Mobilitätsstationen als Drehscheibe für Mobilität als Service
No full textBeim bereits traditionellen FSV-Planungsseminar widmen wir uns diesmal dem Thema Mobilität als Service. Die Befriedigung des Mobilitätsbedürfnisses losgelöst von Fahrzeugbesitz, individuell abgestimmt auf die aktuelle Lage von Verkehrsangebot und Verkehrsnachfrage. Ausgehend von den individuellen Präferenzen und übergeordneten Zielen, werden dem/der VerkehrsteilnehmerIn mögliche Mobilitätsdienste angeboten, aus denen er/sie wählen kann. Die-
se werden entsprechend bereitgestellt und mit dem jeweiligen Anbieter abgerechnet. Damit dieser Ansatz auch zur angestrebten Mobilitätswende führen kann, stellen sich einige organisatorische und planerische Fragen: Wie ist das minimale/optimale Service für diese Mobilitäts-
dienste aufgebaut? Welche Akteure müssen einbezogen werden? Welche Verantwortlichkeiten sind zu verteilen? Welche Rahmenbedingungen sind zu setzen? Ist das ÖV-Angebot stets der Ausgangspunkt der Planungen? Teilen statt besitzen: ist das Verschwinden des individuellen PKW-Besitzes denkbar und realistisch? Welche Flächenansprüche im Straßenraum können sich durch Mobilität als Service verändern? Neben Vorträgen zu aktuellen Entwicklungen wer-
den auch Erfahrungen aus der Praxis präsentiert werden. In gewohnter Weise wird diese zwei Halbtage dauernde Veranstaltung aus einem Mix aus Impulsvorträgen und darauf reflektierenden Workshops und Gruppendiskussionen bestehen, dieses Jahr in Kooperation mit der Stiftungsprofessur Digitalisierung und Automatisierung im Verkehrs- und Mobilitätssystem an der Universität für Bodenkultur in Wien (BOKU)
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

No full textA Standardised Ranking Model for Evaluation of Transport Projects as Basis for a Future Funding Scheme
No full textAbstractIn Austria exists – as in other countries – a variety of different funding schemes for co-funding urban transport projects (ministry of transport, ministry of environment, ministry of economics, funding from provincial budget, special funds, e. g. for climate protection, etc.). All of these with different sets of criteria and different funding schemes. Therefore it is not sure over all, if the most efficient projects for transport in cities will be funded within the existing funding architecture. This situation is unsatisfying and not transparent, therefore the Austrian Association of Cities commissioned the Institute for Transport Studies to develop a standardised ranking model for urban transport measures. This model makes different projects comparable, starting with bicycle measures, mobility management, measures for pedestrians and ending with public transport infrastructure measures or new public transport vehicles. The ranking model is based on four pillars: (1) contribution of the measure to the actual transport master plan in the city (2) total economic cost and benefit ratio of the measure (3) expected environmental benefit of the measure and (4) degree of return of investment targeted by the municipality. Key evaluation indicators for the model are developed to make possible a comparison of the measures and a ranking, which measures to prefer. The challenge is to bridge the gap between a serious estimation of impacts and a reasonable effort of data collection for those who apply for funding. During a test phase, four measures were tested and analyzed with the model developed - two public transport measures (a rail-based and a bus scheme), one bicycle measure and one mobility management measure. The final version of the model is ready since mid 2011. With the ranking model as proposal the Austrian Association of Cities will put pressure on the responsible departments to establish a transparent and cost efficient funding scheme in Austria in the future
