Oswald Mathias Ungers in Berlin: Research, project and experimentation
No full textIn The City within the City: Berlin as a Green Archipelago, Ungers, along with his team of collaborators including Koolhaas, Riemann, Kollhoff, and Ovaska, defined important visions for urban life and architecture that were never realized but have continuously influenced architectural discourse, especially in the past decade. Viewed retrospectively, the Sommer Akademie held in Berlin in 1977 now appears as a primordial scene of our contemporary architecture and our way of looking at urban development. The aim of this contribution is not to discuss this document as an object of historical research but to outline the general aspects of Ungers' research on the city, within which the reflections on Berlin are situated, highlighting the main factors that influenced the genesis of the idea of the city as an archipelago. On the other hand, this contribution revisits the concept of the city as an archipelago with the belief that it can still serve as a meaningful tool for constructing new design narratives for today's cities.In The City within the City: Berlin as a green archipel Ungers, insieme al suo gruppo di collaboratori tra cui Koolhaas, Riemann, Kollhoff e Ovaska, ha definito importanti visioni per la vita urbana e l'architettura che non furono mai realizzate, ma che hanno interessato con continuità il dibattito architettonico, soprattutto nell'ultimo decennio. Guardata retrospettivamente, la Sommer Akademie tenutasi a Berlino nel 1977 appare oggi come la scena primordiale della nostra architettura contemporanea e del nostro modo di guardare allo sviluppo delle città. L'obiettivo del contributo non è discutere di questo documento come oggetto di una ricerca storica ma tracciare i tratti generali della ricerca ungersiana sulla città in cui si collocano le riflessioni su Berlino, delineando i fattori principali che hanno influito sulla genesi dell'idea della città arcipelago. Dall'altro lato il contributo torna a parlare di città arcipelago nella convinzione che possa ancora costituire uno strumento significante per costruire nuove narrative di progetto per la città di oggi
Community, Public Space and Digital Data: Bologna interactive urban furniture lab
Full text linkThrough the manifestation of digital traces, the research demonstrates how it is possible to value behaviors and actions present in space at a certain moment, recalling them as echoes in subsequent temporalities within space. The contribution fits into the problematic of the contemporary city, the applied context being the Quadrilatero Malvasia and the Barca neighborhood in Bologna, where spaces are layered day after day with digital data produced by the space itself and the people who pass through it. Product design that delves into the urban dimension, exploring the relationship between digital data, space, and user behavior, are explored to reveal a variety of methodologies. Experimentation carried out by students working groups, in cooperation with the course in Advanced Design of University of Bologna and the local cultural association Fondazione e Innovazione Urbana, provides some original design directions for designers who venture to imagine new urban objects.Attraverso la manifestazione di tracce digitali, la ricerca mostra come sia possibile dare valore a comportamenti e azioni presenti nello spazio in un certo momento, rievocandole come echi in successive temporalità nello spazio. Il contributo si inserisce nell’ambito problematico della città contemporanea - il contesto applicativo sono il Quadrilatero Malvasia e il quartiere Barca di Bologna -, nei cu spazi si stratificano giorno dopo giorno i dai dati digitali prodotti dallo spazio e dalle persone che vi transitano. Le espressioni progettuali legate al product design che approfondiscono, nella dimensione urbana, la relazione dato digitale/spazio/comportamento utente, mostrano una limitata varietà di metodologie e di effettivi casi studio. La sperimentazione effettuata dal gruppo di lavoro si inserisce in questo ambito e fornisce alcune originali direzioni progettuali ai designer che si spingano ad immaginare nuovi oggetti urbani
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
