The human capital of graduates who worked during their university studies
No full textIn this paper we discuss the main results of a study carried out at the University of Padua on graduates who worked during their studies. We term these graduates former studying workers as opposed to working students. A sample of studying workers has been surveyed following graduation to highlight the reasons and the educational consequences of their engagement in the competing fields of work and study, and besides to measure the return to society and at work of the human capital accumulated at university. Our study corroborates the current hypothesis that studying work-ers are highly exposed to the risk of dropping out or falling behind with their studies. To improve their profits from study and to increase and valorise the human capital of studying workers, focusing on their expectations, we propose some specific university services. To the aim of analysing the data at hand, we apply multivariate methods

Fotografia e costruzione: da strumento di conoscenza a documento operativo
No full textNel XX secolo la fotografia entra a pieno titolo nel settore delle costruzioni come mezzo di diffusione e affermazione dei nuovi principi espressivi dell’architettura, divenendo col passare degli anni strumento di indagine e interpretazione. “Traccia artificiale della realtà” in forma di vista spazialmente definita, la fotografia permette di comunicare e condividere sensazioni visive proprie di chi fotografa. Ma pur rimanendo uno strumento intenzionale, essa consente di condividere sensazioni visive permettendo l’interpretazione del suo contenuto anche a distanza di tempo. In particolare, il rapporto tra fotografia e costruzione va oltre l’immagine architettonica evidenziando, della condizione propriamente tangibile dell’architettura, sia gli aspetti figurativi della tettonica di un corpo di fabbrica sia la fisicità materiale delle sue componenti e superfici. I possibili attraversamenti della iconografia del cantiere nella modernità, che svelano i processi costruttivi di architetture esemplari, sanciscono il cantiere in una sorta di dispositivo didattico. La fotografia caratterizza profondamente il “restauro del moderno”: il primo settore di studi e applicazione progettuale della storia a essere accompagnato con continuità dalla sua presenza evidente. In assenza di paradigmi interpretativi assoluti e univoci per decidere l’attendibilità dell’immagine fotografica come documento operativo, la fotografia può essere presa in considerazione all’interno di percorsi di riscontro critico orientati alla sua “contestualizzazione” di prodotto documentale

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
