I Banchetti Rinascimentali come una Forma di Relazioni Internazionali
No full textI banchetti rinascimentali italiani hanno un\u27importanza fondamentale nella storia della diplomazia e delle relazioni internazionali. I banchetti avevano la possibilità di influenzare la politica con i discorsi tra nobili e i diplomatici. I banchetti rinascimentali procuravano la scenografia per gli scambi culturali, economici, e politici. I tipi di cibi e l\u27allestimento della tavola dimostrano il potere di una governanta o una monarca di una regione. Oltre a i banchetti formali, i nobili e i diplomatici avevano anche dei pasti più informali per discutere la politica in un modo meno formale. Una nuova pratica che emerge durante il Rinascimento è l’uso degli ambasciatori e le loro case come uno strumento importante per la diplomazia. I banchetti rinascimentali erano più delle occasioni celebrative, ma erano strumenti molto importanti per la diplomazia e le relazioni internazionali, dove si discute la politica e le alleanze tra i diversi stati europei.https://digital.sandiego.edu/ital-394/1010/thumbnail.jp
Pratiche intergenerazionali di formazione nelle organizzazioni
No full textStarting from studies in the Pedagogy of Work and Organizations, which can be integrated with research on active ageing, this paper aims to understand intergenerational training practices within organizations. To investigate such practices, an Information and Communications Technology organization was analysed. The study, conducted between 2021 and 2023, examines intergenerational practices in the workplace through document analysis and semi-structured interviews. The data, coded through thematic analysis, show that in this context it is important to support training pathways that: a) value and formalize the situated knowledge of senior workers, as they know and recognize organisational practices; b) enhance intergenerational differences within the company through training tools; and c) strengthen the social and professional entrepreneurial spirit within the professional community
Tradition and innovation: ecologies of sustainable learning in contemporary craft work
No full textCraft work is undergoing significant transformations related to integrating emerging technologies, affecting professional practices, knowledge transmission and the sustainability of workplaces. These changes require new organizational structures and skills capable of combining digital innovation and tradition. In an evolving labor market characterized by challenges to the traditional knowledge transmission between master craftsmen and apprentices, the paper analyzes the impact of technologies on craft practices and situated learning within communities of practice.
This analysis is grounded in a narrative literature review informed by a critical and
interpretive methodological approach. The focus is on creating sustainable learning ecologies that balance technological innovation, social inclusion and cultural enhancement. The analysis highlights the need to develop learning environments that support the adaptation of traditional skills to contemporary challenges. In conclusion, it stresses the importance of maintaining a balance among technology, learning and sustainability to ensure the continuity and evolution of craft work
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Square Dancing with the Stars to Enhance Dynamic Hirschman Linkages?
No full textIn this Presidential Address, the author takes the reader on a reconnaissance of his life and time as a regional scientist. He points out scenery he found scintillating along the way, hoping that some may pick up the banner and chew on a few of the ideas for a while. He suggests a revisit to Albert O. Hirschman’s notion of key sectors and more empirical analysis related to Marcus Berliant’s and Masahisa Fujita’s notion of knowledge creation and transfer.Presidential Address, San Antonio, Texas, March 29, 2014 (53rd Meetings of the Southern Regional Science Association
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
