Moral and Democratic Society System in Twain’s The Man Who Corrupted Hadleyburg
Get PDFThis article sought to explore moral and democratic society systems within Mark Twain's short story "The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg" using a descriptive methodology. The source of data in this research was the text of the short story itself, while to support the data, the writers encompassed relevant information related to the research, including literary theory and sociological perspectives on literature. The data collection process involved in-depth reading, transcription of pertinent quotations from the story to support the research, and systematic categorization. Through genetic structuralism as the analytical framework, this study revealed the moral criticism and democratic society system as the central themes, manifesting through key characters such as Edward Richard, Reverend Burgess, and other supporting figures. In Twain's "The Man Who Corrupted Hadleyburg," a profound exploration of moral criticism and democratic societal systems unfolds. The narrative delves into the intricacies of character morality, exposing the vulnerabilities of individuals and the democratic decision-making processes within the framework of Hadleyburg's society. The reactions of Hadleyburg's residents to the sudden influx of gold served as a noteworthy concluding point, shedding light on the broader societal implications within the narrative. In essence, this research illuminates the multifaceted layers of social criticism embedded in "The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg," offering a nuanced understanding of the moral, societal, and individual dimensions explored by Mark Twain in this literary work. 
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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 PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
The Use of Literature in English as a Foreign Language Teaching and Learning Process: The Relationship and Suggested Techniques to be Used in EFL Classrooms
Get PDFLiterature, in a broad definition, can be defined as a term that denotes works such as drama, poetry, novel, and short story. From an educational point of view, literature can be utilized as a medium for teaching English as a foreign language. This study attempts to suggest the activities that can be used to maximize the prominent role of literature in teaching English skills and describe the relationship between literature and the English teaching and learning process. This study employs the qualitative approach with a library research technique. The data are collected from books and articles in various academic journals. The findings show that the relationship between literature and English teaching and learning is symbiotic and inseparable. Literature does have a really important role in teaching English as a foreign language: literature can be used in developing students’ language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. However, the use of literature in English classes can be fully optimized when accurate methods or techniques are used. This study suggests that the use of literature to enhance students’ language skills has to be done in integration

No full textPembelajaran kosakata adalah aspek yang sangat penting bagi siswa ketika mereka belajar bahasa Inggris. Siswa membutuhkan metode pembelajaran yang baru agar mereka dapat menikmati proses pembelajaran yang sedang berlangsung. Guru juga harus mampu menyampaikan materi dengan baik dan menggunakan media dengan tepat.

Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah 60 siswa. Terdiri dari 2 kelas dan setiap kelas terdiri dari 30 siswa. Dari hasil perhitungan pada saat pre test atau sebelum treatment diperoleh nilai t0 = 1,517 tt = 2,001, dengan tingkat signifikansi α = 0,05 dan df = n1 + n2 - 2 = 58, maka t0 lebih tinggi dari tt yang menunjukkan ada perbedaan yang signifikan dalam peningkatan kosakata bahasa Inggris siswa antar kelas yang diajar menggunakan media lagu (percobaan kelas) dan kelas yang diajar menggunakan media konvensional (kelas kontrol) setelah diberikan pre-test.
