Mind Tool and Matter- Synergies in Digital Fabrication and Bamboo Craftsmanship
Get PDFBamboo is widely used as a construction material in many places across the tropics,
presenting a viable approach to locally-sourced, sustainable resource usage.
Colombia has a well-established tradition in craftsmanship and design, preserved
in a legacy of vernacular and contemporary architecture. This research project
studies the limitations and potentials of large culms of bamboo (Guadua) for its use
in mainstream architectural design and construction. The thesis aims to integrate
digital design and fabrication technologies into existing workflows to aid and
enhance craftsmanship and design. This research project proposes an innovative
low-cost digital fabrication (CNC) machine which, through an integrated workflow,
enhances the possibilities of innovative design, fabrication and application of
bamboo buildings in mainstream contemporary construction. This proposed
methodology of design to construction can support a wider use of bamboo through
intermediate technologies, empowering communities with small to medium-sized
industrial solutions, encouraging sustainable social and economic growth. Overall,
it is argued that bamboo can contribute to the aims of a circular economy and to
meeting the UN's sustainable development goals

"Traduzir em Portugal Durante o Estado Novo" de Tersa Seruya, Maria Lin Muniz e Alexandra Assis Rosa
Get PDFFor four decades, publications related to the repressive and persecutory military dictatorship in Portugal were censored. One of the mainstays of the regime, this was practiced in all media. Books and writing were no exception. Authors subject to censorship were forced to use pseudonyms and translators were forced to become "non-existent". Even though the role of the translator has improved, it has always been undervalued, and translation seen as a mere stage in the typographical process. This book thus arises from the recognition of the lack of studies on the translator during the Estado Novo period. Published in 2009, "Translating in Portugal during the Estado Novo" is organised by Teresa Seruya, Maria Lin Moniz and Alexandra Assis Rosa. The publication covers various aspects and is an important contribution to the History of the Estado Novo.Durante 4 décadas, publicações relacionadas com a ditadura militar repressiva e persecutória vivida em Portugal eram alvos de censura. Um dos esteios do regime, esta era praticada em todos os meios da comunicação social. Os livros e a escrita não eram exceção. Os autores alvo de censura viram-se obrigados a recorrer a pseudónimos, os tradutores viram-se forçados a passar à “inexistência”. Mesmo que tenha vindo a melhorar, a função do tradutor sempre foi menosprezada, e a tradução vista como uma mera etapa do processo tipográfico. Este livro surge, assim, do reconhecimento da falta de estudos sobre o tradutor no período do Estado Novo. Publicado em 2009, “Traduzir em Portugal durante o Estado Novo” é organizado por Teresa Seruya, Maria Lin Moniz e Alexandra Assis Rosa. A publicação versa distintos aspetos e é um importante contributo para a Hsitória do Estado Novo
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
