Influence of water table, irrigation and rootstock on transpiration rate and fruit growth of peach trees
No full textIn a peach orchard (cv. Maria Aurelia) grafted on seedling and GF677, transpiration and absolute fruits growth rate were tested as indexes of temporary water stresses with different water table levels and irrigation regimes. The treatments tested were: shallow and deep water table (85 cm and 225 cm), irrigation with 100% ETe and no irrigation at all. A correlation between transpiration rate and water table levels was not found, although different patterns were obtained for different rootstock and irrigation regimes. Differences in the absolute growth rate were found between the irrigation regimes at different water table level
The valorisation of literary heritage for sustainable tourism
No full textIl 50° anniversario della Convenzione sul patrimonio mondiale è un’occasione per analizzare come il patrimo-nio letterario viene protetto e promosso nel contesto delle iniziative dell’Organizzazione delle Nazioni Unite per l’educazione, la scienza e la cultura (UNESCO). Inoltre, questo articolo fornisce una categorizzazione delle diverse tipologie di destinazioni letterarie individuate nella letteratura e collega la valorizzazione del patrimonio letterario con la rigenerazione delle aree rurali attraverso il caso studio illustrativo di Sarmede, il paese delle fiabe situato in provincia di Treviso (Italia).The 50th anniversary of the World heritage convention is an occasion to analyse how literary heritage is pro-tected and promoted in the context of United Nations Educational, scientific and cultural organization’s (UNESCO) initiatives.

La Basilica di San Francesco ad Assisi Patrimonio mondiale dell’Umanità tra pellegrinaggio e turismo culturale
No full textI siti UNESCO di carattere religioso ispirano al viaggio milioni di turisti ogni anno, credenti e non, distinguendosi per il complesso rapporto che si viene a creare tra la componente sacra e gli aspetti secolari della visita a questi luoghi. L’analisi della Basilica di San Francesco ad Assisi costituisce un caso particolarmente significativo nel contesto dei pellegrinaggi e del turismo culturale. Inscritta nella lista dei siti UNESCO nel 2000 non solo per la sua centralità nel culto, ma anche per il messaggio di pace insito nella spiritualità francescana, la Basilica è ugualmente riconosciuta per l’altissimo valore delle testimonianze storico-artistiche presenti al suo interno. La Basilica e il Sacro Convento sono inserite in un paesaggio culturale, strettamente legato allo spazio urbano e a quello naturale circostante, che riflette il rapporto tra uomo e natura predicato da san Francesco. Anche in virtù di questo legame, nel 2011 Assisi è stata sede della fondazione del Green Pilgrimage Network, con l’obiettivo di incoraggiare il pellegrinaggio come modalità di turismo sostenibile.UNESCO sites of a religious interest inspire the travel of millions of tourists each year, believers and nonbelievers alike, showing a complex relationship between the sacred component and the secular aspects of visiting these destinations. The analysis of the Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi constitutes a significant case study in the context of pilgrimages and cultural tourism. Inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000 not only for its centrality in worship, but also for the message of peace inherent in Franciscan spirituality, the Basilica is recognised for the very high value of its historical-artistic testimonies as well. The Basilica and the Sacro Convento are part of a cultural landscape, closely linked to the surrounding urban and natural space, which reflects the relationship between man and nature preached by Saint Francis. Due to this bond, in 2011 Assisi was the site of the foundation of the Green Pilgrimage Network, with the aim of encouraging pilgrimage as a sustainable form of tourism
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
Processi partecipativi per lo sviluppo del turismo culturale sostenibile. Il caso del Progetto TexTour
No full textIl turismo culturale può sostenere uno sviluppo inclusivo e sostenibile ma è necessario garantire un processo
partecipativo che includa i quattro pilastri della sostenibilità, vale a dire la sostenibilità economica, culturale,
ambientale e sociale. Tuttavia, manca ancora una metodologia completa che affronti tutti gli aspetti della pianificazione sostenibile attraverso la partecipazione inclusiva e diversificata delle comunità locali in ogni fase del
processo. Questo contributo presenta una metodologia partecipativa specifica per il turismo culturale sviluppata
e testata in otto casi di studio in tutta Europa come parte del progetto TExTOUR. La metodologia e gli strumenti presentati si basano su tre passaggi replicabili che mirano a migliorare il turismo culturale in modo
sostenibile, diversificato, inclusivo e innovativ
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
