    Edge Computing for Integration of IoT and Building Management Systems : A prototype study on automated and standardized data processing in building environments

    No full text
    Digitalisering av fastighetssystem har ofta hindrats av fragmenterade lösningar och ineffektiv datainsamling. Detta examensarbete undersöker hur edge computing kan användas för att effektivisera integrationen mellan IoT-enheter och fastighetssystem. En prototyp utvecklades baserad på ett Pythonverktyg för konfigurationsgenerering och ett Node-RED-flöde för databehandling och kommunikation via Modbusprotokollet. Lösningen möjliggör automatiserad insamling, skalning och tolkning av data direkt på edgenoden, vilket minskar latens och optimerar nätverkstrafik. Testerna bekräftar att systemet klarar dynamiska förändringar, hanterar flera pollingintervall och bibehåller hög datakvalitet utan behov av manuell kodmodifiering. Arbetet visar att edge computing kan vara en praktisk och skalbar väg för att standardisera integrationen i digitaliserade fastigheter, men vidare validering och optimering behövs innan full produktionssättning. The digitalization of building management systems has often been hindered by fragmented solutions and inefficient data collection processes. This thesis explores how edge computing can be used to streamline the integration between IoT devices and building systems. A prototype was developed, consisting of a Python-based configuration tool and a Node-RED flow for data processing and communication via the Modbus protocol. The solution enables automated data acquisition, scaling, and interpretation directly at the edge node, reducing latency and optimizing network traffic. Testing confirmed that the system can handle dynamic changes, manage multiple polling intervals, and maintain high data quality without manual code modifications. The results indicate that edge computing offers a practical and scalable approach to standardizing integration in digitialized buildings, although further validation and optimization are recommended before full production deployment.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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 text
    We 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
