Perspectives and limits of municipal support for industry in climate protection using the example of the city of Solingen
Full text linkDie Industrie trägt durch Treibhausgasemissionen in hohem Maße zur globalen Erwärmung bei und ist gleichzeitig ihren Folgen, u. a. durch auferlegte Regularien, ausgesetzt. Da diese Emissionen auch in die kommunalen Gesamtbilanzen einfließen, ist es im Interesse der Kommunen, den Klimaschutz in Unternehmen voranzutreiben. Klimaschutzmaßnahmen in der Industrie unterliegen dabei einer Vielzahl von Barrieren und Treibern. Die Frage lautet daher: Was sind Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der kommunalen Unterstützung, um den Klimaschutz in der Industrie voranzutreiben? In dieser Arbeit werden am Beispiel der Stadt Solingen Barrieren und Treiber in der Industrie sowie Erfolgsfaktoren bei der kommunalen Unterstützung untersucht. Dazu dient eine qualitative Befragung von Kommune und Industrieunternehmen in Form von halbstandardisierten Leitfadeninterviews. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der Handlungsspielraum der Kommunen hinsichtlich der Barrieren und Treiber in der Industrie begrenzt ist. Die Unterstützung durch die Kommunen stellt für die Industrie keine Voraussetzung für betriebenen Klimaschutz dar, kann sich aber förderlich auf diesen auswirken. Potenzial ergibt sich insbesondere bei der Unterstützung von kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen, die bisher nur wenig Klimaschutz betreiben, bei der Verbesserung der kommunalen Unterstützungsmaßnahmen und bei der Ansprache der Industrie. Die unterschiedlich starke Ausprägung des Klimaschutzes in den Industrieunternehmen erfordert dabei Unterstützung auf unterschiedlichen Niveaus.Industry is a major contributor to global warming through greenhouse gas emissions, while at the same time being exposed to its consequences, e.g. by imposed regulations. As these emissions are also included in the overall municipal greenhouse gas balances, it is in the interest of municipalities to promote climate protection in industrial companies. Climate protection measures in industry are subject to a variety of barriers and drivers. Therefore, the question is: What are the possibilities and limits of municipal support to advance climate protection in industry? In this thesis, barriers and drivers in industry as well as success factors of municipal support are investigated using the example of the city of Solingen. For this purpose, a qualitative survey of municipalities and industrial companies in the form of semi-standardized guided interviews is used. The results show that the scope of action of the municipalities with regard to barriers and drivers in industry is limited. Support from municipalities is not a prerequisite for industry to engage in climate protection, but it can have a beneficial effect on it. In particular, there is potential in supporting small and medium-sized companies that have not done much climate protection to date, in improving municipal support measures and in addressing companies. The varying degrees of climate protection in industrial companies require support at different levels
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
Resilient, nachhaltig und zukunftsfähig : Leitlinien für die Stadtentwicklung von morgen
Full text linkStädte und Kommunen mussten in den vergangenen Jahren einiges aushalten: eine weltweite Corona-Pandemie, Feuerkatastrophen wie in den USA sowie Hochwasser-Katastrophen wie in Deutschland. Das sind auch Folgen des menschen-gemachten Klimawandels, auf die Städte sich in Zukunft besser vorbereiten müssen. Denn gerade die Hochwasser-Katastrophe im Juli 2021 hat gezeigt, wie wenig Kommunen auf solche Ereignisse eingerichtet sind. Dieses Impulspapier zeigt, wie Städte resilienter, nachhaltiger und zukunftsfähiger werden können
