Metabolism of the Anthroposphere : Analysis, Evaluation, Design
An overview of the cultural evolution of material flows and stocks with an emphasis on the design of metabolic processes in urban systems. Over the last several thousand years of human life on Earth, agricultural settlements became urban cores, and these regional settlements became tightly connected through infrastructures transporting people, materials, and information.This global network of urban systems, including ecosystems, is the anthroposphere; the physical flows and stocks of matter and energy within it form its metabolism.This book offers an overview of the metabolism of the anthroposphere, with an emphasis on the design of metabolic systems.It takes a cultural historical perspective, supported with methodology from the natural sciences and engineering.The book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners in the fields of regional development, environmental protection, and material management.It will also be a resource for undergraduate and graduate students in industrial ecology, environmental engineering, and resource management. The authors describe the characteristics of material stocks and flows of human settlements in space and time; introduce the method of material flow analysis (MFA) for metabolic studies; analyze regional metabolism and the material systems generated by basic activities; and offer four case studies of optimal metabolic system design: phosphorus management, urban mining, waste management, and mobility. This second edition of an extremely influential book has been substantially revised and greatly expanded.Its new emphasis on design and resource utilization reflects recent debates and scholarship on sustainable development and climate change.

Bibliometrics and Research Evaluation : Uses and Abuses
Why bibliometrics is useful for understanding the global dynamics of science but generate perverse effects when applied inappropriately in research evaluation and university rankings. The research evaluation market is booming. "Ranking," "metrics," "h-index," and "impact factors" are reigning buzzwords.Government and research administrators want to evaluate everything-teachers, professors, training programs, universities-using quantitative indicators.Among the tools used to measure "research excellence," bibliometrics-aggregate data on publications and citations-has become dominant.Bibliometrics is hailed as an "objective" measure of research quality, a quantitative measure more useful than "subjective" and intuitive evaluation methods such as peer review that have been used since scientific papers were first published in the seventeenth century.In this book, Yves Gingras offers a spirited argument against an unquestioning reliance on bibliometrics as an indicator of research quality.Gingras shows that bibliometric rankings have no real scientific validity, rarely measuring what they pretend to. Although the study of publication and citation patterns, at the proper scales, can yield insights on the global dynamics of science over time, ill-defined quantitative indicators often generate perverse and unintended effects on the direction of research.Moreover, abuse of bibliometrics occurs when data is manipulated to boost rankings.Gingras looks at the politics of evaluation and argues that using numbers can be a way to control scientists and diminish their autonomy in the evaluation process.Proposing precise criteria for establishing the validity of indicators at a given scale of analysis, Gingras questions why universities are so eager to let invalid indicators influence their research strategy.

What is an objective evaluation and what is a subjective evaluation?
An objective evaluation is a measurement or assessment that is based on observable, measurable, and verifiable evidence. It is not influenced by personal feelings, interpretations, or biases. A subjective evaluation, on the other hand, is based on personal opinions, interpretations, and feelings. It is influenced by individual perspectives and can vary from person to person. Objective evaluations are often used in scientific research, performance appraisals, and standardized testing, while subjective evaluations are common in art, literature, and personal experiences.

Isn't the evaluation unfair?
The fairness of an evaluation depends on the criteria and process used to assess the subject. If the evaluation is based on clear, objective criteria and conducted in a transparent and unbiased manner, then it can be considered fair. However, if the evaluation is influenced by personal biases, subjective opinions, or inconsistent standards, then it may be deemed unfair. It is important to ensure that evaluations are conducted with integrity and fairness to accurately assess the subject's performance or qualities.

How to create an evaluation?
To create an evaluation, start by defining the purpose and objectives of the evaluation. Determine the criteria and methods that will be used to assess the subject or program being evaluated. Develop a plan that outlines the timeline, data collection methods, analysis techniques, and reporting format. Finally, implement the evaluation plan, collect data, analyze the results, and present findings with recommendations for improvement.

Beyond the Tyranny of Testing : Relational Evaluation in Education
Measurement-based assessment has dominated our educational systems at the expense of the learning and the well-being of students and teachers.In this book, Gergen and Gill propose a radical alternative to this broken system, which is based instead on an inspirational conception of schools as sites of collective meaning-making and a relational orientation to evaluation.The authors acknowledge that it is within the process of relating that the world comes to be meaningful for us, and equally, learning and well-being are embedded in relational process, which testing and grades undermine.Providing detailed illustrations using cases from pioneering schools around the globe at both the primary and secondary level, this book demonstrates how a relational orientation to evaluation in education can enhance learning processes, foster students' engagement, vitalize relationships, and elevate the evaluation of teaching and the school as a whole.Featuring collaborative learning, dialogic pedagogy, and flexible curricula, relational evaluation truly speaks to the demands of a rapidly changing world.
