Naturens kalender: Vårkollen - fenologiska observationer av medborgarforskare
No full textNature's Calendar (www.naturenskalender.se, in Swedish only) is run by the Swedish National Phenology Network (SWE-NPN), a consortium of Swedish universities, governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations. The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) hosts the network and is part of the Climate program within the environmental monitoring and assessment activity branch of the university. The main task for the Nature's calendar is to collect observations of different spring and autumn signs appearing during the vegetation season. SWE-NPN is connected to the monitoring of the Swedish Environmental Objectives, mainly concerning the objective Reduced Climate Impact, but is also collaborating with networks in Europe (through the Pan-European Phenology database - PEP725) and internationally (through the International Society of Biometeorology).
Data about the nature's calendar is collected in two ways, the long-term environmental monitoring through "Calendars", where phenological observations are reported all through the year, and through "Checks", where phenology observations are reported during short-time campaigns, giving a snapshot of the phenological status at a certain time of the year. The long-term environmental monitoring is performed by citizen scientists and professional observers at research stations and like. Since 2015, a campaign called "Vårkollen" (i.e. "Spring Check") has also been run April 30 - May 1 every year. In the Spring Check, Citizen Scientist's have reported observations of how far the development of the flowering of Liverleaf, Colt's-foot, Wood Anemone, Goat Willow and Bird Cherry, and budburst of birch have progressed. All species has also been reported in the historical dataset mentioned below.
The Spring Check campain is performed by two SWE-NPN partners, SLU and the Swedish Botanical Association (SBF), where SLU provides the technical platform and data analyses and SBF produce folders and by hosting regional contacts for the press. The results are made available to the public by press releases directly after the campain is finished.
Aims
The aim of the Nature's Calendar is to collect phenological data from the first spring sign to the last autumn sign, to be able to offer nation-wide data to everyone interested, to facilitate research, environmental assessments, the evaluation of environmental goals, etc, to be better prepared to meet the effects of climate change. Observations reported to the Nature's Calendar can be compared to similar observations collected for more than 100 years ago (see the Swedish Historical Phenology Dataset in "Related Reseach Data"), to detect evidence of phenological shifts over time that can be connected to climate change.
The aim with the data collection of the Spring Check is to obtain nationwide data that can provide information to understand, track changes and predict effects of climate change on natural plants in Sweden by studying the progress of some species all over the country at one and the same date every year, and compare the current progress with what have been seen in historical records of the same plants.
The dataset includes one file with observation data (spring_check_2015-2024.csv), one PDF file (metadata_spring_check_2015-2024.pdf) with metadata that describes how the included parameters should be interpreted and lists of included species and phases, and one PDF file (Varkollen_folder_2024.pdf) which is the instruction given to the observers (in Swedish, only). The observation data file includes totally 69,668 observations.Naturens kalender (www.naturenskalender.se) drivs av Svenska fenologinätverket, som är ett nätverk med flera universitet, myndigheter och föreningar. Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet (SLU) är nätverkets huvudman och ingår i universitetets miljöanalysverksamhet, tillhörande delprogrammet Klimat. Huvuduppgiften för Naturens kalender är att samla in observationer av vårtecken, hösttecken och annat i naturens kalender. Nätverkets verksamhet är i första hand kopplat till Sveriges miljökvalitetsmål Begränsad klimatpåverkan, men ingår även i europeiska (genom Pan-European Phenology database - PEP725) och intermationella (genom International Society of Biometeorology) samarbeten kring fenologisk forskning och miljöövervakning.
Data om naturens kalender samlas in på två olika sätt. Dels bedrivs en långsiktig miljöövervakning i form av ”kalendrar” där rapporter om fenologiska observationer samlas in över hela året, dels genomför vi korta ”kollar” där vi tar en ögonblicksbild av naturens kalender i landet vid en viss tidpunkt på året. Med början 2015 genomförs Vårkollen som en 2-dagars kampanj 30 april - 1 maj, där vi med hjälp av medborgarforskares observationer från hela landet får en "ögonblicksbild" av hur långt våren kommit vid den tidpunkten. I Vårkollen görs observationer av hur långt utvecklingen av blomning hos blåsippa, tussilago, vitsippa, sälg och hägg, samt lövsprickningen hos björk, vilka även förekommer i det historiska datasetet (se nedan).
Vårkollen genomförs av två partners i Svenska fenologinätverket, SLU och Svenska Botaniska Föreningen. SLU står för teknisk plattform och databearbetning, medan SBF står för informationsmaterial och regional medverkan genom sina lokalföreningar. Båda organisationerna bidrar med information till allmänheten via pressmeddelanden inför Vårkollen och med resultaten efteråt.
Motiv och syfte
Målet med Naturens kalender är att samla in data om allt från första vårtecken till sista hösttecken, så att vi kan erbjuda landsomfattande data till alla intresserade, för att underlätta forskning, miljömålsarbete och information, vilket kan göra oss bättre rustade att möta klimatförändringens effekter. Observationerna i Naturens kalender kan jämföras med motsvarande observationer som gjordes för över 100 år sedan (se Svenskt historiskt fenologidataset i "Relaterade forskningsdata"), för att upptäcka fenologiska förändringar över tid som kan bero på klimatförändringar.
Målet med Vårkollen är att bidra med landsomfattande data för att bättre kunna följa, förstå och förutse klimatförändringens effekter på vilda växter i Sverige genom att studera statusen över hela landet för de ingående arterna och faserna vid en och samma tidpunkt och jämföra dessa med historiska observationsdata för samma arter.
Datasetet innehåller en fil med observationsdata (spring_check_2015-2024.csv), en PDF-fil (metadata_spring_check_2015-2024.pdf) med metadata som beskriver ingående variabler och listor på ingående arter och faser, samt en PDF-fil (varkollen_folder_2024.pdf), som är den instruktion som de som rapporterar kan läsa. Observationsdatafilen innehåller totalt 69 668 observationer

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
