Introduction
No full textContemporary cities nowadays are a mix of technological development, art, and architecture
at the crossroads. In this edited book, a group of contributions address different topics related
to cities identities, cities shapes and information, heritage, arts, sustainability, vocabulary,
and public regulations. While a city is an orchestration of architecture, art, and urban planning;
its identity is, however, linked to human elements, geography, cultural, social, and economic
integrations.
Arts and architecture are among the factors that shape the history of civilizations and
allow ancient and modern cities to flourish. These factors do not stop only at buildings and
constructions but also include traditions, cultural beliefs, and communal arts. By cherishing
traditions and civilizations that left behind various architectural miracles, the way for future
generations to develop and preserve their identity could be paved.
This edited book is the result of the work of authors and editors collaborating on developing
a general understanding of the themes related to the city and its identity through art and
architecture. Several sections are focusing on the shaping of the city based on its morphological
formation and the cultural identities restructured in European, Middle Eastern, and
international contexts.
This volume brings together thirty contributions from the latest edition that was held at
the University of Pisa on December 5 and 6, 2022. The conference treated the themes of cities
shapes and development of vocabularies as well as topics related to visual arts and visualization
and its impact on human design of cities. The book is divided into four main parts:
Part One—Identifying Cities and Formation; Part Two—Shaping Cities and Formation; Part
Three—Heritage Arts: Sustainability, Identities and Public Regulations; and Part Four—
Development of Cities’ Vocabularies.
This book explores critical viewpoints on current urban developments and challenges
while examining the historical assemblages of cities, their postcolonial identities, and architectural
forms. Based on studies from all over the world, Italy, Turkey, Korea, and other
countries are mentioned in this book as case studies, whereas evidence from the interplay of
art, architecture, and urban planning is illustrated. The book also brings together experiences
from urban design with uncertainty and formulation of environmental and social sustainability
in different contexts. Meanwhile, it sheds light on the gentrification and preservation of
neighborhoods in old cities and towns. Nonetheless, some contributions pose the question of
arts as a way to revitalize historical contexts in some areas
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
Il disegno per l'infanzia al tempo della pandemia: l'esperienza del C.I. di Disegno, Arte e Musica di UniBg
No full textL’insegnamento del Disegno all’interno dei corsi di laurea in Scienze della Formazione Primaria sollecita nuove riflessioni del nostro settore al fine di una rimodulazione della didattica, non più rivolta alla formazione di ingegneri e architetti, ma di educatori. Figure professionali che dovranno impiegare lo strumento grafico non per la comprensione e la valorizzazione dell’architettura e del paesaggio, ma come mezzo fondamentale per la comunicazione dello spazio interiore del bambino. Una concezione allargata della disciplina, priva di un legame diretto con la rappresentazione del patrimonio architettonico e naturale, incardinata su una stretta relazione con le arti visive e le dottrine di storia dell’arte e scienze sociali. La crisi pandemica ci ha chiamato a nuove sfide costringendoci all’uso intensivo della didattica digitale ‘in remoto’; il saggio presenta delle riflessioni nate dall’esperienza maturata all’interno del corso di Disegno, Arte e Musica attivo presso l’Università degli Studi di Bergamo, evidenziando come il blended learning possa offrire, se impiegato nel modo adeguato, nuove opportunità per superare i limiti dell’educazione tradizionale in sola presenza.The teaching of Drawing within the degree courses in Primary Education calls for new reflections in our sector in order to reshape teaching, no longer aimed at training engineers and architects, but educators. Professional figures who will have to use the graphic tool, not for the understanding and enhancement of architecture and landscape, but as a fundamental means for communicating the child’s interior space. An extended conception of the discipline, devoid of a direct link with the representation of the architectural and natural heritage, hinged on a close relationship with the visual arts and the doctrines of art history and social sciences. The pandemic crisis has called us to new challenges by forcing us to the intensive use of ‘remote’ digital teaching; the essay presents reflections born from the experience gained within the course of Drawing, Art and Music active at the University of Bergamo, highlighting how blended learning can offer, if used in an appropriate way, new opportunities to overcome the limits of traditional education in presence only
Rip, Model & Learn: Interdisciplinary dialogues on 3D Survey and Modelling for Architecture and Cultural Heritage
Full text linkVariations 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
