Curriculum in Landscape ArchitectureUrban displacement that results from armed conflicts causes multi-level changes to the physical,
social, and cultural landscapes. The conventional narrative of displacement focuses on displaced
communities and overlooks those who host them. This research incorporates the displaced and
host communities’ perspectives to identify patterns, drivers, and processes of change, and its
impacts on place attachment and social cohesion. A Syrian city1, that had hosted displaced
persons, is selected as a study case. The research methodology integrates qualitative research
methods into the urban profiling methodology to structure a three-phased narrative; before,
during, and after the war. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with residents
and displaced persons, both internally displaced and refugees. The research ethical
considerations led to developing an artificial-intelligence-powered visualisation approach for
building two-dimensional visual representation for urban landscapes based on inputs from the
data sources/interviewees’ narratives. The research finds that memories of places provide
insights into the history of a place, with the characteristics of places contributing to shaping
people’s memories and boosting social connections. Changes in the physical landscape result
from the interrelation between physical, social, and cultural structures. Multifunctional spaces
contribute to coping with crises. Internal displacement, migration, population increase, and changes in the social structure cause changes in the social landscape. Changes in the cultural
affiliations influence social relationships, and the symbolism of places is subject to change based
on their function, use, and social context. Place attachment is impacted by placemaking efforts,
capacity for rehabilitation, sense of ownership, engagement of stakeholders, symbolism of
places, safety, belonging, and life phase. Acceptance for change, business relationships, conflict
mediation, and solidarity promote social cohesion. The findings of this research contribute to
inform comprehensive, context-specific policies to support the endeavours of rehabilitation and
restoration to be more resilient and inclusive for the impacts of displacement and war.Linnaline väljatõrjumine, mis tuleneb relvakonfliktidest, põhjustab mitmetasandilisi muutusi
füüsilistes, sotsiaalsetes ja kultuurilistes maastikes. Väljatõrjutud kogukondadele keskenduv
tavapärane narratiiv eirab neid, kes neid võõrustavad. Käesolev uurimus hõlmab nii
väljatõrjutud kui ka võõrustavate kogukondade vaatenurki, et tuvastada muutuste mustrid,
põhjused ja protsessid ning nende mõju kohakinnitumisele ja sotsiaalsele ühtekuuluvusele.
Uuringu juhtumiuuringuks on valitud Süüria linn2, kus oli võõrustatud ümberasustatud isikuid.
Uurimismeetodoloogia ühendab kvalitatiivsed uurimismeetodid linnade profiilimise
metoodikaga, et struktureerida kolmefaasilist narratiivi: enne, ajal ja pärast sõda. Viidi läbi
põhjalikud poolstruktureeritud intervjuud nii kohalike elanike kui ka ümberasustatud isikute, nii
sisemiselt ümberasustatud kui ka pagulaste seas. Uurimuse eetilised kaalutlused viisid
kunstliku-intellekti toel teadmiste visualiseerimise lähenemisviisi väljatöötamiseni, et luua
kahepoolsel andmeallikatel/poolstruktureeritud intervjuude jutustustel põhinev
kahemõõtmeline visuaalne esitus linnamaastikest. Uurimus näitab, et paikade mälestused
annavad ülevaate paiga ajaloost, kusjuures paikade omadused aitavad kujundada inimeste
mälestusi ja tugevdada sotsiaalseid sidemeid. Füüsilise maastiku muutused tulenevad füüsiliste,
sotsiaalsete ja kultuuriliste struktuuride omavahelisest seosest. Mitmeotstarbelised ruumid aitavad kriisidega toime tulla. Sisemine ümberasumine, ränne, rahvaarvu suurenemine ja
sotsiaalse struktuuri muutused põhjustavad sotsiaalse maastiku muutusi. Kultuuriliste
kuuluvuste muutused mõjutavad sotsiaalseid suhteid ning paikade sümbolism muutub nende
funktsiooni, kasutuse ja sotsiaalse konteksti alusel. Kohakinnitumist mõjutavad
kohakujundamise jõupingutused, taastusravi võimekus, omanditunne, osalevate osapoolte
kaasatus, paikade sümbolism, turvalisus, kuulumine ja eluetapp. Muutuste aktsepteerimine,
ärivõrgustikud, konfliktide lepitamine ja solidaarsus soodustavad sotsiaalset ühtekuuluvust.
Käesoleva uurimuse järeldused aitavad luua terviklikke, kontekstispetsiifilisi poliitikaid, et
toetada ümberasumise ja sõja mõjude suhtes vastupidavamat ja kaasavamat taastusravi ja
taastamise pingutusi

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
