Frattesina: riflessioni sull’origine e sul ruolo di centro internazionale di produzione e scambio
No full textQuesto contributo rappresenta una sintesi ed
una discussione riguardante due degli aspetti più ri levanti concernenti l’abitato della tarda età del
Bronzo di Frattesina di Fratta Polesine (Rovigo), a
partire dai più recenti studi. Il primo aspetto riguarda
la problematica delle origini di Frattesina e del si stema territoriale e politico in cui questo insedia mento si inserisce, in relazione ad una possibile ema nazione dall’area delle Valli Grandi Veronesi o
viceversa ad un ruolo più significativo delle comunità
locali. I dati archeologici appaiono non univoci, ma
sembra plausibile che Frattesina, e più in generale il
territorio del medio Polesine, abbiano ereditato ma
anche trasformato nel corso del Bronzo finale il
ruolo economico e politico delle grandi Terramare
delle Valli Grandi Veronesi, in particolare il ruolo
egemone di Fondo Paviani. Tale possibile deriva zione, tuttavia, non esclude la possibilità che le due
opzioni siano entrambe plausibili. Un secondo
aspetto riguarda lo straordinario ruolo assunto dal l’abitato di Frattesina durante il Bronzo finale in re lazione alle eccezionali evidenze artigianali e alle te stimonianze di traffici a lunga distanza. In
particolare, vengono discusse le evidenze riguardanti
le possibili connessioni dirette con l’Egeo e il Medi terraneo orientale e l’eventuale ruolo assunto nel
Bronzo finale all’interno della rotta adriatica dalle
comunità dell’Italia centro-meridionale
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
L’Emilia tra antica e recente età del Bronzo
No full textThis paper presents an updated synthesis of the extensive research carried out about the Emilia region between the beginning of the Early Bronze Age (EBA)
and the end of the Recent Bronze Age (RBA). The changes made to the landscape of the plain as a result of the intense anthropic impact are described, within the palaeoclimatic framework of moderate but significant fluctuations. This in fact led to the formation of a severely deforested cereal-growing steppe, in which water resource management was of fundamental importance. Knowledge about the Early Bronze Age has greatly increased over recent years, appearing to indicate an unstable and loosely-knit political context before the stabilisation represented by the establishment of the Terramare. The formation of the first settlements that can be defined as Terramare, namely provided with an earthwork and moat, occurred in the course of the Middle Bronze Age (MBA1). The diversified cultural connotation of the Terramare indicates the progressive penetration into the Emilian plain of groups originating from different areas. The overview of the development of the Terramare is updated for each of the different phases of the MBA and the RBA, clarifying in greater detail what is already known along general lines, in both chronological terms and apropos the structuring of the sites and their organisation within the territory. The progressive demographic and economic growth, also confirmed by the dimensions of production and caexchange, led to the apogee of the Terramare culture at the beginning of the RBA. This was followed in RBA2 by the dramatic crisis that struck the economic system of the Terramare mainly on the plain and, more generally, brought about a profound change in Italian protohistory, ushering in a new historic cycle. As regards the funerary aspect, a synthetic overview is provided of the forms of ritual that can be derived primarily from the publication of the necropolis of Casinalbo. Finally, various ritual aspects of the world of the Terramare are mentioned, with one of the most significant pieces of evidence being the large wooden pool of Noceto, interpreted as an artificial basin filled with water and destined to votive offerings
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
