Career motivations for postgraduate study enrollment in institutions of higher learning / Yusnida Yusof
Get PDFThe main objective of this dissertation is to examine the levels of their perception on career motivation , personal needs, personal attributions, organizational development, program attracti veness, and reward for postgraduate study enrollment in institution s of higher learning, to identify the most prominent variables that may influence the career motivation for postgrad uate study enrollment in institutions of higher learning, to examine the relationship between personal needs, personal attributions, organizational development, program attractiveness and reward with career moti vations for postgraduate study enrollment in institution s of higher learning and to investigate the differences between several selected profile (gender, age, position , university, education, mode of study and salary) that are related to career motivations for postgraduate study enrollment in institutions of higher learning. This study involves
330 samples from three (3) Universities which are University Teknologi Mara Terengganu (UiTMT), U niversity Malaysia Terengganu (UMT), and University Sultan Zainal Abidi n (UniSZA). 330 Set of questionnai re have been distributed to collect data and the data was analyzed by using the SPSS Windows Version 20. Analysis of 330 responses using Pearson Correlation analysis revealed that there is a significant relationship between organization development passion and career motivations. From the finding, an organization development as a higher value that is 0.560, and it showed that organization development is the best pred ictor, followed by personal attributions, personal needs, program attractiveness, and reward that can be used to predict career motivations for postgrad uate study enrollment. Here were some limitations that have been identified underlying i n this research invest igated. From the research limitation described , it is proposed that future research to be carried out in order to cover the research area more thoroughl
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
The customer satisfaction toward supporting services of teaching and learning activities provided by USIM / Yusnida Mohd Pauzi
Get PDFThis research was conducted for the purposed of “The Customer Satisfaction toward Supporting Services of Teaching and Learning Activities Provided by USIM”. The main objective of this research was to identify the important of supporting services provided by Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) to enhancing the level of student satisfaction of that service besides teaching and learning activities. The research is conducted using non-probability sampling method is convenience sampling. The questionnaire of this research was distributed to 150 respondents which 30 respondent each of the USIM’s Hostel. The Hostel are Sutera Indah,Jati, Nilam Court, Camelia Court and Pandan Mewah. The supporting services that influence student’s satisfaction such as attention, supporting and leading, learning environment and facilities, then to identify the USIM’s strategy and effective actions should be taken to enhance the their services. The conclusion of the research was the outcome from the data analysis and finding. Based on the finding, some recommendations have been suggested in order to help USIM’s Management and will enhance the student satisfaction

Get PDFDispelling 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
