    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

    ABSTRAK PENGARUH LATIHAN HAND SPLINT FINGERBOARD TERHADAP PENINGKATAN KEMAMPUAN MOTORIK TANGAN ANAK CEREBRAL PALSY (Ayu Kurniasari Isroi, 1608090) SKRIPSI, Departemen Pendidikan Khusus (PKh), Fakultas Ilmu Pendidikan (FIP), Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui seberapa besar pengaruh latihan hand splint fingerboard terhadap peningkatan kemampuan motorik tangan anak cerebral palsy. Latihan hand splint fingerboard dilakukan untuk mengurangi hambatan pada tangan anak cerebral palsy yang mengepal agar mampu melakukan aktivitas sehari-hari secara mandiri. Penelitian ini termasuk jenis penelitian eksperimen untuk menguji bagaimana pengaruh latihan hand splint fingerboard terhadap peningkatan kemampuan motorik tangan pada aspek menggerakan jari-jari tangan dan menggunakan tangan anak CP tipe spatik athetoid yang berinisial FMM. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah single subject reseacrh (SSR) dengan desain penelitian A-B-A. Hasil penelitian dari pengaruh latihan handsplint fingerboard tidak dapat diyakini terhadap kemampuan motorik tangan kanan subjek karena hasil persentase overlap yang melebihi 90% sedangkan pada kemampuan motorik tangan kiri subjek latihan handsplilnt fingerboard ini memiliki pengaruh karena ditandai dengan hasil persentase overlap yang tidak melebihi 90%. Namun, jika dilihat dari peningkatan mean level pada setiap masing-masing kondisi menunjukan adanya peningkatan atau pengaruh atas intervensi atau latihan yang diberikan baik itu pada kemampuan motorik tangan kanan dan kemampuan motorik tangan kiri subjek pada aspek menggerakan jari-jari tangan dan kemampuan menggerakan tangan. Dari hasil penelitian terebut dapat direkomendasikan penggunaan hand splint fingerboard yang terus menerus dan dengan waktu yang lama akan menghasilkan pengaruh yang lebih signifikan. Peneliti selanjutnya dapat melanjutkan penelitian ini dengan menggunakan metode yang berbeda ataupun dengan metode yang sama dengan tujuan yang berbeda. Peneliti selanjutnya dapat mengembangkan program intervensi yang diberikan pada penelitian ini. Kata Kunci: Cerebral Palsy, Latihan Hand Splint Fingerboard, Kemampuan Motorik Tangan.  ABSTRACT THE EFFECT OF HAND SPLINT FINGERBOARD EXERCISE ON ENHANCEMENT OF MOTOR CEREBRAL PALSY HAND MOTOR SKILLS (Ayu Kurniasari Isroi, 1608090) THESIS, Ministry of Special Education (PKh), Faculty of Education (FIP), Indonesian Education University (UPI). This study aims to determine how much influence the hand splint fingerboard exercises have on improving the motor abilities of the hands of cerebral palsy children. Hand splint fingerboard exercises are performed to reduce the obstacles in the hands of a clenched cerebral palsy child to be able to perform daily activities independently. This research is an experimental research to examine how the effect of hand splint fingerboard exercises on increasing the motor ability of the hands on the aspect of moving the fingers and using the hands of an athlete's spathic type CP with the initials FMM. The research method used is a single subject research (SSR) with A-B-A research design. The results of the study of the influence of the handsplint fingerboard exercises can not be trusted on the motor abilities of the right hand of the subject because the results of the overlap percentage exceeds 90%, while on the left hand motor skills of the subjects the handsplilnt fingerboard exercises have an influence because it is marked by the results of the overlap percentage which does not exceed 90%. However, when viewed from an increase in the mean level in each of the conditions shows an increase or influence on the intervention or training given both to the right hand motor skills and motor skills of the subject's left hand on the aspects of moving the fingers and the ability to move the hand. From the results of this study, it can be recommended that the use of a hand splint fingerboard continuously and with a long time will produce a more significant effect. Further researchers can continue this research using different methods or the same method with different goals. The next researcher can develop the intervention program given in this study.

    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

    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.
