How Coffee Entrepreneurs in Kerinci Impact Local Economic Empowerment and Social Impact of Local Communities in terms of Financial Capital, Entrepreneurial Orientation, Government Policy and Entrepreneurial Ecosystem
Full text linkIn the Indonesian Kerinci region, this quantitative study explores the complex effects of coffee entrepreneurs on community well-being and local economic empowerment. This study examines the relationship between independent variables—financial capital, entrepreneurial orientation, government policy, and the entrepreneurial ecosystem—and their impact on dependent variables—entrepreneurial performance, economic empowerment, and community empowerment. It is based on the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory. A survey of 180 coffee entrepreneurs was conducted, and Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) was used to analyze the data. The findings supported the importance of this link by showing that government policies, financial resources, entrepreneurial orientation, and the entrepreneurial ecosystem all have a beneficial impact on entrepreneurial performance, which in turn promotes community and local economic empowerment. Policy makers, coffee entrepreneurs, and industry stakeholders can benefit greatly from the findings, which highlight the significance of resource allocation, entrepreneurial qualities, and a conducive ecology in augmenting Kerinci's socio-economic advancemen
The Effect of Marketing Capability and Financial Capability on Improving Coffee Commodity Performance and Implications for Value Added in Kerinci Regency
Full text linkThis research study investigates the effect of marketing capability and financial capability on improving coffee commodity performance and its implications for value added in Kerinci Regency. A quantitative research approach was used, and data were collected from 110 coffee industries through a structured survey. Data were analyzed using Smart-PLS 4 software, using confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis. The results showed significant positive relationships between marketing capability and coffee commodity performance, financial capability and coffee commodity performance, marketing capability and value-added, and financial capability and value-added. The findings highlight the importance of marketing capabilities and financial capabilities in improving coffee commodity performance and generating added value. This study provides practical implications for coffee industry stakeholders and suggests strategies to strengthen marketing and financial capabilities to improve performance and value creation in the coffee industry. However, it is important to consider the limitations of this study, such as the specific geographical context and reliance on self-reported data. Future research could replicate this study across different regions and use a mixed-methods approach to gain a more comprehensive understandin
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
