Espacio Q. Laboratorio de Creatividad Urbana
Get PDFEspacio Q es un colectivo de investigadores de la E.T.S. de Arquitectura de Sevilla con
intereses en diferentes líneas de trabajo bajo el paradigma de la ciudad creativa. Se centra en
obsolescencias, emergencias y procesos urbanos de la ciudad contemporánea y en el estudio
de nuevas formas de intervención urbana, en el marco de un contundente periodo de crisis
económica, social y arquitectónica. Parte de una base teórica sustentada en líneas de
investigación sobre la ciudad contemporánea desarrolladas por Carlos García Vázquez, a las
que se han añadido las aportaciones recientes de jóvenes investigadores.
Partiendo de los trabajos de investigación realizados por sus componentes, se detecta una
gran desconexión entre la amplia bibliografía existente sobre estas cuestiones urbanas y la
aplicación práctica a situaciones reales. El discurso que dio origen a la reflexión sobre la
creatividad urbana, liderado por Landry y Florida desde las dos últimas décadas del XX, ha
terminado alejándose con frecuencia del ámbito inmediato de la ciudadanía, y encuadrado en
los discursos oficiales del marketing urbano.
A su vez, también se detecta la emergencia de nuevas iniciativas que ya están ocurriendo en
las ciudades, en ocasiones de forma planeada desde el poder y las instituciones, y, en otros
casos, de manera informal y espontánea, que cuestionan las figuras tradicionales de
intervención urbana, a través de la acción conjunta de colectivos, arquitectos y ciudadanos. A
partir de esta constatación, Espacio Q busca incorporar el estudio y la acción sobre situaciones
reales al proceso de investigación académica aplicada.
Como respuesta a estas inquietudes, se define el concepto de “creatividad urbana” según es
entendido desde este colectivo, atendiendo a su escala global y local. La creatividad se legitima
como herramienta para la intervención urbana, modificando las condiciones de contorno de lo
público y lo privado. La creatividad aparecerá como campo de desarrollo de las prácticas
cívicas y arquitectónicas, experimentando soluciones imaginativas, no convencionales e
inesperadas, que exploten las posibilidades últimas del lema: cambio pequeño, grandes
efectos.
A partir de la definición de la creatividad urbana como sustrato común, se especifican las líneas
de investigación de Espacio Q y se establecen sus objetivos, que buscan materializarse a
través de la definición de unos procesos de investigación activa. El desarrollo de proyectos de
investigación y acción que permitan experimentar estos procesos aparecerá como
complemento inmediato de la reflexión, señalando la eficiencia y la recuperación de la
naturalidad como vías prioritarias para la construcción de la ciudad contemporánea
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
