Bibliometric Approach

AbstractThe identification of one’s own research strengths is of crucial importance for research administration at universities. In this case study, two different approaches were applied to the University of Vienna. The first relies on funding and rankings information as well as on other esteem indicators. The second is based on a bibliometric analysis of the publication output. We used two alternative clusterings for publications for the bibliometric analysis: Web of Science subject categories and lists of researchers associated with esteem-indicators. Both, esteem-indicators and bibliometric analysis proved to be useful in identifying research strengths, lead to similar results and are meant to be used together to complement each other. We found that the greatest hindrance in the bibliometric approach lies in the inherent limitations of journals-assignment-based classification systems and the considerable time and efforts for more accurate researcher-based publication analyses. Further investigation on this subject, including new and alternative metrics, is needed and will be conducted in the future. However, the preliminary results already demonstrate the benefits of using esteem-factors together with bibliometric analyses for research strengths definition of universities.

This paper adopted a case study approach to investigate the sustainability practices of a Scottish university in order to understand if sustainability forms part of its central policy agenda. As such, the paper focuses on the levels of awareness and disclosure of their sustainable practices, measuring the impacts and effectiveness of those initiatives. This paper introduces signaling theory to explore the idea that appropriate communication via integrated thinking can close the gap between the organization and its stakeholders. We believe that the provision of this relevant information will lead to better communication between the organization and its stakeholders, supporting a signaling theory interpretation. Therefore, we are suggesting that integrated thinking is an internal process that organizations can follow to increase the level of disclosure as a communication tool with stakeholders. From the literature reviewed, four themes were identified (definition of university sustainability, sustainability awareness, disclosure framework within universities, and level of accountability). The research adopted a pragmatic view and conducted individual interviews with participants belonging to three stakeholder groups (members of the university’s senior management, the governing council, and the student union executive). Although this study focused on just one Scottish university, it should still provide some insight for the better understanding of the underpinning issues surrounding the sustainability accountability practices of Scottish universities in general. The research findings indicated that the university prioritized only two sustainability dimensions—economic and environmental—and that the university still perceived sustainability as a voluntary exercise. Additionally, it is evident that the university had no framework in place for measuring its sustainability delivery—and therefore had no established medium of communicating these activities to its stakeholders. Moreover, research findings showed that the social and educational context of sustainability was lacking at the university. The university has done little or nothing to educate its stakeholders on sustainability.

Universitas Singaperbangsa Karawang does not yet have a system and criteria for assessing the performance of non-P3K employees. Currently the staffing office at the University of Singaperbangsa Karawang does not yet have a way to determine how an employee is entitled to a Performance Allowance. Based on these facts, a website-based employee performance allowance information system will be created with a case study of the staff of the singaperbangsa karawang university. The system to be built includes the definition of criteria, data processing to become the best employee recommendation / promotion and determination of Employee Performance Allowances. The methodology used is software engineering and uses the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) method with the waterfall model because it is in accordance with the research that will be carried out with a relatively short stage of system usage. The calculation process is done by using the method of fuzzy multiple attribute decision making with weighted product because this method determines the weight value for each attribute, then proceed with a ranking process that will select the best alternative from a number of alternatives. The system created can provide information about the amount of employee performance benefits and recommendations for promotion for employees. After evaluating the user, this system gets a response that is easy to understand and easy to understand on each menu on the system. Looking at the benefits of this system is useful when it will provide performance allowances to employees and at the time will determine the employees who are reconditioned for promotions. The design of employee recommendation decision support systems using fuzzy multiple attribute decision making is done by completing the weighted product to produce alternatives after verification with the existing data getting 60% accuracy.

Using the example of the “Missions-ethnogra­phi­s⁠che Museum” in St Gabriel (Mödling, today Maria Enzersdorf, near Vienna) as a case study, this article looks at the phenomenon of European mission museums and argues that the museum in St Gabriel was seen dominantly from a scholarly perspective. This was itself a part of the scholarly orientation of the SVD (Societas Verbi Divini) congregation (Frs. Schmidt, Koppers, Schebesta, etc.). The article thus places its main focus on the network that included the mission museum, the Museum of Ethnology Vienna, and the University of Vienna.

RESUMO        Do nascimento da Associação Internacional de Teatro na Universidade, ou Quando uma necessidade do TU cria o órgão AITUDesde a criacão das primeiras universidades na Idade Média, a atividade teatral universitária esteve diretamente ligada às matérias ensinadas como um auxiliar do ensino,  e essencialmente praticada intra muros. Após a 2a. guerra mundial (1945), o teatro universitário iria acentuar o fenômeno de sua abertura e de sua internacionalização. Rompendo os muros da universidade, o teatro conquistaria cada vez mais visibilidade, e inúmeros grupos universitários se veriam tentados pela profissionalização. A própria universidade vai, a partir daí, considerar o teatro como objeto de estudo.  E os anos 70 serão, assim, marcados em quase todas as universidades europeias, pela criação de Departamentos de Estudos Teatrais. A década de 1980 viu florescerem novos festivais internacionais que revelam claramente a abundância de teatros universitários e a grande diversidade de suas práticas. Por ocasião dos Encontros de Liège (RITU), vai ressurgir no início dos anos 90, a questão da definicão do teatro universitário, que impulsiona os liegenises a organizar um Congresso Mundial em outubro de 1994, quando foi criada a Associação Internacional do Teatro na Universidade. A AITU organzia seu 11o. Congresso em 2016 em Manizales (Colombia). Palavras chave :  AITU-IUTA, Teatro Universitário, História do Teatro Universitário   ABSTRACT On the birth of the International University Theatre Association, or When a need of UT creates the organ IUTASince the creation of the first universities in the Middle Ages, the university theater activity was considered as a teaching aid to the subjects taught, and was primarily practiced intra muros. After the 2nd World War (1945), University Theatre would accentuate the phenomenon of openness and internationalization. Leaving the walls of the university, theater acquired more and more visibility, and numerous academic troops were tempted by professionalization. The university itself will now consider theater as a case study. And so the 70’s will be marked by the creation of Theater Studies Departments in universities all over Europe. The 1980’s saw a flowering of new international festivals which clearly reveal the abundance of university theaters and the great diversity of practices. On the occasion of the Liège Meetings (RITU), the question of the definition of university theater resurfaced in the early 90s, which pushed the organizers to set up a World Congress in October 1994. This led to the creation of the International University Theatre Association.  The IUTA holds its 11th Congress in 2016 in Manizales (Colombia).  Keywords:   AITU-IUTA, University Theatre, History of University Theatre

Selenium and Mercury are two chemical elements studied in several fields of knowledge due to their chemical properties and interactions. The aim of this study was to analyze the evolution of research activity from 1700 to 2017 on the global trend of these elements, we carried out a bibliometric analysis using the Scopus database. For each keyword accessed (“selenium”, “selenide”, “selenite”, “selenate”, “organoselenium”, “mercury”, “inorganic mercury”, “mercury vapor” and “methylmercury”), we analyzed the publication output, and the top 5 geographic distribution of publications and contributing authors, as well as the top 5 Scopus subject categories where the documents are indexed. The results demonstrated an increase in the number of publication over time for all the keywords. Research about Selenium and its inorganic and organic chemical forms, and Mercury and its inorganic and organic chemical forms were described in approximately 117,000 and 164,000 documents, respectively. United States was the country with the highest number of published documents in all the keywords analyzed. Chemistry, Medicine and Environmental Science were the subject categories with the highest number of documents. Researchers from the United States, China, Japan, Slovenia, and Brazil were in the ranking of the most productive authors. To our knowledge, this is the first bibliometric study on Selenium and Mercury and can be useful to identify potential research groups for scientific collaborations.
