Object oriented analysis and the design of large client server applications in a windows environment: an experience
Full text linkA Unified Modeling Language (UML) is probably the most popular language and notations for Object Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) in the industry. In fact, the UML, a unification of James Rumbaugh's Object Modeling Techniques (OMT), Grady Booch's Booch Techniques, and Ivar Jacobson's Object Oriented Software Engineering (OOSE), is fast becoming a lingua franca for software engineers, developers and designers alike. Being a lingua franca, the UML helps software engineers 'speak' in the same language. In effect, the UML facilitates reuse of not only codes, but also software architectural designs. In some cases, these architectural designs are also documented as reusable designs or patterns. This paper, derived from our previous work (Idris et al., 2000; Zamli et al., 1999a; Zamli et al., 1999b; Zamli et al., 1999c; Zamli et al., 1999d; Zamli et al., 1999e), describes our experience using a UML to design large scale object oriented client server database applications in a Windows environment. In doing so, we have developed some reusable designs and conventions in terms of UML class diagrams along with class relationships, cardinality and stereotypes, as well as in terms of component diagrams and their dependencies

No full textA Unified Modeling Language (UML) is probably the most popular language and notations for Object Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) in the industry. In fact, the UML, a unification of James Rumbaugh’s Object Modeling Techniques (OMT), Grady Booch’s Booch Techniques, and Ivar Jacobson’s Object Oriented Software Engineering (OOSE), is fast becoming a lingua franca for software engineers, developers and designers alike. Being a lingua franca, the UML helps software engineers “speak†in the same language. In effect, the UML facilitates reuse of not only codes, but also software architectural designs. In some cases, these architectural designs are also documented as reusable designs or patterns.
This paper, derived from our previous work (Idris et al., 2000; Zamli et al., 1999a; Zamli et al., 1999b; Zamli et al., 1999c; Zamli et al., 1999d; Zamli et al., 1999e), describes our experience using a UML to design large scale object oriented client server database applications in a Windows environment. In doing so, we have developed some reusable designs and conventions in terms of UML class diagrams along with class relationships, cardinality and stereotypes, as well as in terms of component diagrams and their dependencies. Using such designs and conventions, we have incrementally developed a Financial Analysis Module as part of a larger Enterprise Resource Planning Systems using the Borland C++ Builder 4.0, Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 and Rational Rose 98i, in a Windows NT platform with an average of 16,600 lines of codes (LOC) and 98 objects.
While some aspects of the designs and conventions used in the Financial Analysis Module are project specific (e.g. using case diagrams, collaboration diagrams, and sequence diagrams), our experiences indicate that some aspects of the designs can be applicable in other development projects in a similar context (i.e. involving large scale database applications). This paper summarizes some of the lessons learned
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
Penyuluhan Pemberdayaan Ibu Hamil dalam Pencegahan Anemia melalui Edukasi dan Konsumsi Tablet Tambah Darah di Puskesmas Ponrang Kabupaten Luwu: Darniati, Zamli
Full text linkAnemia in pregnant women remains a serious health problem in Indonesia, with a prevalence reaching 48.9% (Riskesdas, 2021). Anemia poses risks of pregnancy complications such as premature delivery, low birth weight babies, and maternal mortality. This community service activity aims to increase knowledge and compliance of pregnant women in anemia prevention through education and consumption of iron supplementation tablets (TTD). The implementation method was conducted through interactive lectures, discussions, and distribution of leaflets to 50 pregnant women at Ponrang Health Center, Luwu Regency. Evaluation was conducted through pre-test and post-test. Results showed a 90% increase in knowledge and active participation of participants in discussions reached 85%. This activity was effective in increasing awareness and compliance with TTD consumption. It is recommended that this educational activity be conducted continuously.

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
Analysis of heavy metals in cow-milk based infant formula / Khairunisa Mohd Zamli
Full text linkMost of dairy products especially milk are very popular all over the world as a daily consumed
by human as the nutritional balance food and has major sources of the nutrients especially for
infant in the first six months of life. Infant milk formulas intentionally manufactured to supply
essential elements in the diets of newborns. These elements are necessary for biological process
and play an importance role in development of infants. However, some of essential elements
become toxic when their concentration are exceed and above the allowable limit as they create
significant health effect to infants. In this study, the concentration of Cadmium (Cd), Copper
(Cu), Nickel (Ni), Lead (Pb) and Zinc (Zn) were analyzed throughout Inductively Coupled
Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry for seven different brands of infant formulas which
retailed in Malaysia market. From the results obtained, Zn has the highest concentration in
infant formulas followed by Cu, Pb, Ni and Cd. The concentration of Zn, Cu, Pb and Ni were
from 0.3467 mg/kg to 0.9833 mg/kg, 0.1433 mg/kg to 0.2533 mg/kg, 0.0133 mg/kg to 0.0267
mg/kg and 0.0033 mg/kg to 0.0100 mg/kg, respectively for all seven different brands of the
infant milk formulas. For Cd, the concentration was below the detection limit of the instrument.
All heavy metals content in infant formulas were lies within the permissible limit except for Pb
level in sample 86 which slightly above the permissible limit. The obtained results were
compared to an existing standard for allowable amounts of toxic heavy metals in infant milk
formulas and also compared with the previous literature
Investigation on the performance of GFRP reinforced glued laminated timber (glulam component) / Abdullah Omar Abdullah Zamli
Full text linkThe glulam method enabled the use of smaller timber pieces being formed together into a stronger larger piece, a revolutionary method which made timber construction component much more reliable renewable material. However this method still relies on the rule that a larger component is always stronger. Several applications reinforcement like glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) or carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) have been applied on glulam in order to allow it to have greater structural strength without any increase of its dimensions. Though reinforcement is proven to be workable, there is still no standardized method of manufacture and minimum parameter of reinforcement materials
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
