Dementia and dependency vs. proxy indicators of the Active Ageing Index in Indonesia
No full textDementia prevalence is increasing worldwide and developing countries are expected to carry the highest burden of this. Dementia has high care needs and no current effective long-term treatment. However, factors associated with active ageing (e.g., longer employment; participation in society; independent, healthy and secure living; and enabling environments to allow people to remain psychosocially and physically active) could help maintain independence in older people for longer. We investigated proxy indicators of the Active Ageing Index (AAI), which were offset against dementia and dependency (assessed by Instrumental Activities of Daily Living or IADL) in multi-ethnic urban (Jakarta) and rural (Sumedang and Borobudur) health care districts on Java, Indonesia. Dementia was assessed using validated cognitive dementia screening tests, the IADL and carer reports. Dementia and dependency prevalence showed large interregional differences and were highest in rural Borobudur. Dementia and dependency were associated with an older age, lower education (for dementia), worse physical health (for dependency) and not engaging in psychosocial activities, such as attending community events, reading (for dementia) and sport activities (for dependency). By supporting active ageing activities in Puskesmas (primary health care centers) and improving access to medical care, rural areas could possibly reduce dementia and dependency risk. Our follow-up study planned in 2021 should illustrate whether recent relevant policies have rendered success in these areas. Using active ageing indicators could focus policies to support regions with targeted interventions to compress care needs in older people
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

Pendapatan sering dijadikan tolak ukur dalam mengukur tingkat
kesejahteraan suatu masyarakat dan keberhasilan perekonomian suatu negara.
Bagi pengusaha pendapatan harus ditekan sedemikian rupa sehingga laba yang
diperoleh semakin besar guna mengembangkan usahanya dan meningkatkan
kesejahteraan karyawannya. Dalam hal ini BPRS Al-Salaam pun harus bersaing
dengan lembaga keuangan lainnya yang dominan dan telah berkembang pesat
guna mengembangkan pendapatan dan meningkatan kesejahteraan karyawannya.
Persaingan yang tajam ini harus diikuti dengan langkah-langkah strategi yang baik
untuk bisa bertahan di dunia bisnis, tak lupa pula untuk terus mengevaluasi agar
produk yang digunakan yaitu pembiayaan musyarakah terus berkembang sehingga
pendapatan BPRS Al-Salaam pun bertambah. Penelitian ini menggunakan
pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif yang mengorganisir semua data melalui observasi
dan wawancara langsung dengan karyawan BPRS Al-Salaam yang bersangkutan
dengan penelitian ini yang kemudian menjadi sumber data primer. Lalu
menggunakan alat analisis yaitu metode SWOT berupa tabel IFAS dan EFAS.
Dari hasil penelitian ini, penulis mendapatkan beberapa temuan, diantaranya
bahwa BPRS Al-Salaam belum memaksimalkan peluang-peluang yang ada,
seperti kurangnya promosi dan mengedukasi masyarakat mengenai pembiayaan
musyarakah, namun BPRS Al-Salaam memiliki kekuatan yaitu dari lokasi yang
strategis dan bank syariah lain masih sedikit yang melakukan akad musyarakah,
sehingga ini bisa dimanfatkan untuk terus mengembangkan pembiayaan
musyarakah dan pendapatan BPRS Al-Salaam bisa bertambah lebih pesat.
Terbukti dari data yang di peroleh penulis jumlah pendapatan BPRS Al-Salaam
dari pembiayaan musyarakah pada tahun 2015 naik 11,97% yaitu sebesar Rp
390.000.000,- pada tahun 2016 naik 88,03% yaitu sebesar Rp 2.867.602.495,-,
Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa adanya kenaikan pendapatan BPRS Al-Salaam dari
pembiayaan musyarakah pada tahun 2015 dan 2016 adalah sebesar Rp
3.257.602.495.

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
Analisis Rugi-Rugi Daya Akibat Beban Tidak Seimbang Pada Sutm 20 Kv Gardu Induk Pangkalan Brandan
No full textKetidakseimbangan beban pada suatu sistem jaringan distribusi tenaga
listrik selalu terjadi termasuk Saluran Udara Tegangan Menegah (SUTM) 20 KV
yang merupakan bagian dari penyaluran tenaga listrik. Dalam sistem penyaluran
tenaga listrik secara umum, sistem seimbang sangat sulit tercapai karena secara
geografis daerah kita belum merata sehingga jarak saluran dari pembangkitan
