Geomatics science applied to cartographic heritage and archive sources: a new way to explore the XIX century Gregorian Cadastre of Bologna (Italy), an ante-litteram 3D GIS
No full textRegeneration of cartographic heritage in a digital form offers a new opportunity of preserving and studying historical cartography. Modern digital techniques coming from Geomatics science help in metric analysis of ancient maps and, when integrated with the contribution from other disciplines, can allow specific studies otherwise unachievable. The study subject is the first establishment urban map of the nineteenth century Gregorian Cadastre of Bologna, today kept at the local State Archives. The uniqueness of this cadastral cartography is to be composed by ground-floor maps and separate maps for the single floors above and below; written documentation on land lots completes the cadastre. In the study, digital tools deriving from the integration of geomatic techniques (in particular georeferencing, GIS, 3D modelling) and archive skills are used to deeply analyze this peculiar cadastre, once converted in a digital form and metrically processed. For some test areas, a comparative consultation of the graphical information stored in the georeferenced maps, and the written one in the related cadastral registers is performed; this allows rigorous 3D digital reconstructions of the cadastral properties, and a new thematic visualization. This modern kind of representation turns to be a powerful and expressive tool to deeply analyze the complex nineteenth century arrangement of the city, highlighting some interesting aspects which otherwise would remain invisible. Furthermore, the tool allows users to get information about the Gregorian Cadastre in a simpler way than searching the original documents; this way, moreover, avoiding any damage of the delicate ancient maps
Lungo la via Emilia dalla Cicogna al Savena: un percorso tra le mappe e i registri del catasto Gregoriano (1813-1835)
No full textQuesto contributo nasce come stralcio di una ricognizione effettuata sulle mappe e i registri del catasto Gregoriano, conservati presso l’Archivio di Stato di Bologna, per elaborare il percorso trekking La via Emilia oggi da San Lazzaro di Savena a Borgo Panigale: un esempio di palinsesto urbano, organizzato nell’ambito della decima edizione della Festa internazionale della storia dalla Sezione regionale Emilia-Romagna dell’Associazione Trekking Italia e dall’Archivio di Stato
Tra storia e memoria: la costituzione della Rete regionale archivi Udi Emilia-Romagna e il ruolo della Soprintendenza archivistica per l’Emilia-Romagna
Full text linkLa costituzione del Coordinamento regionale per la valorizzazione degli archivi dell’Udi, avvenuta
nel 1988, consentì ai Gruppi Archivio dell’Emilia-Romagna di accedere ad appositi finanziamenti
e quindi di affidare incarichi di ordinamento e inventariazione dei propri fondi ad archiviste professioniste. Al confronto di carattere metodologico che ne seguì contribuì anche la Soprintendenza
archivistica per l’Emilia-Romagna, che provvide negli stessi anni a effettuare le prime dichiarazioni
di interesse culturale di archivi Udi locali.The constitution of the Regional Coordination for the valorisation of the Udi archives, which took place in 1988,
allowed the Archive Groups of Emilia-Romagna to access specific funding and therefore to commission professional archivists to organise and catalogue their archives. The Soprintendenza archivistica per l’Emilia-Romagna also contributed to the methodological comparison that followed, which in the same years made the first
declarations of cultural interest of local Udi archives
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
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
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
