSPPI), Kemenristekdikti memberikan mandat kepada 40 Perguruan Tinggi se-Indonesia untuk membuka PSPPI. Persatuan Insinyur Indonesia yang memiliki kewenangan untuk mengeluarkan sertifikat insinyur profesional telah melakukan sosialiasi ke banyak perguruan tinggi untuk membuka PSPPI tersebut sehingga menghasilkan insinyur profesional yang dapat bersaing dengan tenaga kerja asing. Akan tetapi manfaat dari program sertifikasi ini masih dipertanyakan oleh para insinyur yang belum tersertifikasi. Tujuan dari penulisan naskah ini untuk menginformasikan kegunaan sertifikat insinyur profesional di luar negeri, kendala penyelenggaraan sertifikasi insinyur profesional di Indonesia, dan masukan untuk proses penyelenggaraan sertifikasi tersebut. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa di luar negeri, hanya insinyur yang memiliki gelar Professional Engineer (PE) yang berhak untuk melakukan design approval yang mana proses untuk mendapatkan gelar PE tersebut harus memenuhi beberapa syarat termasuk lolos ujian tertulis dan wawancara. Salah satu masukan, PSSPI dirancang untuk memberikan porsi yang cukup besar untuk magang kerja di perusahaan-perusahaan sehingga dapat mencapai kompetensi yang diharapkan. Pemerintah perlu mengeluarkan Peraturan Pemerintah untuk mengatur fungsi sertifikat insinyur profesional
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
