Preface. Transforming our World through Universal Design for Human Development. Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Universal Design (UD2022).
No full textFrom its first edition in 2012, the journey of the international conference on Universal Design has been the story of an expanding intellectual and practical movement. The aim of this movement is to put into practice the aspirations and goals of human-centred approaches to sustainable development founded on human rights, human development and equality for all, such as those encoded in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Convention on the rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). The 2022 edition, held in the historic town of Brescia, Italy, marks another landmark in the journey of the UD movement, as it crosses the alps to be hosted in southern Europe for the first time. Three Italian Universities – the Universities of Brescia, Trieste, and Ca’ Foscari University of Venice – have joined forces to make this edition possible, opening up a space for conversations between researchers, educators and policy-makers in a truly multi-disciplinary vision for UD. The title: Transforming our World for Human Development is intentionally aimed at realising broad sustainable development goals from a person-centred UD perspective by engaging delegates in a conversation across cultural, geographical, and disciplinary boundaries about what sustainable development really means

L’aggiunta nel progetto di restauro per l’accessibilità del patrimonio culturale/ The addition in conservation project for the accessibility to cultural heritage
Full text linkThe topic of addition represents of the main cornerstones of the debate on conservation. It also represents the comparison between different orientations, that see on the one hand its legitimacy with regards to the contemporary language and, on the other, its denial in favor of a more or less consistent material subtraction. With reference to the accessibility of cultural heritage, the strategy of the addition is more suited for both instances of protection and accessibility by proposing a new technological layer of the contemporaneity thereby also becoming an act of democracy. The essay addresses, also through same examples, the issue by analyzing it under the profile of conservation and technology understood as an united approach to the existence, aimed at the preservation and enhancement of heritage

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
