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
Sustainable Drainage System Analysis In The Institut Teknologi Sumatera (ITERA)
Full text linkThe Institut Teknologi Sumatera is a new university that still requires planning and infrastructure development, one of the development needed is the construction of a drainage system, namely a sustainable drainage system that adheres to the concept of water conservation. The purpose of this research is to analyze topographic conditions, as well as the performance of the existing drainage system in ITERA and to develop recommendations for a sustainable drainage system. In this study, several stages were carried out, first analyzing the topographical conditions in ITERA. The second is to analyze the existing drainage capacity, which is to compare the existing drainage capacity to the runoff that occurs when it rains. The calculation of runoff discharge is obtained from hydrological analysis of rainfall data using the annual maximum partial series method. Third, synthesizing the connectivity between drainage segments to the reservoirs in ITERA.
The results of several analyzes above show that, firstly, the topography in ITERA is relatively flat with the most dominant elevations being 85 - 100 m and 100 - 105 m. Second, the calculation results show that the existing drainage capacity is still able to accommodate the runoff that occurs. So for now it is still safe against inundation and flooding. Third, the results show that there are several existing drainages that have not been connected to other drainage segments and water does not run off to the designated place as a reservoir, namely the reservoir.
 
Automatic Sprayer Controller Untuk Airlock Chamber RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang
Full text linkPenyebaran COVID-19 telah melanda dunia hingga mencapai Indonesia, khususnya wilayah sumatera barat. RSUP Dr. M Jamil padang merupakan salah satu rumah sakit yang menjadi tempat perawatan pasien COVID-19. Dengan segala keterbatasa peralatan RSUP menangani pasien yang dirawat di sana. Salah satu masalah yang dihadapi adalah kurang maksimalnya alat yang berfungsi untuk mensterilkan udara antara ruang isolasi dan pintu keluar ruang tersebut dimana ruang ini disebut airlock chamber. Airlock Chamber adalah ruang kosong yang berada diantara ruang isolasi dengan pintu masuk ruang isolasi yang berguna untuk menjaga agar udara dari ruang isolasi tidak keluar ke ruang bebas. Politeknik Negeri Padang (PNP) berusaha melakukan inovasi berdasarkan teknologi terapan dengan memanfaatkan staf pengajar yang kompeten dan mahasiswanya merakit pompa air, selang dan nozzle pengembun dipadukan dengan modul sensor proximity dan driver relay untuk mengendalikan pompa maka dibuatlah Automatic Sprayer Controller yang dapat melakukan penyemrotan secara otomatis setelah tenaga medis atau pasien keluar dari ruang tersebut. Pihak RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang bersyukur dan berterima kasih sekaligus memberikan apresiasi kepada PNP karena bukan hanya merancang dan membuat Automatic Sprayer Controller tapi terjun langsung melakukan instalasi dalam chambernya. Selain itu RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang berharap kerjasama yang berkesinambunagn dengan PNP tetap terjalin dalam inovasi teknologi tepat guna khususnya di bidang medis yang terbukti saat ini membantu menekan pandemii Covid-1
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
