Although bibliometrics are normally applied to journal articles when used to support research evaluations, conference papers are at least as important in fast-moving computing-related fields. It is therefore important to assess the relative advantages of citations and altmetrics for computing conference papers to make an informed decision about which, if any, to use. This paper compares Scopus citations with Mendeley reader counts for conference papers and journal articles that were published between 1996 and 2018 in 11 computing fields and that had at least one US author. The data showed high correlations between Scopus citation counts and Mendeley reader counts in all fields and most years, but with few Mendeley readers for older conference papers and few Scopus citations for new conference papers and journal articles. The results therefore suggest that Mendeley reader counts have a substantial advantage over citation counts for recently published conference papers due to their greater speed, but are unsuitable for older conference papers.

The BJMT Text Watch appears in the second issue of each volume. It aims to raise awareness of music therapy writing outside the principal English language music therapy journals, and to act as a guide to the proliferating literature of our profession. It seeks to draw attention to relevant material from publications that may be less accessible to music therapists, and which therefore might otherwise be overlooked.1 Text Watch includes music therapy and related publications in English that have been published in the current or previous calendar year2- books, chapters, articles, published conference papers and other published media (CD-ROMs, videos, etc). Please note that articles published in English language music therapy journals are listed in Journal Watch (included in the first issue of each volume).

PurposeThis study aimed to identify barriers impeding circular economy (CE) uptake in the construction industry in literature, categorize them for the development of a framework and to seek the interrelationships among the categorized barriers. This allowed for identifying integrated solutions to holistically address the barriers. The study also sought to identify the “hot” themes, the knowledge gaps and future research directions on barriers impeding CE.Design/methodology/approachForty-eight relevant articles were desk reviewed from different construction peer-reviewed journals and published conference papers. A scientometric analysis allowed for co-occurrence of keywords relating to CE. A content analysis enabled the identification of 79 barriers impeding the uptake of CE in the construction industry which were further categorized into six distinct categories for the development of a framework showing the interrelationships among the categorized barriers.FindingsThe identified barriers include construction sector inertia, lack of design standards, lack of knowledge, awareness and understanding, design cost, and perception of second-hand materials as substandard among others. The study categorized the identified barriers for better understanding into six different groups: cultural barriers, social barriers, environmental barriers, economic barriers, technical barriers and technological barriers. Strategies to address the barriers were also proposed. The interrelationships among the various barriers were also shown in a proposed framework to educate professionals on the interconnectivity of the barriers.Practical implicationsCategorization of the various barriers impeding CE uptake contributes to the body of knowledge. Also, the interrelationships among the various categorized barriers in the framework will enable construction professionals make informed decisions regarding the successful integration of CE in the industry, better appreciate the barriers that impede CE uptake and apply strategies to holistically address the barriers. This will expand current knowledge outside the narrow scope of isolated barriers.Social implicationsTo the global construction industry, the review presents a list of barriers and their interrelationships that could provide implementation strategies for the uptake of CE in the industry.Originality/valueThe geographical scope of this study is not limited, and therefore encourages wide applicability of the findings to the global construction industry.

Applying the framework of coalitional rhetoric, this paper seeks to consider the rhetoric of prison literacy work and its implications for university-community relationships. Through an examination of four academic publications— three peer-reviewed articles and one published conference paper—that advocate or reflect the possibility of coalition-building between prison education programs and prison abolition. The selected texts represent how scholars of prison literacy and public rhetoric bridge abolition and prison education ideals by (1) mobilizing other scholars to join the prison abolition movement as well as (2) making a case for how prison education programs can contribute to the prison abolition movement. This essay explores how activist prison education scholars employ and adapt coalitional rhetoric within their scholarship, such as publishing incarcerated students’ writing to challenge dominant narratives, encouraging students to critique the PIC through critical pedagogy, helping other prison educators recognize the ways in which we are complicit, and much more. Considering the role of coalitional rhetoric in our work suggests the continuation of such coalition-building in directing prison education work to create social change beyond the university.

The Faculty of Social Sciences, Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta in collaboration with the Department of Geography of the Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) Malaysia, the Geography Department of Chulalongkorn University (CU) Thailand, the Geography Department of the University of Muhammadiyah Surakarta (UMS) Indonesia, and the Indonesian Geographical Association held The 2nd International Conference on Hazard Mitigation in Geographic and Education Perspectives (The 2nd ICHMGEP) on "Disaster Management for Enhancing Resilience, Risk Reduction and Sustainable Development Goals". This conference continues the tradition of scientific meetings (The 1st ICHMGEP) organized in 2018, which successfully gathered hundreds of participants and published conference papers in international publication outlets. The 2nd ICHMGEP 2020 provides a platform for researchers, lecturers, students, practitioners, and scientists to showcase their latest findings in areas of expertise, including geoscience, environment, science and technology innovation, mapping, and technological innovation. In addition, it aims to disseminate original research results, new ideas, innovations, practical experiments to promote scientific progress and achieve sustainable development goals.The 2nd ICHMGEP 2020 had formerly been planned to be organized in an offline format. However, it was conducted online on September 11-12, 2020 mainly due to the Covid-19 pandemic impacts. The increasing number of Covid-19 positive cases in Yogyakarta Province since March 2020 forced the government to carry out various restrictions on activities gathering many people like a conference. This is supported by the issuance of the Covid-19 emergency response period in Yogyakarta, Indonesia from March 20 - May 29 2020. Moreover, the emergency response period was extended on May 30 - June 30 2020, 1 - 31 July 2020, 1 - 31 August 2020, and 1 - 30 September 2020. In addition, the Covid-19 pandemic offered uncertainty and was difficult to be predicted when it would end. Therefore, the organizing committee decided to change the offline format into an online format as the conference would provide great benefit for the wider community including giving solutions to cope with covid-19 related problems. Also, many supportive platforms such as zoom dan live youtube could facilitate the implementation of the online conferenceList of Rundown The 2nd International Conference On Hazard Mitigation In Geographic And Education Perspectives (ICHMGEP) 2020, Room Distribution For Parallel Session 12 September 2020, Platform: Zoom, Images, Committee of The 2nd ICHMGEP 2020 are available in this pdf.

Estimation of a lithium battery electrical impedance can provide relevant information regarding its characteristics. Currently, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) constitutes the most recognized and accepted method. Although highly precise and robust, EIS is usually performed during laboratory testing and is not suitable for any on-board application, such as in battery electric vehicles (BEVs) because it is an instrumentally and computationally heavy method. To address this issue and on-line system applications, this manuscript describes, as a main contribution, a passive method for battery impedance estimation in the time domain that involves the voltage and current profile induced by the battery through its ordinary operation without injecting a small excitation signal. This method has been tested on the same battery with different passive voltage and current profile and has been validated by achieving similar results. Compared to the original idea presented in the published conference paper, this manuscript explains, in detail, the previously developed method of transforming the battery impedance from the frequency domain to time domain. Moreover, this impedance measurement is used to estimate more robustly the battery state of charge (SoC) through Kalman filters. In the original published conference paper, only an extended Kalman filter (EKF) was applied. However, in this manuscript, an EKF and an unscented Kalman filter (UKF) are used and their performances are compared.

The International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®) is the only nursing terminology that has been accepted within the Family of International Classification of the World Health Organization. The academic teaching of ICNP® could contribute to improve nursing clinical practice. However, standards for its implementation in undergraduate nursing education together with a nursing theoretical model are not available. To know the state of the art about the use of ICNP® in undergraduate nursing education and its use with a nursing theoretical model. A narrative literature review was conducted searching main health scientific databases and including monographs, statements from international associations, and published conference papers. Available literature about ICNP® implementation in nursing education and its use with theoretical models is limited. Results supported the organization of a specific course on ICNP® before clinical teaching programs, the development of paper or electronic ICNP® based educational tools, and the use of active learning strategies. Only three experiences reporting the use of ICNP® with theoretical models have been found. Both the use of ICNP® in nursing undergraduate education and its use according to one or more nursing theoretical models, could help students to learn nursing process. However, weak recommendations can be found in the literature to orient ICNP® implementation in undergraduate nursing education and/or with an explicit theoretical framework. Further studies focusing on these issues are strongly needed.

This volume presents the proccedings of the 11th International Workshop on Combinatorial Image Analysis. IWCIA 2006 was the 11th in a series of international workshopfs devoted to combinatorial image analysis. Prior meetings took place in Paris (France 1991), Ube (Japan 1992), Wahington DC (USA 1994), Lyon (France 1995), Hiroshima (Japan 1997), Madras (India 1999), Philadelphia (USA 2001), Palermo (Italy 2003) and Auckland (New Zealand 2004). For this workshop we received 59 papers from all over the world. Each paper was assigned to three independent referees and carefully revised. Finally, we selected 34 papers for the conference based on content, significance, relevance, and presentation. Conference papers are presented in this volume in the order they were presented at the conference. The topics of the conference covered combinatorial image analysis, grammars and models for analysis and recognition of scenes or images, combinatorial topology and geometry for images, digital geometry of curves or surfaces, algebraic approaches to image processing, image, point-clouds or surface registration as well as fuzzy and probabilistic image analysis. The programm followed a single-track format with presentations of all published conference papers. Non-overlapping oral and poster sessions ensured that all attendees had opportunities to interact personny with presenters. Among the highlights of the meeting were the talks of our two invited speakers, renowned experts in the field of descrete geometry, digital topology, and image analysis. - David Coeurjolly (University of Lyon, France): Computational Aspects of Digital Plane and Hyperplane Recognition - Longin Jan Latecki (Temple University, Philadelphia, USA): Polygonal Approximation of Point Sets.
