Beschouwingen rond de huizencollectie van de Vereniging Hendrick de Keyser
Get PDFThe private Hendrick de Keyser Association, founded in 1918, now owns approximately 350 premises on the basis of which further study of the Dutch dwelling is possible. Research was not the object of the Association; its main concern was to save the premises by acquisition, restoration and responsible management. In the first decade the Association acquired 62 premises, which were restored in an austere manner. In 1928 all the houses appeared full-page in a memorial book containing 14 different contributions: Oud-Hollandse bouwkunst en haar behoud. In 1939 the Association owned 85 premises; after an introduction they were described chronologically by F.A.J. Vermeulen in the subsequent jubilee book of which reprints appeared in 1943 and 1944.
After the Second World War the collection steadily increased to 170 in 1968, which induced monument conservers R. Meischke and H.J. Zantkuijl to write Het Nederlandse Woonhuis van 1300-1800. A typology of houses was made on the basis of the internal structure, paying particular attention to the woodwork of the houses, such as the timber frames, wooden beams and lower fronts. Side rooms, entresols, upstairs flats and rear annexes were described and for the first time types like the broad and the double house were discussed.
After 1969 the collection of houses doubled, which gave rise to a four-volume publication, started in 1993, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Association, and completed in 2000. Each volume consists of a description of related landscapes and an approximately similar number of houses. Each volume by itself is autonomous and includes a general, often thematically coloured introduction. The structure of the building trade was chosen as a main theme in an attempt at surveying architecture and technology as a unity. Through building-historical and dendrochronological research it is now possible to date the woodwork accurately, something that used to be so elusive.
For the new publication the old team of the Amsterdam Bureau for the conservation of monuments was available again: Zantkuijl, Raue and Meischke, together with the young art historian Paul Rosenberg who described each house once again and added historical data. The author works out a number of conclusions in the article, such as the organisation of the building trade, the role of carpenters and bricklayers, the influence of commissioners, the guilds and the urban building practice, the trade in building materials and the role of qualified architects
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
Het Amsterdamse fabrieksambt van 1595-1625
Get PDFThe fact that architecture in the Northern Netherlands was flourishing in the early 17th century, at the moment when the war against Spain was taking a favourable turn, manifested itself most clearly in Amsterdam. The building trade of this rapidly growing town ('stadsfabrieksambt' / public works) was expanding. Everything that the town wished to be built was designed and made by public works. In 1595 its leadership was renewed, Hendrick Jacobsz Staets was appointed town carpenter, Cornelis Danckertsz town bricklayer and Hendrick de Keyser (1565-1621) town mason and sculptor.
As the archives of public works were lost, little is known about the cooperation between these three. Too many ill-founded contemplations have been devoted to the assumed bad relationship between Staets and De Keyser. However, gradually we have learned more about Hendrick de Keyser's private work for other towns and for private persons. We have compared this private work with the many small buildings the town had built between 1600 and 1621. It proves to form a unity with these.
It seems likely that Staets initially also designed buildings - which was customary for a town carpenter - and called in De Keyser for the decorative work. After approximately 1605, however, De Keyser designed all new construction for the town. His work shows a personal use and an autonomous development of the motifs of Architectura Moderna (1577) of Hans Vredeman de Vries. The major aspects he derived from it are the differences in design of each floor, the window coverings which were incorporated into the main frames separating the floors, and the enlivenment of the wall sections by means of niches or chinks.
Around 1610 Hendrick De Keyser's style was getting more mature. The small natural-stone blocks in the window arches made way for a few larger blocks. Thus a new fashion in the architecture of facades started. He also experimented with triangular arches after the model of the Porta Pia by Michelangelo. The many interruptions in the cornices made his work a typical example of Dutch Mannerism.
On the other hand, his work also reveals pre-Classicist characteristics. And in this, too, he follows the work of Vredeman de Vries. Nowadays the latter is too often regarded as a source of inspiration for incoherent gables, in spite of the fact that among his examples there are more buildings with hipped roofs than with gables.
The oldest pre-Classicist building in Amsterdam was the weighhouse at Dam square, dating back to 1563. From that moment on buildings with Classicist and Mannerist characteristics arose in the town. Until after 1630 Jacob van Campen and Philips Vingboons definitely guided architecture into the direction of Classicism
De 'meesters van het steenwerck' en de Sint-Laurenskerk te Rotterdam
Get PDFAfter Besemer's building-historical research (note 2) in this article an effort has been made to investigate the place of the St Laurens church in the architecture of its time. A comparison with similar projects in the surroundings, for which more data were available in the records, proved to be necessary.
In the County Holland the Brabant stone trade had secured the market with an increasingly sizeable supply of hewn material. For the commissioners the choice of the material, the delivery period and obtaining a reasonable price were particularly important. For this purpose a master of the stonework was enlisted as an adviser, who only came over from time to time, on call, sometimes for just one piece of advice, for other works for many years' guidance from a distance.
In Rotterdam the hand of such a master is to be recognised at the points of time when the two large orders of stone were made. The first adviser must have been called in around 1463, when the contracts for the stone of the nave were concluded. It is likely that the Utrecht cathedral architect Jacob van der Borch was charged with this task.
A second leader was necessary around 1488, when the large bulk of stonework for the choir and the transepts had to be arranged. By that time the use of stone had increased to such an extent that more stonemasons and advisers were available. It is clear that the major masters, Anthonis Keldermans and Cornelis de Wael were passed over and a local figure was charged with the leadership.
The latter concurred with the nave, which resulted in a complete interior, but effected a fascinating and original composition of the choir section. A master of the St John's church in Gouda may have played this role. At any rate, the St Laurens church originated from a co-operation between the Brabant stone trade and the Dutch masters and their advisers
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
