Progetto Amaltea. Percezione e conoscenza della Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Gorizia
Il progetto Amaltea è una indagine sulle percezione e i livelli di conoscenza della Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Gorizia da parte della popolazione del territorio isontino, con particolare riguardo alla funzione erogativa e dei servizi ad essa dedicati. L’indagine ha interessato due categorie di soggetti: i richiedenti diretti, cioè le persone che attraverso gli enti o le associazioni si erano già rivolte alla Fondazione per ottenere contributi e i richiedenti potenziali, cioè coloro che insistono nell’ambito territoriale al quale l’Istituzione si rivolge. Nel primo caso si è potuto ottenere informazioni importanti a riscontro dell’efficienza dei servizi della Fondazione, nel secondo caso si è voluto verificare fra la popolazione provinciale il livello di conoscenza delle Fondazioni in generale, e della Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Gorizia in particolare
Interference processes in visual and olfactory stimulations
The aim of this work was to verify whether two congruent inputs (simultaneous administration of one odor and the corresponding name) increase recall or, on the contrary, whether recall becomes worse when there is no coincidence between the two simultaneous stimuli (verbal and olfactory). The data show no significant difference among the experimental conditions. It seems then possible to conclude that a ‘visual dominance’ effect takes place vis-á-vis the olfactory mode. </jats:p
Visual dominance in olfactory memory
The object of the present study was to verify the emergence of a ‘visual dominance’ effect in memory tests involving different sensory modes (sight and smell), brought about the preattentive mechanisms which select the visual sensory mode regardless of the recall task. </jats:p
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
“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
We 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
