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
Turun kaupungin ruokapalvelu Katerinkin palveluhankinta : pilvipalvelua omavalvontaan
Get PDFTämän opinnäytetyön tavoitteena on tehdä Turun Seudun Kiinteistöpalvelu Oy:n ruokapalvelu Katerinkille omavalvontajärjestelmän palveluhankintavertailu. Ruokatuotanto ammattikeittiöissä on muuttumassa tekniseksi. Keskuskeittiöt muistuttavat toiminnaltaan isoja elintarviketehtaita ja vanhat valmistuskeittiöt muuttuvat suurelta osin palvelukeittiöiksi.
Työn menetelminä olen käyttänyt kahta kontekstiinsa ja faktoihin perustuvaa teoriaa, survey-tutkimusta ja deskriptiivistä tutkimusotetta. Survey-tutkimus soveltuu kerätyn tiedon kokoamiseen ja vertailuun. Deskriptiivisellä tutkimusotteella kuvaan alaan liittyvää teoriaa, elintarvikelakia ja -asetusta, viranomaismääräyksiä ja omavalvontasuunnitelmaa. Näissä menetelmissä kerättyä tietoa ei muokata tai muunnella, joten ne soveltuvat tosiasiatiedon keruuseen.
Kolmas menetelmä on sense-making -teoria, jossa hankitaan ja kerätään käyttäjälähtöisesti tietoa, silloin kun ollaan etsimässä uutta suuntaa. Kuka, miksi, milloin ja miten –kysymysten avulla saadaan rakennetuksi uutta osaamista ja tietoa. Sense-making-teoria sopii hyvin uuden tiedon ja osaamistarpeen kuvailuun. Tein tutkimuksen kyselynä alan yrityksille. Vastausten perusteella tein vertailua yritysten järjes¬telmistä. Vertailun tulokset jäävät Katerinkin toimeksiantajille, mutta tästä työstä selviää, mitä kaikkea on huomioitavaa toimivassa omavalvontajärjestelmässä.
Omavalvontajärjestelmissä siirrytään ulkopuolisen toimijan pilvipalveluun, langattomiin lähettimiin ja sähköisesti tallentuviin tiedostoihin, jotka helpottavat tiedonkeruuta, tallentamista ja raportointia. Omavalvonta on kaikille alan yrityksille lakisääteistä. Teknisillä ratkaisuilla omavalvonnasta vastaavien aikaa säästyy, kun manuaalista mittausta ja kirjaamista ei tehdä. Omavalvontajärjestelmä parantaa elintarviketurvallisuutta, lisää asiakastyytyväisyyttä ja myyntiä.The aim of this thesis is to carry out a comparison of service acquisitions for self-monitoring systems on behalf of Katerinki, the catering services centre at Turun Seudun Kiinteistöpalvelu Oy (Turku Municipal Property Services). Food production in the professional kitchens is be-coming technical.
My methodology has consisted of the use of two context and fact based theories, a survey and a descriptive research approach. Surveys lend themselves well to the collection and comparison of information. I use a descriptive approach to describe the theory, the Food Act and the General Food Law Regulation, government regulations and self-monitoring plans relating to the field. In these procedures, information is not modified or manipulated in any way, which makes them suitable for the collection of data.
The third method employed is sense-making theory, which is used to obtain and collect information in a user-centred way when in search of a new direction. The questions of who, when, why and how enable the development of new knowledge and information. Sense-making theory is useful for describing new information and learning needs. This study was conducted as a survey sent out to companies in the field. On the basis of the responses, I carried out a comparison of the systems used by the companies. While the results were submitted to the clients at Katerinki, this project sheds light on all important aspects of a functioning self-monitoring system.
Self-monitoring systems involve transferring operations to external cloud computing, wireless transmitters and electronically stored information, which simplifies the collection, storage and reporting of information. Self-monitoring is a legal requirement for any company in the field. Technical solutions save time for those responsible for self-monitoring, as manual measurements and records are no longer needed. Self-monitoring systems improve food security, increase customer satisfaction and sales
Kottby Trädgårdsstad [Elektronisk resurs] : Ett forskningsprojekt om bevarandeproblem initierat av Icosmos och Nordens Riksantikvarier
No full textRedan år 1916 föddes inom Bostadsreformföreningen tanken att grunda ett bostadsbolag för att avhjälpa arbetarbefolkningens bostadsbrist. Helsingfors stad deltog i planerna och redan följande år grundades bolaget - Helsingfors Folkbostäder Ab, vars aktiemajoritet var i stadens ägo. Bolagets verksamhet underställdes Socialnämndens överinsyn. En dylik organisering av bostadsproduktionen var något nytt i Finland.Den ekonomiska depressionen vid världskrigets slut satte sin prägel på bolagets första planer. Finansieringssvårigheter tvingade planerna att hålla sig till stenkaserner i många våningar "utan all byggnadskonstnärlig utsmyckning". Ettrumsbostaden - som konstaterats vara ett bostadspolitiskt monster - utgjorde huvudparten av den skisserade produktionen.</p

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
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
