Hugo Chavez: Malaikat dari Selatan
No full textRafael Hugo Chavez Frias adalah jawaban untuk kerinduan umat manusia pada cinta, kebersamaan, dan keyakinan untuk bebas dari tirani. Dia cakap menempatkan kemanusiaan pada posisi yang paling akurat. Dia tahu cara menaruh harga diri manusia dengan tepat, agar tak tercaplok keserakahan modal yang menghajar hak asasi hingga terpincang-pincang.Ketika Kahlil Gibran mengejawantahkan cintanya pada puisi-puisi, El Commandante berpuisi dalam perbuatan; ketika menggelontor korban tsunami Aceh dan gempa Haiti dengan bantuan yang besarnya "keterlaluan", memapah Jamaika yang diamuk utang 16 triliun dolar Amerika, hingga merangkul Mahmud Ahmadinejad yang kesepian akibat hoax program senjata nuklir, di Iran sana. El Commandante bukan sekadar manusia sekadarnya. Dia adalah sahabat paling tepat bagi umat yang mendamba hidup bermartabat. Dia adalah malaikat pemberontak yang tak pernah rela jika ada manusia yang harus hidup di bawah rumbia, dalam dinding pohon kelapa, yang beralas lantai tanah telanjang
The wisdom of Pramoedya Ananta Toer
No full textPRAMOEDYA ANANTA TOER takkan padam ditelan angin, akan abadi, sampai jauh, jauh di kemudian hari.Kuasa waktu memang telah mengakhiri lakon tubuhnya di muka bumi dan kehidupan, namun ruh dalam tulisan-tulisannya, kalimat-kalimatnya, kata-katanya, petuah-petuahnya, akan senantiasa hidup dan menyisir zaman, tinggal dalam akal dan hati orang-orang yang masih peduli pada kemanusiaan, keadilan, keberanian, dan cinta.Pram menulis, sebab itu ia abadi; dalam ingatan anak-anak bangsa yang masih peduli dan mengerti bahwa untuk bangsa sebesar Indonesia, harga diri wajib dipunyai. "Apakah sebangsamu akan kau biarkan terbungkuk-bungkuk dalam ketidaktahuannya? Siapa bakal memulai kalau bukan kau?"Pram selalu mengajak kita agar selalu menjadi musuh ketidakadilan, penindasan dan kebodohan. Sebab, "Dunia ini bukan surga. Ketidakadilan ada untuk dilawan. Itu memberikan semangat hidup."Ia adalah pengarang besar dalam sejarah sastra Indonesia. Lebih dari 50 karya ia hasilkan, hampir semuanya diterjemahkan ke dalam lebih dari 41 bahasa asing. Pram lahir di Blora, Jawa Tengah, 6 Februari 1925. Ayahnya guru, ibunya penjual nasi. Ia pernah bekerja sebagai juru ketik untuk surat kabar Jepang, Domei. Ia tergabung dalam militer dalam masa kemerdekaan. Sepanjang menjalani karier militernya dan ketika dipenjara Belanda di Jakarta pada 1948-1949, ia produktif menulis. Pada 1950-an ia tinggal di Belanda, sebagai bagian dari program pertukaran budaya. Ketika kembali ke Indonesia ia menjadi anggota Lekra, sebuah organisasi seniman kiri. Pada masa pergantian rezim, Pram termasuk orang yang "diamanken" Orba. Ia dipenjara 14 tahun di Pulau Buru dan Nusa Kambangan tanpa pengadilan. Selama di penjara ia terus menulis. Salah satu karya monumentalnya di masa itu adalah Tetralogi Pulau Buru. Ia bebas dari penjara pada 1979, tapi dikenakan tahanan rumah, tahanan kota, dan tahanan negara hingga 1999. Selama dalam pengawasan, Pram tetap aktif menulis. Ia meninggal di Jakarta, 30 April 2006 dalam usia 81 tahun.Membaca (karya) Pramoedya sama halnya membaca sejarah berdirinya sebuah bangunan bernama Indonesia. Karya-karyanya tidak berlagak genit dengan mencoba memberikan segerobak solusi dari setiap persoalan yang ada di negeri ini. Tetapi, lebih dari itu: sebagai cara pandang kita dalam melihat Indonesia dari kacamata yang paling jujur. The Wisdom of Pramoedya Ananta Toer mencoba mengajak kita menelusuri karakter manusia-manusia Indonesia, sebagai bagian dari material utama atas bangunan yang tak pernah selesai dipugar. Dan Pram telah berdiri sebagai salah seorang arsiteknya!xxiii + 333 hlm.; illus. 14,5 x 23 c
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
