    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

    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

    ABSTRACT One of the alternative financing projects that can be used is by issuing corporate bonds. Bonds experienced considerable progress as financial instruments in the period of 2000. Bonds were able to become one of the financing alternatives for projects and competitive against other sources of financing such as loans from conventional banks. One of the project issues is the delay in project financing is expected to be resolved by alternative financing through corporate bond issuance. Eureka Villa private project in this research will try to simulate its financing by using financing through corporate bond issuance. For this purpose, a financial feasibility analysis of the investment system will be conducted using funds from corporate bonds on villa operations. The principal amount of the bonds to be issued are IDR 80,000,000,000.00 with 7.5% coupon per annum payable every 6 months and redeem principal bonds with sinking fund each year over the life of the bonds of 10 years. Nominal investment receipts of IDR 16,000,000,000.00 or in lot units of 3200 lots carried out during the implementation of the project is 12 months assuming the receipt of investment funds 5 times every 3 months. Payment of interest coupon and principal redemption are payable after the villa commences operations on September 1, 2017 with annual payment of IDR 14,005,000,000.00. After calculating the NPV & IRR for the income and outcome of the villa with the source of the cost of the bonds obtained NPV = (-IDR 77,048,163,482.40 ) < 0 and IRR = 1.5 × 10-13% < MARR 12%, then the investment plan of Corporate Bonds on the construction project Eureka Villa Tuban - Bali using the NPV method and the IRR method is recommended "not feasible".

    One of the interesting natural attractions to visit in Bali is Balinese terraced rice fields and an agricultural irrigation system known as subak. Subak as an irrigation system, the subak system is continuously undergoing a transformation process because its environment influences it. UNESCO recognition is Cultural Landscape of Bali Province: Subak as Manifestation of Tri Hita Karana Philosophy. The meaning of UNESCO's recognition is that the philosophy of Tri Hita Karana (THK) is developing in Bali. At present, the rice field area managed by subak has decreased due to land conversion. Several rice fields have now changed their function to become residential, industrial, tourist facilities, and other uses. As an effort to prevent the degradation of subak conditions, the government has made various efforts but has not been able to overcome land conversion. This effort must be assisted by all elements of society so that subak consistency is maintained in Bali. One agency that focuses on subak conservation efforts is the Indonesian Heritage Preservation Agency (BPPI). BBPI routinely conducts subak schools through the Bali International Field School for Subak (BIFSS) activities. BBPI as a partner in this PKM publishes various books related to subak conservation. Education about subak is one of the efforts to preserve subak. The implementation of this collaboration involves FTP's involvement in the BIFSS 2021 activities, which will take place in December 2021 in Subak Selat, Karangasem Regency. From the discussions carried out, in an effort to preserve subak, a Map of the Subak Strait Area is needed, including mapping of paddy fields and irrigation infrastructure. This map forms the basis for the strategy for preserving and developing the Subak Strait as a tourist attraction as well as efforts to increase the value of Subak

    Usaha meningkatkan kapasitas infrastuktur dengan melakukan program kemitraan berupa Kerjasama Pemerintah Swasta (KPS) atau Kerjasama Pemerintah Badan Usaha (KPBU) dengan melibatkan pihak swasta dalam penyediaan infrastruktur publik. Peran serta pihak swasta pada program KPS dan KPBU akan mengalami risiko dalam kemitraan ini. Manajemen risiko sebagai sistem pengendalian internal membantu pencapaian sasaran proyek sebagai praktek tatakelola yang baik (Good Corparate Government), dalam hal ini risiko diterjemahkan sebagai segala ketidakpastian yang berpotensi menciptakan deviasi dalam mencapai sasaran. Pendekatan tertentu setiap risiko harus dapat terukur dari segi dampak (likehood) maupun memungkinan terjadinya, jadi dampak risiko tidak selamanya negatif tapi bisa menjadi positif ketika mendapatkan perlakuan alokasi risiko yang tepat. Analisis dampak risiko terhadap kinerja proyek , merujuk pada standard ISO 31000 (2018) disusun secara terintegrasi oleh PT. Penjaminan Infrastruktur Indonesia (PT. PII). Penelitian menggunakan metode house of risk ( HOR). Model dilaksanakan dengan simulasi untuk memprediksi hubungan variable-variabel risiko dengan varibel-varibel agen penyebab risiko. Hasil analisis menunjukkan variabel-variabel risiko yang dominan dengan sistem insentif sebagai imbal balik dalam peningkatan kinerja KPS dan KPBU adalah positif, salah satunya variabel yang dominan adalah variabel risiko pengadaan lahan mendapatkan imbal balik sistem insentif Sistem Insentif Bonus Efisiensi Pelaksanaan Proyek Berdasarkan inovasi Kontraktor

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    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

    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
