Erneuerungsstrategien bei der Platzgestaltung mit Säulenhallen in Eretria und Amarynthos
No full textThe late Archaic East Stoa on the agora at Eretria was rebuilt provisionally after its destruction, probably due to the Persian attack of 490 B.C. The secular building, which bordered the eastern side of the agora, had obviously to continue fulfilling its function as a market building. Only about one century later, the building was substituted by a new stoa. For this replacement building, the typology with rear rooms was kept as well as the size and probably the number of the rooms. Still, the new stoa was broader, more representative, and thus of contemporary style. To adjust the broader building to the existing urban pattern, it was slightly shifted to the east. Similarly, the existing North Stoa was converted into a more representative building: While keeping parts of the building and its typology with short returning walls along the front, it was enlarged towards the agora.
Whereas the urban concept and building typology of the stoas on the agora stayed the same from late Archaic until late Hellenistic times, the extra-urban sanctuary of Artemis at Amarynthos was modernised more radically. The ongoing research shows that a stoa framing the open space in the east was introduced there later, namely at the end of Classic times in the course of a reorganisation of the space.
This paper investigates the strategies of renewal on both the agora and the extra-urban sanctuary of the city Eretria. Both are constitutive elements of a Greek polis and therefore characterised by continuity of function. Still, at the current state of research, the agora shows more conservatism than the sanctuary. Furthermore, the analysis of the modifications of the agora buildings in comparison to the initial design revealed similarities with the treatment of well-known sacred buildings, such as the temples of Apollon at Delphi or Bassae. Thus, a conservative attitude is not only detectable on religious architecture and therefore motivated by cult, as often stated. By contrast, in the case of the agora of Eretria, which offered a seminal urban concept from the beginning, practical and functional reasons seem to have been reconciled with the desire for gentle modernisation. The phenomenon of succeeding buildings, which is frequent in Greek antiquity, contrasts with our modern claim for authenticity for the built heritage. Still, it can be understood as a continuous renewal of the initial design of a building or a square
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Bossenstil und Baumaterial
No full textThe blocked-out capital is usually regarded as one of the characteristic elements of proper Nabataean architecture. But the question of how and why this style came into being is rarely addressed. This article argues that its ›invention‹ was dictated by the properties of the soft local stone, and that its use was by no means restricted to the Nabataean realm. Instead it occured at many sites within a similar geological setting. Using capitals in their roughed-out state soon developed into a regional fashion and typologically the capitals appeared more and more removed from the finished Corinthian shape.
Where different qualities of stone were locally available, blocked-out capitals have often been used in one and the same building in combination with elaborate Corinthian capitals. Several reasons may have dictated the choice. One of them was the demand for more durable shapes on facades than a fragile ornamentation could provide
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
