Sustainable online initiatives for the dissemination of nuclear energy culture
No full textThe paper reports about three initiatives that partly preceded and then followed the groundbreaking experience of the Covid-19 pandemic, by offering a university level course available online, a series of webinars and an online career event, all including educational content that pertains to the category of nuclear energy culture. These initiatives had different characteristics and varied content, but all share the feature to be prepared for online delivery with the intention to make sound nuclear related contents available to possibly interested audiences in a remote and both synchronous and asynchronous way. The first in chronological order of these initiatives was set up in a pre-Covid-19 period, when the use of online teaching was already insistently proposed and implemented in academy and industry as a powerful means to create contents available to a vast public of attendees; in that period, resistances and inertia to the introduction of these new means were anyway witnessed and an effort was made in order to propose online a classically structured university course. On the other hand, the other two initiatives benefitted of a post-pandemic environment, in which any doubt about the necessity, the feasibility and the effectiveness of such initiatives had been ruled out by witnessing the need to continue education and information during an unprecedented historical event that disrupted teaching schedules worldwide. The three initiatives and their outcomes are commented and general conclusions are proposed on the potential of distant teaching techniques in relation to its appropriateness in supporting the in-presence teaching to make nuclear energy culture available remotely without any remarkable loss in quality of the conveyed information
Nuove strategie per una capsule collection "think and made in Italy".
No full textL’identità della moda italiana si fonda su valori complessi che riflettono la molteplicità dei suoi territori produttivi e gli stretti legami con la cultura, l’arte, il design.
L’Italia si presenta come un territorio dalle molte latitudini (per le sue caratteristiche geografiche) e dalle tante influenze culturali veicolate attraverso il Mediterraneo, terra tra le acque e luogo di mediazione tra nord e sud del mondo, tra oriente e occidente; la moda italiana è espressione di un sentire aperto al mondo, oggi come secoli fa.
Se guardiamo attentamente, un ruolo fondamentale è ricoperto dai tanti paesaggi produttivi italiani, caratterizzati da una natura culturale prima ancora che geografica: le seterie, i lanifici, i conciari italiani, le grandi sartorie, i territori del design. “Artigiani industriali” che sostengono la grande moda italiana, in un sistema produttivo i cui processi sono a metà strada tra l’handmade e la produzione seriale.
La storia dell’azienda Mario Valentino è caratteristica di un’enclave creativa e produttiva tipica del saper fare italiano e soprattutto mediterraneo: un intreccio stretto di umanità, eccellenza artigianale e produttiva, memoria storica e capacità di immaginare il nuovo in una visione che è allo stesso tempo espressione di valori locali ed internazionali. La Seconda Università degli Studi di Napoli non poteva che riferirsi a questo scenario, seguendo e documentando un percorso progettuale di giovani stilisti a confronto con una grande tradizione ed una storia familiare, quella di Mario Valentino, che ha arricchito il patrimonio culturale della moda italiana, che porta avanti il presente progetto risultato di una strategia di listening design applicato ad un giacimento culturale della moda dal laboratorio FA.RE.

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
