Ephemeral architecture : in between permanence and impermanence towards sustainable architecture / Sayed Muhammad Aiman Sayed Abul Khair and Prof Madya Dr. Ismail Samsuddin
Full text linkThe arrival of the agriculture period has led to the evolution of architecture from the nomadic and shifting mode into permanence. Ephemeral is a state of lasting a very short time. It is also considered as portable architecture which existed before the agriculture period when the humans lived as hunters and gatherers. As time goes by, permanence has become a new mode and the fundamentals of architecture tomost people that understand architecture. This paper is conducted to present an understanding of definition, interpretation and application of ephemeral in architecture in between permanence and impermanence. The paper has reviewed and analyzed the definition, interpretation and characteristic of ephemeral in architecture according tothe historical and modern perspective. Besides that, an investigation has been done to determine the role that permanence plays in defining architecture and the role of ephemerality might plays within the realm of architecture. Literature review and case study are the primary and secondary data of this paper. As a result, ephemeral architecture has a significant role in built environment and sustainable architecture. By the time technology such as industrial building system and rapid prototype with 3-dimension printing construction progress, architecture has experienced sustainable growth, become flexible and resilient with demand and context. The term will not seize the general idea of architecture as an object of permanence since the static, stable and the permanent are all critical. The mobility, portability, transformability, the inflatable and the ephemeral are the essentials of stability and permanence
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

The effect of interior colour on working in creative environment: architectural firm / Fadzilullah Shafiei
Full text linkThe purpose of this research is to study the psychological effect that can be brought by colours towards human work productivity. The study was
supervised by Prof Madya Dr. Ismail Samsuddin, coordinator for this research. Different colours can give different effect on human working productivity.
In this research, the study will focus on the effect of interior colour towards working productivity in an architectural firm. As we know, working in an
architectural firm needs a creative thinking so it should be useful to use a colour that can somehow encourage the creativity in a worker
