    In het kader van de Gezondheidskundige Evaluatie Schiphol is door het RIVM en TNO-PG een onderzoek uitgevoerd naar ervaren hinder, slaapverstoring, gezondheids- en belevingsaspecten rond de luchthaven Schiphol. De gegevens voor dit onderzoek zijn verzameld met een schriftelijke vragenlijst. Van de 30.000 benaderde personen heeft 39 procent de vragenlijst teruggestuurd. Uit dit onderzoek bleek dat de hinder door vliegtuiggeluid rond de luchthaven Schiphol hoger was dan verwacht, ook wanneer rekening werd gehouden met mogelijk selectieve (non-) respons. Geluid door vliegtuigen leidde tot meer hinder en slaapverstoring, een vaker als slecht ervaren gezondheid en een toename in het gebruik van medicijnen. Ook ervaarde men meer risico's van het vliegverkeer en was men minder tevreden over de woonomgeving naarmate de geluidbelasting door vliegtuigen hoger is. Mensen die dichter bij de luchthaven wonen rapporteerden vaker hinder door geur en door stof/roet of rook van vliegtuigen en meer luchtwegklachten. Ook gebruikten meer mensen medicijnen tegen astma en/of allergie. Het aantal mensen dat aangaf erg gehinderd te zijn of in de slaap gestoord te worden door vliegtuiggeluid was in absolute aantallen het grootst buiten de wettelijke zones voor (nachtelijk) vliegverkeer. Ook werd op grotere afstand van de luchthaven nog hinder van geur en stof/roet of rook van vliegtuigen waargenomen.As part of the Evaluation and Monitoring Programme for Schiphol airport, a questionnaire on the prevalence of self-rated annoyance, sleep disturbance, perceived general health, respiratory complaints, satisfaction in the study area was sent to a randomly selected sample of 30,000 people living within 25 km of Schiphol airport. The purpose of this study was to assess these factors in relation to the exposure to aircraft noise and air pollution. Exposure to aircraft noise was based on model calculations. The airport's proximity to the respondent's home was used as a proxy for air pollution caused by aircraft. The survey response rate was 39%. The results of this study show that annoyance from aircraft noise is greater than expected, also when the effect of selective non-response is taken into account. There is a relation between aircraft noise and noise annoyance, sleep disturbance, perceived health, use of medication, risk perception and residential satisfaction in the study area. The proximity of the airport was directly related to annoyance due to odours and soot from aircraft, respiratory complaints, and the use of medication for asthma and/or allergy.DGM V&W VW

    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

    Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry

    This work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country

    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

    Full text link
    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

    (A) Schematic of PG-selective RNAi screen design. In “step 1”, UAS-RNAi males against each 703 candidate gene are crossed with females carrying two copies of phm>mCherry.nls to obtain F1 animals in which target gene is knocked down selectively in the PG. Octβ3R and tor were included in candidate gene sets as positive control showing L3 arrest phenotype. In “step 2”, PGs of RNAi animals, in which developmental defect was confirmed, were observed by histochemistry to investigate their cell number and the DNA content. (B) Pie chart showing the distribution of the phenotypic categories in step 1. The number of RNAi lines showing each phenotype is shown in the legend of each pie. NOP, no obvious phenotype. (C) Schematic of developmental transition of the PG cell number and the DNA content. PG cells at L1 stage (indicated as “Early PG cells”) undergo mitotic cell cycle to increase their number, and subsequent MES initiates endocycling which leads to mature PG cells with higher DNA content (indicated as “Late PG cells”). When MES regulator was inhibited in the PG, the PG cell number was increased and an increase in the DNA content was blocked (indicated as “Defects in MES”). Defects in endocycle progression results in decrease in the DNA content, whereas inhibition of downstream effector of endocycle should display no significant decrease in the DNA content. (D) Dot-plots showing the mean values of the cell number and the DNA content in the PG of control and RNAi animals. Each plot shows the average values of triplicate data sets in each group. Green and black plots indicate control animals which were cultured in standard culture medium and nutrient-rich German food (GF), respectively. Numbers indicate time points for sampling of control animals cultured in GF. All other data were obtained at day 6 after crossing in standard culture medium, including control shown by green plot. Purple and magenta plots show RNAi animals in which the PG cell number was significantly increased compared to the controls (P cct subunit genes.</p
