PENERAPAN PARTICIPATORY TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT (PTD) UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KAPASITAS PETANI DAN ADOPSI TEKNOLOGI TERPADU JAGUNG DAN TERNAK SAPI DI SULAWESI SELATAN
No full textSuatu teknologi dapat diadopsi oleh petani jika kapasitas petani selaras dengan teknologi tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kapasitas petani dan adopsinya terhadap teknologi terpadu jagung dan ternak sapi. Pada tahun pertama, tujuan yang akan dicapai adalah menganalisis potensi, permasalahan, kebutuhan dan indigenous technology yang dimiliki petani dalam mendukung penerapan teknologi terpadu jagung dan ternak sapi. Output tahun pertama adalah melahirkan sintesis technology atas dasar potensi yang dimiliki, permasalahan yang dihadapi dan kebutuhan yang dirasakan dan dikembangkan selaras dengan indigenous technology yang diketahui petani. Metode yang digunakan untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut adalah menggunakan metode modifikasi PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal) seperti survey partisipatif, participatory mapping dan indepth interview. Pada tahun kedua, sintesis teknologi yang dihasilkan diujicoba pada level usaha tani. Petani akan merencanakan, melaksanakan dan mengevaluasi pelaksanaan teknologi terpadu jagung dan ternak sapi. Output yang diharapkan adalah lahirnya teknologi yang telah diadaptasikan pada level usahatani. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian di level usahatani dimana petani yang melaksanakan langsung teknologi tersebut dan evaluasi partisipatif dimana insturmen evaluasi dibangun secara partisipatif. Instrumen evaluasi terdiri dari evaluasi aspek sosial, ekonomi, manajemen, ketersediaan tenaga kerja dan kelayakan teknis pelaksanaan teknologi terpadu jagung dan ternak sapi
PENERAPAN FARMER PARTICIPATORY RESEARCH UNTUK MENINGKATKAN ADOPSI DAN PENDAPATAN PETERNAK SKALA KECIL GUNA MENDUKUNG USAHA DANGKE SUSU DI KABUPATEN ENREKANG
No full textPelaksanaan penyuluhan selama ini didominasi oleh pola penyuluhan top down yang lemah dalam adopsi, tidak efisien dan sentralistik. Paradigma ini perlu dibalik menuju penyuluhan bottom up yang mampu meningkatkan adopsi teknologi, efisien dan partisipatif. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah 1) merumuskan potensi, permasalahan, dan kebutuhan teknologi peternak menurut perspektif mereka, 2) mengukur efektifitas adopsi teknologi serta peningkatan pendapatan peternak yang mendapat terpaan penyuluhan partisipatif. Metode yang digunakan untuk mencapai tujuan pertama adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan memodifikasi metode Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA). Potensi pakan diketahui melalui metode participatory mapping dan focus group discussion (FGD). Permasalahan dan kebutuhan diukur dengan menggunakan metode preference ranking dari peternak sentra dan non sentra serta suami dan istri peternak. Tujuan kedua dicapai menggunakan metode Farmer Participatory Research yang diawali dengan merancang penelitian, melaksanakan, mengukur dampak bagi peternak partisipatif dan non partisipatif, serta mengukur tingkat adopsi dan pendapatan peternak. Hasil tahun pertama adalah daerah sentra memiliki kelimpahan pakan sumber hijauan sementara daerah non sentra berlimpah dalam pakan sumber konsentrat. Tidak ada perbedaan preferensi kebutuhan teknologi antara suami dan istri, namun mereka berbeda dalam penentuan masalah. Istri cenderung lebih mengutamakan pakan murah sementara suami memilih teknologi pakan yang memudahkan dalam manajemen pakan kaitannya dengan kemudahan pengelolaan. Teknologi yang dipilih untuk diteliti tidak berbeda di daerah sentra maupun non sentra yaitu ramuan pakan komplit dengan menggunakan pakan lokal. Terjadi peningkatan pendapatan peternak yang disebabkan karena peningkatan jumlah dangke serta penurunan biaya produksi. Tingkat adopsi teknologi oleh peternak yang berpartisipasi signifikan lebih tinggi dibanding dengan peternak yang tidak berpartisipasi
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
