Italy from 1939
Full text linkOver the seven decades considered in the chapter, the Italian wine industry has changed dramatically, from a dispersed production system mainly oriented to self- consumption of supply and the local market with low- value wines, to a modern industry able to satisfy an increasingly demanding domestic supply and very competitive international markets with a wide range of wines. The current situation is the result of a long process driven by many factors, acting inside and outside the sector, and mainly national and EU policies and changing domestic and international demand.
The evolution of the sector happened in four different phases, marked by different drivers and characteristics. Each period is described focusing on grape growing, wine making, domestic consumption, exports and policies affecting the industry

Alcide De Gasperi e Gorizia. L'Italia e le terre di frontiera negli Archivi dei Padri della Repubblica
No full textAlcide De Gasperi e Gorizia. L’Italia e le terre di frontiera negli Archivi dei Padri della Repubblica, frutto della sinergia tra Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Gorizia e Fondazione De Gasperi, indaga il rapporto che la città di Gorizia ha intrattenuto con i vertici politici della neonata Repubblica italiana nelle delicate fasi di definizione del confine orientale italiano nel secondo dopoguerra. Dalla documentazione reperta presso i fondi personali di Alcide De Gasperi, Pietro Nenni, Palmiro Togliatti, Angelo Culot e presso l’Archivio della Democrazia Cristiana di Gorizia, l’Archivio Diocesano di Gorizia e l’Archivio storico della Camera dei Deputati emerge con chiarezza come Gorizia italiana fu il risultato della concomitanza di una molteplicità di fattori, comprendenti rivendicazioni etniche e interessi di carattere politico ed economico. Il presente volume propone un’antologia ragionata di fonti, a cui la parte introduttiva puntualmente rimanda, offrendo una indispensabile contestualizzazione storica dei singoli documenti
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Determinants of Farmers’ Participation in AFNs
No full textIn this chapter Corsi, Novelli, and Pettenati analyse the reasons that lead farmers to adopt direct selling or more generally AFNs, distinguishing between on-farm and off-farm direct sales. The issue is discussed first from a theoretical perspective. Next, empirical evidence is presented, using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Using census data, the determinants of the choice to sell directly on-farm and off-farm are analysed on the basis of farm structural characteristics, farmers’ personal characteristics, and geographical explanatory variables. Then the results of an in-depth qualitative analysis of individual motivations carried out with a focus group of local producers are presented. The results highlight the technical constraints to the adoption of the direct chains as well as the subjective motivations, both monetary and non-monetary
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
