Quarrying and geology in early 18th century Italy: the lithological column of Gregorio Piccoli (1739)
No full textIn 1739 the Italian cleric Gregorio Piccoli (1680-1755), the parish priest of the village of Erbezzo in the pre-Alps north of Verona, published a short treatise entitled Ragguaglio di una Grotta ove vi sono molte ossa di Belve diluviane nei Monti Veronesi. This work supported the organic origin of the ammonites (corni d'ammone) - which could be easily found in the limestone strata of the Veronese pre-Alps (Monti Lessini) - and stated that their presence in these mountains so far from the sea, as well as that of other fossil bones found in some caves of the same area, was exclusively due to the universal and catastrophic effects of the Deluge. As in the case of other early 18th century Italian clerics interested in fossils and rock-strata, such as Anton Lazzaro Moro, Piccoli was completely outside the world of universities or scientific academies. In order to write his treatise he collected some data in the field, mainly in the marble quarries of the Veronese pre-Alps. Piccoli with this work clearly aimed to take part in the contemporary debate on the meaning of fossils within a theory of the Earth based on the central role of the Deluge. However, the most interesting feature of his book is the lithological column published at the end of the text, together with a small topographical map of the Veronese pre-Alps. In this plate Piccoli intended to show the series of regular horizontal strata - with different thicknesses and lithologies which often included fossils - as he had observed them in some marble quarries. This 'columnar' visual representation of superimposed strata was probably taken from the drawing practice of the marble quarrymen. It appears to be very unusual in early 18th century geology and seems to anticipate the common use of the well-known stratigraphical columns from the 19th century onward. The column was considered by Piccoli as a generalized model for all the Veronese pre-Alps and its lithological units were explained in the text with the names taken from the spoken language of the quarrymen, some of which are still used today. The aim of this paper is to discuss the case of Piccoli's lithological column within the context of the links between mining, quarrying and development of geological sciences in 18th century Europe
Il problema della democrazia nel giovane Marx
No full textAl centro del discorso sta la democrazia, nel suo nesso con la questione dell'emancipazione, all'interno dei primi testi marxiani. Occorre rilevare che, nella "Critica del diritto statuale hegeliano", è presente un forte 'pathos' democratico, e invece, nelle opere successive, la democrazia viene sottoposta a critica, in quanto considerata conforme alla separazione moderna fra società civile e Stato
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
