Introduction
No full textThe upscaling of RES while introducing competition
in terms of land use, thus impacting environmental sustainability,
can also negatively affect the social acceptability of RES and thus undermine their diffusion. If trade-offs remain unsolved, the operationalisation of energy plans (e.g., regional energy plans, local climate mitigation strategies) and the sustainability of RES can be compromised
TAKE AWAY FROM COMPARING THE CASES AND CONCLUSIONS
No full textUnder the principles of knowledge sharing and mutual learning, throughout
the processes, the teams from the five countries and case studies met and exchanged their findings, challenges, lessons learned. Similarities and differences between the individual case studies emerged. This final section collects some general findings from this process, looking at all the work presented in this technical report at a glance. Bringing together results from the five analysis, THE RES-ES MATRIX presents a snapshot of trade-offs between RES and ES analysed in this work. The RES-ES Matrix considers the Renewable Energy sources analysed, RES, as columns, and the Ecosystem Services, ES, as rows, placing each region into the cell matching the specific combinations of RES/ES used in the region’s case study.
Overall, strengths from the results relate to: i) quantification of
suitable land for RES(s) (Italy and Romania); ii) Combination of multiple ES
in one map, highlighting multi-functionality of landscapes (all the five cases);
iii) technical information that match needs and language of the policy-
making (Estonia, Germany, and Italy); Comparison of impacts by different
types of RES (UK, Germany, Italy, and Romania); very fine resolution of
maps (Estonia); specific target on the local scale (UK); and alignment with
supra-local objectives of nature conservation, which can thus be more easily
incorporated into decision-making at the local level (Germany)
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
