Politiche fiscali locali e la costruzione della città pubblica
No full textThe study determines the activities undertaken by Italian municipal administrations during the period 2000-2012 by issuing new building permits, collecting real estate taxes and the revenue from issue of building permits, and, finally, constructing urbanization works related to the urban expansion for residential purposes or for non-agricultural production activities. The study thus verifies how fiscal policies implemented in Italy at local level have affected, also during much of the «great recession» (i) the expansion of urban areas in Italy and (ii) the realisation of their public infrastructures

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
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
Hand-object interaction in perspective. Neuroscience Letters
No full textWe investigated the effect of perspective on the recognition of actions, without using motor preparation. Photographs of a hand wearing a glove were presented as primes, followed by photographs of the same hand interacting with an object. Both primes and targets were shown in ego- or non-egocentric perspective. Participants had to decide whether or not the hand interacted with the object in a sensible way. In order to increase the similarity between the perceived and the enacted movement, half of the participants were required to wear a glove while responding.
We found an advantage of the egocentric over the non-egocentric perspective for targets in the Glove condition. The advantage of the egocentric perspective was present for primes as well, even though the effect was limited to the No Glove condition. Results are discussed in the framework of the recent literature on mirror neurons and body schema
