The analysis of research paper collections is an interesting topic that can give insights on whether a research area is stalled in the same problems, or there is a great amount of novelty every year. Previous research has addressed similar tasks by the analysis of keywords or reference lists, with different degrees of human intervention. In this paper, we demonstrate how, with the use of Normalized Relative Compression, together with a set of automated data-processing tasks, we can successfully visually compare research articles and document collections. We also achieve very similar results with Normalized Conditional Compression that can be applied with a regular compressor. With our approach, we can group papers of different disciplines, analyze how a conference evolves throughout the different editions, or how the profile of a researcher changes through the time. We provide a set of tests that validate our technique, and show that it behaves better for these tasks than other techniques previously proposed.

The purpose of cartographic generalization is to represent a particular situation adapted to the needs of its users, with adequate legibility of the real situation and its perceptional congruity with the representation. Interesting are those situations which to some degree vary from the real situation in nature. This is purposeful generalization where attention is directed towards particular, thematically valuable objects and their details. Difficulties in accomplishment of the cartographic generalization objectives are reflected in the basic approach. Some cartographers encourage the idea of complete prevalence of subjective approach to the process, yet accepting partial solutions that enable automated data processing of certain chart elements. Others stand for objectifying of all procedures, or schematic solving of all issues in the process, which will gradually lead up to the level where it could be termed automated. The latter is considered more acceptable by the authors of this paper, implying the necessary human intervention in the generalization, yet not to determine the course of the process, but just to act as a mediator.

Purpose For sustaining a competitive advantage in the integrated world economy, it has become imperative for family firms to internationalise their operations in overseas markets. However, despite the growing set of literature, results are still inconclusive with respect to family firms’ internationalisation. Thus, this study aims to address this gap by systematically reviewing 142 articles (1991–2019) to help researchers in identifying and unfolding the unexplored themes in the underlying area. Design/methodology/approach For systematically reviewing articles, the study uses a three-step methodology following PRISMA guidelines, bibliometric analysis and thematic analysis. Descriptive statistics of 142 research articles are obtained through bibliometric analysis while thematic analysis is carried out to create themes or clusters of various factors relating to family firms’ internationalisation. Findings The current review uncovers the evolving trends in the research streams, most productive authors, top journals and articles, co-citation analysis, as well as the major themes surrounding the family firms’ internationalisation literature. Results from bibliometric analysis indicate that family firms’ internationalisation is an upcoming research area. Also, the review indicates an opportunity for scholars from developing nations to make significant contributions in the underlying research stream. Research limitations/implications Results from bibliometric and thematic analysis will help academicians and researchers in accumulating a holistic understanding relating to family firms’ internationalisation and understanding the upcoming trends in family firms’ research, thereby guiding the future research scope. Also, it will assist the family firms’ leaders and managers in understanding the important dynamics in overseas markets and various factors to be considered while planning their internationalisation. Originality/value Undertaking a systematic literature review presents readers with a state-of-the-art understanding of the underlying research topic. To the best of the knowledge, to date, the study is the first to conduct the review of literature through bibliometric analysis with the help of R Studio software in the field of family firms’ internationalisation. Also, the study is the first to review more than 100 research articles in the underlying area. Finally, the study proposes a comprehensive framework integrating the major themes and facets relating to family firms’ internationalisation.

This study aims to utilize GNSS for meteorology in Indonesia. With the "goGPS" software, the zenith troposphere delay (ZTD) value is estimated. Calculations in rainy conditions, the ZTD value is converted into a water vapor value (PWV). The research area for the phenomenon of heavy rain occurred at the end of 2019 in Jakarta and its surroundings, which caused flooding on January 1, 2020. According to the Geophysical Meteorology and Climatology Agency (BMKG), the flood's primary cause was high rainfall. Meanwhile, the rainfall at Taman Mini and Jatiasih stations was 335 mm/day and 260 mm/day, respectively. We get an interesting pattern of PWV values for this rain phenomenon. GNSS data processing, the PWV value at five GNSS stations around Jakarta, shows the same pattern even though the average distance between GNSS stations is ~ 30 km. The PWV value appears to increase at noon on December 30, 2019, and the peak occurs in the early hours of December 31, 2019. The PWV value suddenly decreases at noon on January 1, 2020. Next, the PWV value increases again but not as high as at the previous peak. Since January 2, 2020, the PWV value has decreased and remained almost constant until January 4, 2020. In that period, there were two events that the PWV value increased. The PWV value at the first peak is ~ 70 mm, and at the second peak ~ 65 mm. The most significant increase in PWV value was recorded at CJKT stations.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> With the development of geographic information technology, the way to get geographical information is constantly, and the data of space-time is exploding, and more and more scholars have started to develop a field of data processing and space and time analysis. In this, the traditional data visualization technology is high in popularity and simple and easy to understand, through simple pie chart and histogram, which can reveal and analyze the characteristics of the data itself, but still cannot combine with the map better to display the hidden time and space information to exert its application value. How to fully explore the spatiotemporal information contained in massive data and accurately explore the spatial distribution and variation rules of geographical things and phenomena is a key research problem at present. Based on this, this paper designed and constructed a universal thematic data visual analysis system that supports the full functions of data warehousing, data management, data analysis and data visualization. In this paper, Weifang city is taken as the research area, starting from the aspects of rainfall interpolation analysis and population comprehensive analysis of Weifang, etc., the author realizes the fast and efficient display under the big data set, and fully displays the characteristics of spatial and temporal data through the visualization effect of thematic data. At the same time, Cassandra distributed database is adopted in this research, which can also store, manage and analyze big data. To a certain extent, it reduces the pressure of front-end map drawing, and has good query analysis efficiency and fast processing ability.</p>

Структура дискретного временного ряда тесно связана со свойствами процесса, который он описывает. В рамках дискретного математического анализа имеется несколько подходов к анализу структуры дискретных рядов: геометрические меры, динамические коридоры и концепция тренда. Для дискретного временного ряда, заданного в общем случае на нерегулярной сетке, с характером тренда тесным образом связана регрессионная производная: области ее положительного (отрицательного) значения соответствуют возрастающим (убывающим) трендам, а границы между ними - экстремумам. В настоящей работе исследуются возможности применения методов дискретного математического анализа для разработки процедуры регистрации вступления волны цунами по оперативным данным измерения уровня моря. The research addresses the possibility of application of the methods of discrete mathematical analysis to develop a procedure for recording tsunami wave arrival on the base of the operational data for measuring sea level. As a basis for constructing a tsunami wave registration procedure, this research uses a schematization of the actions of the oceanographer on-duty during visual analysis of the sea level records. The task of automatic registration of a tsunami wave by sea level recording arises in various situations of information support of the oceanographer on duty. Requirements for the processing of sea level records depend on the situation. The structure of a discrete time series is closely related to the properties of the described process. As part of the discrete mathematical analysis, there are several approaches to the analysis of the structure of discrete series: geometric measures, dynamic corridors and the trend concept. For a discrete time series, given in the general case on an irregular grid, the regression derivative is closely related to the nature of the trend: the areas of its positive (negative) values correspond to the increasing (decreasing) trends, and the boundaries between them are extremes. The content of this research is a presentation of data processing techniques using regression derivatives, constructing data processing procedures based on derivatives, as well as a demonstration of their applicability to the problem of recording tsunami wave arrival according to the measuring of sea level.
