Variations on the Author
No full text“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
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Time-dependent fatigue reliability assessment of Ting Kau Bridge based on weigh-in-motion data
No full textAn advanced probabilistic loading model is proposed in this paper to simulate the vehicles running along Ting Kau Bridge based on the weigh-in-motion system installed on the bridge. The weigh-in-motion system collects the information of vehicle speed, heading direction, lane used, axle weight, axle spacing between neighboring axles, etc. The data are employed to develop a statistical traffic load model which is able to incorporate the variation of daily traffic flow within different time intervals and the trend of the annual traffic flow as well as the statistical information. The time-dependent fatigue reliability assessment at critical locations can be carried out.link_to_OA_fulltex

The ‘Ting-ting Game’ as Psychology Intervention to Mitigate Vowel Reading Skill among Remedial Pupils
No full textIntroduction: Education in Malaysia has undergone various changes. However, problems in basic skills such as reading, writing, and counting still need to be improved. Therefore, every primary school under Malaysian Ministry of Education holds the Special Remedial Program. This program is essential, and remedial pupils\u27 development needs to be emphasized. The ability of a teacher to plan an effective intervention in line with technological progress is vital. In addition, the learning atmosphere can not only improve the performance of remedial pupils, but it is fun and provides memories that remain in the memory of remedial students for a long time. Therefore, an innovation as an intervention is carried out. The effectiveness of invention that uses ‘Ting-Ting Game’ games in students’ learning has been analysed and studied.
Objectives: This paper conducted to identifying the level of mastery of Malay language vowel skills among remedial students before using the ‘Ting-Ting Game’, identifying the level of effectiveness of the ‘Ting-Ting Game’ in improving the vowel skills of Remedial Malay Language among remedial pupils and explaining teaching reflection using the ‘Ting-Ting Game’ in improving the vowel skills of the Remedial Malay Language among remedial pupils.
Methods: This action research uses qualitative method. Therefore, worksheets, pre-post-tests, field notes and observation checklists were analysed descriptively. Before conducting the study, all instruments were validated by expert, and a pilot study was conducted. Worksheets are to support pre-post-tests. The results of the analysis of worksheets and tests will be compared to prove the effectiveness of the intervention. The worksheet is supported by observational findings using a structured observational checklist. Then, the teaching checklist is also used as a support for the effectiveness of interventions and improvements to the implementation of teaching by teacher. Field note are used as a supporting document. Purposive sampling was used to identify the participants. Three remedial pupils were involved because they met the purpose and the characteristics of the study that had been set. The research data has been analysed and presented in the form of data to facilitate descriptive explanation.
Results: The mastery level of study participants in vowel skills before the intervention was at a very weak mastery level. This is proven by the test analysis, which shows that all study participants do not have high scores and show a fragile level of mastery. Using a checklist, the researcher observed that an increase in mastery occurs among pupils from the first action to the last. The analysis of field notes also shows an increase in positive themes that show the effectiveness of the ‘Ting-Ting Game’ in increasing Remedial Malay language vowel skills recovery from the first act to the last act. As a reflection of the teacher, the researcher found that the ‘Ting-Ting Game’ can increase remedial students\u27 mastery of vowel skills and motivation to learn, and classroom management is more organized. In addition, teachers are also more confident and can carry out teaching smoothly. Data have shown that the ‘Ting-Ting Game’ effectives is on the moderate level and can be fixed occasionally. For better result, teacher must conduct the intervention more than one action circle.
Conclusions: Using the ‘Ting-Ting Game’ game makes students more enthusiastic about mastering vowel skills. The ‘Ting-Ting Game’ must be used appropriately and improved occasionally to impact the remedial pupils. This traditional game also strengthens the teacher\u27s pedagogy and expands the teaching method to attract more interest. The innovation of this conventional game proves that teaching and learning can create a more cheerful atmosphere and give pupils meaningful memories.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
