INVESTIGATING THE PERIMETER OF INNOVATION IN DESIGN EDUCATION THROUGH MAPPING OF EXPERIMENTAL PRACTICES
No full textMakeToCare2. La patient innovation in Italia tra progetto e mercato
No full textMakeToCare2 prosegue l’attività di ricerca iniziata con il precedente
Report MakeToCare. Un ecosistema di attori e soluzioni user-centered per
l’innovazione nel campo dell’healthcare (2017) che ha proposto un percorso
esplorativo finalizzato a delineare le direttrici di sviluppo di uno scenario,
quello dell’healthcare contemporaneo mescolato con la cultura del making,
in rapida e profonda trasformazione.
Questa seconda esplorazione prosegue idealmente le riflessioni avviate
nella precedente, approfondendone alcuni temi, in particolare indagando
la dimensione imprenditoriale dell’innovazione.
Il Report si struttura idealmente in tre parti:
1. un insieme di contributi esterni da parte di studiosi, ricercatori,
protagonisti ed esperti che sono stati invitati a riflettere sulle
differenti dimensioni dell’innovazione nell’ambito della cura per
delineare un framework di riferimento entro cui articolare la nostra
ricerca. Ne è emersa una riflessione a più voci, con una serie di
considerazioni riguardo l’importanza, per chi si occupa di ricerca,
del guidare e tracciare nuovi percorsi di sviluppo; le criticità ma al
tempo stesso la grande potenzialità delle iniziative innescate dai
pazienti e dalle loro associazioni; le grandi sfide che la rivoluzione
digitale lancia anche al mondo della cura;
2. un approfondimento dell’Ecosistema MakeToCare e delle sue
connessioni con il fenomeno della patient innovation; l’Ecosistema
è stato indagato e ampliato per inserire nuovi sistemi di soggetti
esterni alle sue aree principali ma ad esso fortemente connessi.
Questo insieme è stato definito Enabling System e articolato in tre
sottosistemi (Regulative Institutions System, Support & Development
System e Promotion & Communication System), ciascuno dei quali
identifica un preciso ambito di intervento a supporto dell’Ecosistema
che ha guidato l’attività di selezione dei progetti. La mappatura
precedemente avviata è stata integrata e complessivamente
presenta 150 soluzioni innovative in ambito healthcare i cui dati
sono stati rielaborati e restituiti in forma aggregata attraverso
mappe infografiche;
3. un’analisi e visualizzazione di quello che abbiamo definito
MakeToCare Ladder, ovvero il modello di analisi messo a punto
per sintetizzare il processo di sviluppo delle soluzioni healthcare.
Al suo interno sono state identificate quattro fasi principali che
corrispondono alle fasi di ideazione, sviluppo imprenditoriale,
verifica normativa e distribuzione all’utente finale. Attraverso il MTC
Ladder è stato anche possibile leggere i nuovi otto casi studio, la cui
analisi ha permesso di evidenziare differenze e caratteristiche dei
diversi percorsi di evoluzione affrontati da chi sviluppa innovazione
in ambito healthcare
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
