Full text linkLikelihood-based small-sample procedures to compute confidence intervals for measures of concordance in a Gaussian bivariate copula are presented, with special emphasis on Gini’s gamma index
Knowledge management ed e-learning
No full textIn questo lavoro si intende evidenziare l'efficacia degli strumenti e-learning e più in generale di Knoledge managment e valutare la soddisfazione degli studenti dell'Università degli studi di Foggia rispetto ai servizi di e-learning erogati durante la pandemia del 2019. Agli studenti dell'Università di Foggia è stato somministrato un questionario online e utilizzando un modello di tipo PLS.PM si sono stimate le relazioni esistenti tra le variabili che definiscono la qualità di un sito
Editorial
No full textThe papers in this special issue of Quality & Quantity are mostly based on presentations from the international conference of the Italian Statistical Society (SIS): Statistics and Demography: the legacy of Corrado Gini, that was held in Treviso (Italy), on September 9–11, 2015, to remember the founder of the Italian school of statistics 50 years after his death
Multidimensional Statistical Indicators for the Analysis of Sustainable Tourism
No full textThe objective of this work is to have the analysis of the environmental impacts
that the tourism sector produces are explored. Often the development of this sector is useful for facilitating growth in less developed areas, but the effects on the environment are not considered. The integrated approach is also essential to study in a new and appropriate way the multidimensionality and complexity of the phenomena of territorial sustainability and tourism. The available data will be analyzed at a provincial level using multivariate statistical methodologies (Totally Fuzzy and Relative Method) and density-based spatial clustering methods (DBSCAN), which allow identifying contiguous areas with high levels of sustainable tourism. These aspects should guide the way for the distribution of resources and investments, as currently not all Italian provinces startfrom the same conditions
Spatial data methods for environmental and ecological processes - second edition

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
