Young Peoples Everyday Life in Urbanplanen
No full textThe youth are the citizens of tomorrows urban areas. Therefore the Copenhagen Municipality is increasing their focus on involving the youth in urban redevelopment. Area-based renewal programs have been implemented to mobilize young people to take an interest in their local area. One area which has an area-based renewal program is Sundby located at Amager in Copenhagen. The area has been chosen for a renewal program due to its social and physical challenges. It is an area that consists of residential fields with a high level of young people who don’t get a secondary education after primary school. One of these residential fields is Urbanplanen located in Sundby. Urbanplanen is an area which has a high level of young residents compared to the rest of Copenhagen. The aim of this study is to examine how groups of young people between the age 13-18 use public areas in their everyday life, and how physical, social and rhythmical conditions have an impact on their use of urban areas. To answer this question the thesis has implied at mixed methods approach. The methodological approach consists of mapping, which have shown which streets in Sundby the young people use in their everyday life. The mapping has led us to a specific park in Sundby; Englandsparken. Here we have completed a rhytmanalysis to investigate how young people use the park. The rhrytmanalysis has been the basis of the focusgroupinterviews with young people who spend their everyday life in Urbanplanen. The study uses Henri Lefebvres theory on everyday life to investigate how they use urban spaces as a part of their daily routine. Lefebvres theory will be supplemented with Hugh Matthews, Melanie Limb and Mark Taylor whose theory focuses on how young people use the street as a third space. Owain Jones’ theory on spaces will be used to investigate how young people use disordered spaces. The study shows that the different groups of young people use urban spaces differently in their everyday life. They all use the street as a hybrid space for the transition between childhood and adulthood where they develop their identity in groups. The group of older teenagers in the age bracket 16-18 years, use disordered places where they can be without any adult supervision. The group that consist of younger teenagers in the age bracket 13-15 years prefer spaces with a clear function, which can be categorized as arranged spaces. For the older group, the social aspect outweighs the physical aspect of the space. For the younger group, the physical aspect has a large impact on where and how they use public spaces. The rhythmical aspect has contributed to the understanding that public spaces can change from spaces to disordered spaces at different times during the day. <br/
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
Fysisk omdannelse i udsatte boligområder. En undersøgelse om at styrke beboernes tryghed og forebygge kriminalitet
Full text linkDer iværksættes i disse år omfattende omdannelser i de mest udsatte boligområder med nedrivning og nybyggeri for at få en mere blandet beboersammensætning. Et kendetegn ved mange udsatte boligområder er, at de er isolerede fra omkringliggende by- og boligområder, og at der er en række problemer, som gør at beboerne føler sig mere utrygge her end i andre boligområder. Der har derfor gennem mange år været gennemført fysisk renovering og boligsociale indsatser i de udsatte boligområder. Et grundlæggende spørgsmål i relation til utryghed og kriminalitet er betydningen af de fysiske rammer. I denne rapport undersøges, hvorvidt og i givet fald hvordan den fysiske omdannelse, der er gennemført i to udvalgte boligområder, har medvirket til at nedbringe kriminalitet og/eller øge beboernes tryghed.Undersøgelsen og rapporten tager afsæt i kriminalpræventive og tryghedsskabende anbefalinger, og viser, at omdannelse af udearealerne har gjort det mere attraktivt for beboerne at færdes og opholde sig udenfor, fordi de føler sig mere trygge end før omdannelsen. Undersøgelsen viser også, at renoveringen af facader samt ude- og opholdsarealer har medvirket til et fald i hærværk på boligblokke samt byinventar i de to områder. Opsætning af vinduer og altaner i boligblokke med lukkede gavle og andre steder, hvor udsynet er begrænset, har desuden haft en positiv effekt ift. beboernes følelse af tryghed. Den fysiske omdannelse har således skabt positive forandringer, som har givet områderne et bedre omdømme, hvilket i nogen grad har tiltrukket nye, ressourcestærke beboere. Dette viser, at fysisk omdannelse, i sammenhæng med boligsociale indsatser, kan gøre det mere attraktivt og trygt at bo i områderne.Der iværksættes i disse år omfattende omdannelser i de mest udsatte boligområder med nedrivning og nybyggeri for at få en mere blandet beboersammensætning.

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
