Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Corredor Verde València Sur. Estrategia Green Leaf
No full text[ES] La estrategia Green Leaf sigue el esquema de un árbol en su estructura. Empezando en el Parc Central, origen del Corredor Verde de Valencia Sur, el parque que cubrirá las vías del ferrocarril a su entrada a la ciudad, conformará la espina dorsal del sistema de espacios verdes de los barrios aledaños. De este eje vertebrador brotarán, como si fueran hojas, áreas renaturalizadas captadoras de agua de lluvia e integradas en la trama urbana existente. La revegetación de estas áreas reducirá el efecto isla de calor de los entornos urbanos que se integran en Master Plan, proveyendo a los vecinos de ambientes refrescantes. Las vías ciclables y senderos accesibles harán posible la conectividad peatonal y ciclista en el nuevo modelo de ciudad de 15 minutos. Esto supone un cambio en el modelo de movilidad vigente en el sur de la ciudad, hacia un futuro con menos tráfico rodado, ya que el planeamiento actual planteaba un eje de incorporación desde la autovía de circunvalación al centro de la ciudad. Los nuevos desarrollos residenciales en los distintos sectores, siguen el principio de eco-barrio, la nueva infraestructura verde-azul de estos ámbitos de planeamiento estará supeditada a la nueva red de movilidad sostenible.Omgeving;Quintana Seguí, Elisabet;Dent-Murgui, DS.;Peñín Llobell, B.

Pragmatic Case Studies as a Source of Unity in Applied Psychology
No full textTo unify or not to unify applied psychology: that is the question. In this article we review pendulum swings in the historical efforts to answer this question—from a comprehensive, positivist, “top-down,” deductive yes between the 1930s and the early 60s, to a postmodern no since then. A rationale and proposal for a limited, “bottom-up,” inductive yes in applied psychology is then presented, employing a case-based paradigm that integrates both positivist and postmodern themes and components. This paradigm is labeled “pragmatic psychology” and, its specific use of case studies, the “Pragmatic Case Study Method” (“PCS Method”). We call for the creation of peer-reviewed journal-databases of pragmatic case studies as a foundational source of unifying applied knowledge in our discipline. As one example, the potential of the PCS Method for unifying different angles of theoretical regard is illustrated in an area of applied psychology, psychotherapy, via the case of Mrs. B. The article then turns to the broader historical and epistemological arguments for the unifying nature of the PCS Method in both applied and basic psychology.Peer reviewe
Proposta de corredor ecológico para as áreas de recarga direta do Aquífero Guarani em Santa Catarina - Brasil
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Ambiental, Florianópolis, 2007.A água hoje e sempre será nossa principal fonte de vida, motivo pelo qual se deve ter um grau de atenção elevado para a conservação deste importante recurso. As águas superficiais presentes nos rios e lagos estão cada vez mais poluídas e escassas, uma alternativa de uso, então, são as águas subterrâneas. O uso das águas subterrâneas requer certos cuidados como a realização de estudos que relevem a importância da inter-relação entre a superfície do solo e as camadas subterrâneas que armazenam a água que se caracterizam como aqüíferos. A problemática que motiva este estudo é o uso desenfreado das reservas de água do Aqüífero Guarani, onde não se leva em conta a relação demanda e reposição de água para os mananciais subterrâneos podendo levar rapidamente a um déficit hídrico. Desta forma, as áreas de recarga direta são elementos muito importantes nesta relação de demanda de consumo e recarga de água. Este trabalho poderá contribuir para o desenvolvimento de medidas para a gestão do território e controle da exploração/recarga do aqüífero através de uma proposta de delimitação para a criação de Corredor Ecológico nas áreas de recarga direta do Aqüífero Guarani no Estado de Santa Catarina. A identificação de áreas, com maior capacidade de proporcionar recarga de água de forma direta com qualidade e quantidade para as zonas de recarga direta do aqüífero em questão, foi feita através do uso de sistemas de informações geográficas, adaptação de metodologias para delimitação de corredor ecológico e processo de análise hierárquico. Assim, foi possível propor um corredor ecológico nas áreas de recarga direta do Aqüífero Guarani em Santa Catarina.Abstract : The water today and always will be our main source of life, reason for which if it must have a degree of attention raised for the conservation of this important resource. The superficial waters gifts in the rivers and lakes are each scarce time more polluted and, a use alternative, then, they is the underground waters. The use of underground waters requires certain cares as the accomplishment of studies that raise the importance of the interrelation enters the underground surface of the ground and layers that store the water that if characterizes as aquifer. Problematic that it motivates the this study it is the wild use of the water reserves of the Guarani Aquifer, where the relation is not taken in account water demand and replacement for the underground sources being able to lead quickly to a hydric deficit. In such a way, the areas of direct recharge are very important elements in this relation of demand of consumption and water recharge. This work will be able to contribute for the development of measures for the management of the territory and control of the exploration/recharge of the aquifer one through a proposal of delimitation for the creation of Ecological Runner in the areas of direct recharge of the Guarani Aquifer in the State of Santa Catarina. The identification of areas, with bigger capacity to provide to water recharge of direct form with quality and amount for the zones of direct recharge of the aquifer one in question, was made through the use of geographic information systems, adaptation of methodologies for delimitation of ecological runner and analytic hierarchy process. Thus, it was possible to consider an ecological runner in the areas of direct recharge of the Guarani Aquifer in Santa Catarina

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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

Tall stature: A challenge for clinicians
No full textClinicians generally use the term "tall stature" to define a height more than two standard deviations above the mean for age and sex. In most cases, these subjects present with familial tall stature or a constitutional advance of growth which is diagnosed by excluding the other conditions associated with overgrowth. Nevertheless, it is necessary to be able to identify situations in which tall stature or an accelerated growth rate indicate an underlying disorder. A careful physical evaluation allows the classification of tall patients into two groups: those with a normal appearance and those with an abnormal appearance including disproportion or dysmorphism. In the first case, the growth rate has to be evaluated and, if it is normal for age and sex, the subjects may be considered as having familial tall stature or constitutional advance of growth or they may be obese, while if the growth rate is increased, pubertal status and thyroid function should be evaluated. In turn, tall subjects having an abnormal appearance can be divided into proportionate and disproportionate syndromic patients. Before initiating further investigations, the clinician needs to perform both a careful physical examination and growth evaluation. To exclude pathological conditions, the cause of tall stature needs to be considered, although most children are healthy and generally do not require treatment to inhibit growth progression. In particular cases, familial tall stature subject can be treated by inducing puberty early and leading to a complete fusion of the epiphyses, so final height is reached. This review aims to provide proposals about the management of tall children
