L'evoluzione dinastica e patrimoniale dei conti di Carbonana nei secoli XVIII-XX
No full textNel saggio si ricostruiscono le vicende del castello di Carbonana, nei pressi di Gubbio tra Settecento e Novecento, in riferimento alle dinamiche familiari (questioni patrimoniali e strategie dinastiche) delle stirpi proprietarie del castello nel corso dei secoli. In modo particolare, il saggio si sofferma sul modello demografico adottato dalle famiglie aristocratiche nel corso dell'età moderna e mette in risalto i contrasti, le divisioni e le crisi dinastiche, le quali determinano il passaggio del castello stesso da una stirpe all'altra. Le vicende del castello e delle famiglie che lo possiedono nel corso dei secoli sono lette in riferimento alla più generale storia politica ed economica di Gubbio e dell'Umbria
Materiali per una storia sismica del territorio di Gubbio: terremoti noti e ignoti, riscoperti e rivalutati
Full text linkGubbio (Umbria) is the chief locality in a moderately seismic area and also a landmark in Italy’s network of tourist destinations; this makes Gubbio a significant economic resource and the mitigation of seismic risk in the Gubbio area a strategic objective. To achieve this objective it is required – inter alia – to have a comprehensive and reliable picture of local historical seismicity; until now, however, no critical study of historical earthquakes of the Gubbio area had ever been made.
From 2013 to early 2015 this area has been affected by constant seismic activity, with mostly low energy events interspersed with a few significant ones, though none comparable with the last major local earthquake, occurred in 1984 (Mw 5.6). As the sequence went on, a few INGV researchers teamed up with local scholars with the intent of producing a systematic, up-to-date study of Gubbio historical seismicity. The study, carried out on a voluntary basis and totally unfunded, has had excellent results: the total number of macroseismic observations available for Gubbio has risen to 159 from 56 observations that were collected in the Italian Macroseismic Database 2011 (DBMI11) [Locati et al., 2011]; evidence of damage has been collected for some earthquakes that were previously believed not to have caused any damage; finally we discovered about twenty hitherto ‘unknown’, earthquakes,
some of which caused damage in Gubbio and/or the surrounding area
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
