Architectural heritage restoration of Rumah Datuk Setia via mobile augmented reality restoration
No full textThis paper focuses on Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) for architectural
heritage restoration as an alternative technique to visually restore the ruined rear
house of Rumah Datuk Setia, Kuala Kangsar, Perak. The research consists of the
development of Virtual Heritage (VH) based on the architectural heritage
information of the ruined rear house, such as spatial organization, construction,
ornamentation, material
The Great Mosque of Hohhot (Qingzhen Dasi), Inner Mongolia, People’s Republic of China—More than a Mosque
Get PDFGreat Mosque of Hohhot (Qingzhen Dasi) being the oldest mosque still erected since last four centuries in the city of Hohhot (Capital city of Inner Mongolia), P. R. China has always been important to the Muslim community there. It is undoubtedly true that the mosque should play an important role in the society and should witness many events that may involve in developing the Muslim community within their society. Mosques even during the time of prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him played several roles like; a place for worship, a place for reading, a place for negotiation, a place for treating sick persons and so on.
In this regard it is very interesting to note the present roles of Great Mosque (Qingzhen Dasi) for the development of community of Muslims in the city of Hohhot. Being located in one of the remote areas of China, where Muslims in China are one of the minorities in the majority of the non-Muslims. The Great Mosque (Qingzhen Dasi) is playing tremendous roles not only for Muslims in the city of Hohhot but it is also considered as one of the important land mark as well as the urban node of the city. This paper unfolds all those tremendous roles of Great Mosque (Qingzhen Dasi) playing for the benefits of the Muslims as well as non-Muslims in the city of Hohhot and recommends conserving the Mosque for the future generations
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
BRIDGING TRADITION AND MODERNITY: BRICK ARCHITECTURE AND CRITICAL REGIONALISM IN CONTEMPORARY VILLAGE RESIDENCE IN BANGLADESH
No full textTraditional brick has been the most preferred construction material in the Bengal region since 300 BC. During the renaissance of modern architecture in Bangladesh, which began in the early 1950s, brick architecture was revived through large-scale national projects as well as smaller private projects. This trend has continued and evolved into various experimental approaches integrating brick with other contemporary materials. This paper aims to illustrate the application of brick as a sustainable and contextual material and its use in different architectural elements to achieve climate-responsive architecture in a single-family residence. Moreover, it explores how contemporary brick architecture can blend seamlessly into the rural context of Bangladesh without disrupting the existing rich rural fabric and lifestyle. Adopting a qualitative approach, the paper presents a brief literature review on the chronological development of critical regionalism through brick architecture. Additionally, architectural drawings of the case study residence are analysed to demonstrate the application of critical regionalism in contemporary architecture in rural Bangladesh. The findings show that incorporating conventional materials that can be locally sourced provides flexibility in terms of available expertise while enabling architecture to blend into the existing socio-cultural context. This approach supports the advancement of the architecture industry in contemporary times
