Università e aziende a confronto. Interviste
No full textL'Università presta un'attenzione sempre maggiore alle esigenze e alle aspettative del mondo aziendale visto che ha il compito difficile e delicato di formare persone che siano competenti e competitive, che sappiano interagire e integrarsi agevolmente. Per mettere a fuoco queste problematiche vengono intervistati alcuni dirigenti di azienda del territorio forlivese che operano in settori diversi, risultando così rappresentativi di un'ampia gamma di esigenze del mondo produttivo. Dalle interviste emerge la necessità di associare alle conoscenze linguistiche non solo competenze informatiche di base, ma anche conoscenze pratiche delle dinamiche del mondo degli affari. Infatti, viene posta particolare enfasi sulla conoscenza della prassi aziendale a diversi livelli, dal processo decisionale alla gestione dei rapporti con la clientela e altri interlocutori fino allo svolgimento di compiti banali, come parlare al telefono e stendere lettere commerciali. Inoltre, per inserirsi nel mercato del lavoro, risulta determinante conoscere le nuove tecnologie e saper lavorare in gruppo, nonché dimostrare equilibrio, flessibilità e buona comunicativa. Su alcuni punti l'Università di Bologna riceve parole di encomio - lo dimostra il lusinghiero giudizio espresso sulle conoscenze linguistiche dei neolaureati; su altri può migliorare, ad esempio fornendo agli studenti corsi di economia aziendale; su altri ancora, più pertinenti al profilo psicologico, può fare meno: è questione di esperienza. Gli stage e le internship possono però aiutare in tal senso. Va quindi potenziata la cooperazione diretta e concreta anche nella fase di formazione per colmare le lacune generalmente riscontrate al momento dell'assunzione. L'adesione delle aziende intervistate al Progetto "Linguaggi e attività produttive" avviato dalla sede forlivese dell'Università di Bologna testimonia, oltre alla volontà di investire nelle risorse umane, l'effettiva necessità di estendere una collaborazione che ha avuto immediate ripercussioni positive sulla formazione degli studenti coinvolti
Synonymy and variation in digital terrestrial television: Is Italian at risk?
No full textThis article presents the results of a bilingual (French-Italian) corpus-based terminological study on the language of digital terrestrial television (DVB_T). The research sets out to describe the main features of this specialized language from a socio-terminological perspective by assessing the role played by English and by investigating synonymy and variation within the domain-specific discourse in the two countries. The analysis revealed that both Italian and French DVT-B terminologies include a large number of English borrowings and are marked by a proliferation of synonyms and variants, probably for lack of standardization in this new developing domain. The existence of equivalences among synonymic forms in the two languages is used, to suggest that a new generation of terminological databases should be developed which allow for cross-linguistic correspondences to be established beyond the main-term level
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Terminologia e mediazione linguistica: approcci e metodi a confronto
No full textQuesto numero monografico della rivista mediAzioni raccoglie alcuni dei contributi presentati al convegno "Terminologia e mediazione linguistica: approcci e metodi a confronto" (Bertinoro, Forlì, 7-8 giugno 2007), volto a favorire la discussione e lo scambio di informazioni nell'ambito della ricerca terminologica e terminografica sia in quanto disciplina a sé, sia in relazione a diverse forme di documentazione e di mediazione linguistica – traduzione specialistica e localizzazione in particolare
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
