Urban naturmark i landskapet
Get PDFKonst och vetenskap fordras samtidigt för att fånga landskapsarkitekturens väsen, hävdade professor Clas Florgård i sin installationsföreläsning år 1995. I denna festskrift till Clas presenteras ämnets vittomspännande bredd i samband med hans nya roll som professor emeritus. I sin forskning har Clas detaljstuderat mötet mellan exploatering och bevarande. Naturmark är begreppet som han allra främst utvecklat med vetenskaplig precision. Den lila festskriften som du nu håller i din hand innehåller både svenska och internationella bidrag med exempelvis: 1) personliga tillbakablickar på forskningsprojekt och på dråpliga försök att återge resultaten från dem, 2) sakliga rapporter från forskningsfronten, 3) flera vidgande perspektiv på naturmark och landskapsarkitektur samt 4) olika motiv för urban naturmark. Avslutningsvis publiceras ett kapitel som Clas själv skrivit i Formas pocketbok Spelet om staden. Festskriften vänder sig till en intresserad allmänhet och till praktiker, forskare, beslutsfattare och studenter som konsulterar, utvecklar och kommunicerar landskapsarkitektur som kunskapsfält exempelvis i relation till andra discipliner. Festskriften utgör ett viktigt dokument över samtida landskapsarkitektur och på det sätt som ämnet utvecklats under närmare ett halvt sekel. Vi på avdelningen för landskapsarkitektur vill på det här sättet tacka Clas och ser fram emot ett fortsatt gott samarbete.
Festskriften ges ut i rapportserien vid institutionen för stad och land, SLU - Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet. I serien utges rapporter från avdelningarna för landsbygdsutveckling, landskapsarkitektur, miljökommunikation, Centrum för naturvägledning samt MKB-centrum SLU, som alla är en del av institutionen. Landskapsarkitektur är konsten att väga samman funktion, skönhet, hållbarhet och ekonomi till utformning av människans byggda yttre miljö – i vid mening hennes landskap. Ämnet rör sig över en bred skala, från fysisk planering av regioner och kommuner till gestaltning av urbana rum, med människan i centrum och oftast med växtligheten som en viktig utgångspunkt. Ämnesområdet baseras på många olika vetenskapliga discipliner, vilket skapar en flervetenskaplig miljö för både grundutbildning och forskning. Sådana grundläggande discipliner är teknik, naturvetenskap, samhällsvetenskap och konstvetenskap
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Publications used in the Early Years of Landscape Architecture: Seven Nordic Scholars' Selection
No full textSite soundscapes
Get PDFThis research was based on the assumption that landscape architects work on projects in which the acoustic aspects can be taken into consideration. In such projects activities are located within the landscape and specific sounds belong to specific activities. This research raised the orchestration of the soundscape as a new area of concern in the field of landscape architecture; a new method of approaching the problem was suggested. Professionals can learn to recognise the auditory phenomena which are characteristic of a certain type of land use. Acoustic sources are obvious planning elements which can be used as a starting point in the develop-ment process. The effects on the soundscape can subsequently be evaluated according to various planning options. The landscape is viewed as a space for sound sources and listeners where the sounds are transferred and coloured, such that each site has a specific soundscape – a sonotope. This raised questions about the landscape’s acoustic characteristics with respect to the physical layout, space, material and furnishing. Questions related to the planning process, land use and conflicts of interest were also raised, in addition to design issues such as space requirements and aesthetic considerations. A prototype of a computer tool for use in landscape architecture was developed. This was intended to promote listening as well as stimulate an appreciation of the soundscape approach in the processes of planning and design. The purpose was to illustrate auditory problems and raise the aural awareness of the practitioners, for example, while carrying out visits on site. The tool provided a means through which researchers, practitioners and members of the public could meet to facilitate a mutual exchange of ideas. The tool was based on the results of qualitative interviews on two urban settings. These were referred to as reference objects, the design, building material, plant material, functions, traffic conditions and location of which have characteristics which practitioners can compare with their ongoing projects. One of the locations was a pasture on the outskirts of a city, while the other was a public garden which was located towards the centre of the same city. The pasture’s sonotope was characterised by clear, distinct sounds which were neither drowned out by sounds which were emitted a short distance away nor by those emitted at much greater distances. In contrast, the sonotope of the city garden was characterised by the sounds of its surroundings
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
