    The production processes in the musical instrument industry are highly diverse, ranging from manual operations to full automation. The musical instrument industry examined in this study is predominantly characterized by manual production processes. In manual production, the role of operators is crucial in determining productivity levels. The Buffing Section is a workgroup within the painting department responsible for polishing components of musical instruments. Observations conducted from September to November revealed that the productivity of this group had not met the company’s target of 82%. Productivity was recorded at 70% in September, 77% in October, and 72% in November. To evaluate this condition, operator performance effectiveness was measured using the Overall Labor Effectiveness (OLE) method. OLE is used to assess labor productivity efficiency in manufacturing by examining the cumulative impact of three elements—availability, performance, and quality—on output. To identify the priority factors affecting productivity, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was employed. Additionally, Root Cause Analysis (RCA) was conducted to analyze the causes of problems and propose improvements. The results of the study showed an OLE value of 76%, indicating that the operational performance effectiveness was below the global standard. AHP analysis revealed that the primary factor influencing the low OLE value, which should be prioritized for problem analysis and improvement, was the quality factor, with an eigenvector value of 0.70. To further identify quality-related issues, RCA analysis highlighted the most dominant defects based on a Pareto diagram, namely rough surfaces (69.74%) and dull finishes (15.61%). The primary causes of these defects were, Uneven operator skills, Improper machine settings, Inadequate sanding processes, Incorrect pressure during the buffing process, Excessive or insufficient use of wax, Poor workplace cleanlines

    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

    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

    Exploring the Potential Wealth of Modern Batik Motif Sido Luhur Pakualaman Batik Association YogyakartaAbstract. Sido Luhur Pakualaman Batik Association has a unique batik motif that is Mount Ketur motif. The Mount Ketur motif comes from historical values in the Pakualaman community. The historical value which is embodied in the batik motif is one of creativity forms from the craftsmen for their intellectual property. Each motif formed from each batik craftsman has extraordinary potential in terms of beauty, local wisdom, and meaning of life. Batik motifs become a very decisive element because from the motif, we will know whether batik has a "spirit" or not. This service activities has aim to explore and demonstrate the potential wealth of batik motifs owned by the Sido Luhur batik association so that it can be used as a medium for product quality improvement and product promotion media. The activity method consists of 3 steps: discussion, socialization, and intense mentoring. The results of community service activities have a positive impact on associations, such as increasing the member’s creativity, number of modern motifs created, and ability to maintain product quality. Beside that, the community service activities also can compile product catalogs of all batik motifs and have a strong enthusiasm to obtain Intellectual Property Rights in the form Copyright of batik motifs.Keywords: batik motifs, philosophy, utilization.Abstrak. Perkumpulan Batik Sido Luhur Pakualaman memiliki motif batik yang khas yaitu motif Gunung Ketur. Motif Gunung Ketur sendiri berasal dari nilai-nilai histori yang ada di masyarakat Pakualaman.

    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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    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
