BIM backed decision support system in the management of heritage building
No full textHistorical buildings are always at risk to great danger strike by fire, flood and other potential disasters affecting the building conditions. Thus positive and continuous actions need to be taken to preserve the heritage buildings or else a country might lose its cultural heritage value. In managing historic buildings, managers are often faced with complex decision-making process due to limited or unavailability of reliable information. The absence of such information influenced the way decision making and problem-solving made by the managers. This paper aims to highlight the potentials of Building Information Modelling (BIM) as a decision support system for cultural heritage management. An embedded case study was conducted on Istana Balai Besar Kota Bharu, focusing on the changes of the historical building\u27s layout to demonstrate the ontology. A measured drawing dated back in 1976 was used together with the terrestrial laser scanning activity performed presently on the physical building in creating a model in BIM environment. The result gives an overview about tracking information on changes within a historical building as part of cultural heritage management. This paper finds that by modelling the data captured by the 3D laser scanner and utilizing the existing data, BIM is capable of helping managers to retrieve, analyze and store important information in a more efficient and productive process. This exploration is substantial as a precursor to a much broader study on BIM for cultural heritage in the Malaysian context. As BIM is set to drive the construction industry, the finding made would be a catalyst for creating awareness to support the development of BIM for cultural heritage management in Malaysia
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
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
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
JEJAK SAMURAI DI PULAU JAWA: SEJARAH PERJUANGAN PASUKAN GERILYA ISTIMEWA PADA PERANG KEMERDEKAAN (1945-1950)
Get PDFPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan sejarah perjuangan Pasukan Gerilya Istimewa, yang terdiri dari mantan tentara Jepang , dalam perang kemerdekaan Indonesia di Pulau Jawa pada periode 1945-1950. Penelitian ini juga mengkaji latar belakang dan motivasi yang mendorong para tentara Jepang tersebut untuk bergabung dengan pejuang Indonesia melawan penjajah Belanda. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian sejarah dengan pendekatan deskriptif naratif melalui tahapan heuristik, kritik sumber, interpretasi, dan penulisan sejarah.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pasukan ini terbentuk akibat kondisi pasca Perang Dunia II, ketika sebagian tentara Jepang memilih untuk menetap dan bergabung dengan pejuang Indonesia daripada kembali ke negaranya. Motivasi utama mereka antara lain hubungan baik dengan penduduk lokal, sikap bushido yang masih dipegang teguh, dan pernikahan dengan warga Indonesia. Pasukan Gerilya Istimewa terlibat aktif dalam berbagai pertempuran gerilya di wilayah Jawa Timur, khususnya di sekitar Blitar dan Malang, dan memainkan peran penting dalam perjuangan mempertahankan kemerdekaan hingga tercapainya gencatan senjata dengan Belanda pada 1949. Melalui penelitian ini, penulis berharap dapat memberikan pemahaman lebih mendalam tentang kontribusi bekas tentara Jepang dalam sejarah perjuangan kemerdekaan Indonesia, sekaligus memperkaya historiografi sejarah militer Indonesia.******This research aims to explain the history of the struggle of the Special Guerrilla Troops, consisting of former Japanese soldiers, during the Indonesian War of Independence on Java Island from 1945-1950. This research also examines the background and motivations that drove these Japanese soldiers to join the Indonesian resistance against the Dutch colonialists. The method used is historical research with a descriptive narrative approach through the stages of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historical writing.
The results indicate that these troops were formed due to conditions after World War II, when some Japanese soldiers chose to stay and join the Indonesian resistance rather than return to their homeland. Their primary motivations included good relations with the local population, a strong adherence to bushido, and marriages with Indonesian citizens. The Special Guerrilla Troops were actively involved in various guerrilla battles in the East Java region, especially around Blitar and Malang, and played an important role in the struggle to maintain independence until the achievement of a ceasefire with the Dutch in 1949. Through this research, the author hopes to provide a deeper understanding of the contribution of former Japanese soldiers in the history of the Indonesian independence struggle, as well as enrich the historiography of Indonesian military history
