Abstract. To mark the twentieth anniversary of Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS), an interdisciplinary and international journal dedicated to the public discussion and open-access publication of high-quality studies and original research on natural hazards and their consequences, we highlight eleven key publications covering major subject areas of NHESS that stood out within the past 20 years. The selected articles represent excellent scientific contributions in the major areas of natural hazards and risks and helped NHESS to become an exceptionally strong journal representing interdisciplinary areas of natural hazards and risks. At its 20th anniversary, we are proud that NHESS is not only used by scientists to disseminate research results and innovative novel ideas but also by practitioners and decision-makers to present effective solutions and strategies for sustainable disaster risk reduction.

A major value of any international meeting lies in the opportunity it provides for interchange of views and experience among delegates from all parts of the world. At the Eleventh International Congress of Schools of Social Work, special emphasis was placed on discussion in small groups of the major theme of the Congress. The following reports summarize the major subject areas covered by three English-speaking groups, one French- speaking group, and four groups in which Spanish and Portuguese were the languages of communication. The summary reports which were presented at a general session on August 17, 1962 were based on accounts prepared by the chairmen and recorders of each of the groups. The IASSW takes this opportunity to express its great appreciation to the general rapporteurs, the chairmen and the recorders for their immensely valuable contribution to the success of the Congress.

The paper examines global research in big data, as covered in Scopus database 2007-16, on a series of bibliometric indicators. The study finds that big data registered exceedingly fast growth (135.2%), but averaged low citation impact per paper (3.75) and accounted for very low share of highly cited papers (0.86%) in 10 years. The study reports publication trends in big data research by top countries, top institutions, top authors, top journals, major subject areas, publication modes, and country-level share of international collaborative publications. The study concludes that big data is a subject of recent origin. Given its major potential to impact business, governance, society, healthcare, industry and many other sectors, big data is fast emerging as a major discipline of interest and importance to nations, corporates, and institutions across developed and fast emerging economies.

This chapter explains the goals and describes the overall structure of the book. It gives reasons for the range of eight major subject areas (Parts II through IX) into which the work is divided, and which are considered to be of particular relevance in African linguistics today. These involve the usual domains of grammar in synchronic linguistics (Part II), with the exception of semantics; linguistic typology and language comparison from a genetic point of view are central to Part III; a detailed investigation of all major language families with special focus on lower-level genetic groupings (Part IV) is followed by case studies of eighteen languages from different language families (Part V); language, cognition, and culture are discussed in Part VI; sociolinguistics is central to Part VII, whereas the role of language in historical studies is discussed in Part VIII; the final chapters (in Part IX) investigate the link between language and orature.

There is an emerging interest in brain-mapping projects in countries across the world, including the USA, Europe, Australia and China. In 2014, Japan started a brain-mapping project called Brain Mapping by Integrated Neurotechnologies for Disease Studies (Brain/MINDS). Brain/MINDS aims to map the structure and function of neuronal circuits to ultimately understand the vast complexity of the human brain, and takes advantage of a unique non-human primate animal model, the common marmoset ( Callithrix jacchus ). In Brain/MINDS, the RIKEN Brain Science Institute acts as a central institute. The objectives of Brain/MINDS can be categorized into the following three major subject areas: (i) structure and functional mapping of a non-human primate brain (the marmoset brain); (ii) development of innovative neurotechnologies for brain mapping; and (iii) human brain mapping; and clinical research. Brain/MINDS researchers are highly motivated to identify the neuronal circuits responsible for the phenotype of neurological and psychiatric disorders, and to understand the development of these devastating disorders through the integration of these three subject areas.

The concept of humanitarian logistics is evolving rapidly and gaining popularity in the research community. This research reviews the literature on humanitarian logistics for providing a thorough outlook into the field. In this study, Authors conducted a scientometric analysis of the literature published in 1998–2015 to empirically explore the important areas and key contributors of humanitarian logistics research and providing new outlook towards publication patterns, authorship pattern, major subject areas, research impact, and research productivity. By using scientometric analysis, the research critically evaluates 509 articles published over the past 18 years and identifies some of the major contributing authors, organizations and key research topics related to the field. In the last, the paper examines the validity of Lotka's law to authorship pattern in humanitarian logistics. The result found that the author productivity distribution data in humanitarian logistics do not follow Lotka's law. The findings of the study provide a new outlook on humanitarian logistics research.

Purpose – The four major Subject Repositories (SRs), arXiv, Research Papers in Economics (RePEc), Social Science Research Network (SSRN) and PubMed Central (PMC), are all important within their disciplines but no previous study has systematically compared how often they are cited in academic publications. In response, the purpose of this paper is to report an analysis of citations to SRs from Scopus publications, 2000-2013. Design/methodology/approach – Scopus searches were used to count the number of documents citing the four SRs in each year. A random sample of 384 documents citing the four SRs was then visited to investigate the nature of the citations. Findings – Each SR was most cited within its own subject area but attracted substantial citations from other subject areas, suggesting that they are open to interdisciplinary uses. The proportion of documents citing each SR is continuing to increase rapidly, and the SRs all seem to attract substantial numbers of citations from more than one discipline. Research limitations/implications – Scopus does not cover all publications, and most citations to documents found in the four SRs presumably cite the published version, when one exists, rather than the repository version. Practical implications – SRs are continuing to grow and do not seem to be threatened by institutional repositories and so research managers should encourage their continued use within their core disciplines, including for research that aims at an audience in other disciplines. Originality/value – This is the first simultaneous analysis of Scopus citations to the four most popular SRs.

Abstrak Salah satu tugas seorang guru adalah menyelenggarakan kegiatan belajar mengajar, didalamnya guru mempunyai tugas mengajar. Oleh karena itu guru hendaknya menguasai seluruh bidang studi, termasuk matematika. Di SDN Karawang Kulon I seorang guru merangkap sebagai guru kelas Semua mata pelajaran pokok diajarkan oleh satu guru. Akibatnya guru di SDN Karawang Kulon I belum dapat menguasai seluruh bidang studi pokok dengan baik, termasuk Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam. Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam memegang peranan penting dalam pendidikan masyarakat baik sebagai objek langsung (fakta, keterampilan, konsep, prinsip) maupun objek tak langsung (bersikap kritis, logis, tekun, mampu memecahkan masalah, dan lain-lain). Selain sebagai ilmu pengetahuan, IPA juga sebagai alat maupun sebagai pembentuk sikap yang diharapkan. Di SDN Karawang Kulon I, IPA menjadi mata pelajaran yang kurang diperhatikan oleh sebagian guru. Hal ini terbukti ketika proses pembelajaran guru tampak kurang antusias dalam menyampaikan materi. Dalam kegiatan pembelajaran di SDN Karawang Kulon I, sebelum menjalankan kegiatan belajar mengajar IPA di kelas 4, guru melakukan persiapan yaitu menyusun rencana pelaksanaan pembelajaran (RPP) dan menyiapkan berbagai bahan pelajaran yang diperlukan. Berdasarkan uraian di atas, guru mencoba mencari jalan keluar dengan merubah pola mengajarnya seperti dengan menerapkan pendekatan yang 6 sesuai dengan sub pokok bahasan yang sedang dipelajari, misalnya dengan penerapan pendekatan Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL). Abstract: One of the tasks of a teacher is to organize teaching and learning activities, in which the teacher has a teaching assignment. Therefore the teacher should master all fields of study, including mathematics. At Karawang Kulon I Elementary School a teacher concurrently as a class teacher All the main subjects are taught by one teacher. As a result, the teachers at the Karawang Kulon I Elementary School have not been able to master all major subject areas, including Natural Sciences. Natural Science plays an important role in public education both as a direct object (facts, skills, concepts, principles) and indirect objects (being critical, logical, diligent, able to solve problems, etc.). Aside from being a science, science is also a tool as well as an expected form of attitude. In Karawang Kulon I Elementary School, Natural Sciences became a subject that was not noticed by some teachers. This is evident when the teacher's learning process seems less enthusiastic in delivering the material. In the learning activities at Karawang Kulon I Elementary School, before carrying out science teaching and learning activities in grade 4, the teacher made preparations, namely preparing a lesson plan (RPP) and preparing various lesson materials needed. Based on the description above, the teacher tries to find a way out by changing his teaching pattern such as by applying the 6 approach in accordance with the sub-subject being studied, for example by applying the Contextual Teaching and Learning(CTL) approach.
