SOCIAL APPROACH IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICABLE CONSERVATION METHODS IN THAILAND
Full text link京都工芸繊維大学博士（学術）Thailand started adopting the National Economic and Social Development Plans (NESDP) have acted as the national framework since 1961. It has caused the spatial change and affected the decadence of original communities. While the community recovery or conservation projects that the government and the educational institutions effort to motivate are operating, the change of the internal society by the new groups of resident have been always obviously seen. Some makes those communities lost their characteristic. On the other hand, in Japan especially in Kyoto; the one of best practices of the world heritage preservation management in world heritage site has balanced the top-down and the bottom-up development by the operation of specific system of the opinion exchange on the building proposals. However, through the Machizukuri, the specific methods of civil society is the key of the succession.Accordingly, this study is focused on the significance of social approaches to generate the mutual understanding in spatial developments. The objectives consist of 1) To discover the characters of social systems within the local and traditional communities to develop as the planning approach for the community bottom-up development and conservation planning, 2) To explore the key encouragement in society that is applicable to motivate the community sustainable development with the bottom-up process and 3) To modify and suggest the possibility method of the community development conservation work based on the adaptability of self-development or self-conservation processes.The carefully selected case studies based on the comparative methods have found that, the people will be collaborating in the public issues if they come from the mutual interest and make some personal benefits. Therefore, to make the development operations achieve the goals of development plans, the civil society or the social processing methods must be added to the planning procedure especially in the level of local authority
Review on the Relationship between the Spatial Developments and the Change of Wooden Houses in Original Settlements in the Suburban Expansion of Bangkok
Full text linkThis study examines the causes of the decadence of the wooden houses in trader communities settled during the period of King Chulalongkorn of Rattanakosin Capital, which represent old urban dwellings in the central region of Thailand. The conditions of remaining wooden houses and disappearing ones were compared to explore appropriate methods of reconstruction or repairs. Since modern developments started in Thailand, most of the original settlements disappeared amongst the rapid changes of urban transformation. Many of the original houses or communities have become abandoned, deteriorated or destroyed. The results show that the speed of deterioration is related to the ability of the dweller to maintain their house. With urbanization, the economy of old communities becomes stagnant and the population ages. If the dwellers in such aging communities hope to improve their houses, a methodology to reduce the cost and the amount of labor is needed. Three things should be considered to achieve this goal: the dwellers' current construction skills, possible techniques that everyone can acquire without difficulty, and available local materials. Revitalizing such old houses will not just provide them a comfortable life but demonstrate the quality and value of early communities, and it will fortify the identity of the local area and help historical conservation.journal articl

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
