Eksistensi Payung Dalam Kebudayaan Minangkabau Di Era Globalisasi
Full text linkPayung tidak hanya dipergunakan untuk hal-hal praktis dalam kehidupan sehari-hari seperti melindungi diri dari kehujanan atau kepanasan. Akan tetapi payung telah menjadi simbol dalam kebudayaan terutama di Minangkabau. Eksistensi payung dalam kebudayaan Minangkabau tentu saja mengalami perkembangan. Payung yang sebelumnya digunakan untuk hal yang praktis, sekarang sudah menjadi simbolis. Perubahan tersebut merupakan sikap terhadap kondisi masyarakat yang telah dipengaruhi oleh globalisasi. Globalisasi membawa penyebaran budaya pluralistik dengan berbagai ideologi yang terkandung di dalamnya yang sulit dihindarkan. Dalam hal ini globalisasi, tidak hanya dalam bidang-bidang tertentu, seperti teknologi, tetapi juga bidang-bidang lainnya sesuai dengan karakter dan makna global itu sendiri. Globalisasi menimbulkan perubahan terhadap sebuah benda seperti payung yang sudah lama melekat dalam diri manusia tradisional. Pengaruh globalisasi menjadikan payung bersifat universal. Payung di Minangkabau telah difungsikan dalam upacara ritual pengangkatan penghulu yang dimaknai sebagai pelindung dari perilaku yang tidak baik. Payung juga menjadi simbol bagi perempuan Minangkabau. Perempuan diibaratkan sebagai payung panji ke Medinah yang bermakna sebagai jalan menuju surga dalam agama Islam. Payung yang dilekatkan kepada perempuan juga bermakna sebagai pemimpin, terutama pemimpin dalam keluarga, pemimpin bagi anak-anaknya di rumah. Payung juga digunakan dalam tari di Minangkabau. Tari payung tercipta sebagai penggambaran cinta dan kasih sayang antara laki-laki dan perempuan. Begitu juga dalam upacara perkawinan, payung menjadi simbol menyatukan dua anak manusia dalam sebuah keluarga
Strategi Pembelajaran Kesenian Ulu Ambek pada Masa Pandemi di Pariaman
Full text linkThis article discusses the ulu ambek art learning strategy during the Covid-19 pandemic in Pariaman, which faces a new problem, namely the prohibition of gathering activities. This situation is certainly very risky for every cultural unit if it is not strong in defending itself. Ulu ambek art inevitably has to try to find alternatives to learning strategies to respond to the pandemic, one of which is to try online learning by utilizing digital technology media. The results of the analysis show that online learning strategies are difficult to apply to the ulu ambek. Because, the art of ulu ambek as an important part of Pariaman culture, holds the values and perceptions of the Pariaman people, especially the value of the leadership of the penghulu. Ulu ambek art is defined as a manifestation of the abstraction of the penghulu in Pariaman, including ideas, behaviors, and results of behavior. Both values and perceptions relate to the psychological aspects of ulu ambek supporters, which are important in directing their behavior, which are difficult to internalize through online learning strategies.Keywords: pandemic; strategy; learning; Pariaman; ulu ambek AbstrakTulisan ini membicarakan tentang strategi pembelajaran kesenian ulu ambek pada masa pandemi Covid-19 di Pariaman, yang menghadapi persoalan baru yaitu dilarangnya kegiatan berkumpul. Keadaan ini tentunya sangat berisiko bagi setiap unit kebudayaan jika tidak kuat dalam mempertahankan dirinya. Seni ulu ambek mau tidak mau harus berusaha untuk menemukan alternatif dari strategi pembelajaran guna menyikapi pandemi, salah satunya adalah mencoba pembelajaran daring dengan memanfaatkan media teknologi digital. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa strategi pembelajaran daring sulit diterapkan atas ulu ambek. Sebab, seni ulu ambek sebagai bagian penting kebudayaan Pariaman, menyimpan nilai-nilai dan persepsi masyarakat Pariaman, terutama atas nilai kepemimpinan penghulu. Seni ulu ambek didefinisikan sebagai wujud dari abstraksi penghulu di Pariaman, mencakup gagasan, kelakuan, dan hasil kelakuan. Baik nilai-nilai maupun persepsi, berkaitan dengan aspek-aspek kejiwaan para pendukung ulu ambek, yang penting artinya dalam mengarahkan tingkah laku mereka, yang sulit diinternalisasikan melalui trategi pembelajaran daring
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
