THE FIRST IMPRESSION - An investigation of spatial size, ornamentations, configurations and accessibility in Swedish apartment building entrances 1900-2020
No full textThe first physical impression of an apartment building is passing the gate door and entering the stairwell where all the apartment doors are. The entrance situation. The space is not private nor public. It is a space filled with qualities. The first physical impressions of residence buildings are more than just the connection between the public street meeting the port door and the private home behind the apartment door. It is a space that connects the history of the building to a period of architectural era. The interior space in the entrance situation is the most commonly the only space in an apartment building which is kept as the architect drew it.
The aim of this thesis is to examine the development on entrance situations in Swedish residences in order to facilitate the design process on entrance situations for architects in practice as well for students by investigating the transition from the common port door and stairwell up until the private apartment door. The purpose is to define these spaces and investigate the qualities in size, functions, measurements, atmospheres, and light transmission. Furthermore, the entrance situation acts as a transition between the public and private space in a modest way without disturbing the sequence. However, the sequence has been development through history so each building act as a personal sequence based on the decade. The paper will examine a more historical perspective with the research question; How does the representatives for each decade develop from the 1900s to 2020s in Swedish apartment buildings?.
The investigation has clearly shown that an entrance situation is dependent on several factors to achieve a welcoming and safe environment for the residents. The investigation raises the question of what does the environment have as its main purpose? To design good entrance situations today, architects need to decide the purpose of the space first. Throughout history, the purpose of the entrance situation has developed which has also lead to the development of the different factors regarding light transimssion, configuration and conformations changing thorughout the time line of the master thesis
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
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
