Replication Data for: "Bridging the Attitude-Behaviour Gap. An explanation of travel mode choice using analytical sociology"
No full textThe dataset contains a selection of raw, processed and aggregated survey data as supplementary material for the publication "Bridging the Attitude-Behaviour Gap. An explanation of travel mode choice using analytical sociology".
The data was collected in spring 2021 through a large-scale mobility survey among members of three major universities in the Ruhr district (Bochum, Dortmund and Duisburg-Essen). The survey was part of the InnaMoRuhr project ('Concept of an integrated, sustainable mobility for the University Alliance Ruhr'). A total of 10,782 students and employees participated in the survey.
The data includes both attitudinal and behavioural data (e.g. subjective expected utility of different modes of transport, and main mode of transport)
Pseudo-inverses of difference matrices and their application to sparse signal approximation
No full textWe derive new explicit expressions for the components of Moore–Penrose inverses of symmetric difference matrices. These generalized inverses are applied in a new regularization approach for scattered data interpolation based on partial differential equations. The columns of the Moore–Penrose inverse then serve as elements of a dictionary that allow a sparse signal approximation. In order to find a set of suitable data points for signal representation we apply the orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) method
Abschied von den Mythen. Das neuere politische Festspiel in der Deutschschweiz
No full textDem Festspiel als bedeutender Schöpfung der schweizerischen Theaterkultur wurde bisher keine einzige Monografie gewidmet. Die wenigen bisher realisierten Studien konzentrieren sich auf die Hochblüte um 1890 und 1940 und nehmen für die Zeit nach 1950 einen rapiden Bedeutungsverlust des Festspiels an. Die Publikation macht die Vitalität des neueren Festspiels fassbar und zeigt auch seine überraschend innovativen Ansätze auf.
Die weit ausgreifende Studie legt den Schwerpunkt auf die Erforschung des Deutschschweizer Festspiels der letzten dreissig Jahre, fasst aber auch das bekannte Wissen über die Entwicklung seit der Initialzündung 1886 zusammen. Das Gemeindefestspiel wird zum ersten Mal überhaupt gleichrangig mit dem kantonalen und nationalen Festspiel behandelt und in seiner Vielfalt und Vitalität erkennbar. Mittels fünf «Tiefenbohrungen» werden die spezifischen Produktionsbedingungen und die ästhetischen und inhaltlichen Besonderheiten von neun Festspielen aus jüngerer Zeit analysiert und in einen gesellschaftspolitischen Kontext gestellt. Die Synthese zeigt auf, dass für das Festspiel der neueren Zeit nicht Krisensymptome kennzeichnend sind, was in der Forschung wiederholt behauptet worden ist, sondern innovative Ansätze und ein unmissverständlicher Abschied vom patriotischen Pathos und den Geschichtsmythen früherer Zeiten
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
