7258 Rapid coastal zone assessment survey: phase one desk-based assessment: inner humber estuary
No full textThe Inner Humber Estuary Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey is part of a national programme funded by Historic England. The project was undertaken by Cornwall Archaeological Unit, Cornwall Council, and Coastal and Offshore Archaeological Research Services (COARS), University of Southampton between 2019 and 2020. The project consisted of a desk-based assessment of the threat posed to heritage assets by flooding, rising sea levels and increasing rates of coastal erosion. The survey area covered 247 sq km; from the lowermost limits of the Rivers Ouse and Trent following the River Humber eastwards to the Patrington Channel on the north bank of the estuary and on the southern bank, to the parish boundary between Great Coates and Grimsby. It included estuary, the intertidal zone out to Lowest Astronomical Tide (and 1km outwards below it), with a 1km ‘hinterland’ to the landward side of Mean High Water. The Phase 1 Desk-based Assessment assessed the data available on the character of the historic environment and heritage assets within the project area and outlined the potential threats to them in order to design a strategy for Phase 2 (Field Survey) – a draft project design for which was also a product of the project. Overall, the project added, updated or amended 686 records to three Historic Environment Records including the Humber HER (which covers Kingston-upon-Hull and parts of the East Riding of Yorkshire), North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire. Opportunities for further research, survey and outreach identified by the desk-based assessment are presented in the context of the regional themes and research aims set out in the Yorkshire and East Midlands Research Frameworks
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
Lesson Study for inclusive teaching in various settings
No full textProviding for the diverse educational needs of students is one of the most challenging educational goals in today’s schools. It is reflected in various terms, such as differentiated, adaptive, and responsive instruction, and in contemporary terms, such as inclusive education and teaching. One way of approaching this issue is to frame it within the perspective of what the teacher or team of teachers is doing in terms of inclusive teaching. The first steps towards these developments are represented by the chapters in this book written by authors who have been involved in using Lesson Study within the Netherlands, the UK, Singapore, and Sweden. The use of Lesson Study in different settings, including those that might be seen as separate and segregated, calls to question what is meant by inclusive teaching. In addition to discussing this important question, this book also examines the concepts of inclusion, inclusive education and teaching, and the nature and practice of Lesson Study within these various settings
Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment: Cornwall South Coast
No full textThe South Coast Cornwall Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey is part of a national programme funded by Historic England. The project was undertaken by Cornwall Archaeological Unit, Cornwall Council, and COARS, Southampton University between 2017 and 2018.
The project consisted of a desk-based assessment of the threat posed to heritage assets along the coast by rising sea levels and increasing coastal erosion.
The project area extended from Andurn Point in Devon to Land's End in Cornwall and included Plymouth and the Tamar Estuaries. It included an assessment of surviving remains along the open coast and its tidal estuaries, including the intertidal zone out to Lowest Astronomical Tide, with a 1km 'hinterland' to the landward side of Mean High Water and extending up estuaries to 1km beyond the tidal extent. The project area was sub-divided according to Policy Scenario Areas (PSAs) and the Policy Development Zones (PDZs) as set out in Shoreline Management Plans for Durlston Head to Rame Head and Rame Head to Hartland Point.
The Phase 1 Desk-based Assessment (DBA) assessed the data available on the character of the historic environment within the project area, and potential threats to heritage assets, in order to design a strategy for Phase 2 (Field Survey) which prioritises areas where heritage assets may be most at risk.
The project updated and added new records to the Historic Environment Records for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Devon County Council and the City of Plymouth. Overall the project added, updated or amended 2,737 records; the new sites created totalled 2,294 for Cornwall, 82 for Devon and 227 for Plymouth.
Research priorities and themes identified by the desk-based assessment are presented in the context of the regional themes and research aims set out in the South West Archaeological Research Framework (SWARF). Specific sites and areas which would benefit from further research or work are also summarised in the final report
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
