Paesaggi dell'archeologia invisibile
No full textLa riflessione contenuta in questo libro è maturata
attraverso un tempo piuttosto lungo, ed è l’esito
di un confronto tra punti di vista disciplinari e ruoli
istituzionali diversi.
Si tratta infatti di posizioni appartenenti ai
variegati mondi dell’archeologia, dell’architettura
e della progettazione del paesaggio, ma anche
della topografia antica, della geoarcheologia,
dell’urbanistica e dell’ecologia; si tratta inoltre
delle competenze specifiche di un Dipartimento
universitario (DiAP Diartimento di Architettura e
Progetto – Sapienza, Università di Roma) e di una
Soprintendenza archeologica (Soprintendenza
Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Roma – sede
di Ostia), in rapporto con i Comuni di Roma e
Fiumicino, con la Riserva Naturale Statale del Litorale
Romano, con la Regione Lazio ecc.Il tema della ricerca presentata in questo libro è la
messa a punto di “Linee guida per la valorizzazione
dei rinvenimenti archeologici della direttrice
archeologica-ambientale Roma-area costiera”,
sinteticamente Linee guida per la valorizzazione
dell’archeologia invisibile.
Con archeologia invisibile si intendono i siti scavati
a seguito di trasformazioni territoriali “inevitabili”,
studiati, documentati e re-interrati per garantirne
la conservazione. A volte si tratta di aree vincolate
comprese all’interno di comparti edificati, o situate
lungo le infrastrutture di collegamento, aree per le
quali non si prevede esproprio né valorizzazione, che si
presentano come tante altre porzioni di suolo incolto,
intercluse o di margine, qualche volta recintate.
La richiesta di usare queste aree, quando l’uso
proposto sia coerente con le norme di tutela (con
quanto cioè previsto dai vincoli diretti e indiretti, e
comunque con la conservazione dei ritrovamenti)
non può non essere presa in considerazione1.
Purtuttavia queste aree non sono un “qualsiasi
spazio verde incolto”, magari da attrezzare a
giardinetto. E non è un banale problema di immagine:
i contraddittori messaggi che queste aree mandano
all’esterno hanno molto a che fare con l’incerta
identità contemporanea di molti beni culturali, e
con la pericolosa distanza che si sta creando tra
società locali e patrimonio culturale, soprattutto
rispetto ai beni di natura territoriale e paesaggistica.The observations contained in this volume, developed
over a long period of time, result from a comparison of
the points of view of various disciplines and institutions. The research theme presented in this volume is
the definition of “Guidelines for the promotion and
development of archaeological finds in the Rome-area
archaeological and environmental coastal context” or,
more succinctly, “Guidelines for the promotion and
development of invisible archaeology”.
By invisible archaeology, one means sites excavated
following “inevitable” territorial changes that were
then studied, documented and re-buried in order to
guarantee their preservation. Sometimes, these are
restricted sites found in built-up areas, or located
along transport infrastructures, areas for which neither
expropriation nor development are planned and which
are like so many other areas of neglected, blocked or
peripheral, sometimes enclosed, land.
Requests to use these areas, when the proposed use
is consistent with preservation regulations (that is, with
what is provided for by direct and indirect restrictions,
and in any case with the preservation of the finds),
cannot not be taken into consideration. Nevertheless,
these areas are not “just any overgrown green space”,
perhaps to be set up as small public gardens. And it is
not a mere issue of image: the contradictory messages
that these areas convey to the outside world have much
to do with the uncertain identity that characterises
a great deal of cultural heritage today, and with the
dangerous distance that is developing between local
communities and cultural heritage, especially as regards
land and landscape heritage
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
TIN(IV) CHLORIDE-PROMOTED SYNTHESIS OF 4-AMINOPYRIDINES AND 4-AMINOQUINOLINES
No full textOrtho-aminobenzonitriles 1 react with beta-ketoesters and alkyl malonates, in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of tin(IV) chloride, to give 4-aminoquinolines 2 and 4-amino-2-quinolones 3 respectively. Similarly beta-enaminonitriles 7 afford 4-aminopyridines 8 and 4-amino-2-pyridones 9
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
