Un cratere a figure rosse da Irsina: proposte di lettura
No full textA Red-figure Calyx-krater from Irsina : Context and Interpretation Irsina, located in the upper valley of the river Bradano, about thirty kilometres north-west of Matera, is one of the most important (although little-known) Peuketian settlements west of the Premurgian Depression. The progressive expansion of the modern city has resulted in the almost complete obliteration of the archaeological evidence, known to us mainly as a result of occasional discoveries and unsystematic excavations undertaken in the northern area of the modern town (Rione Cappuccini and Rione Piano La Croce), the location of a vast necropolis. Among the finds, ranging in date from the Archaic to the Hellenistic periods, some red-figure kraters stand out, including an Attic calyx-krater by the Altamura Painter (Rione Cappuccini), and an Apulian vessel of the same type showing the liberation of Andromeda by the Darius Painter (Piano La Croce). Further information has been provided by a recent study focusing on a Metapontine bell-krater with a representation of Dionysos found in 1927 in Piano La Croce (Bottini 2016). This paper discusses the equally complex history and interpretation of a calyx-krater by the Dolon Painter showing Bellerophon fighting the Chimaera, which was found in the same area. The piece is now kept in the Irsina Museum, which also houses the collection of Michele Janora, an important local scholar who, at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, played a prominent role in the protection of antiquities found in this part of inland Basilicata

EXPERIMENTAL USE OF 3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF DEVICES AS INTEGRATION OF OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY INTERVENTION WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS PATIENTS (RA)
No full textBackground: RA is a chronic inflammatory disease that can interfere with the ability to perform activities of daily living. The adoption of aid devices allows to maintain and/or improve employment performance, reducing the pain preventing further joint damage. However, it is known that the abandonment rate of such devices is quite high, resulting in failure of the rehabilitation project, and waste of resources. The reasons people give for abandoning support technology are that they have not been involved in the process of provision, and that the devices do not have the intended effect (1).
Objectives: technology may allow customization of 3D printing devices agreed together with patients, utilizing materials which are cheap, fast and easily adjustable.
Methods: The study was organized into the following phases: recruitment of RA patients for the “joint protection laboratories”; sessions of the “joint protection laboratories”; recruitment of patients for the identification of needs for customized aid devices; co-design of customized aid devices; printing of customized aid devices; delivery of customized aid devices; detection using customized aid devices.
We have collected a list of needs to be able to develop such customized aid devices at the end of a course to educate on joint protection covering: ergonomic gestures, management of fatigue and pain, environmental adaptations and aid devices.
18 patients (17 women and 1 man), age between 30 and 75 years old, were organized into small groups for the “joint protection laboratories”. 9 patients expressed their specific needs regarding the aid devices and therefore subsequent meetings were organized that have allowed us to produce and deliver customized objects.
Autodesk® Fusion360 for object modeling; Ultimaker Care for slicing; 3D printing DeltaWASP 20 40. For the collection of the design features we used the PA board (product analysis) of the USERfit tool. For the psycho-social impact assessment of the assistance, the PIADS (Psychosocial Impact of Assistive Devices Scale – scale -3+3) was used, and for the evaluation of the patient's satisfaction with respect to the aid device, QUEST (Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Technical Aids, scale 1–5) was used.
Results: 6 aid devices were customized: hand grip holder for chalk, toothbrush, ignition key, tablespoon, iron, as well as a handle to open the moka coffee machine.
The psychosocial assessment of 6 delivered aid devices, collected through PIADS, showed an overall positive outcome (mean competence +1.488; adaptability: +1.690; self-esteem: +1.375). The assessment of patient satisfaction through QUEST, was good overall (scale 1–5: satisfaction aid: 4.75; service satisfaction: 4.68).
Conclusions: This work also demonstrated, over a range of small numbers, that the path of co-design and production of customized aid devices via rapid manufacturing with 3D printing technology is feasible and fulfillin
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
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
