Ngarrindjeri Nation Yarluwar-Ruwe Plan: Caring for Ngarrindjeri Country and Culture Kungun Ngarrindjeri Yunnan (Listen to Ngarrindjeri People Talking)
Full text linkIn 2009 the Ngarrindjeri Nation in South Australia (SA) negotiated a formal Kungun Ngarrindjeri Yunnan Agreement (KNY — Listen to what Ngarrindjeri have to say) with the State Government that recognised traditional ownership of Ngarrindjeri lands and waters and established a process for negotiating and supporting Ngarrindjeri rights and responsibilities for Country (Rigney et al. 2015). The KNY strategy has provided the framework for the South Australian Government to support Ngarrindjeri to build their core capacity to engage in Caring for Country activities during initiatives such as the Murray Futures Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth Recovery Project and to become long-term contributors to regional Natural Resource Management (see Hemming et al. 2011; Chapter 4.5). Central to brokering progress in improved Ngarrindjeri engagement with government was the Ngarrindjeri Nation Yarluwar-Ruwe Plan (‘the plan’), a foundational management planning document prepared by Ngarrindjeri leaders in 2007 on behalf of the Ngarrindjeri Nation to communicate the Ngarrindjeri vision for caring for their lands and waters (Ngarrindjeri Nation 2007). Prior to the plan, Ngarrindjeri had been effectively excluded from regional planning engagements, and their aspirations had been silent in management plans and the implementation of these plans. The plan’s vision makes clear the essential link between the wellbeing of Ngarrindjeri individuals, families and communities and the interconnectivity with lands and waters. A key purpose of the plan was to better educate government and nongovernment agencies, researchers and the wider Australian public on Ngarrindjeri connection to Country and their associated rights and obligations to Yarluwar-Ruwe. In doing so, the plan clearly links Ngarrindjeri cultural, social and economic perspectives to the broad Caring for Country vision — which encapsulates Ruwe/Ruwar — and to goals, strategies and objectives for Ngarrindjeri Yarluwar-Ruwe. It is now officially recognised by both state and federal governments and continues to frame Ngarrindjeri negotiations impacting the health of Ngarrindjeri lands and waters. The following chapter reproduces a section from the pla
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
The Influence of Colour on Radiometric Performances of Agricultural Nets
No full textThe whole construction parameters of the net, combined with the shape of the structure, the position of the sun and the sky conditions affect the radiometric performance of the permeable covering system. The radiometric properties of the permeable membrane influence the quality of the agricultural production and the aesthetic characteristics of the netting system. Moreover, the colour of the material and the light reflection- especially of the wavelengths visible for the human eye (VIS, 380-760nm)- is an interesting criterion to determine the aesthetic value of the net structure and its environmental impact. In order to investigate the influence of the threads colour on the radiometric properties of the net, a set of field tests were performed by means of a spectroradiometer in combination with an experimental setup 120x120x50cm covered with membranes formed by threads with different colour. A second set of experiments were performed, on the same kind of nets, in laboratory by means of a combination of a large integrating sphere and a small one: the transmissivity from a direct (τDIR) and diffuse (τDIF) source and the reflectivity from diffuse source (ρ) of 50x50cm samples were measured in the PAR range. The evaluation of the transmissivity values shows that the colour of a net influence spectral distribution of the radiation passing through the net absorbing their complementary colours. The transmissivity of black nets is almost constant in the visible range and the reduction of the incoming radiation is proportional to the solidity of the net. In the PAR range transparent and black nets doesn’t cause an alteration of the spectrum of solar radiation and transmittance is almost constant with a slight growth in nets having lower porosity
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
