Hvorvidt vokste det frem et bosnisk immigrantsamfunn i Norge som følge av flyktningstrømmen som startet i 1992, i lys av førstegenerasjons nordmenn med innvandrerbakgrunn fra Bosnia-Hercegovina?
No full textFormålet med prosjektet er å se på hvorvidt det vokser frem et bosnisk samfunn i Norge etter 1992, i lys av førstegenerasjons nordmenn født med bosnisk innvandrerbakgrunn. Masteroppgaven vil basere seg på livsløpsintervju samt andre intervju, og er svært viktig i en samtidsrettet belysning av den bosniske innvandrergruppen i Norge. For å svare på problemstillingen skal viktige temaer bli tematisert og drøftet. Et historisk bakteppe av folkegruppen vil bli satt, hvor dette bakteppet vil samspille med kulturelle forutsetninger hos den bosniske landegruppen i Norge. Videre vil viktige tema som diaspora, etnisitet og identitet bli drøftet, da disse ligger tett opp mot det historiske Bosnia. Oppgaven tar også for seg ulike samfunnsteoretiske syn, hvor disse blir sett i forhold til et bosnisk organisasjonsliv i Norge. Avslutningsvis vil også oppgaven ta for seg relasjoner til Norge og relasjoner til Bosnia, før det hele sammenfattes i et konklusjonskapittel
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
Implementation of aerogel-based plaster in Sweden -A hygrothermal parametric study on wall constructions in the Swedish building stock
Get PDFAs global warming continues, new solutions and technologies are constantly being sought to reduce human impact on the climate. This happens in many sectors, including the construction sector which also accounts for significant emissions. A new type of material has therefore been developed in Europe during the last decade, in this study referred to as aerogel-based plaster. It is a plaster containing aerogel granules which has a low thermal conductivity and is developed for buildings in need of renovation. As this plaster has an insulating ability, it can decrease the energy consumption of the building while the character defining elements can be preserved. The material has been studied in central European climate, while this study aims to explore the suitability of using the material in Sweden. Common building constructions in Sweden have been investigated through in-depth hygrothermal and energy simulations. Parametric studies have also been performed where factors such as damage in the water repellent layer, thickness of aerogel-based plaster, climate condition, and drying rate have been investigated. In addition, an analysis has also been made of the energy performance of the material and how it behaves in Swedish climate. The results suggest that the material can be used in the Swedish climate on many different wall constructions without the construction being damaged in terms of moisture. However, one crucial parameter is that the material is protected from rain as it can absorb a lot of water. This can be done by a suitable type of finish, such as water repellent paint. The energy simulations formed the basis for a simplified economic evaluation for the reference building, which showed that aerogel-based plaster is suitable when a thinner insulating layer shall be considered. When a thicker layer can be applied, other materials may be more beneficial since the cost of aerogel-based plaster largely depends on its thickness
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
