Human Resource Development Review’s 20th Anniversary of Publication: Main Topics and Influence

To celebrate Human Resource Development Review’s (HRDR’s) 20th anniversary of publication, I was asked by the HRDR Editor-in-Chief to conduct a topic analysis of HRDR articles over the past two decades. The purpose of this study, therefore, is to identify major topics from all HRDR articles published from 2002–2021 by reviewing keywords and citation frequency. After identifying 394 articles (excluding editorials), the main topics and the most influential articles were identified. Literature review articles followed by employee engagement were the most frequently cited over the past 20 years. In the future, there is a need to conduct more in-depth analysis to better understand the relevant topics and influence of HRDR articles using accurate categories and advanced techniques.

Bert-Based Latent Semantic Analysis (Bert-LSA): A Case Study on Geospatial Data Technology and Application Trend Analysis

Geospatial data is an indispensable data resource for research and applications in many fields. The technologies and applications related to geospatial data are constantly advancing and updating, so identifying the technologies and applications among them will help foster and fund further innovation. Through topic analysis, new research hotspots can be discovered by understanding the whole development process of a topic. At present, the main methods to determine topics are peer review and bibliometrics, however they just review relevant literature or perform simple frequency analysis. This paper proposes a new topic discovery method, which combines a word embedding method, based on a pre-trained model, Bert, and a spherical k-means clustering algorithm, and applies the similarity between literature and topics to assign literature to different topics. The proposed method was applied to 266 pieces of literature related to geospatial data over the past five years. First, according to the number of publications, the trend analysis of technologies and applications related to geospatial data in several leading countries was conducted. Then, the consistency of the proposed method and the existing method PLSA (Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis) was evaluated by using two similar consistency evaluation indicators (i.e., U-Mass and NMPI). The results show that the method proposed in this paper can well reveal text content, determine development trends, and produce more coherent topics, and that the overall performance of Bert-LSA is better than PLSA using NPMI and U-Mass. This method is not limited to trend analysis using the data in this paper; it can also be used for the topic analysis of other types of texts.

PROBLEMS OF APPLICATION OF ACTIVE LEARNING METHODS IN PHYSICS AND METHODS OF SOLUTION

This article discusses the problems that arise when using active methods of teaching physics in the educational process according to the updated curriculum, and ways to solve them. The analysis of documents, survey methods, analysis of the results of scientific research on the topic. Analysis of domestic and foreign articles. As a result of the study, problems, difficulties and a number of ways to solve them were identified when using active teaching methods by teachers of physics and natural science.In addition, the classification and benefits of active teaching methods are presented. Examples of active physics lessons, practical exercises are considered. It guides students in solving theoretical problems and issues of daily life. It is convenient to systematize a large amount of information in lectures and practical exercises, where the main issues of the topic are explained and recommendations for independent study of the material are given.The results of scientific research can be a useful and auxiliary tool for students, young professionals, teachers of physics and natural science in higher and special educational institutions.

Analisis Semiotika Representasi Pria Metroseksual dalam Video Musik Seventeen “Thanks”

Metrosexual men are men who take care of themselves and care about their appearance, at this time this is a natural thing and there are many beauty products specifically for men to maintain their appearance.

To be able to do this analysis, the writer conducted research by analyzing the clips in the music video, therefore in this study the writer chose to use qualitative research methods. This research technique uses Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis theory which sees signs as denotations and connotations. With data techniques using observation techniques. The observation technique referred to by the author is to make observations made by the author of the Seventeen music video entitled "Thank you". The author watches in detail to capture events or signs related to the topic analysis. From the observations made by the author, the narrative of events and clear scene snippets of the representation of metrosexual men as seen from the clothes, make-up, accessories, and hair used in the music video are supported by gender theory derived from Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis. the research conducted gets credible results from the authors.Pria Metroseksual adalah pria yang pria yang merawat diri dan peduli dengan penampilannya, pada saat ini hal tersebut merupakan hal yang wajar dan sudah banyak prisuk kecantikan yang di khusus kan untuk para pria untuk menjaga penampilan mereka.

Teknik penelitian ini menggunakan teori analisis semiotika Roland Barthes yang melihat tanda sebagai denotasi dan konotasi. Dengan teknik pengumpulan data dengan menggunakan teknik observasi. Teknik observasi yang dimaksud dengan penulis adalah dengan melakukan kegiatan pengamatan yang dilakukan penulis terhadap musik video Seventeen yang berjudul “Thanks”. Penulis menyaksikan secara detail untuk menangkap peristiwa atau tanda yang terkait dengan topik analisis.
