Case Study : SimplySiti / Wan Siti Hasni Wan Min
Get PDFThe case study brings our product to life. An entrepreneur use them to show how their product or service has been implemented successfully by customers. A lot of entrepreneur make the mistake of talking about themselves too much, especially on their websites. Instead of simply talking about a product, case studies allow entrepreneur to show how their product can be used.The main purpose of this case study is to evaluate the company’s background, company’s analysis and company’s problems which has been provided by management. Because of Covid-19 pandemic and we are in PKP, the method that I had to do about my case study is researching information from internet and review from people who already purchased and use that product.Based on the findings during a google search, I have decided to choose SimplySiti as my case study. SimplySiti is a cosmetics and skin care products founded by a Malaysian artiste, Siti Nurhaliza in March 2010 with the headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.The brand’s name was derived from the word “simplicity” Siti was personally involved with the promotion of the products including starring in the product's television commercials and touring malls around Malaysia where she also released a theme song for the SimplySiti products, Rahsiaku Kini Milikmu (It Used To Be My Secret, Now It's Yours).The cosmetics are produced in Korea with the incorporation of nanotechnology.. Before being released into the market, SimplySiti received Halal status from Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM) officials who visited the factory in Korea to inspect every aspect of the production with strict regulations to ensure the products are Halal
Reflections of a reformed jihadist : the story of Wan Min Wan Mat
No full textOn 29 August 2012, a rehabilitated former senior member of the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) terror network, Wan Min Wan Mat, delivered a lecture to a group of Malaysian counter-terrorism practitioners in which he sketched out the ideological rationale and aims of the JI network, unpacked in some detail its recruitment and indoctrination philosophy and methodology and also examined what in his personal view are potentially useful strategies for rehabilitating JI militants or preventing the further dissemination of JI extremist ideas. This article examines and evaluates some of the key insights made by Wan Min in his lecture, and argues that his musings are more than mere historical interest in that they have direct relevance to the current struggle against the latest incarnation of the continually evolving violent jihadist threat in Southeast Asia and globally, namely the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS or IS). The central reason for this is that the same broad ideology that animated JI — Salafi Jihadism — basically motivates ISIS as well. Hence, even allowing for dissimilarities in time and space, Wan Min’s insights about JI could well provide useful pointers for counter-terrorism practitioners and specialists dealing with the ISIS threat today.Published versio
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
Prediction of forming limit for sheet metals between equi-biaxial tension and uniaxial tension using a new ductile fracture criterion
No full textAccurately predicting the forming limit (FL) of sheet metals between equi-biaxial tension (EBT) and uniaxial tension (UT) is a research focus in sheet metal forming field. However, up to now, there is still a lack of an uncoupled ductile fracture criterion (DFC) which not only can predict the FL of sheet metals between EBT and UT accurately but also can be easily extended to other DFCs for bulk and sheet metals, preventing embedding only one uncoupled DFC into finite element analysis (FEA) software to satisfy the application requirements of fracture initiation prediction within different stress state ranges. The aim of this paper is to address the issue. The problems encountered in recently developed DFCs are firstly revealed and then a new uncoupled DFC is presented according to the analyses of void evolution of sheet metals. To fully understand the proposed DFC, parametric studies are conducted. In addition, the proposed DFC and four recently developed DFCs are employed to forecast the FL strains of three different sheet metals and the extensibility of the proposed DFC is studied. Research results show that the proposed DFC can not only forecast the FL of various sheet metals between EBT and UT reasonably but can also be easily extended to a unified uncoupled DFC for bulk and sheet metals, enabling the implantation of one DFC into FEA software to meet the application requirements within different stress state ranges. Moreover, the capability of the presented DFC to forecast FL in actual forming process is also verified.
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
