Il turismo en plein air: un’opportunità per le piccole località italiane?
No full textIl presente studio si concentra sul turismo en plein air, un insieme di pratica che oggi coinvolgono masse crescenti e diversificate e che perciò possono essere considerate come un’opportunità per le località medie e piccole italiane. A fronte di una debolezza negli studi specifici, si propongono alcune riflessioni (dedotte da una ricerca qualitativa) volte a presentare possibili itinerari per la ricerca geografica, con particolare riferimento al turismo in camper, la pratica en plein air più diffusa.En plein air tourism: an opportunity for small italian towns? - This paper focuses on en plein air tourism, a set of practices that is involving an increasing and diversified mass of people. For this reason it can be considered as an opportunity for small and medium Italian towns. In spite of a weakness in specific studies, we propose some reflections (deduced from a qualitative research) aimed at presenting possible geographical research paths with particular reference to camper tourism, the most widespread practice in en plein air tourism
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
Lipschitz stable determination of small conductivity inclusions in a semilinear equation from boundary data
Full text linkWe consider an inverse problem regarding the detection of small conductivity inhomogeneities in a boundary value problem for a semilinear elliptic equation. For such a problem, that is related to cardiac electrophysiology, an asymptotic expansion for the boundary potential due to the presence of small conductivity inhomogeneities was established in [4]. Starting from this we derive Lipschitz continuous dependence estimates for the corresponding inverse problem
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
Riconcettualizzare la governance e le relazioni socio-ambientali: Per un' Ecologia Politica dei Boschi Urbani
No full textRIASSUNTO: Nell’ambito del dibattito sulla geografia dell’ambiente, il presente contributo mira a fornire in primo luogo una riflessione critica sul concetto di governance ambientale e sui complessi processi politici che la contraddistinguono attraverso l’approccio dell’ecologia politica. In secondo luogo, nell’ambito della riconcettualizzazione delle relazioni socio-ambientali, l’attenzione si focalizza sui boschi urbani, e sul contributo dell’ecologia politica nell’analisi di queste realtà socioambientali
