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

Get PDFTo reduce the number of crimes or criminal acts, various sanctions are determined by the state, one of which is corporal punishment. Sanctions of imprisonment by the state for perpetrators of crimes or criminal acts aim to provide a deterrent effect to the person concerned and other people. Reintegration or social reintegration is a process in which a person sentenced to corporal confinement according to state law, after fulfilling certain requirements, returns to life in society.
This community service activity was carried out in the form of training, which was held in the Class 1 Tangerang Correctional Center (Bapas). The training participants were correctional clients of the Bapas.
The implementation method used was participatory. Based on this method, the training participants were invited to be actively involved in the delivery and discussion of the training materials.
The training given to correctional clients at the Class 1 Tangerang Correctional Center (Bapas) was interpersonal skills training. The aim of the training is to provide correctional clients with the knowledge and ability to build good relationships with other people in the community.To reduce the number of crimes or criminal acts, various sanctions are determined by the state, one of which is corporal punishment.

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
Strategi pengembangan daya saing industri asam lemak dan alkohol lemak berbasis minyak kelapa sawit di indonesia
Get PDFIndonesia is the largest CPO (Crude Palm Oil) and CPKO (Crude Palm Kernel Oil) producer in the world. Indonesia has been producing around 40 palm oil-based products, while Malaysia has been producing more than 100 palm oil-based products. Indonesia exports more CPO and CPKO whereas Malaysia mainly exports derivative products of CPO and CPKO (including oleochemicals).
Oleochemicals are chemicals derived from natural oils or fats (from plants or animals). Basic oleochemicals consist of fatty acids, fatty alcohols, methyl esters, fatty amines, and glycerol. Raw materials being used in the production of oleochemicals are tallow, stearin (derivative products of CPO), and lauric oil (CPKO and coconut oil).
This study focuses on Indonesian palm oil-based fatty acid and fatty alcohol industry since Indonesia is the largest CPO and CPKO producer in the world, fatty acids and fatty alcohols are the most important basic oleochemicals in term of production and consumption, both are the most widely used oleochemicals, and fatty alcohols can be produced from fatty acids (called fatty acid route) so that both is better studied together even though their applications and markets are different.
The aim of this study is to identify and examine factors affecting the performance of Indonesian palm oil-based fatty acid and fatty alcohol industry and to develop a competitiveness model of the industry based on Industrial Organization (IO) theory, especially the Porter Diamond concept. The aim of this study is also to determine priority management of the industry based on gap analysis between the current and ideal (future) conditions of the industry, using competitiveness framework being developed by International Institute for Management Development (IMD) and World Economic Forum (WEF). The aim of this study is also to identify, analyze, and sythesize main problems in developing the competitiveness of the industry, using competitiveness framework being developed by IMD and WEF, and analytic network process (ANP) method. The final aim of this study is to analyze best strategy in developing the competitiveness of the industry, using ANP-BOCR (Benefits, Opportunities, Costs, Risks) method.
This study used literature review, descriptive analysis, in-depth interview, and questionnaire (based on Likert scale of 1–9) methods to gather opinions from the experts and/or practitioners (15 persons) on the current and ideal (future) conditions of the industry. The experts and/or practitioners were selected by purposive sampling method from the supply chain of Indonesian palm oil-based fatty acid and fatty alcohol industry. Questionnaires were developed by using competitiveness framework being developed by IMD and WEF, and ANP method. The non-parametric Mann-Whitney test was used to assess the differences between both conditions.
The results of this study show that according to the competitiveness model of Indonesian palm oil-based fatty acid and fatty alcohol industry, there are some sub-factors whose status of ‘good’ and the other sub-factors are still at ‘poor’ status. The ‘poor’ sub-factors apparently are weaknesses and must be improved as soon as possible.
The results of this study also show that the biggest gap between the current and ideal (future) conditions of the industry, using IMD competitiveness framework is government efficiency while the smallest gap is business efficiency. The results of this study also show that the gap for total factors using IMD competitiveness framework is 27.84%. It means that the current condition of the industry on the way towards a highly competitive industry in the ideal condition in the future is only 72%.
The results of this study show that the biggest gap between the current and ideal (future) conditions of Indonesian palm oil-based fatty acid and fatty alcohol industry, using WEF competitiveness framework is basic requirements while the smallest gap is efficiency enhancers. The results of this study also show that the gap for total factors using WEF competitiveness framework is about 28.07%. It means that the current condition of the industry on the way towards a highly competitive industry in the ideal condition in the future is only 72%.
Sythesis of main problems in developing the competitiveness of the industry, using competitiveness framework being developed by IMD and WEF, and ANP method, resulted in five strategy alternatives. The five strategy alternatives are synchronization of related regulations and improvement in the level of implementation; improvement and expansion of basic and information, communication, and technology (ICT) infrastructures; continuity and quality improvement of utility supplies; improvement in research and development activities; and development of fatty acid and fatty alcohol industrial clusters.
The highest ANP-BOCR priority in choosing the best strategy alternative based on opinions of the experts and/or practitioners is benefits, whereas the lowest ANP-BOCR priority is risks. The best strategy alternative according to four scenarios in ANP-BOCR are synchronization of related regulations and improvement in the level of implementation for standard scenario; continuity and quality improvement of utility supplies for optimistic scenario; improvement and expansion of basic and ICT infrastructures for realistic scenario; and synchronization of related regulations and improvement in the level of implementation for pessimistic scenario. The lowest strategy alternative being choosen by the experts and/or practitioners is same for the four scenarios, namely improvement in research and development activities.
Two out of four scenarios based on ANP-BOCR method resulted in the same best strategy alternative, namely synchronization of related regulations and improvement in the level of implementation. Indonesian government needs to list out and re-evaluate all existing regulations in relation to Indonesian palm oil-based fatty acid and fatty alcohol industry. Next, Indonesian government needs to ensure synchronization among the regulations and improve implementation level of the regulations. There is no use to have good regulations without consistency in implementation
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
