La res metallica nell'Oriente romano tra il I ed il VIII d. C. Gestione delle miniere, risvolti sociali ed economici dell'attività estrattiva nelle province asiatiche tra I e VII dopo Cristo
Full text linkLo studio del sistema minerario romano è drammaticamente invalidato da fattori ineludibili, come la scarsità delle fonti letterarie ed epigrafiche, la distruzione delle testimonianze antiche e bizantine a causa del riutilizzo in epoche successive degli stessi siti di estrazione e la perdita della memoria dei luoghi causata dall'abbandono delle miniere, sia esso dovuto a crolli, allagamenti o al semplice esaurimento. Tuttavia è stato possibile in passato ricostruire il funzionamento della coltivazione mineraria per le province occidentali. Lo scopo di questa ricerca è dare una seppur provvisoria risposta ad alcune domande riguardanti fattori chiave del processo di approvvigionamento dei metalli nelle province orientali. Confrontando dati provenienti da fonti differenti è stata creato un modello interpretativo sul sistema di gestione delle operazioni estrattive in Oriente, che presenta caratteristiche peculiari. I cambiamenti nei rapporti complessi tra città, proprietari terrieri, elite sociali ed autorità imperiali furono gli elementi di maggiore rilievo nel forgiare questa forte specificità, strettamente legata al suo retroterra storico e culturale. Durante i primi tre secoli dopo Cristo, nelle province orientali, il ruolo del personale di nomina imperiale (o per meglio dire la sua assenza) costituisce l'elemento più importante del sistema di gestione minerario, soprattutto a causa della differenza di comportamento riscontrata per le controparti occidentali. Accanto all'amministrazione imperiale, le città e le elites locali delle province asiatiche ebbero nell'industria mineraria una rilevanza senza paragoni con l'occidente
La cultura giuridico militare e i crimini di guerra nazifascisti
Full text linkWere the Italian military judges entrusted with the prosecution of nazifascist war criminals the best fit to the task? Could the military law of war with which they had to operate make their work easier? The present research tries to provide an answer through a survey of international law as well as war beginning from the birth of the Italian State. The aim is that of understanding the "cultural" formation of those individuals who, just as the same representatives of the military justice, had fought from the benches of the military tribunals of war the partisan guerrilla which had generated most of the incriminated acts of violence. The difficulty in conceiving a clear responsibility for the actions of Nazi regular troops and especially the obligation to punish them show a problematic acceptance of the dynamics of World War II where the distinction between “regular” and “irregular” combatants disappeared.I giudici militari italiani a cui venne affidato il compito di perseguire penalmente i criminali di guerra nazifascisti erano i soggetti più adatti? Il diritto militare bellico con cui dovevano operare poteva facilitare il loro lavoro? La ricerca cerca di dare una risposta attraverso un excursus nel mondo del diritto internazionale e bellico a partire dalla nascita dello Stato italiano per comprendere la formazione “culturale” di chi , come gli stessi rappresentanti della giustizia militare, pochi anni prima aveva combattuto dagli scranni dei tribunali militari di guerra quella stessa guerra partigiana dove troveranno origine gran parte delle violenze incriminate. La difficoltà a concepire una chiara responsabilità dell’operato delle truppe regolari nazifasciste e soprattutto l’obbligo di punirle dimostrano una problematica accettazione delle dinamiche della seconda guerra mondiale dove la distinzione fra combattenti “regolari e “irregolari” venne meno

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
