Il ruolo della revisione nell'internazionalizzazione delle imprese: il caso della CMA macchine agricole.
No full textThis dissertation has been written within the framework of the Language Toolkit project, a collaboration between companies in the Forlì area and the course in Specialized Translation of the University of Bologna. The project aims to bring together the students' skills in translation, localization and revision with the companies' needs for internationalization. This work concerns the revision of the international website of CMA, a company that produces and sells agricultural machinery. The site, localized in English from its Italian version, has been revised not only in terms of language, but also in terms of terminology consistency and adequacy to the genre of the website. The process was guided not only by the theoretical principles of revision, localization and internationalization, but also of writing for the web and controlled authoring. This theoretical background has been implemented in the analysis both of the communicative context, carried out in collaboration with the company, and in that of the linguistic content, which has been designed as revision of samples. The latter made it possible to highlight the shortcomings of the text and to establish the intervention methodologies in agreement with the CMA itself. The constant dialogue with the company was also fundamental in order to devise a tailored strategy to correct the errors that had not been highlighted by the analysis of the samples. The results are a more consistent use of terminology, and a website that meets the expectations and habits of web users, a feature that increases the satisfaction of potential customers and improves the image of the company. The glossary and the controlled writing rules created during the revision process can be used both to harmonize the paper materials of the company with the new website, and to revise its Italian version, as it is lacking terminological consistency. In the past, this fault has caused problems for both the employees and the customers of the CMA
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
Talìami mentri ciusciu l’amuri e ‘u riconsignu ô paraddisu. L’Otello di Luigi Lo Cascio
No full textL’Otello di Luigi Lo Cascio è stato concepito nella volontà di mettere in luce come non sia Otello bensì Desdemona la straniera del dramma. Il mio lavoro rileva in primo luogo in che modo l’autore sia riuscito a raggiungere il suo obiettivo utilizzando diversi espedienti: esplicitare la scelta di riportare la vicenda raccontando di un generale bianco, per non suscitare pregiudizi avversi ad una corretta interpretazione; isolare linguisticamente Desdemona, unica parlante italiana in un universo di voci palermitane, per enfatizzare la solitudine della donna che, circondata da soli uomini, non ha possibilità di essere vista e compresa per quello che è, in quanto viene interpretata attraverso immagini stereotipate; inserire un narratore interno che guidi gli spettatori attraverso il ragionamento dell’autore. In secondo luogo, il mio elaborato confronta l’opera di Lo Cascio con quella di Shakespeare dimostrando come già all’interno di quest’ultima fossero presenti tutti gli elementi necessari per dare all’Otello l’interpretazione che ne dà l’autore palermitano: la perfetta integrazione di Otello nella società veneziana, che esclude il comune ricorso alle diverse culture dei coniugi per giustificare il comportamento violento del Moro; la visione idealizzata della figura femminile, che impedisce ai personaggi maschili di vedere la realtà; l’impossibilità di conciliare la donna reale con quella immaginata, vero movente dell’assassinio di Desdemona
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
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
