Values of penang botanic gardens as green space to users / Mohd Ali Waliyuddin A Razak
Full text linkThe increasing number of botanic gardens in Malaysia indicate they are really important to people thus making them one of the most visited green spaces. A common perception on botanic gardens management in Malaysia is that educational values are the main attraction among their users but this assumption is not always correct. Lack of studies related to other values in botanic gardens contribute to the misunderstanding of the present role of botanic gardens as green space to users. The aim of the research is to determine the values that contribute to the success of botanic gardens as a green space Hence, this study looks into other values in botanic gardens that are positively related to users' visitation motivation. Based on the value ranking results, the recreational and leisure values with the cumulative mean of 4.14 were deemed the most important values followed by social value at 3.96 , visual value at 3.90 and the educational value as the lowest among its visitors with a cumulative mean of 3.66. This shows that the educational value is not the most important value among its users. In term of demographic variables, results show that demographic factors affect the findings minimally. For the important values of the Penang Botanic Gardens and the reasons for visiting the gardens, the demographic variable of occupation (Table 4.14 and Table 4.23) shows more significant differences compared to other demographic variables. Meanwhile, for visual assessment the variable race (Table 4.29) displays more significant differences compared to the others variables. This study also provides ideas and guidelines on how the botanic gardens management can identify the most vital values, hence providing the best facilities and services for botanic garden users and to increase visitation
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
THE EFFECT OF USING DIGITAL STORYTELLING ON STUDENTS’ SPEAKING SKILL OF THE SECOND GRADE AT SMP N TAHFIDZ MADANI PASIR PENGARAIAN
Full text linkABSTRAK
Taufiqul Hakim Waliyuddin Fathurrahman Al Furqon, (2024) : Pengaruh
Penggunaan Digital Storytelling Terhadap
Keterampilan Berbicara Siswa Kelas Dua di SMP N
Tahfidz Madani Pasir Pengaraian.
Penelitian ini dilaksanakan berdasarkan permasalahan yang dihadapi siswasiswa
seperti tidak memiliki rasa percaya diri karena kurangnya keberanian siswa,
strategi guru yang membosankan, keterbatasan kosakata, merasa ragu untuk
menyampaikan ide karena kemampuan komprehensi yang rendah, pengucapan yang
eror, dan kurangnya partisipasi. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk
mengetahui keterampilan berbicara siswa yang diajarkan tanpa dan dengan
menggunakan Digital Storytelling, untuk mengetahui apakah ada perbedaan yang
signifikan pada keterampilan berbicara siswa yang diajarkan dengan dan tanpa
menggunakan Digital Storytelling pada siswa kelas dua SMP N Tahfidz Madani Pasir
Pengaraian. Dalam penelitian quasi experimental ini, penulis menggunakan Total
sampling sebagai teknik pengambilan sampel. Total keseluruhan populasi sebanyak
53 siswa. Di mana kelas VIII B sebagai kelas eksperimen dengan jumlah 28 siswa,
dan kelas VIII A sebagai kelas kontrol dengan jumlah 25 siswa. Jadi, total sampel
sebanyak 53 siswa. Untuk mengumpulkan data, peneliti menggunakan tes berbicara
untuk mengetahui keterampilan siswa dalam berbicara. Peneliti menggunakan
Independen Sampel T-test dalam menganalisis data yang menunjukkan adanya
perbedaan yang jelas terhadap keterampilan berbicara siswa yang tidak diajarkan dan
diajarkan dengan menggunakan Digital Storytelling, di mana Sig (2-tailed) memiliki
nilai 0.000 lebih rendah dari 0.05, maka Hₒ diterima dan Hₐ ditolak
