Cerambycid-beetles from the Ashu Experimental Forest of Kyoto University
Get PDF芦生演習林において, 今までに森林害虫として知られているカミキリムシ85種を採集することができた。採集されたそれらのリストと観察また確認された成虫の後食・産卵樹種, 幼虫の加害樹種について述べる。The present list of Cerambycid-beetles is based on the collection which we made in the Ashu Experimental Forest of Kyoto University, located at Ashu, Kyoto Prefecture, during 5 years from 1961 to 1965. As the result of the author's examination; 85 species belonging to 4 families have been recorded. Some observations including the feeding habits of the adult stage and the food plants of the larval stages were added with complete data
A vifauna in the Ashu Experimental Forest of Kyoto University
Get PDF京都大学芦生演習林において, 82種の鳥類が記録された。線センサス法によっての個体数調査を3つのコースで, 1969年および1970年の5月に行なったが, 種類数は0. 3 - 1. 3/ha, 個体数は0. 3 - 2. 2/haであった。鳥類の摂食物調査を20種25例について行なったが, ハギマシコ, カヤクグリ, カケス, ヤマドリ, カワガラスのそ嚢・砂嚢から, 砂粒が検出された。82 species of bird are recorded in and around the Ashu Experimental Forest of Kyoto University at Ashu, Miyama-cho, Kitakuwada gun, Kyoto prefecture. Investigations on individual numbers by mean of the line transect method were carried out in May, 1969 and 1970, results showed 0.3--2.2 per hectare in natural mixed forest. Food contents in the gizzards of 20 species of bird were examined and it is interesting that grits were found in the gizzards of Garrulus glandarius japonicus, Leucosticte arctoa brunneonucha, Prunella rubida rubida, Cinclus pallasii hondoensis and Phasianus soemmerringii scintillans
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
A status quo analysis of disaster risk reduction policy and legislation in Cameroon
No full textPurpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze the status quo of disaster risk reduction (DRR) policy
and legislation in Cameroon.
Design/methodology/approach – Using a qualitative method, this paper examines historical data from
sectoral administrative reports, plans, declarations, commitments and speeches, texts and peerreviewed journals on disaster and risk management in Cameroon for the period 1967-2017. Empirical
data from ten selected government sectors were used to analyze the status quo, together with
quantitative data collected by using four instruments (i.e. HFA Priority 1 & 4, USAID Toolkit, GOAL
Resilience Score and the Checklist on Law and DRR).
Findings – Findings show that Cameroon largely still practices disaster response through the
Department of Civil Protection. Transparency and accountability are the sine qua non of the state, but the
lack thereof causes improper implementation of DRR within development institutions. DRR is seen as an
ad hoc activity, with the result that there is not effective institutional capacity for implementation. The need
to develop a new national DRR framework is evident.
Originality/value – Analyzing the status quo of DRR in Cameroon could assist with the review and
reevaluation of a new DRR framework within the Cameroonian territor
