Tra cura e intercultura: la centralità delle relazioni nel punto di vista delle educatrici di nidi d'infanzia
No full textCambiano le opinioni, le prassi, le modalità relazionali che le educatrici di nido d'infanzia descrivono essere da loro attuate quando si tratta di cura in rapporto a bambini e famiglie di origine straniera? Si differenziano le difficoltà descritte nei rapporti con i bambini e le famiglie italiane e straniere? Se cambia, come cambia la tipologia delle difficoltà? Questi sono alcuni tra i principali interrogativi attorno a cui ruotano le considerazioni esposte nel capitolo che pone al centro dell’analisi il punto di vista di alcune educatrici, tutte donne, di nidi d’infanzia connotati dalla presenza di bambini e famiglie di diverse provenienze culturali. Per comprendere alcuni aspetti di tali, ampie, questioni le educatrici sono state intervistate secondo una successione di temi che ha consentito loro di esprimersi dapprima su ciò che intendono per cura con la prima infanzia, in termini generali, e poi su se e cosa cambia nel rapporto con i bambini di origine straniera e le loro famiglie. Si è cercato di lasciar emergere opinioni e rappresentazioni, eventuali differenze, particolari difficoltà o aspetti positivi, evitando un’indagine per “compartimenti separati”, che riguardasse cioè solo gli “stranieri”, nell’intento di evitare di istituirli quali soggetti di appartenenze distinte rispetto ai cosiddetti “autoctoni”
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
Stanislao Marchisio: un commerciante a teatro
Full text linkNell’articolo si indaga la figura di Stanislao Marchisio (1773-1859), ‘uomo di teatro’ torinese, di professione commerciante, fondatore dell’Accademia filodrammatica di Torino, nella quale svolse l’attività non solo di autore, ma anche di primo attore, sceneggiatore e regista (o meglio ‘concertatore’). Marchisio compose due tragedie (“Saffo” e “Mileto”), ispirate ad Alfieri, e numerose commedie (tra le quali spiccano “L’inimico delle donne”, “I cavalieri d’industria” e “La vera e la falsa amicizia”), nelle quali si ravvisa invece l’influenza goldoniana. Oltre ai brani più interessanti delle opere teatrali, nell’articolo sono analizzate alcune tirate polemiche presenti nei peritesti (nelle quali Marchisio si scaglia contro le rappresentazioni non autorizzate, le pubblicazioni abusive fondate su copioni ‘contraffatti’ e l’assenza di professionalità degli attori), che risultano essere un significativo documento per inquadrare il panorama teatrale piemontese (e non solo) di inizio Ottocento, perché l’autore aveva lavorato sia con le compagnie itineranti sia con quelle «privilegiate» (prime fra tutte la compagnia Fabbrichesi, detta «vicereale», e la compagnia Reale Sarda).The article analyzes the figure of Stanislao Marchisio (1773-1859), Turin’s dealer and “man of theater”, who founded in 1801 the Academia filodrammatica in Turin, in which he held the role of author, actor, screenwriter and “director” (nay “concertatore”). Marchisio composed two tragedies inspired by Alfieri (‘Saffo’ and ‘Mileto’) and numerous comedies inspired by Goldoni (among which stand out ‘L’inimico delle donne , I cavalieri d’industria e La vera e falsa amicizia’). The article analyzes the most interesting passages of the plays and polemical writings present in the preface, in the afterword and in the dedicatory letters, in which Marchisio criticizes unauthorized preformances, abusive publications based on ‘counerfeit’ scripts and the lack of professionalism of the actors. These writings are an important document to investigate the Piemontese (and not only) theatrical panorama in the early nineteenth century: in fact, author had worked with both itinerant and «privileged» companies (first of all Fabbrichesi company, called «vicereale», and the Royal Sardinian company)
Virgilio antiromantico. Citazioni classiche nelle lettere di Carlo Botta
No full textNell’articolo si esaminano le citazioni dell’Eneide e delle Georgiche nelle lettere inedite di Carlo Botta (1766-1837) ai due amici torinesi Stanislao Marchisio e Giuseppe Grassi. Qui le citazioni virgiliane hanno spesso una valenza antiromantica: nelle sue lettere ricche di rimandi eruditi e scritte in un linguaggio orientato al purismo, l’autore desiderava infatti sottolineare la superiorità della tradizione italiana rispetto alle “astruserie di Germania e d’Inghilterra”, collegandola ai grandi autori latini come Virgilio.This article focuses on the quotations from the Aeneid and the Georgics in Carlo Botta’s unpublished letters to his Turinese friends, Stanislao Marchisio and Giuseppe Grassi. The quotations from Virgil are often anti-Romantic: Botta’s letters are fraught with erudite citations and aim at purism. By connecting great Latin writers, such as Virgil, to the Italian tradition, the author wanted to stress how the latter was, indeed, superior to the “astruserie di Germania e d’Inghilterra”
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
