Upprustningen av utemiljöer på Linero
Full text linkUpprustningen av utemiljöer på Linero – Från den vita till den gröna staden är en fallstudie av stadsdelen Linero i Lund. Frågeställningarna som behandlats i arbetet är hur utemiljön på ursprungliga Linero har förändrats från att stadsdelen byggdes fram till idag, samt vilka visioner, gestaltnings- och stadsbyggnadsideal med fokus på sociala aspekter som legat bakom dessa förändringar. Metoden som använts i studien är en kombination av en litteraturstudie, en intervju, analys av kart- och bildmaterial samt platsbesök. Området som har studerats är ett bostadsområde som ägs av Lunds kommunala fastighetsbolag (LKF) och som byggdes som en del av miljonprogrammet mellan år 1969 och 1972.
Arbetet har delats upp i fem olika avsnitt. Efter inledningen kommer en historisk bakgrund som behandlar miljonprogrammet och de ideal som format gestaltningen av utemiljöer under denna period. Det efterföljande avsnittet behandlar ursprungliga Linero och miljöförbättringsprojekt som genomfördes där på 1980-talet. Den utredande delen av uppsatsen avlutas med att förklara nutida visioner och planeringsideal, till största del genom information som framkommit i intervjun med representanter från LKF. Det femte och sista avsnittet utgör en diskussion som sammanfattar vad studien har kommit fram till.
Studien visar att det studerade bostadsområdet på Linero har genomgått stora förändringar sedan stadsdelen byggdes. Bostadsgårdarna fick en rejäl upprustning genom miljöförbättringsprojektet år 1984. Då tillkom det mycket grönska som tidigare saknades och gårdarna fick nya funktioner i form av nya lekmiljöer, cykelparkeringar och gemensamma uteplatser. På 2010-talet genomfördes en förtätning av området i samband med att Vikingavägen smalnades av och det anlades nya gång- och cykelbanor längs med denna. Mellan år 2016 och 2021 genomfördes en omfattande ombyggnation av de ursprungliga husen på Linero samtidigt som det bland annat anlades en ny park på en tidigare parkeringsyta. Studien kom fram till att de modernistiska idealen har präglat Lineros ursprungliga utformning. De efterföljande förändringarna uppstod till stor del som reaktioner på olika utmaningar som behövde åtgärdas.The Renovation of Outdoor Environments in Linero – From the White to the Green City is a case study of the district Linero in Lund. The research questions addressed in this study concern how the outdoor environment in the original Linero has changed from the time the district was built until today, as well as the visions, design principles, and urban planning ideals, focusing on social aspects, that have guided these changes. The methodology used in the study combines a literature review, an interview, analysis of maps and visual materials, and site visits. The studied area is a residential neighborhood owned by the municipally owned housing company of Lund (LKF) and was built as part of the Swedish Million Programme between 1969 and 1972.
The study is divided into five sections. Following the introduction, a historical background discusses the Million Programme and the ideals that shaped the design of outdoor environments during that period. The next section focuses on the original Linero and the environmental improvement projects carried out there in the 1980s. The investigative part of the study concludes by explaining contemporary visions and planning ideals, primarily based on information obtained from interviews with representatives from LKF. The fifth and final section presents a discussion summarizing the study’s findings.
The study reveals that the examined residential area in Linero has undergone significant changes since the district was first built. The courtyards received a substantial upgrade through the environmental improvement project in 1984, introducing much-needed greenery and new functions such as playgrounds, bicycle parking, and communal outdoor spaces. In the 2010s, the area was further densified as the street Vikingavägen was narrowed, and new pedestrian and bicycle paths were constructed alongside that street. Between 2016 and 2021, a major renovation of the original buildings in Linero was carried out, accompanied by the development of a new park on a former parking lot. The study concludes that modernist ideals influenced the original design of Linero. The subsequent changes largely emerged as reactions to various challenges that needed to be addressed
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
