    Kertas ini merupakan satu kajian terhadap golongan anak-anak hasil perkahwinan antara orang keturunan Cina dan India. Tujuan diadakan penyelidikan ini ialah untuk melihat cara hidup serta pandangan golongan ini. Selain daripada merupakan satu kurnpulan minoriti, mereka juga boleh dianggap sebagai golongan marginal (pinggiran). Kertas penyelidikan ini terdiri daripada enam bab. Bab I adalah pengenalan terhadap topik ini. Ia juga membincangkan tujuan kajian, metod dan masalah yang dihadapi. Juga diselitkan teori-teori manusia marginal oleh beberapa ahli sosiologi. Bab II membincangkan masyarakat Malaysia di dalam konteks golongan Sino-Indian. Bab III pula melihat pengaruh keluarga ke atas masyarakat Sino-Indian. Kumpulan etnik, agama dan tahap pendidikan ibubapa juga dikaji di dalam mempengaruhi anak-anak Sino-Indian. Bab IV adalah mengenai pengaruh rakan-rakan dari sekolah rendah sehingga peringkat universiti. Reaksi rakan-rakan terhadap marginaliti Sino-Indian dan respon Sino-India terhadap reaksi ini juga dilihat. Bab V membincangkan sikap dan persepsi Sino-Indian serta pengalaman-pengalaman mereka

    Enhanced morphology and mechanical characteristics of clay/styrene butadiene rubber nanocomposites

    Achieving complete exfoliation of clay in their polymer nanocomposite is a matter of interest as it can significantly affect the material properties. Herein, an efficient way of enhancing the interlayer spaces of organically modified clays (OC) containing two types of surfactants, benzyl methyl hydrogenated tallow (Cloisite 10A) and dimethyl dihydrogenated tallow (Cloisite 20A) while mixing with the styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) is reported. The prolonged swelling of the OC in toluene helped the rubber chains to disentangle in the interlayer spaces identifiable from the morphology and the change of the d-value. The small angle X-ray scattering traces for all the Cloisite 20A/SBR composites indicated a very extensive dispersion of the OC and using the Guinier equation from SAXS, radius of gyration was calculated. An optimal size of 6–7 nm for the dispersed clay particles was found for maximizing resistance to abrasion as well as mechanical properties. Finally the enhanced tensile properties were correlated with the vulcanization behavior as well as the filler/polymer interfacial interaction from rheology through the completely exfoliated morphology observed for the swollen clay filled samples. Moreover an exclusive mechanism for curing of the composites was also derived

    Deux générations sont passées avant elle par le réduit où Usha Devi écoule ses journées, depuis plus de vingt-cinq ans, à trier les ordures, près de Connaught Place. Une photo de sa belle-mère décédée est accrochée à un mur parmi des illustrations de divinités hindoues. Son mari est mort en 2008. Usha Devi raconte avoir élevé ses sept enfants avec le revenu qu’elle tire du recyclage du papier, du carton, du plastique, du verre… A marié trois filles. Les autres sont encore à l’école. « Ce n’es..

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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
