Pedestrian traffic in Sofia
Get PDFIch bin Boris Yotsov. Ich komme aus Bulgarien. Der Titel meiner Diplomarbeit ist: "Fußgängerverkehr in Sofia". Ich habe die aktuelle Situation des Fußgängerverkehrs in Sofia bestimmt, das Problem des Fußgängerverkehrs definiert, einen Verbesserungsmassnahmenplan geschaffen, einen Vergleich zwischen Fußgängerverkehr in Sofia und in Wien gezogen. Die Arbeit setzt sich aus zwei großen Blöcken zusammen, einem theoretischen Teil und einer Untersuchung. Der theoretische Teil stellt allgemeine Parameter des Fußgängerverkehrs, auch einen Vergleich zwischen österreichischen und bulgarischen Richtlinien und Vorschriften dar. Die Untersuchung beschäftigt sich mit der Bestimmung der aktuellen Situation der Geh-Infrastruktur in Sofia und Definition des Problems. Ich bestimme auch hier die Geh-Geschwindigkeiten der Menschen in verschiedenen Abschnitten in Wien und Sofia. Im zweiten Teil der Untersuchung wird die Beobachtung durch eine Befragung ergänzt. Hier wird neben den theoretischen Kennziffern der Fußgänger ein hypothetisches Verhalten in unterschiedlichen Situationen abgefragt. Ich probierte auch den Verwalter und die Gemeindeverwaltung über bestehende Projekte zu befragen. Am Ende vorschlage ich eine neue Verkehrsstrategie für Fußgängerverkehr auch eine mögliche Vorgehensweise für eine weitere Attraktivierung des Fußgängerverkehrs im politische Niveau. Ich möchte alle Stadt-, Verkehrsplaner und Politiker inspirieren die Welt mit anderen Augen zu sehen. Sofia hat zentrale Funktion in Bulgarien. Die Population in Sofia vergrößert sich jedes Jahr mit beschleunigtem Tempo. Sofia bewirbt um "Europäische Stadt der Kultur" für Jahr 2019. Das braucht viele Verbesserungsmaßnahmen nicht nur in Kultur, sondern auch in Fußgängerinfrastruktur. Die gut geplante und gestaltete Infrastruktur ist ein Merkmal für Lebensqualität der Stadt. Die Hauptergebnisse sind von vielen Dokumenten, Linien und Vorschriften für Gestaltung und Projektierung, meiner Untersuchung, Befragungen der Fußgänger in Sofia zusammengefasst. Ich habe auch den Verkehrsmasterplan in Sofia - Fußgängerverkehr bekommnen. Die Untersuchung hat gezeigt, dass die mittlere Fußgängergeschwindigkeit in Wien um 0,12 m/s höher als jene in Sofia ist. Die Gruppe der Behinderten und die Gruppe der kleinen Kinder, alter Menschen in Wien haben eine höhere Geschwindigkeit als die in Sofia.Die Ursachen dafür sind: der bessere Zustand der Fußgängerinfrastruktur besonders die Gehsteigbelage, die frühere Uhrzeit der Messung der Geschwindigkeiten und auch die behindertenfreundliche Gestaltung des Fußgängernetzes in Wien. Die Wiener Frauen und Männer gehen mit 0,1 m/s schneller als jene in Sofia. Die Ursache ist vielleicht, dass der Freizeitverkehr in Sofia überwiegt. In der Befragung habe ich erfahrt, dass der Fußgänger nicht mit Ist - Zustand der Fußgängerinfrastruktur zufrieden ist, insbesondere mit mehreren Nachteilen, die auch in anderen Europäischen Städten vorhanden sind. Der Fußgänger fühlt sich unsicher und gefährdet durch das Auto. Ich habe fünf Abschnitte von Fußgängerinfrastruktur in Sofia untersucht. Ich habe die Probleme definiert. Für jeden Defekt habe ich genauere Vorschläge für seine Beseitigung geboten. Die Bewertung von Resultaten von der Untersuchung hat viele Probleme gezeigt, die mit schlechtem Zustand der Gehsteigbeläge, schmale Gehsteige, fehlende Querungshilfen und etc. verbunden sind.I am Boris Yotsov and I 'm from Bulgaria. The title of my master thesis is: "Pedestrian Traffic in Sofia." I determine the current situation of pedestrian traffic in Sofia, define the problem of pedestrian traffic, provide an improvement action plan, and make a comparison between pedestrian traffic in Sofia and Vienna. The master thesis consists of two major parts, a theoretical part and an investigation. The theoretical part represents general parameters of the pedestrian traffic, including a comparison between Austrian and Bulgarian policies and regulations. The investigation deals with the determination of the current situation of pedestrian infrastructure in Sofia and definition of the problem. Here I determine also the walking speed of people in various locations in Vienna and Sofia. In the second part of the study, the observation is performed by an inquiry. In addition to a hypothetical behavior, inquired in different situations, theoretical behavior of pedestrians will be considered. In addition, I try to have a meeting with people from the local and regional government to obtain information about existing projects for improvement of the pedestrian traffic in Sofia. Finally I suggest a new transport strategy for pedestrian traffic and possible procedures for making it more attractive in political level. My goal is all city traffic planners and politicians to be inspired and see the world with other eyes. Sofia has central role in Bulgaria. The population in Sofia is increased each year with an accelerated pace. Sofia is a candidate for "European City of Culture" for 2019. There is need of many improvements not only connected with culture, but also with pedestrian infrastructure. The well-planned and designed Infrastructure is a sign of quality of life. The main results are summarized from many documents, lines and prescriptions of design, my own analysis and surveys of foot passengers in Sofia. I have obtained the transport master plan of Sofia for pedestrian traffic. The investigation has shown that the average pedestrian speed in Vienna is higher with 0,12 m/s than in Sofia. The group of disabled people and the group of small children, old people in Vienna have shown a very higher speed than those in Sofia. The reasons are: the better condition of the pedestrian infrastructure, particularly the sidewalk coverings, the earlier time of the calculation of the velocities and also the disabled friendly design of the pedestrian network in Vienna. The Viennese women and men go with 0,1 m/s faster than those in Sofia. The reason is that a free time traffic predominates in Sofia. In the survey, I learned that the pedestrians are not satisfied with the current state of pedestrian infrastructure, especially with its multiple defects, which are also present in other European cities. The pedestrians feel insecure and threatened by cars. I have examined five sections of the pedestrian infrastructure in Sofia. I have defined the problems. For each defect I have considered detailed proposals for its removal. The evaluation of the results of the investigation has shown many problems, associated with poor condition of the sidewalk coverings, narrow sidewalks, lack of crossing facilities and etc
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
