Whose City Is It? : A Thinking Tour of Darwin
No full textDarwin has unique historic, political, economic, demographic, and sociocultural characteristics that have made the capital of the Northern Territory a fascinating but sometimes challenging place to live. Darwin's population is projected to grow substantially over the next twenty or thirty years. Managing future growth will require a thorough understanding of the conditions that have shaped the economic, urban and social fabric of the city. This book aims to provide a thinking guide to Darwin to encourage locals and visitors alike to debate the various aspects that determine the way the city is functioning as a place to live, work, invest or visit. The book will reports on a variety of information and perspectives, including formal research and informal accounts of personal experiences provided by guest commentators in leading positions within Darwin society. The book takes the reader on a tour through Darwin and its immediate surroundings. The tour stops at particular places of historic and contemporary interest along the way and critically reflects on the opportunities and challenges of a range of factors that create and influence urban and community space in Darwin. Topics examined include demographic trends, political governance, economic investment, planning, industrial development, Aboriginal interests, housing, transport, education, health services, employment, defence presence, tourism, entertainment, sports and recreation, and hinterland development. The Whose City is it? guide aims to help Darwin contextualise the opportunities and challenges it faces as it continues to grow.Jira Ticket : CDU-14: Collection Development Manager made the decision that for the books that have this message "

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
Med blicken mot Norr : att leva, arbeta och resa i glesbygd
No full textDenna bok är en översatt och omarbetad version av boken Dipping in to the North: Living, Working and Traveling in Sparsely Populated Areas, utgiven på engelska av Palgrave Macmillan förlag (år 2020). Redaktörerna för den boken är Linda Lundmark, Dean B. Carson och Marco Eimermann. Boken är utformad som en samling kapitel runt tre teman: i) vilka som lever, ii) vilka som arbetar och iii) vilka som reser inom det glest befolkade norr. Inom varje tema fokuserar kapitlen på olika former av mobilitet, migration och icke mobilitet och placerar individer som lever, reser och arbetar i norr i relation till aktuella frågor för området samt inom deras historiska och samtida kontext. Boken nyanserar vanligt förekommande myter som porträtterar glest befolkade områden som att de antingen ständigt kämpar med flertalet utmaningar eller som en tidlös lantlig idyll.Vår forskning hade inte varit möjlig utan alla intervjupersoner och deltagare som har delat sina tankar med oss. Forskningsrådet för hållbarutveckling FORMAS finansierade forskningsprojekten “Landsbygdensresurser i förändring: nya möjligheter och utmaningar i rörlighetens tid” (#2011-72), “Mikro-urbanisering och mobilitet i norra Sveriges glesbygd: utmaningar och möjligheter för små samhällen” (#2016-344), ”Urban tillväxt i nordliga periferier och utvecklingsmöjligheter i landsbygds-områden” (#2016-352) och “Får pengarna jorden att snurra? Geografiska perspektiv på ”downshifting” och frivillig enkelhet som hållbara livsstilar” (#2018-547). Nätverksmötet inom ramen för Arctic-FROST 2017 har inspirerat oss i vårt efterföljande arbete. Finansiering för detta möte kom från American National Science Foundation (NSF), anslagsnummer PLR#1338850. Riksbankens Jubileumsfond har bidragit genom att finansiera ett forskningsinitieringsprojekt om ”transienta” befolkningar i föränderliga landsbygder (2017) och delar av 2019 års möte i Umeå med forskare inom det internationella nätverket ”Lifestyle Migration Hub”.

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
