Spazio, Sport, Società. La pratica sportiva nel progetto dello spazio pubblico contemporaneo / Space, sport, society. The practice of sport in the design of contemporary public space
No full textNell’attuale scenario socio-culturale, la pratica dello sport rappresenta
uno dei principali motori di sviluppo, data la connotazione inclusiva che
incorpora e le potenzialità di qualificazione funzionale e spaziale che esprime.
La letteratura in materia e le molteplici sperimentazioni sul campo, evidenziano
come l’attività sportiva rappresenti oggi uno strumento centrale nelle azioni di
promozione di un’etica di “città aperta”, vivibile e sicura. Parimenti il sistema
d’infrastrutturazione pubblica della città rappresenta, in epoca contemporanea,
un fattore sempre più rilevante per la qualità urbana e sociale richiedendo programmi
e strategie in grado di ridefinire i luoghi e le loro modalità di fruizione
in funzione dei temi della salute e della qualità ambientale. Sulla base di tali
premesse, il presente contributo si pone l’obiettivo di analizzare la recente evoluzione
delle modalità di pianificazione e progettazione dello spazio pubblico in
relazione alle pratiche sportive intese come “fatto sociale totale”, come ambiti
trovano applicazione politiche di rigenerazione urbana e sociale fondate sulla volontà
di promuovere azioni di educazione alla salute, inclusione sociale nonché
programmi di qualificazione fisica dell’ambiente costruito.In the current socio-cultural scenario, the practice of sport represents one of the main drivers of development, given the inclusive connotation it incorporates and the functional and spatial qualification potential that it expresses. Literature on this subject, and the many experiments in the field, serve to highlight how sports activities today are a central tool in the promotion of an “open city” ethic, namely one that is liveable and safe. Equally, in modern times, the city’s public infrastructure system represents an increasingly important factor for urban and social quality, requiring programmes and strategies capable of redefining places and their modes of use according to the themes of health and environmental quality. On the basis of these premises, this paper aims to analyse the recent evolution of the methods of planning and design of public space in relation to sports practices understood as a “comprehensive social reality”, as areas where urban and social regeneration policies based on the desire to promote health education actions, social inclusion and programmes for the physical qualification of the built environment are applied

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
