Carbon disclosure practices of Aerospace and Airlines companies: substantive or symbolic legitimation / Faisal Faisal, Hasna Azizah Fithriani and Tarmizi Achmad
Full text linkThis study investigates whether firms increase their carbon disclosure to gain the attention of stakeholder and whether the pattern of disclosure is symbolic or substantive. Content analysis of the annual and sustainability reports of forty-two aerospace, air courier and airlines companies listed on Forbes 2000 was conducted to measure and compare disclosure practices in 2011 and 2013. The descriptive statistics and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were carried out to answer the research questions. We found that firms do increase their carbon disclosure in sustainability reports only. In spite of the fact that previous studies have generally stated that disclosures have been used by corporations as a tool to legitimize their actions, the results of our study differ slightly. A more carbon-intensive industry such as aerospace, air courier and airlines has disclosed substantive information in relation to carbon. This study suggests that stronger requirements from regulators such as compliance obligations to disclose substantive information are most likely to make firms more accountable in their carbon disclosures. This result indicates that companies from this industry have made a substantial commitment to carbon reduction. This finding supports decision-makers, in particular regulators, to continue to institutionalize carbon regulation. It also provides empirical evidence of patterns of carbon disclosure in a specific industry
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

No full textPengantar Sistem Basis Data
No full textDalam kehidupan sehari-hari kita sering membahas mengenai
data dan informasi. Informasi berasal dari kumpulan data yang
disimpan secara terstruktur pada sebuah sistem yang dikenal dengan
basis data (database). Pada bab awal akan dibahas tentang data,
informasi, dan siklus informasi. Dilanjutkan dengan perbedaan sistem
pemrosesan file dengan sistem basis data berikut komponen sistem
basis data, juga perbedaan basis data dengan DBMS, dan diakhiri
dengan hubungan DBMS dengan aplikasi basis data.
Bab berikutnya akan membahas mengenai abstraksi dan model
data. Kemudian dilanjutkan dengan pembahasan mengenai basis data
relasional.
Salah satu pemodelan basis data secara konseptual adalah
pemodelan berbasis relasi antar entitas. Pemodelan ini disebut sebagai
Diagram ER (Entity Relationship Diagram). Diagram ER sangat populer
karena mudah dimengerti. Konsep utama dari pemodelan ini berakar
pada Entitas entitas dan relasi antar entitas. Pada bab ini akan dibahas
pengertian entitas, atribut dan relasi, derajat himpunan relasi,
kardinalitas relasi, serta pengenalan key sebagai salah satu constraint
dalam Diagram ER.
Pemodelan dengan menggunakan Diagram ER adalah
pemodelan konseptual sebuah basis data relasional. Diagram ER
dapat dikonversikan ke dalam bentuk tabel fisik yang akan di simpan
di dalam basis data. Di dalam bab ini akan di bahas lebih lanjut dari
ER yaitu tentang tahap lanjut pemodelan Diagram ER yang memiliki
varian entitas dan varian relasi. Varian entitas meliputi entitas kuat,
entitas lemah, dan sub entitas. Sedangkan varian relasi meliputi relasi
biner, relasi tunggal, relasi multi-entitas, relasi ganda, serta
spesialisasi dan generalisasi.
Pembahasan selanjutnya adalah mengenai konversi Diagram ER
menjadi tabel-tabel pada basis data relasional. Kemudian dilanjutkan
dengan pembahasan mengenai bahasa basis data relasional yang
dikenal sebagai bahasa query. Bahasa Query adalah bahasa yang
dikhususkan untuk mengajukan pertanyaan atau Query, yang
xvi
melibatkan data dalam sebuah database. Input dan output suatu query
adalah relasi. Query dievaluasi dengan menggunakan contoh input
relasi dan menghasilkan contoh output relasi
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
