The Local Tradition of Gorontalo and Health Anthropology: Gorontalo’s Experience in Addressing the COVID-19 Pandemic
Full text linkThis paper explores the overlapping consensus between indigenous kinship practices and the spread of diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the community’s way of life and behaviour, yet Gorontalo’s indigenous kinship-based traditions contradict the implemented health protocols. Due to their foundation in the kinship system (ngala’a), these traditions necessitate everyday interactions among individuals. The clash between local traditions and health procedures leads to the widespread transmission of Covid-19. This research argues that relying on Gorontalo’s traditions would increase the likelihood of community exposure to COVID-19, as shown by descriptive analysis. Therefore, it is fundamental to reassess the significance of traditions during the Covid-19 pandemic
PEMBERDAYAAN MASYARAKAT KAMPUNG CUMI BERBASIS POTENSI LOKAL
No full textCommunity service in Kampung Cumi, Langgula Village, Batudaa Pantai Sub-district, Gorontalo Regency, aims to empower the community through the utilization of local potential, especially in processing squid as a superior product. This activity involves training on squid processing skills into various innovative products, such as squid sticks and squid chili sauce, which are expected to increase added value and community income. The results of the community service activities showed an increase in community knowledge and skills in product processing and marketing. Training participants reported an increased understanding of good processing techniques and effective marketing strategies. In addition, the training also covered aspects of business management, allowing the community to be more independent in managing their business. This activity not only improves individual skills, but also encourages the formation of business groups that can collaborate in marketing products more widely. With the support of digital marketing, processed squid products from Kampung Cumi began to be recognized in a wider market, thus increasing the economic potential of the village. Thus, this service succeeded in creating a positive impact on the Kampung Cumi community by increasing skills, knowledge, and income, and strengthening economic independence based on local potential

University doesn’t die yet: A perspective from Gorontalo State University (UNG) towards the social welfare in Gorontalo
No full textIn the Dark Academia: How University Die, Peter Fleming responses the current condition of university is already destructed by the impact of the bureaucratic and neoliberal structures of academia in which, has turned universities into a toxic place. He argues that university nowadays has loss its intellectual environment promised as guardian of reasons, philosophical openness and preserving pure inquiry of the public. Though Fleming is right in some cases but this argument cannot be taken for granted as well as generalized as the pin-point conclusion due to the lack of representations against universities which still hold their commitment to bring changes in the society. This paper argues that university does not die yet by exploring the role of Gorontalo State University as a key institution in providing services in societies and assisting public policies relating to the social and economical problems faced by the government. This research is based on the empirical studies with qualitative method during three-year of UNG’s involvement (2019-2021) toward the social welfare in Gorontalo. It is intended to see how the university, though facing many challenges both internal and external, but always keeping its eyes on the table to address challenges in the society
Social Policy for Decent Housing Assistance for Low-Income Households in Gorontalo City
No full textThe Livable Housing Program, also known as Mahyani, is a government initiative designed to assist low-income households (referred to as RTM) who own properties that do not fulfil the required standards for habitation. The primary objective of the Livable Housing Program is to implement a housing framework that enhances the quality of living for the community, hence fostering improved comfort and well-being. Furthermore, the provision of habitable homes enables the community to contemplate the expansion of their entrepreneurial pursuits. The primary aims of this study are to gain insights into the process of formulating the Livable Housing Program by the local government of Gorontalo City, Indonesia, assess the level of community involvement in the program’s development and implementation, and examine the response of the community (as beneficiaries) towards the Livable Housing Program initiated by the Gorontalo City government. This study utilizes a qualitative technique, specifically employing a policy analysis approach, and adopts a descriptive strategy to investigate the research question. The data gathering methodologies employed in this study encompass observation, interviews, and document analysis specifically pertaining to the program. The research findings suggest that the execution of the Mahyani home building program is currently facing operational challenges. These include the significant delays encountered in the distribution of building supplies and the situation where some beneficiaries are still awaiting assistance, albeit with hopeful expectations of receiving it in due course. The replies from the beneficiaries indicate that they perceive the advantages of the Livable Housing Program implemented by the local government. With the provision of housing support, individuals are now able to inhabit their residences, notwithstanding any discrepancies between the building and their original expectations

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
