Statistics Canada, 2024, "HART - 2021 Census of Canada - Selected Characteristics of Households led by Older Adults for Housing Need - Canada, all provinces and territories, at the Census Division (CD), and Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) level [custom tabulation]
No full textHousing Assessment Resource Tools (HART)
This dataset contains 2 tables and 5 files which draw upon data from the 2021 Census of Canada. The tables are a custom order and contain data pertaining to older adults and housing need. The 2 tables have 6 dimensions in common and 1 dimension that is unique to each table.
Table 1's unique dimension is the "Ethnicity / Indigeneity status" dimension which contains data fields related to visible minority and Indigenous identity within the population in private households. Table 2's unique dimension is "Structural type of dwelling and Period of Construction" which contains data fields relating to the structural type and period of construction of the dwelling.
Each of the two tables is then split into multiple files based on geography. Table 1 has two files: Table 1.1 includes Canada, Provinces and Territories (14 geographies), CDs of NWT (6), CDs of Yukon (1) and CDs of Nunavut (3); and Table 1.2 includes Canada and the CMAs of Canada (44). Table 2 has three files: Table 2.1 includes Canada, Provinces and Territories (14), CDs of NWT (6), CDs of Yukon (1) and CDs of Nunavut (3); Table 2.2 includes Canada and the CMAs of Canada excluding Ontario and Quebec (20 geographies); and Table 2.3 includes Canada and the CMAs of Canada that are in Ontario and Quebec (25 geographies).
The dataset is in Beyond 20/20 (.ivt) format. The Beyond 20/20 browser is required in order to open it. This software can be freely downloaded from the Statistics Canada website: https://www.statcan.gc.ca/eng/public/beyond20-20 (Windows only).

Custom order from Statistics Canada includes the following dimensions and data fields:
Geography:
- Country of Canada as a whole
- All 10 Provinces (Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island (PEI), Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia) as a whole
- All 3 Territories (Nunavut, Northwest Territories, Yukon), as a whole as well as all census divisions (CDs) within the 3 territories
- All 43 census metropolitan areas (CMAs) in Canada
Data Quality and Suppression:
- The global non-response rate (GNR) is an important measure of census data quality. It combines total non-response (households) and partial non-response (questions). A lower GNR indicates a lower risk of non-response bias and, as a result, a lower risk of inaccuracy. The counts and estimates for geographic areas with a GNR equal to or greater than 50% are not published in the standard products. The counts and estimates for these areas have a high risk of non-response bias, and in most cases, should not be released.
- Area suppression is used to replace all income characteristic data with an 'x' for geographic areas with populations and/or number of households below a specific threshold. If a tabulation contains quantitative income data (e.g., total income, wages), qualitative data based on income concepts (e.g., low income before tax status) or derived data based on quantitative income variables (e.g., indexes) for individuals, families or households, then the following rule applies: income characteristic data are replaced with an 'x' for areas where the population is less than 250 or where the number of private households is less than 40.

- When showing count data, Statistics Canada employs random rounding in order to reduce the possibility of identifying individuals within the tabulations. Random rounding transforms all raw counts to random rounded counts. Reducing the possibility of identifying individuals within the tabulations becomes pertinent for very small (sub)populations. All counts are rounded to a base of 5, meaning they will end in either 0 or 5. The random rounding algorithm controls the results and rounds the unit value
of the count according to a predetermined frequency. Counts ending in 0 or 5 are not changed.

Population aged 55 years and over in owner and tenant households with household total income greater than zero in non-reserve non-farm private dwellings.
Definition of Households examined for Core Housing Need:
Private, non-farm, non-reserve, owner- or renter-households with incomes greater than zero and shelter-cost-to-income ratios less than 100% are assessed for 'Core Housing Need.' Non-family Households with at least one household maintainer aged 15 to 29 attending school are considered not to be in Core Housing Need, regardless of their housing circumstances.

Policy proposals for ageing in place : interventions for successful ageing in place in Windsor, Canada and Brescia, Italy
No full textLAUREA MAGISTRALEGlobalmente, la tendenza demografica dell'invecchiamento della popolazione rappresenta una sfida per gli attori governativi, gli urbanisti, i responsabili politici e le organizzazioni della società civile. Allo stesso tempo, l'ageing in place (invecchiare a casa) come strategia di pianificazione e di policy ha il potenziale per creare le condizioni affinché le città diventino ambienti a misura di anziano. Questa tesi ipotizza che l'ageing in place sia una strategia promettente per la pianificazione e le politiche urbane future, indipendentemente dal contesto nazionale, per riformulare l’impostazione della pianificazione dominante che è meno favorevole agli anziani come stakeholder rilevanti. L'ipotesi porta alla seguente domanda di ricerca: in quale misura e come le città che stanno sperimentando l'invecchiamento della popolazione possono utilizzare il concetto di ageing in place come strumento di pianificazione e politica per creare le condizioni affinché gli anziani possano invecchiare a casa con dignità, indipendenza e scelta? La rassegna della letteratura sui contributi emersi nella gerontologia sociale e nell’urbanistica identifica cinque dicotomie, che offrono utili quadri da cui partire per analizzare lo stato attuale dell'ageing in place nei casi studio di Windsor (Canada) e Brescia (Italia). I casi di studio descrivono le condizioni esistenti per l'invecchiamento a casa a tre scale spaziali: l'unità abitativa interna (spesso di alloggi sociali) o la casa privata unifamiliare, il condominio o il lotto di case private indipendenti, e il quartiere. I casi studio sono integrati da una rassegna delle politiche e dei programmi esistenti e individua sei principali criticità e potenzialità organizzate nei temi dell'invecchiamento a casa legati all'assistenza, alla casa e alle ICT. Sulla base della revisione della letteratura e delle analisi presentate nei casi studio, l'ipotesi e la domanda di ricerca trovano risposta in una proposta in sei parti per i programmi di invecchiamento a casa in ambito assistenziale, domiciliare e ICT: Continuum of Care, Neighborhoods of Care, Green Retrofitting, Adaptable Home Modifications, Alternative Housing Typologies, Telemedicine e Social Calls. Queste proposte offrono un quadro per le aree urbane e le città per attuare politiche di ageing in place, adattate ai loro contesti unici, e sottolineano il potenziale dei residenti più anziani come risorsa per la comunità.Globally, the demographic trend of population ageing presents a challenge for government actors, urban planners, policy makers and community organizations. Concurrently, ageing in place as a conceptual planning and policy tool has potential to create the conditions for cities to become age-friendly environments for older adults. This thesis hypothesizes that ageing in place is a promising conceptual tool for future urban planning and policies, irrespective of national context. The hypothesis leads to the research question: to what extent and how can cities experiencing population ageing use the concept of ageing in place as a planning and policy tool to create the conditions for older adults to age in place with dignity, independence and choice? The literature review of ageing in place in social gerontology and urban planning discourse finds five dichotomies, which offer useful frameworks from which to analyze the current state of ageing in place in the case studies of Windsor, Canada and Brescia, Italy. The case studies describe the existing conditions for ageing in place at three spatial scales: the internal social housing apartment unit or detached private home, the social housing apartment building or detached private home lot, and the neighbourhood. The case studies are supplemented by a review of existing policies and programs and finds six main criticalities and potentialities organized in the themes of ageing in place related to care, the home, and ICT. Based on the literature review and the case study analyses, the hypothesis and research question are answered in a six-part proposal for ageing in place programs in care, the home and ICT: the Continuum of Care, Neighbourhoods of Care, Green Retrofitting, Adaptable Homes Modifications, Alternative Housing Typologies, and Telemedicine and Social Calls. These proposals offer a framework for urban areas and cities to implement ageing in place policies, adapted to their unique contexts, and underscore the potential of older residents as a resource for the community
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
