Tracciati storici e città in estensione
No full textContribuendo a colmare un vuoto metodologico, il volume indaga le relazioni tra la viabilità storica, il paesaggio di cui questa è parte e le dinamiche insediative della crescita urbana che progressivamente assorbono le sistemazioni agrarie e obliterano i tracciati viari e i loro caratteri memoriali. Il libro offre nella prima parte una ricognizione culturale ad ampio spettro su alcune delle molteplici sfaccettature in cui si declina oggi la questione paesaggistica. In primo luogo l’aspetto ontologico, secondariamente quello creativo legato al disegno e alla cultura dello spazio aperto infine quello normativo legato agli strumenti di pianificazione paesaggistica applicato al caso italiano. Nella seconda parte mette a fuoco il tema portante della ricerca, indagando le matrici culturali alla base del binomio infrastruttura_paesaggio, fornendo chiavi interpretative di alcuni casi di studio virtuosi e sperimentando una metodologia di protezione e di messa in valore dei tracciati di matrice storica.
Il testo attinge ad ambiti disciplinari fluidi che vanno dalla pianificazione all’architettura del paesaggio, con non infrequenti incursioni nell’ambito dell’estetica, della geografia e dell’arte. Si rivolge a studiosi per alcuni contenuti di approfondimento, così come agli allievi dei corsi di studio universitari in Architettura, Urbanistica, Ingegneria dell’ambiente e del territorio, e campi affini, che si cimentano con i temi della tutela, della pianificazione e della progettazione del paesaggi
Osservatori Locali del Paesaggio in Emilia Romagna Sguardo in prospettiva
No full textThis contribution returns to the theme of Landscape Observatories by retracing the cultural premises that, since 2008, have favoured a multiplication of institutional or spontaneous initiatives throughout Europe. Two different approaches have been tried out, and progressively perfected: the first is quantitative, through the development of indicators, which pursues a scientific perspective of the landscape as a disjointed reality, and the second refers back to the tradition of regional geography, with more narrative-descriptive results. In light of the impact on territories due to globalisation, climate change, the development of communication techniques, population growth, as well as the increasingly consolidated practice of monitoring through integrated approaches, the reading of the landscape requires a more articulated vocabulary. With this in mind, the focus is on the activities of the Emilia-Romagna Regional Observatory for Landscape Quality and the network of the current seven local observatories located within the regional borders. In conclusion, four monitoring themes are identified, linked to some local peculiarities that may contribute to the development of identity and quality landscapes.
Translated with DeepL.com (free version)Il contributo torna sul tema degli Osservatori del Paesaggio ripercorrendone i presupposti culturali che, a partire del 2008 hanno favorito un moltiplicarsi di iniziative istituzionali o spontanee in tutta Europa. Si sono sperimentati, e progressivamente perfezionati, due differenti approcci: il primo di tipo quantitativo, attraverso la messa a punto di indicatori, che persegue una prospettiva scientifica del paesaggio come realtà disgregabile, e il secondo che rimanda alla tradizione della geografia regionale, con esiti più narrativo-descrittivi. Alla luce dell’impatto sui territori dovuto alla globalizzazione, al cambiamento climatico, allo sviluppo delle tecniche di comunicazione, alla crescita di popolazione, oltre che alla sempre più consolidata prassi di monitoraggio attraverso approcci integrati, la lettura del paesaggio necessita di un vocabolario più articolato. In quest’ottica, il focus si concentra sull’attività dell’Osservatorio Regionale della Qualità del Paesaggio dell’Emilia-Romagna e della rete degli attuali sette Osservatori locali dislocati all’interno dei confini regionali. In conclusione, si individuano quattro temi di monitoraggio legati ad alcune peculiarità locali che possano contribuire allo sviluppo di paesaggi identitari e di qualità
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
