Pelastuslaitteiden harjoitusopas, M/S Falco
Full text linkTurvallisuus merellä ja merenkulussa, tai meriturvallisuus, on laaja käsite, joka käsittää paitsi alusten henkilökunnan ja matkustajat, myös meriympäristön sekä rannikkoalueiden suojelun. Merten yhdistäessä maailman mantereet toisiinsa, on myös liikenne niillä maailmanlaajuista ja vaatii siten niin kansainvälistä kuin kansallisenkin tason ohjausta ja sopimuksia myös turvallisuuteen liittyen.
Näillä erilaisilla sopimuksilla ja vaatimuksilla varmistamaan turvallisen meriliikenteen niin matkustajille, alusten henkilöstölle kuin koko laajemmalle ympäristölle. Niiden noudattaminen sekä ajantasaiset oppaat ja laitteistot, osaavan henkilöstön ohella, ovat ehdoton edellytys turvalliselle merenkäynnille.
Tämän lopputyön lopullisena tavoitteena oli toteuttaa tarkoituksenmukainen ja selkeä pelastuslaitteiston harjoitusopas lautta-alus M/S Falcolle. Koottu harjoitusopas on ensimmäinen laatuaan. Lopputyön teoreettisessa osuudessa luotiin katsaus paitsi kohdealukseen myös ennen kaikkea merenkulun turvallisuuteen liittyviin kansainvälisiin sekä kansallisiin sopimuksiin ja niiden vaikutuksiin. Lisäksi tarkasteltiin hyvän harjoitusoppaan ominaispiirteitä ja siten luotiin pohja sekä tavoitteet itse harjoitusoppaalle.
Harjoitusopas toteutettiin tilaustyönä Suomen lauttaliikenne Finferries Oy:lle.Säkerhet till sjöss och inom sjöfart, eller sjösäkerhet är ett brett begrepp som omfattar såväl fartygens besättning och passagerare som havs och kustområdens skyddande. När haven binder samman världens kontinenter är även trafiken på dessa världsomfattande och kräver således internationella och nationella riktlinjer och överenskommelser även gällande säkerhet.
Med dessa överenskommelser och fodringar försöker man säkra en trygg sjöfarts verksamhet för passageraren, fartygspersonalen och den övriga omgivningen. Fullföljandet av bestämmelserna och uppdaterade handböcker och instrument med en kunnig personal är ett absolut förutsättning för en trygg sjöfart.
Slutliga målet med detta slutarbetet är att förverkliga en tillräcklig och klar övningshandbok för räddningsutrustningen på M/S Falco. En sammanställd övningshandbok är första av sitt slag. I den teoretiska delen av slutarbetet skapades en överblick av såväl fartyget i fråga som internationella och nationella bestämmelser och deras inverkan. Därtill undersöktes vilka egenskaper en bra övningshandbok bör ha och på så vis skapades grunden och målsättningen för övningshandboken.
Övningshandboken skapades på beställning av Suomen lauttaliikenne Finferries OY.Safety at sea and in seafaring is a wide concept that encompasses not only the crew and passengers on board but also the concepts, and protection, of sea as an environment and the coastal areas surrounding it. Seas and other water areas connect the coasts and continents bringing together people and cargos from all over the world. Thus also the safety aspects need to be covered from international as well as national level perspectives. This means contracts and guidelines covering all the sea areas and the traffic within them.
These rules and agreements aim to ensure safety at sea for all the actors involved; crew, passengers, cargo and, as mentioned, for the sea environment itself. Following these rules and compliance with the agreements is, alongside good seamanship and trained crew, an absolute prerequisite for safety at sea.
This thesis was aimed to implement a functional and working training manual for lifesaving appliances (pelastuslaitteiston harjoitusopas) for M/S Falco. The manual made was first of its kind for the ferry in questions. The theoretic thesis part of the process was built as a strong basis and premise for the manual. The actual thesis part viewed, naturally in addition to the ferry itself, the international and national actors and agreements relating to the safety in seafaring. Also, the necessary features for a good training manual were reviewed and with those, the aims and frame for the manual made.
The training manual was custom-made for M/S Falco and carried out upon the request of Finferries Oy
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
