The Roman Inquisition in the Italian Peninsula: Extension of Jurisdiction and 'Hispanization' of Procedures. A Case Study
No full textWith the Bull Cum primum apostolatus of 1566 Pope Pius V hints at
adopting the secret denunciation to investigate and inflict severe penalties
for the sins of sodomy, simony, bigamy, blasphemy and non-observance of
worship and festivities. With the spectre of the ‘cruel Spanish Inquisition’
looming in the background, reactions take place in cities like Milan, Mantua,
Modena, Naples and even Rome. A particularly violent reaction breaks
out in Benevento, a papal city geographically included in the Kingdom of
Naples, where popular riots blow up and cause the repressive intervention
of papal authorities
Fratture, dispute, alleanze, gerarchie: Dinamiche professionali nel cantiere maltese (sec. XVII-XVIII)
No full textThe year 1530 propelled the Maltese community towards significant
political, social and cultural ruptures. The impact on the architectural
context was immediate and long-lasting. The frequent arrival of
technicians from outside the island, primarily entrusted with the
task of fortifying the archipelago, sustained repeated ruptures
within the internal balance of Malta’s building community. Even if
the contribution of external technicians continuously accelerated
the renewal of languages and techniques, their presence in the
restricted professional community could be perceived as cumbersome.
Many times, this generated contested relationships between the
most prominent personalities. Starting from the analysis of some
significant cases that trace the history of Maltese architecture in the
modern age, this contribution attempts to outline the relationship
between local masters and external technicians summoned by the
Order, highlighting the strategies of professional integration, frictions,
and disputes. Observing the evolutions and innovations in the
architectural project from the point of view of the men who produced
them, this study will try to highlight those traumas and ruptures
experienced both by those arriving from outside the archipelago and
those who had to welcome and accept these foreign competitors. The
aim is to obtain a better understanding to help explain how design
choices can be interpreted in terms of fractures
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
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
