Analyse der Relevanz von weg- und tourenbasierten Verkehrsmittelwahlansätzen am Beispiel eines aggregierten und eines aktivitätenbasierten Verkehrsmodells der Stadt Halle
No full textDie Masterarbeit untersucht die Relevanz und Auswirkung von weg- und tourenbasierten Verkehrsmittelwahlansätzen. Hierzu erfolgt zunächst eine qualitative Beschreibung der Wirkungsweise verschiedener Ansätze zur Modellierung der Verkehrsmittelwahl. Der Schwerpunkt wird insbesondere auf den Aggregation Bias und die Nutzenfunktion gelegt. Im Rahmen von Fallstudien mit synthetischen Daten und einem Verkehrsmodell erfolgt eine quantitative Abschätzung der Relevanz des Aggregation Bias.https://www.fhnw.ch/verkehr-und-mobilitae
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
How relevant is the aggregation bias with regards to mode choice?
No full textMost travel demand models used in practice still apply a four-step approach which describes travel demand in an aggregated manner. Aggregation bias refers to the assumption that group characteristics are shared by all the individuals who are members of that group as compared to an approach that evaluates travel behaviour on the level of individuals. The use of average values applied to aggregated populations across spatial zones and time periods distorts a model’s sensitivity to investment and policy alternatives (Castiglione u. a. 2015).
Our paper examines the relevance and impact of aggregation bias with regards to trip- and tour-based mode choice. The paper starts with a short literature review and a theoretical description of the problem. The main part of the paper consists of two case studies which we have developed to quantitatively assess the relevance of the aggregation bias.
The first case study is based on synthetic data that reflects typical rates of mobility tool ownership and travel times by different modes for a given travel relation in an urban, agglomeration and rural context in Switzerland. The relevance of the aggregation bias is assessed by different ways to consider mobility tool ownership and systematic adaptations of the considered travel times.
The second case study is based on the implementation of an activity-based and disaggregated demand model for the German city of Halle based on which an aggregated model is derived that shared exact same transport network and overall travel demand. We use the two models to assess the relevance of the aggregation bias based on three scenarios with different transport planning measures.https://www.strc.ch/2023.ph
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
