Bemind maar onbekend: Landschapsarchitectuur in de periode 1965-1990
Full text linkPost 65 garden and landscape architects bridged the town and country divide. They worked at various levels of scale and for all kinds of users: from private garden to industrial area and from urban design scheme to land consolidation. Using their analysis and design methods they succeeded in accommodating a wide range of functions in a spatially coherent design. Despite the extent and appeal of their production, current knowledge and appreciation of Post 65 green heritage lags behind that of the architectural heritage. This is evident from redevelopment plans for green areas and from recently delivered big-city inventory reports from which this type of heritage is largely absent. Knowledge of theory development in landscape architecture, landscape history and architectural history can help to generate greater appreciation for Post 65 green space. After all, Post 65 green heritage is not just of interest from a cultural-historical perspective. It can also contribute to the improvement of nature and the environment in a way that is in keeping with Post 65 ideas.Post 65 tuin- en landschapsarchitecten sloegen een brug tussen stad en buitengebied. Zij werkten op verschillende schaalniveaus en voor alle soorten gebruikers: van tuin tot industriegebied en van stedenbouwkundig plan tot ruilverkaveling. Ze wisten met hun analyse- en ontwerpmethoden uiteenlopende functies onder te brengen in een ruimtelijk samenhangend ontwerp. Ondanks hun grote en interessante productie blijft de huidige kennis en waardering van Post 65 groen erfgoed achter. Dit blijkt uit herontwikkelingsplannen van groengebieden en uit recent opgeleverde inventarisatierapporten van de grote steden waarin dit type erfgoed veelal ontbreekt. Kennis van theorievorming uit de landschapsarchitectuur, landschapsgeschiedenis en de architectuurgeschiedenis kan bijdragen aan een hogere waardering van Post 65 groen. Het Post 65 groen erfgoed is immers niet alleen vanuit cultuurhistorisch oogpunt interessant, maar kan ook bijdragen aan de verbetering van natuur en milieu op een wijze die past bij het Post 65 gedachtengoed. 
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
Green heritage: a newcomer to the preservation of monuments and historic buildings
Full text linkGarden landscaping is an age-old human activity that went through various styles and fashions. Around 1900 garden architect Leonard Springer (1855-1940), among others, pointed out the lack of knowledge on the garden art of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Springer was a major promoter of the profession of garden designer and landscape architect. The increased appreciation of landscape architecture resulted in the assessment of parks and their designation as listed monument/green area. Initially, the attention was focused on the parks belonging to country estates, 540 of which are protected as complexes at present. Other categories of landscaping, such as cemeteries, villa gardens, city parks, landscaping around offices and factories, in residential districts and on defensive works, have not been thoroughly researched or listed. Consequently, there is no balanced representation of landscaping in the historic buildings register nor any meticulous description of such green areas.
The forming of opinion on the way in which landscaping can be protected is in progress. Plants and shrubs, an essential part of landscape architecture, … are in motion. The terminology required for developing a restoration philosophy with respect to green heritage can largely be derived from the terminology of the preservation of historic buildings and monuments. However, since plants and shrubs are alive and die, the contents of the notions will have to be reconsidered. At the moment the central role of the manager does not play a part yet in discussions and policy concerning the protection of listed green areas.
Obviously, the use of a park sets requirements to its layout. Although many city parks, for instance, still function more or less according to the original idea, the numbers of visitors have multiplied and events have also become more massive. Frequently the adjustments for this new use are only regarded as a design assignment when the park is seriously worn out and in need of restoration. At such a moment the status as listed monument/green area may help to increase the quality of the interventions
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
