Analisis perencanaan strategi sebagai upaya peningkatan pendapatan (studi kasus pada penjual kelapa ibu Tuminah di Madiun)
No full textPasar Kojo Madiun terdapat lima penjual kelapa, salah satu penjual tersebut adalah Ibu Tuminah. Dari lima penjual kelapa, Ibu Tuminah yang paling lama berjualan. Namun demikian posisi relatif usahanya berada di posisi dua. Melihat fenomena tersebut, peneliti menggunakan Matrik Profil Kompetitif untuk menentukan strategi apa yang digunakan agar usaha Ibu Tuminah naik posisi pertama dan memenangkan persaingan usaha. Selain itu, pendapatan dari usaha kelapa Ibu Tuminah selama enam bulan terakhir (Juli-Desember) tidak ada peningkatan. Lalu dilakukan analisis perencanaan strategi menggunakan Matrik SWOT dan Matrik Internal Eksternal untuk meningkatkan pendapatan usaha kelapa Ibu Tuminah. Dari analisis perencanaan strategi tersebut menghasilkan strategi kombinasi SO, WO, ST, WT, dan Growth Strategy dari perhitungan Matrik Internal Eksternal. Peneliti juga menganalisis limbah serabut kelapa dari usaha Ibu Tuminah untuk mendapatkan nilai tambah. Limbah tersebut diolah menjadi alternatif produk media tanam Cocopot, dari penjualan Cocopot Ibu Tuminah mendapatkan tambahan penghasilan sebesar Rp10.000 untuk satu Cocopot
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
IMPROVING STUDENTS’ VOCABULARY MASTERY USING BEYOND CENTERS AND CIRCLE TIME METHOD
No full textTuminah, S890907030: Improving Students’ Vocabulary Mastery Using Beyond Centers
and Circle Time Method (A Classroom Action Research in the Islam Kindergarten of
Fahimna Surakarta in the Academic Year 2008/2009). Surakarta: English Education
Department Graduate Program University of Sebelas Maret.
This thesis is written to improve the students’ vocabulary mastery. The problem
highlighted in this research is the low vocabulary mastery of Kindergarten students in
Fahimna Surakarta that is caused by (1) the students’ difficulties in understanding
meaning; (2) the students’ difficulties in using English words; (3) the students’
difficulties in pronouncing the words.
The research is conducted in three cycles from April 2008 to March 2009 in
group B of Islam Kindergarten of Fahimna Surakarta. The procedure of the research
consist of identifying the problem, planning the action, implementing the action,
observing the action, and reflecting the result of the research. In collecting the data, the
researcher uses observational technique supported with test. The researcher finds
quantitative data by doing the test. The tests are in the form of pre-test and post-test. In
finding qualitative data, the researcher does direct observation in the classroom,
interviews the teacher and the students. The quantitative data are analyzed by descriptive
statistics. The qualitative data are analyzed by Constant Comparative Method.
The result of the research shows that Beyond Center and Circle Time Method
(BCCT) can improve the students’ vocabulary mastery. There is significant improvement
in the result of pre-test and post-test of cycle one, two, and three. The mean in pre-test is
6.2. In cycle one the mean is 6.7, in cycle two the mean is 8.2, and in cycle 3 the mean
is 8.8. The data prove that BCCT method really improve the students’ vocabulary
mastery. First, they get vocabulary meaning from the main activities in the corner.
Second, their ability in pronouncing English words improves through presentation in the
circle time. Third, their ability in using English words improves through production
phase. Fourth, creating interesting activities in the corner can make the students
interested in learning English. Anyhow, there are some weaknesses of using BCCT
method. When the teacher doesn’t have an ability to manage the class well, the classroom
situation will be very crowded. If the teacher isn’t creative and innovative in creating
activities in the corner, some students don’t join in the corner’s activities. The teacher
should use interesting media, so that the students will be interested in joining English
lesson. The institution should prove the required facilities to support teaching and
learning process. The other researcher should prepare the planning of the research well
in order to get a good result. Besides, the researcher should learn the characteristics of
very young learners. Therefore, she/he will be able to overcome the problems related to
the students’ psychological. The teacher must not either stay in her chair or stand in one
place. The teacher has to give the instruction as explicit as possible. It will be better the
teacher uses Total Physical Response (TPR). The use of TPR will be easier for the
students to response the instruction. Through BCCT method, the students can play in the
corner while they are learning. The teacher should be creative and innovative in creating
activities in the corner to improve students’ vocabulary mastery
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
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
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
