Translating voluminous amounts of data into useful information for decision-making has received increasing attention in recent years but has not been sufficiently resolved. This dissertation responds to the increasing need for better defining urban science and better understanding its role in urban planning. I seek to understand the role of emerging data and technology in innovative planning support strategies. I focus my study on Planning Support Systems (PSSs) and explore several opportunities for enhancing PSSs with open data, big data and open-source software. PSSs represent sustained intellectual efforts to improve urban planning outcomes through the development of tools, models, and processes to enable more informed decisions. The following research questions guide this research: 1) at the background of smart cities and big data, what are the opportunities and barriers for integrating contemporary technologies in the development of ‘next generation’ PSSs? 2) How can PSSs leverage open data, big data, and open-source software to achieve better decision support for public policy? And 3) How can open data and urban science add to the broader subject of urban planning? I answer these questions through a mixture of literature review and model prototyping. I first draw insights from urban science studies to critically assess ways of successfully navigating urban planning challenges posed by digital technology. I contend that PSSs need to be enhanced by urban science and open data to be more transparent and user-friendly, while paying explicit attention to its application contexts. I then explore and build more open, and context-sensitive planning support models based on my research at the Land Use Evolution and Impact Assessment Model (LEAM) PSS at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Through my model development work on three cases, I demonstrate ways of integrating open data, transparent and replicable processes, and interpretable modeling features into traditional PSSs, and argue that we can indeed better align data-informed decision-making with essential planning goals for the future development of PSSs. Furthermore, I review planning theory as well as research on citizen participation in the age of information and communication, reevaluate the value that urban science adds to planning in terms of increased transparency and inclusiveness, and identify questions and limitations that need to be further addressed. The findings of this dissertation inform urban planners about multiple technical aspects needed for enhancing PSSs applications, and urban scientists about social and ethical challenges presented in policymaking, thereby suggesting a more interdisciplinary urban science study in the future. Long-term urban science development requires more interdisciplinary education and practice as well as the focus on data ethics, algorithm justice, and public empowerment
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
Effects of dance sports exercise on vestibular function and balance of children with sensorineural hearing loss; a randomized quasi-experimental trial
Full text linkBackgroundSensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) children have difficulty living and limited movement due to impaired vestibular function and reduced balance ability.ObjectivesThe present study evaluated the effects of Latin dance training on the vestibular function and balance of SNHL children.MethodsThirty SNHL children with no difference in vestibular function and balance ability were randomly divided into two groups, the Latin dance training group (LTG, n = 15) and the control group (CONG, n = 15). Vestibular function, timed eyes-closed static (ECS) and functional reach test (FRT) were measured before and after the intervention, and a two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance was performed.ResultsAfter training, the vestibular function performance of LTG was higher than that of CONG (CONG: 16.425 ± 3.616 vs. LTG: 12.241 ± 2.610, p = 0.0411, ES = 1.3914), the left foot ECS performance of LTG was higher than that of CONG (CONG: 2.765 ± 0.872 vs. LTG: 4.688 ± 1.113, p = 0.0026, ES = 1.9857), the right foot ECS performance of LTG was higher than that of CONG (CONG: 3.113 ± 0.639 vs. LTG: 4.797 ± 1.071, p = 0.0137, ES = 2.01), the FRT performance of LTG was higher than that of CONG (CONG: 32.009 ± 6.134 vs. LTG: 43.797 ± 6.616, p = 0.0021, ES = 1.9135).ConclusionsAfter Latin dance training, SNHL children improved vestibular function and balance. The static balance ability of the left foot has been improved significantly than right foot
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
Effectiveness and safety of using acupoint Shui Gou (GV 26): A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
No full textAbstractBackground \ GV26\ is well known as an emergency and a revival acupoint. It has been most commonly used for acute neurological conditions and acute low back strain (ALBS). This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness and occurrence of adverse effects of using \ GV26\ for a variety conditions; and to determine the appropriate parameters to inform its use in practice. Methods Randomized controlled trials evaluating stimulation of \ GV26\ as a sole or as an adjunct to treatment for any condition were included. Quality of reporting and methodology were assessed using \ STRICTA\ and the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Meta-analysis was pooled with RevMan 5.2 software (Protocol ID: CRD42013006528). Results Fifteen trials investigated conditions which included shock, epilepsy, vascular dementia, febrile seizures in children, post general anesthesia, acute low back strain, functional enuresis, and intractable hiccups. The reporting quality and methodological quality of all included trials was limited. Data from eleven trials were pooled. Significant favorable improvements were shown for \ GV26\ used in addition to other common acupoints as measured by efficacy rate; \ GV26\ in addition to usual care as measured by blood pressure. No study reported any adverse effects. Conclusions There appears to be evidence on the use of \ GV26\ for improving efficacy rate in ALBS, functional enuresis and intractable hiccups, and it appears to be effective in increasing blood pressure and reducing heart rate during revival. However, the findings should be interpreted with caution due to the limited methodological quality of included trials
