Collaborative Mapping Research Articles

Perkembangan Penelitian dan Pemetaan Topik pada Riset Sapi Bali berdasarkan Publikasi Jurnal Ilmiah dan Prosiding

Animals that have the potential to produce meat that can be developed are Bali cattle. Unlike imported cattle, Bali cattle are superior because they can withstand all weather and adapt easily. Research on Bali cattle is quite a lot. However, we do not yet know the direction and status of the research. For this reason, it is necessary to conduct a study of the research that has been carried out. The research data comes from secondary data, namely scientific journal articles and proceedings articles. Data publication year is limited to June 2023. Data is tracked using Publish or Perish software. The data obtained was processed using Zotero, MS-Excel and VOSviewer software. There were 983 studies found, with the highest number of animal feed and nutrition, with 190 studies (19.31%). The most productive researcher is Jakaria (49 titles). The number of Bali cattle studies each year varies greatly with the highest number occurring in 2020 (169 studies). It is known that the authorship pattern of the Bali cattle research results article is in accordance with Lotka's law with an exponent value of 2.1 and a constant value of 66%. The researcher collaboration map and research topic map were successfully created using VOSviewer. The degree of author collaboration was 0.91. Related research including animal waste, animal welfare, animal farm and conservation can still be developed because there are not many researches in these fields.

An Underwater Distributed SLAM Approach Based on Improved GMRBnB Framework

Multi-vehicle collaborative mapping proves more efficient in constructing maps in unfamiliar underwater environments in comparison to single-vehicle methods. One of the pivotal hurdles of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) with multiple underwater vehicles is map registration. Due to the inadequate characteristics of the underwater grid maps, matching map features poses a challenge, and outliers between maps add to the complexity. We propose an algorithm to solve this problem. This approach employs the Gaussian Mixture Robust Branch and Bound (GMRBnB) algorithm with an interior point filtering technique. Feature point extraction, registration using the GMRBnB algorithm, inlier extraction based on density, and registration of the inlier are performed to obtain a more precise transformation matrix. The results of the simulation and experiments demonstrate that this technique heightens outlier tolerance and reinforces map registration accuracy. The proposed approach surpasses Iterative Closest Point (ICP) and Normal Distributions Transform (NDT) methods with respect to map registration quality.

Conflicting landscapes – integrating sustainable tourism in nature park developments

ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to analyse conflicting landscape associations linked to nature parks. Drawing from an R&D project in one of the largest former wetlands in Denmark, we examine how diversified landscape perceptions and conflicting landscape preferences result from and condition the re-enchantment of nature parks for tourism development. The case study relies on various procedures. First, a combination of local accounts and fieldwork observations of tourism and landscapes. Second, interviews with tourists and local stakeholders on processes of engagement and disengagement with conservation, restoration, and re-wilding processes. Third, collaborative mapping with local stakeholders and citizens and their imaginaries of local nature. By combining literature reviews with findings from the case study, we derive different social imaginaries among tourism entrepreneurs, property owners, farmers, industrial actors, local citizens, and NGOs. Six conflicting landscape imaginaries are identified that, to varying degrees, may apply to other nature parks. Each approach holds different human-nature relations and views on what needs to be sustained locally, and what landscapes need to be developed. We conclude that conflicting positions and preferences over landscapes (geo-positionalities) may hinder interventions for sustainable transition, and that mapping these landscape positionalities may be useful for deliberation in tourism development initiatives.

Collaborative Mapping as a Tool for Citizen Participation: A Case of Cultural Heritage Management in Rural Areas

The role of citizens in the construction of knowledge is undergoing a clear transformation from a passive position, as mere observers and/or receivers, to an increasingly participatory role. This issue, which is directly related to governance policies as well as to the ICT revolution, can be seen in the field of cultural heritage and particularly architectural heritage management. The present paper aims to generate methodologies to involve citizens as active agents who must be involved in a real way in decision making concerning the protection and enhancement of cultural heritage. The results present the creation of a rural heritage interactive cartographic viewer as a collaborative mapping tool. The conclusions drawn position the citizens of rural, dispersed, or vulnerable areas as informers and builders of knowledge about the cultural and architectural heritage of their environment in terms of citizen science. At the same time, it strengthens the development of innovation strategies in the intervention, management, and communication of the existing dispersed heritage in rural areas.

“What does this mapping tell us about?” The generation of cultural evidence from the collaborative mapping in Lima, Peru

Information generation, data processing and territorial approaches are keys to more accurate cultural and urban policies, whether at a community, private or public sphere. This article discusses the main findings from the cultural mapping project "Cultural Cartographies of Lima" (Nodos Culturales Association 2021) in order to spotlight alternative research methods for territory analysis that relies on cultural information such as type of infrastructure, cultural manifestations promoted, mobilizing agendas and audiences involvement. Information regarding the characteristics and distribution of Lima's cultural spaces tell us about urban inequalities and the civil resilience in the city that provides interesting evidence for the territory comprehension and policy making.

From Research in the Lab to Pedagogical Practices in the EFL Classroom: The Case of Task-Based Pronunciation Teaching

Input and context-related factors identified by research as key success variables in L2 pronunciation development in immersion contexts play a very modest role in instructed foreign language (FL) learning environments. Scarce L2 exposure and use and L1-accented input make pronunciation learning extremely challenging. Current L2 speech learning models attribute difficulties in L2 speech acquisition to L2-to-L1 perceptual sound mappings guided by L1-based perception and poor phonological awareness and noticing of cross-language phonetic differences, which are typically not adequately addressed in instruction through pedagogic tasks. Explicit and incidental pronunciation teaching methods have been found effective at improving learners’ pronunciation, but ways to integrate them into communicative approaches to language teaching are still largely unexplored. Thus, language education practices currently lack a research-informed pedagogical approach that incorporates principles of L2 speech learning and task-based language teaching (TBLT) into pronunciation instruction. This article (1) presents an outline of new avenues for research and practice in L2 pronunciation instruction and (2) reports on the findings of an empirical study that implemented a task-based pronunciation teaching (TBPT) approach to teaching a difficult L2 vowel contrast through computerized collaborative map tasks that could be easily integrated into communicative FL classrooms.

Mapping Living Heritage in Kingston and Arthur’s Vale Historic Area, Norfolk Island: Routes, Customary Practices and Emotions

ABSTRACT In heritage management plans, maps have long been used to draw boundaries around regions and plot natural and cultural sites, trails and routes. Attention to participatory mapping and counter-mapping has increased alongside trends towards bottom-up approaches to heritage that recognise local communities as experts in their own heritage. This article reflects on participatory mapping activities undertaken on Norfolk Island, home to the UNESCO World Heritage listed Kingston and Arthur’s Vale Historic Area. Since the production of the first management plan in 1980, heritage management of Kingston has overwhelmingly privileged the preservation and interpretation of its convict heritage, with historically little attention paid to the island’s past Polynesian settlement and the ongoing Pitcairn settlement since 1856. The article presents findings from collaborative mapping exercises centred on routes, customary practices, and emotions undertaken with Pitcairn Settler descendants and others with long and deep connections to Norfolk Island. In particular, we focus on participants’ commentaries on Kingston’s heritage management. Our analysis highlights the importance of protecting heritage in ways that account for everyday and contemporary experiences, emotional resonances, and unbounded uses of this living heritage site.

Trends in the application of "omics" to Alzheimer's disease: a bibliometric and visualized study.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with an insidious onset. The widespread application of omics techniques in AD has attracted considerable attention. We aimed to make a comprehensive analysis of published omics articles on AD in order to determine the research profile and application trends of omics techniques in AD. This study utilizes bibliometric and visual methods including a map collaboration map, co-citations, and keywords to identify knowledge structures, hot topics, and research trends based on 6,828 publications from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. The results of this study showed that 5654 institutions from 91 countries published articles in this field. The USA, China, and the UK played a leading role in publishing numerous articles in relevant journals as well as prolific institutions and authors, respectively. This paper collects a large number of literatures on the application of AD omics technology from the WoSCC database and found the omics technology applied to AD is mainly based on genomics technology. The application of transcriptomics technology has shown an increasing trend in recent years, and the application of multi-omics technology will be the general trend in the future. The development status, frontier hotspots, and general trends of omics application technologies are reviewed. This article will provide intelligence support to researchers and institutions in the field of Alzheimer's omics research and applications from a practical perspective.

Is more always better? Unveiling the impact of contributor dynamics on collaborative mapping

AbstractOpen, collaborative mapping initiatives such as OpenStreetMap, a wiki-style map of the world, continually face concerns about the reliability and authority of its data. Based on harnessing the power of millions of volunteers globally, the data production process is decentralized and reflects a mosaic of individual contributors’ skills, motivations, and experiences. Linus’ Law, a widespread assumption within open-source communities, suggests that data quality increases with the number of contributors. In this paper, we evaluate Linus’ Law as applied to the co-production of volunteered geographic information using an agent-based model and examine the effects of knowledge level, variability, and prioritization on emergent production patterns and overall data quality. Our results demonstrate how diminishing returns and the experience of contributors limit Linus’ Law as an intrinsic assessment of data quality.

Emergence of National Nutrition Policy in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic: an analysis of collaborations between governmental and external actors

BackgroundIn most developing countries, addressing malnutrition involves a coalition of stakeholders that includes the government and international development partners. This study explores the evolution of the malnutrition actor coalition landscape before and after the emergence of the National Nutrition Policy in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) in 2008.MethodsA qualitative study was conducted based on the theory of coalition structuring. Twenty semi-structured interviews were performed with representatives of national and international organisations involved in addressing malnutrition in Lao PDR. The information obtained from the interviews was complemented by an analysis of relevant documents dating back to 1990. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. A thematic analysis was performed using NVivo 11 software and the diagrams of collaboration drawn by the participants were turned into a visual collaboration map using SocNetV software. We relied on various types of triangulation to increase the analysis's credibility, reliability, and confirmability.ResultsThe results showed that before the emergence of the National Nutrition Policy, three coalitions representing the health, agriculture, and education sectors coexisted. These colalitions worked largely in silos, although with some interactions when deemed necessary mainly by United Nations agencies. The emergence of the National Nutrition Policy provided the government with an effective political tool for coalescing the three coalitions into a unique coalition involving all major stakeholders in the nutrition field. All three forces that incite actors to collaborate inside a coalition according to the theory of coalition structuring (transactions, control, intangible factors) were mobilised in the creation of the single coalition.ConclusionsCombating malnutrition is a government priority in the Lao PDR. The current study showed that the National Nutrition Policy in Lao PDR has led to a significant evolution in the malnutrition coalition landscape, resulting in improved collaboration among stakeholders. This finding highlights the effectiveness of public policies in facilitating intersectoral activities to tackle complex problems, such as malnutrition.

Coping Capacity, Adaptive Capacity, and Transformative Capacity Preliminary Characterization in a “Multi-Hazard” Resilience Perspective: The Soccavo District Case Study (City of Naples, Italy)

An innovative methodology for characterizing Coping Capacity (CC), Adaptive Capacity (AC), and Transformative Capacity (TC) resilience determinants in a multi-hazard territorial context is applied to the Soccavo district (Naples, Italy), located in the Campi Flegrei caldera and exposed to volcanic eruptions, ground deformations (bradyseism), earthquakes, geomorphological processes (landslides, rock falls, erosion), and climate change-related hazards (heat waves, pluvial floods). The method allowed for the identification of the CC, AC, and TC parameters that can be easily converted into qualitative–quantitative variables. Among all parameters, the method focused on multi-stakeholder and civil society engagement, which is representative of TC and variable relating to the risk perception and awareness, the urban space perception, or the people’s ability to activate bottom-up urban transformation processes within resilient development pathways. Therefore, qualitative tools such as collaborative mapping and co-design processes, pertaining to the urban planning and design fields, and quantitative tools such as surveys, from the social science field, were harmonized and combined to collect and analyze data on these site-specific topics. Considering people’s priorities and needs, the study was useful to define shared sustainable and resilient solutions in order to holistically integrate Disaster Risk Reduction/Climate Change Adaptation urban planning and design approaches and simultaneously deliver social, environmental, and economic co-benefits.

Unified Perception and Collaborative Mapping for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles

Unified Perception and Collaborative Mapping for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles

VectorNet: collaborative mapping of arthropod disease vectors in Europe and surrounding areas since 2010.

BackgroundArthropod vectors such as ticks, mosquitoes, sandflies and biting midges are of public and veterinary health significance because of the pathogens they can transmit. Understanding their distributions is a key means of assessing risk. VectorNet maps their distribution in the EU and surrounding areas.AimWe aim to describe the methodology underlying VectorNet maps, encourage standardisation and evaluate output.Methods: Vector distribution and surveillance activity data have been collected since 2010 from a combination of literature searches, field-survey data by entomologist volunteers via a network facilitated for each participating country and expert validation. Data were collated by VectorNet members and extensively validated during data entry and mapping processes.ResultsAs of 2021, the VectorNet archive consisted of ca 475,000 records relating to >330 species. Maps for 42 species are routinely produced online at subnational administrative unit resolution. On VectorNet maps, there are relatively few areas where surveillance has been recorded but there are no distribution data. Comparison with other continental databases, namely the Global Biodiversity Information Facility and VectorBase show that VectorNet has 5-10 times as many records overall, although three species are better represented in the other databases. In addition, VectorNet maps show where species are absent. VectorNet's impact as assessed by citations (ca 60 per year) and web statistics (58,000 views) is substantial and its maps are widely used as reference material by professionals and the public.ConclusionVectorNet maps are the pre-eminent source of rigorously validated arthropod vector maps for Europe and its surrounding areas.

Development of an inclusive Mapping Application in a Co-Design Process

Abstract. Current mapping tools are often not inclusive and cannot be used by all stakeholders of spatial planning processes. In a co-design process involving scientific researchers and co-researchers with different physical disabilities, the accessibility of existing collaborative mapping tools was assessed. Based on the requirements for an inclusive mapping tool that were derived from the assessment an existing open-source software was adapted and extended to better meet these requirements. The resulting prototype of an inclusive mapping application for digital maptables was then evaluated by the group of co-researchers. The aim of this inclusive tool is to support collaborative planning processes.

Sense of Place, Imaginative Mobility, and Intercultural Awareness Through a Map Making Project in a Study Abroad Program

This article analyzes the perceptions of two undergraduate learners’ regarding the educational impact of a collaborative map making project in the context of a summer study abroad program in France, focused on language learning. Over the eight-week long program, students created a digital map with textual and visual annotations that helped them to reflect on their prior associations with a location or landmark in the host country, the associations that members of the host country had with this location, and finally their own experience after visiting the location. The objective of this project was to help students to experience a more nuanced sense of place, to articulate imaginative mobility, and, as a result, to develop an increased level of intercultural awareness. The participants’ reflections after the end of the program suggest that through the engagement with the tasks associated with the project students engaged in imaginative mobility and developed a more nuanced sense of place. In particular, the experience of eliciting perspectives from local informants had a positive impact on their development of intercultural awareness.

Feature-Based Occupancy Map-Merging for Collaborative SLAM.

One of the most frequently used approaches to represent collaborative mapping are probabilistic occupancy grid maps. These maps can be exchanged and integrated among robots to reduce the overall exploration time, which is the main advantage of the collaborative systems. Such map fusion requires solving the unknown initial correspondence problem. This article presents an effective feature-based map fusion approach that includes processing the spatial occupancy probabilities and detecting features based on locally adaptive nonlinear diffusion filtering. We also present a procedure to verify and accept the correct transformation to avoid ambiguous map merging. Further, a global grid fusion strategy based on the Bayesian inference, which is independent of the order of merging, is also provided. It is shown that the presented method is suitable for identifying geometrically consistent features across various mapping conditions, such as low overlapping and different grid resolutions. We also present the results based on hierarchical map fusion to merge six individual maps at once in order to constrict a consistent global map for SLAM.

Global trends in depression among patients living with HIV: A bibliometric analysis.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) related depression has seriously affected the quality of life and treatment outcomes of patients living with HIV (PLWH), which has become a hot topic in recent years. This study aims to discover the main keywords, predict frontier topics, and give meaningful suggestions for researchers by bibliometric analysis. Publications between 1999 and 2022 on depression in HIV/AIDS were searched in the Web of Science core collection. Microsoft Excel 2010 and VOSviewer were utilized to key contributors (e.g., authors, journals, institutions, and countries). VOSviewer and CiteSpace were used to analyze the knowledge evolution, collaborative maps, hot topics, and keywords trends in this field. In total, 8,190 publications were included in the final analysis. From 1999 to 2021, the number of published articles roughly presents a steadily increasing trend. The United States, South Africa, and the United Kingdom were three key contributing countries/regions to this field. University Calif San Francisco (United States), University Calif Los Angeles (United States), and Johns Hopkins University (United States) were three key contributing institutions. Safren, Steven A. was the most productive and highest cited author. AIDS Care was the top prolific journal. Antiretroviral therapy and adherence, men has sex with men, mental health, substance abuse, stigma, and Sub-Saharan Africa were the central topics regarding the depression-related research in HIV/AIDS. This bibliometric analysis reported the publication trend, major contributing countries/regions, institutions, authors, journals and mapped the knowledge network of depression-related research on HIV/AIDS. In this field, topics such as "adherence," "mental health," "substance abuse," "stigma," "men who have sex with men" and "South Africa" have attracted considerable attention.
