Vacancy as a resource - causes, effects and revitalisation strategies for different types of space
No full textDie Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema Leerstand als wachsendes Phänomen räumlicher Transformation beruht auf einer Vielzahl struktureller, wirtschaftlicher, planerischer und gesellschaftlicher Entwicklungen. Seine Aktualität manifestiert sich in tiefgreifenden Prozessen, die auf unterschiedlichen Maßstabsebenen wirksam sind und verdeutlichen, dass die Frage nach dem Umgang mit Raum, Bestand und Ressource zu einer zentralen Herausforderung im planerischen Diskurs geworden ist.Das Spannungsfeld zwischen neu erschlossenen Flächen und gleichzeitig ungenutztem Bestand zeigt die räumlichen Disparitäten in urbanen und ruralen Gebieten. Während an den Orts- und Stadträndern neue Bauflächen entstehen, verlieren die Zentren zunehmend an Funktion und Aufenthaltsqualität. Leerstand beeinflusst zudem das Erscheinungsbild und die atmosphärische Wahrnehmung in Städten und Dörfern und wirkt in baukultureller Dimension als Träger historischer Entwicklungen und des kollektiven Gedächtnisses. Vor diesem Hintergrund widmet sich die vorliegende Diplomarbeit der Betrachtung, Leerstand als Ressource zu begreifen - der Bezirk Baden, im niederösterreichischen Industrieviertel, dient dabei als Untersuchungsraum. Zwischen Wienerwald und Pannonischer Tiefebene gelegen, sind die räumlichen Dynamiken in der Region durch die Nähe zu Wien, durch Strukturwandel, Flächeninanspruchnahme und Wachstumsdruck geprägt.Ziel der Arbeit ist es, Ursachen, Auswirkungen, das historische Erbe und den regionalen Kontext zu analysieren und daraus ein Instrumentarium zu entwickeln, welches Gemeinden im Umgang mit un- und mindergenutzten Räumen unterstützt. Die drei Fallgemeinden Bad Vöslau, Tattendorf und Blumau-Neurißhof repräsentieren unterschiedliche Raumtypologien - urban, rural, post-industriell - und bilden die Grundlage für die Betrachtung von Raumstruktur, Gesellschaft und Baukultur.Methodisch basiert die Arbeit auf der Verknüpfung theoretischer, analytischer und kontextbezogener Verfahren. Der theoretische Teil verknüpft wissenschaftliche Grundlagen mit regionalen Analysen sowie den Ortsbegehungen und geht in einen praktischen Teil über, der durch Kartierungen und grafische Darstellungen ergänzt wird. Aus diesen Analysen entstehen die fünf Leitgedanken - Erfassen, Vermitteln, Aktivieren, Erhalten, Transformieren - die das entwickelte Instrumentarium strukturieren und Leerstand als räumliche, baukulturelle, soziale und atmosphärische Ressource begreifbar machen.Die Erkenntnisse zeigen, dass Leerstand stets im räumlichen und historischen Kontext zu betrachten ist, sich jedoch übergreifende Ansätze und Leitgedanken ableiten lassen. In Bad Vöslau steht die Reaktivierung der Kurkultur in ihren historischen Gebäuden im Vordergrund, in Tattendorf die Stärkung der dörflichen Identität und in Blumau-Neurißhof die Transformation des industriellen Erbes. Als gemeinsamer Ansatz wird die Stärkung der Ortskerne, die nachhaltige Innenentwicklung und die Bewusstseinsbildung für den Wert des Bestands verfolgt.Leerstand wird damit als Potenzial für räumliche, kulturelle und gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen verstanden, als Verbindung zwischen Vergangenheit und Zukunft, Funktionsverlust und Raumqualität, kultureller Identität und planerischem Handlungsbedarf.The examination of vacancy as a growing phenomenon of spatial transformation is based on a multitude of structural, economic, planning, and societal developments. Its relevance is reflected in profound processes operating across different scales, demonstrating that the question of how to deal with space, existing structures, and resources has become a central challenge within the planning discourse.The tension between newly developed areas and simultaneously unused building stock highlights spatial disparities in both urban and rural contexts. While new construction sites emerge on the edges of towns and cities, their centers are increasingly losing functions and quality of stay. Vacancy also affects the visual character and atmospheric perception of urban and rural settlements, acting as a mirror of historical developments and as a carrier of collective memory.Against this backdrop, the present thesis explores vacancy as a resource, focusing on the district of Baden, located in the industrial quarter of Lower Austria. Situated between the Vienna Woods and the Pannonian Basin, the region‘s spatial dynamics are shaped by proximity to Vienna, structural change, land consumption, and development pressure.The aim of the thesis is to analyze the causes, impacts, heritage, and regional context of vacancy in order to develop a set of instruments that can support municipalities in dealing with underused and unused building structures. The three selected case study municipalities - Bad Vöslau, Tattendorf, and Blumau-Neurißhof - represent different spatial typologies (urban, rural, and post-industrial) and provide the basis for a comparative examination of space, society, and building culture.Methodologically, the thesis combines theoretical, analytical and context-oriented approaches. The theoretical framework connects scientific foundations with regional analyses and on-site investigations and transitions into a practical part supported by mappings and graphic representations. From these analyses, five guiding principles emerge - Identify, Communicate, Activate, Preserve, Transform - which structure the proposed instrument and conceptualize vacancy as a spatial, architectural, social, and atmospheric resource. The findings reveal that vacancy as a resource must always be understood within its spatial and historical context, yet overarching approaches and guiding principles can be derived. In Bad Vöslau, the focus lies on reactivating the spa culture (Kurkultur) through its historic buildings, in Tattendorf, on strengthening village identity, and in Blumau-Neurißhof, on transforming the industrial heritage. As a shared approach, the thesis advocates for the revitalization of town centers, sustainable inner development, and raising awareness of the value of existing structures. Vacancy is thus understood as a potential for spatial, cultural, and societal development - a link between past and future, loss of function and spatial quality, cultural identity and planning action
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
