    The development of students' adaptive reasoning is a critical aspect of mathematics education, especially in preparing students to solve complex, real-world problems. The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of the Connected Mathematics Project (CMP) model in improving the adaptive reasoning of Class X students at SMK PP Negeri Kutacane. This study used a classroom action research approach, conducted over two cycles, each consisting of three meetings (6x45 minutes). Each cycle included four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. In Cycle I, the CMP model was implemented, and students worked on problems that encouraged adaptive reasoning. Cycle II followed the same structure, with continued use of the CMP model and a focus on evaluating student progress. The results showed a significant improvement in student learning outcomes, with the class average increasing from 53.71 in the pre-cycle to 61.38 in Cycle I and 84.19 in Cycle II. The percentage of learning completeness also improved, from 9% in the pre-cycle to 47.61% in Cycle I and 83.33% in Cycle II. This indicates that the CMP model effectively enhanced students' adaptive reasoning. The study concludes that the CMP model is a promising method for improving students' mathematical reasoning and learning outcomes, but further research is needed to explore its broader applications in other educational contexts

    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

    This study aims to determine the differences in increasing mathematical reasoning abilities and self-regulated learning through Think Pair Share (TPS) learning using Autograph and drawing tools. This type of research is a quasi-experimental. The population in this study were all students of class XI of SMA Negari 1 Lawe Alas totaling 60 students. The selection of research samples is determined by randomly selecting two classes. The instrument used in data collection consisted of tests of mathematical reasoning abilities and students' regulated learning. The test of learning outcomes in the form of essays that have been tested for validity, reliability, power difference, and level of difficulty.  Data analysis technique uses two-way ANOVA. The results showed that there were differences in increasing mathematical reasoning abilities and student regulated-learning through TPS learning using Autograph and drawing tools.In addition, there was an interaction between students' initial abilities with the TPS learning model using Autograph on students' mathematical reasoning abilities and students' reglated-learning.          &nbsp

    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    We 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
