    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

    Bank adalah lembaga keuangan yang menghimpun dana masyarakat dari pihak yang surplus dan menyalurkan dana kepada pihak yang defisit. Secara umum pengertian Bank Islam (Islamic Bank) adalah bank yang pengoperasiannya disesuaikan dengan prinsip syariah Islam. Perkembangan bank Islam tidak hanya didirikan oleh negara-negara yang mayoritas penduduknya beragama Islam, melainkan dijalankan pula oleh bank-bank negara-negara non muslim dengan cara membentuk suatu unit tersendiri yang ada pada bank guna melayani nasabah yang menghendaki perbankan yang didasarkan pada prinsip syariah. Di Indonesia sendiri, perkembangan Bank Syariah di mulai pada tahun 1991, dengan didirikannya Bank Muamalat Indonesia dan secara teknis yuridis penyebutan Bank Islam mempergunakan istilah resmi “Bank Syariah”, atau yang secara lengkap disebut “Bank Berdasarkan Prinsip Syariah”. Perbankan Syariah bertujuan menunjang pelaksanaan pembangunan nasional dalam rangka meningkatkan keadilan, kebersamaan, dan pemerataan kesejahteraan rakyat. Dalam mencapai tujuan tersebut, bank syariah mengarahkan kegiatan bisnisnya sesuai dengan hukum Islam, sehingga produk – produk yang dikeluarkan bank syariah berbeda dengan produk – produk yang dikeluarkan bank konvensional. Sistem bagi hasil dalam bank syariah merupakan salah satu penggunaan prinsip syariah karena bunga bertentangan dengan hukum Islam. Dewan Syariah Nasional dalam Fatwa No.26/DSN-MUI/III/2002 menyebutkan bahwa biaya atau ongkos yang ditanggung oleh penggadai besarnya didasarkan pada pengeluaran yang nyata – nyata diperlukan. Disisi lain pihak bank merupakan orang yang akan menjadi penerima gadai. Pihak bank akan memeriksa kelengkapan dari nasabah sebagai pemberi barang gadai kemudia bank akan memberikan dana sesuai dengan nilai dari barang yang digadaikan oleh si pemberi gadai. Pihak bank selaku penerima gadai memiliki kewajiban untuk menjaga barang gadai nasabahnya dan juga memiliki hak untuk melakukan pelelangan terhadap barang gadai tersebut apabila nasabah telah melewati tempo pembayaran yang sudah ditetapkan oleh pihak bank UU Perbankan Syariah semua pelaksanaan kegiatan operasional dari perbankan syariah harus berasaskan pada Prinsip Syariah, demokrasi ekonomi, dan prinsip kehati-hatian. Dalam Pasal 1 Angka 12 UU Perbankan Syariah, prinsip syariah didefinisikan sebagai prinsip hukum Islam dalam kegiatan perbankan berdasarkan fatwa yang dikeluarkan oleh lembaga yang memiliki kewenangan dalam penetapan fatwa di bidang syariah. Hubungan hukum tersebut memberikan konsekuensi bahwa dalam menjalankan kegiatan usahanya, pelaku usaha perbankan syariah pasti melakukan suatu perbuatan hukum.Banks are financial institutions that collect public funds from surplus parties and channel funds to deficit parties. In general, the definition of Islamic Bank (Islamic Bank) is a bank whose operations are adjusted to Islamic sharia principles. The development of Islamic banks was not only established by countries with a majority Muslim population, but also by non-Muslim countries by forming a separate unit at the bank to serve customers who wanted banking based on sharia principles. In Indonesia itself, the development of Sharia Banks began in 1991, with the establishment of Bank Muamalat Indonesia and technically a juridical mention of Islamic Banks using the official term "Sharia Bank", or in full called "Sharia Principles Based Bank". Sharia banking aims to support the implementation of national development in order to improve justice, togetherness, and equitable distribution of people's welfare. In achieving this goal, Islamic banks direct their business activities in accordance with Islamic law, so that products issued by Islamic banks are different from products issued by conventional banks. The profit sharing system in Islamic banks is one of the uses of Islamic principles because interest is contrary to Islamic law. The National Sharia Council in Fatwa No.26 / DSN-MUI / III / 2002 states that the costs or costs borne by the large pawnshop are based on actual expenditures needed. On the other hand the bank is the person who will be the recipient of the mortgage. The bank will check the completeness of the customer as the pledge giver then the bank will provide funds in accordance with the value of the goods pawned by the pledge giver. The bank as the recipient of the mortgage has an obligation to safeguard the pledged goods of its customers and also has the right to auction the goods if the customer has passed the payment due determined by the bank The Sharia Banking Law, all operational activities of Islamic banking must be based on Sharia Principles, economic democracy, and the principle of prudence. In Article 1 Number 12 of the Law on Sharia Banking, sharia principles are defined as the principles of Islamic law in banking activities based on a fatwa issued by an institution that has the authority to stipulate a fatwa in the field of sharia. The legal relationship has the consequence that in carrying out its business activities, Islamic banking business actors must carry out a legal action

    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

    Get PDF
    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

    Get PDF
    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

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
