Spazi intermedi e neutralità climatica. Strategie sostenibili di progettazione tecnologica ambientale degli spazi intermedi per la decarbonizzazione dei distretti urbani: Naturalità, Prossimità, Circolarità
No full textLe città hanno un ruolo centrale nel perseguimento dell’obiettivo prioritario di neutralità climatica entro il 2050. L’intervento integrato sui sistemi urbani può massimizzare i contributi derivanti dalle reti ecologiche, migliorare i processi di circolarità delle risorse, ridurre le emissioni di GHG, favorendo l’adozione di stili di vita più sostenibili.
La presente Tesi si propone di indagare il contributo alla riduzione delle emissioni di CO2 nei distretti urbani dato dalla progettazione tecnologica ambientale degli spazi intermedi. Attraverso l’analisi di un significativo numero di casi studio internazionali sono state individuate strategie di Naturalità, Prossimità e Circolarità applicabili alle diverse tipologie di spazi intermedi. Un’analisi comparativa dei principali strumenti di valutazione di sostenibilità a livello di quartiere con i settori di emissione ne ha verificato le correlazioni.
La sistematizzazione delle analisi elaborate durante tutto l’iter di Ricerca ha portato a delineare un quadro sinottico di sintesi e a costruire uno strumento di indirizzo alla progettazione e di valutazione quali-quantitativa del contributo alla riduzione delle emissioni di CO2, relativamente a Strategie, Azioni Strategiche, Protocolli di Certificazione, Settori di Emissione e Tipologie di Spazi Intermedi, rivolto a progettisti, tecnici, amministratori e stakeholder.Cities play a central role in achieving the priority objective of climate neutrality by 2050. Integrated interventions in urban systems can maximize the contributions from ecological networks, improve the process of resource circularity, reduce GHG emissions, and promote more sustainable lifestyles.
The Thesis aims to investigate the contribution to the reduction of CO2 emissions in urban districts through the environmental technological design of in-between spaces. By analyzing a significant number of international case studies, strategies of Naturalness, Proximity, and Circularity, applicable to different typologies of in-between spaces are identified. A comparative analysis of the main Neighborhood Sustainability Assessment Tools and the Emission Sectors verifies their correlations.
The systematization of the analyses conducted led to outline a synoptic summary framework and to develop a guidance tool for design and qualitative-quantitative assessment of the contribution to CO2 emissions reduction, relating to Strategies, Strategic Actions, Certification Protocols, Emission Sectors, and Typologies of in-between spaces, addressing to designers, technicians, administrators, and stakeholders
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
