    An investigation into SMEs' perceptions of credit guarantee corporation (CGC) Malaysia berhad: A case study of Islamic guarantee scheme in Malays

    Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) are considered as backbone of the national economies, whether developing, or developed nations, due to their contribution to economic growth and capital accumulation. In Malaysia, therefore, the government has formulated various strategies to encourage development of the SMEs with the objectives of economic growth, capital accumulation and creating employment opportunities. One of such strategies resulted in the formation of Credit Guarantee Corporation, as a guarantor for the SMEs. The booming phenomenon of Islamic finance especially in Malaysia has influenced the CGC to come up with Islamic guarantee scheme, parallel with the demand of Islamic financing products in the country. However, since the scheme was introduced by the Corporation, in general, the performance of the Islamic guarantee scheme has not performed as expected and has not been as competitive as the conventional guarantee scheme, even though the scheme has recorded positive growth for its products since the inception. This study, therefore, aims to explore the various demand conditions for the Islamic guarantee scheme with the objective of finding possible solutions for the gaps exist in the scheme. A survey schedule was conducted through e-mail questionnaires directed to the SME entrepreneurs. The data was analyzed by using SPSS version 15. The findings indicate that there are some gaps in the scheme's operations pertaining to promotional aspects, product development, staff competency, and government involvement. Hence, the effectiveness of the Islamic guarantee scheme can be questioned, although, undeniably there are some who have benefited from the services. It should also be stated that the majority of the entrepreneurs, due to such reasons, are excluded benefiting the positive side of the Islamic guarantee scheme due to the glitches in the system. This study, therefore, concludes that improvements related to various aspects of the CGC are needed in order to ensure that the Islamic guarantee scheme is continuously expanding in the future

    Penelitian ini berawal dari pemikiran bahwa manajemen pengembangan sumber daya pendidik sangat penting dalam meningkatkan kualitas pendidik. Jika pendidiknya tidak kompeten maka kecil kemungkinan menghasilkan peserta didik yang kompeten juga. Spesialisasi jurusan yang menjadi latar belakang sumber daya pendidik menjadi masalah utama di Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri 1 Kota Bandung. Karena sumber daya pendidiknya bukan berasal dari latar belakang jurusan yang linear untuk mendidik di madrasah ibtidaiyah. Oleh karena itu dibutuhkan manajemen pengembangan sumber daya pendidik untuk meningkatkan kualitas pendidik. Sehingga pendidik di Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri 1 Kota Bandung menjadi lebih profesional dan kompeten. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pelaksanaan manajemen pengembangan sumber daya pendidik di Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri 1 Kota Bandung. Yaitu meliputi (1) latar alamiah di Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri 1 Kota Bandung, (2) perencanaan sumber daya pendidik, (3) penarikan dan seleksi sumber daya pendidik, (4) pengembangan sumber daya pendidik, (5) pemeliharaan sumber daya pendidik, dan (6) faktor-faktor pendukung sertafaktor penghambat dari manajemen pengembangan sumber daya pendidikdi madrasah tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif. Metode penelitian ini menggambarkan secara alamiah sesuai hasil penelitian tentang manajemen pengembangan sumber daya pendidik di Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri1 Kota Bandung. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah teknik observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi atau menyalin,yang kemudian dianalisis dan diuji keabsahannya dengan perpanjangan keikutsertaan, triangulasi dan audit kepastian.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    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

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    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
