The construction of the historic urban landscape from an interdisciplinary and citizen perspective. The case of Cuenca, Ecuador
No full textEl Centro Histórico de Santa Ana de los Ríos de Cuenca fue inscrito en 1999 en la Lista de Patrimonio Mundial (LPM) de la Unesco. La ausencia de un Plan de Gestión de dicho Centro Histórico ha provocado que en los últimos 15 años que han transcurrido desde su Declaratoria se pongan en peligro los valores excepcionales universales en los que se apoyan los criterios para su inscripción en la LPM. En la Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo de la Universidad de Cuenca se ha iniciado un proyecto de investigación cuyo objetivo es la aplicación de la Recomendación del Paisaje Urbano Histórico (PUH) en la ciudad de Cuenca. Este estudio se concibe como una nueva manera de pensar en la protección e intervención del
Centro Histórico de Cuenca, al tiempo que elaborar una propuesta para el desarrollo urbano futuro de la ciudad de Cuenca a partir de sus valores culturales. Debido a la amplitud conceptual del proyecto y a la complejidad de la cuestión patrimonial en el ámbito urbano, se ha considerado necesario la incorporación de disciplinas como el medioambiente, la economía, la arquitectura, la antropología, la arqueología y la geología. Sin embargo, la gran apuesta de este proyecto es convertir al ciudadano en el auténtico protagonista de la investigación, ya que son realmente los cuencanos de a pie quienes disponen de esa información de primera mano para elaborar un diagnóstico y una propuesta de intervención en la ciudad. Se considera fundamental entender el protagonismo activo de la ciudadanía como un proceso de cambio social y sostenibilidad. Se trata de construir entre todos en un proceso de reflexión conjunta como es la ciudad que queremos.
La vinculación de Cuenca con el más reciente enfoque de gestión del Patrimonio definido por la Unesco en 2011, el del Paisaje Urbano Histórico (PUH), tiene sus inicios en el 2013 a partir de las investigaciones que desarrolla el Proyecto vlirCPM “Manejo y Preservación de la Ciudad Patrimonio Mundial”.
El proyecto vlirCPM, nace a partir de una alianza internacional estratégica entre la Universidad de Cuenca y el VLIR (Vlaamse Interuniversitaire Raad), cuya contraparte específica es la Universidad Católica de Leuven (K.U. Leuven). Una de las líneas de investigación de este proyecto es precisamente la del “Paisaje Urbano Histórico”, consolidada durante el año 2014, gracias al grupo de investigadores involucrados en ella. Como productos de esta fase de investigación se obtuvo la Tesis de Posgrado: «Historic Urban Landscape units for the Historic City Center of Cuenca and its Buffer Zones », redactada por María Eugenia Siguencia, y el Proyecto de Investigación «La intervención en los bienes y en el paisaje. La aplicación de la figura de Paisaje Urbano Histórico como herramienta de desarrollo sostenible» elaborado en el seno del Programa Beca Prometeo por la PhD. Julia Rey Pérez.The Historic Center of Santa Ana de los Ríos de Cuenca was inscribed in 1999 on the World Heritage List (LPM) from Unesco. The absence of a Management Plan for said Historic Center has caused that in the last 15 years that have passed since its Declaration jeopardize outstanding universal values
on which the criteria for their registration are based in the LPM. At the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of Cuenca, a research project has been initiated whose objective is the application of the Recommendation of the Historic Urban Landscape (PUH) in the Cuenca city. This study is conceived as a new way of thinking about the protection and intervention of the Historic Center of Cuenca, while developing a proposal for the future urban development of the city of Cuenca based on its cultural values. Due to the conceptual breadth of the project and the complexity of the patrimonial issue in the urban area, it has been considered necessary the incorporation of disciplines such as the environment, economy, architecture, anthropology, archeology and geology. However, the great bet of this project is to convert the citizen the true protagonist of the investigation, since It is really ordinary Cuencanos who have
of that first-hand information to develop a diagnosis and a proposal for intervention in the city.Cuenc
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
