    El paisatge, de nou: manual per a la recuperació del paisatge

    No full text
    Hi ha moments en què el paisatge s’imposa, ja no com a decorat, sinó com a ferida oberta i com a promesa. Ja no és silenci, sinó pregunta. Ens interpel·la amb la força d’allò que persisteix: sota la fragmentació, sota l’oblit, sota l’ús intensiu, encara hi batega una possibilitat. Aquest treball neix d’aquesta crida: una urgència que no és només ecològica o tècnica, sinó profundament cultural i emocional. Cal tornar al paisatge no per restaurar-ne una imatge idealitzada, sinó per comprendre’n les traces, escoltar-ne la memòria i activar-ne el futur. La recerca parteix d’una revisió profunda del concepte de paisatge, tal com l’entenem avui, des d’una perspectiva multidimensional; ecològica, cultural, simbòlica i social. Així doncs, s’en traça l’evolució històrica fins a les seves implicacions contemporànies, entenent sempre el vincle entre allò humanitzat i allò natural. Un marc teòric que es completa a través de cinc casos d’estudi, que exemplifiquen cinc estratègies clau per entendre i abordar la recuperació del paisatge en contextos diversos: des de la reparació ecològica fins a la restauració d’infraestructures, la reutilització de materials, la gestió del patrimoni o la reactivació social dels llocs. Una investigació que es desplega com un manual obert, una actitud i una ètica davant del territori. Mitjançant deu estratègies paisatgístiques, es proposa una manera d’actuar que fuig de les solucions tancades i abraça la complexitat. Es reivindica així, el valor dels materials com a memòria, de les infraestructures com a fils de cosir territori, i de la natura com a agent actiu de regeneració. Intervenir, aquí, no és imposar una forma, sinó desbloquejar potencials. És entendre el paisatge com un futur possible que parteix del que encara hi és. Un futur on ecologia, funció i bellesa puguin conviure: no com a luxe, sinó com a necessitat compartida.Hay momentos en que el paisaje se impone, ya no como decorado, sino como herida abierta y como promesa. Ya no es silencio, sino pregunta. Nos interpela con la fuerza de aquello que persiste: bajo la fragmentación, bajo el olvido, bajo el uso intensivo, todavía late una posibilidad. Este trabajo nace de este llamamiento: una urgencia que no es solo ecológica o técnica, sino profundamente cultural y emocional. Hay que volver al paisaje no para restaurar una imagen idealizada, sino para comprender las trazas, escuchar la memoria y activar el futuro. La investigación parte de una revisión profunda del concepto de paisaje, tal como lo entendemos hoy, desde una perspectiva multidimensional; ecológica, cultural, simbólica y social. Así pues, se traza la evolución histórica hasta sus implicaciones contemporáneas, entendiendo siempre el vínculo entre aquello humanizado y aquello natural. Un marco teórico que se completa a través de cinco casos de estudio, que ejemplifican cinco estrategias clave para entender y abordar la recuperación del paisaje en contextos diversos: desde la reparación ecológica hasta la restauración de infraestructuras, la reutilización de materiales, la gestión del patrimonio o la reactivación social de los lugares. Una investigación que se despliega como un manual abierto, una actitud y una ética ante el territorio. Mediante diez estrategias paisajísticas, se propone una manera de actuar que huye de las soluciones cerradas y abraza la complejidad. Se reivindica así, el valor de los materiales como memoria, de las infraestructuras como hilos de coser territorio, y de la natura como agente activo de regeneración. Intervenir, aquí, no es imponer una forma, sino desbloquear potenciales. Es entender el paisaje como un futuro posible que parte del que todavía está. Un futuro donde ecología, función y belleza puedan convivir: no como lujo, sino como necesidad compartida.There are moments when the landscape asserts itself, no longer as mere scenery, but as an open wound and a promise. It is no longer silence, but a question. It challenges us with the strength of what persists: beneath fragmentation, neglect, and intensive use, a possibility still beats. This work arises from that call: an urgency that is not only ecological or technical but deeply cultural and emotional. We must return to the landscape not to restore an idealized image, but to understand its traces, listen to its memory, and activate its future. The research begins with a thorough review of the concept of landscape as we understand it today, from a multidimensional perspective; ecological, cultural, symbolic, and social. Thus, its historical evolution is traced to its contemporary implications, always considering the link between the humanized and the natural. This theoretical framework is completed through five case studies that exemplify five key strategies to understand and approach landscape recovery in diverse contexts: from ecological restoration to infrastructure rehabilitation, material reuse, heritage management, and social reactivation of places. The investigation unfolds as an open manual, an attitude and ethic towards the territory. Through ten landscape strategies, it proposes a way of acting that avoids closed solutions and embraces complexity.It thus reclaims the value of materials as memory, infrastructures as threads to sew the territory together, and nature as an active agent of regeneration. Intervening here is not about imposing a form but unlocking potentials. It is about understanding the landscape as a possible future that arises from what still remains. A future where ecology, function, and beauty coexist—not as a luxury, but as a shared necessity.Award-winnin

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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 text
    We 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
