A workbook on planning for urban resilience in the face of disasters : adapting experiences from Vietnam's cities to other cities
Get PDFThe world is urbanizing rapidly. A little over half the global population is urban today. According to the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN–HABITAT), by 2050, this proportion will grow to 70 percent—and of a much larger pie, 9 billion people worldwide. This urban growth will predominantly (90 percent) take place in developing countries. Developing countries
host 70 million new urban residents each year. Cities in the developing world are already challenged in providing adequate infrastructure and services to current residents, let alone supporting such large increases in the future. It is expected that the global slum population will double to 2 billion by 2030. The trend in increasing natural hazards further complicates the situation. The Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters reports via its Emergency Events Database (CRED EM-DAT) that, in 2010, 385 natural disasters killed nearly 300,000 people, affected over 217 million others, and caused $123.9 billion in damages in 131 countries. These economic damages represent an increase of 160.4 percent compared to 2009. Climate change and shifting tectonic plates will further exacerbate the situation. This workbook provides standard procedures local officials can use to develop Local Resilience Action Plans. While based on learning from the Vietnam experience, the guidance provided can be applied by any city at any level of disaster preparedness. The experience of the three pilot cities is the basis for llustrating the methodology. The pilots represent a broad range of city caracteristics in terms of geography, population size, economic base, administrative structure, and natural hazards—demonstrating that the LRAP process is useful to a variety of cities. Indeed, the methodology has been taken up by cities outside of Vietnam, in China, Indonesia, and the Philippines. These cities have adapted
the steps in the workbook to fit their local conditions and priorities and the workbook shows how they build resilience to climate change and natural disaster

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
