Local Contribution to Union Disaster Resilience Goals
No full textThe EU had adopted Sendai FWA and Agenda 2030 in 2015 including its transformative concepts like the MCR 2030 campaign, which helped cities to contribute to global disaster resilience goals. An important question that remained unsolved was the contribution of the local “community level”, which is most affected by the occurrence of natural disasters.
In its own interest EU has now amended its legislation to develop Union Disaster Resilience Goals (DRG) using its Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM), which is, like the MCR2030 Campaign, mentioned in the EU Sendai Action Plan as a key driver for local level implementation of the Sendai priority to ‘strengthen disaster risk governance to manage disaster risks’. The document also proclaims the need to develop inclusive local and national disaster risk reduction strategies, with active engagement of local actors - authorities, communities and civil society.
This is precisely how the local level and RESILOC can contribute to the Union Disaster Resilience Goals.
The contribution to the UDRGs needs to start with local resilience assessments that are based on community-specific scenarios, resilience Indicators and local targets, all of which will be defined in a co-creative manner involving local experts and key stakeholders from the community. The output would be a Community Resilience Action Plan/Strategy that is based on local needs as a contribution from the local level “Community” to the EU Level. At the same time it the local level needs support from the EU level in form of information from science and experts to be able to integrate global scenarios and best practices in their local transition from risk to resilience thinking
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
Anwendung von Ethik und Responsible Research auf der Projektebene (RESILOC). Umsetzung und Erkenntnisse von Ethics Requirements im RESILOC Projekt
No full textDer Vortrag spricht über mögliche Maßnahmen um ethische Interaktion, etische Ergebnisse in EU Projekten zu erreichen. Er hebt hervor, dass das "Ethics Monitoring" für die Research Executive Agency (REA) an Bedeutung gewinnt. und dass es wichtig ist die Verantwortung früh, wenn möglich bis zum Anwender der Lösung, zu übertragen um Einschränkungen in der Nutzung ´/ Nutzbarkeit zu vermeiden. Hierzu müssen relevante Ethikorgane aktiv und ansprechbar sein (funktionale Mailadresse). Zugleich braucht es eine statische Informationsgrundlage die verständlich und abrufbar ist und über die sich Partner dauerhaft informieren können. Flow Charts sind eine klare Bereicherung innerhalb dieser statischen Informationsgrundlage und seitens REA gern gesehen. Informationsgrundlagen. Ethik Risiken sollten aktiv gemanagt werden ein Ethik Risiko Register kann hilfreich sein, um Risiken, die local auftreten im Zeitverlauf zu bewerten und Transparenz für andere Partner zu schaffen
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
