A time series analysis of road traffic fatalities in Malaysia / Yusria Darma
Full text linkIn Malaysia, with the current road safety developments, it is perceived that the target of the latest Road Safety Plan of Malaysia 2014–2020 that is the main objective is to reduce the deaths in 2020 by 5,358 deaths may not be achieved. Even though various interventions and road safety measures have been implemented through the development of legislations, standards, guidelines and integrated road safety programmes. The primary objectives of this study are: (1) to describe the characteristics of road safety in Malaysia, (2) to investigate the impact of road safety measures in reducing the rate of fatalities, (3) to investigate the factors that influencing the rate of fatalities and (4) to develop time series models to predict the rate of road traffic fatalities in Malaysia. In order to achieve these objectives, three forecasting models are developed based on the time series analysis technique, namely: (1) autoregressive integrated moving average model, (2) transfer function-noise model and (3) state-space model. The multiple regression is used to select the explanatory variables that are correlated significantly with the number of road traffic fatalities. Then, these variables are the input variables for the state-space model. The effectiveness of a road safety measure is checked with the autoregressive integrated moving average and transfer function-noise model. Whilst, for forecasting the fatalities up to year 2020, the autoregressive integrated moving average, transfer function-noise and state-space models are employed. Based on the results, the characteristics of the current road safety in Malaysia are: (1) the major victims of road traffic accidents are motorcyclists, (2) young adult drivers/riders aged 16–25 years make up the highest percentage of the total fatalities, with a value of 35%, and (3) the highest rate of fatal accidents per kilometre occurs at expressways. In addition, the effectiveness of a number of road safety measures is also investigated in this study. The results show that the enactment of the Seat Belt Rules in 1978 decreases the rate of car driver fatalities by 58%. However, the Motorcycle Daytime Running Headlight Regulation in 1992 is not an effective road safety measure to reduce the rate of motorcycle fatalities throughout the nation. In contrast, the Integrated Road Safety Operations (Ops Sikap) is an effective measure. The National Road Safety Plan 2006–2010 decreases the rate of the total road traffic fatalities by only 9%. This achievement is rather low compared to the targeted value of 52.4%. The results show that the significant explanatory variables to forecast the fatalities are: (1) the number of hospital beds per 1,000 people, (2) the percentage of registered motorcycles and (3) road length. Moreover, it is expected that the targeted rate of fatalities of 2.0 per 10,000 registered vehicles will be achieved by year 2023 with intensive enforcement. However, drastic actions need to be taken to achieve the target in the Road Safety Plan 2014–2020

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

Nadia Alfa Yusria
Writing was a complex activity in communication therefor it must be composed and
integrated as conveyed information then would be easier understanding the language
in written communication. Furthermore the researcher did the preliminary research
related to writing ability at SMAN 10 Bandar Lampung has found some problem in
writing such as the students feel difficult to found the main idea of the writing task,
and also student‟s internet connection got trouble or the students did not have quotas
to do the assignments given by the teacher.
The design of the research was qualitative descriptive research. Involved 10 classes
of the tenth grade in SMAN 10 Bandar Lampung as the research population which
was 7 classes of science class and 3 classes of social class, then the tenth grade of
science class (it was MIA 4) as a sample gathered by purposive sampling technique.
The data collected by interview, observation, and gave the questionnaire to obtain the
valid data. Additionally in qualitative analysis process contains the data reduction,
data display, and conclusion drawing.
The result of the research come up with the students‟ problem in learning writing by
using E-Learning experienced by the students‟ while making their descriptive
paragraph writing tasks, such as; the teacher‟s unclear explanation, the trouble of
internet connection, and lack of motivation to learn English lesson during pandemic
era.
