No full textReport on the application of the tool for assets evaluation in the Museo Valle di Blenio and prioritization of interventions
The application of a tool for assets evaluation focussed on the Museo Valle di Blenio, an historical and
ethnographic museum located in the ancient palace called Palazzo dei Landfogti (House of Landfogti, also
called Palazzo del Pretorio; Pretorio’s Palace) in Lottigna, Municipality of Acquarossa, Canton of Ticino,
Switzerland.
The assessment involved the team of the museum (the current curator and protagonists of the museum
history, such as the former president of the museum, the former curator and one of the guardians),
representatives of the Ticino Canton, the Civil Protection, the Centre for dialectology and ethnography
(responsible for the coordination of the regional ethnographic museums), the Association of Ethnographic
Museum of Ticino. The former curator of the museums is an art historian specialised in the collection and in the cultural heritage of the area, the honorary president of the museum is an expert of the history of the
institution and of the territory and the curator Cristian Scapozza is a physical geographer also researcher at SUPSI and directly engaged in the CHEERS project.Deliverable in the frame of the European project Interreg Alpine Space CHEERS Cultural Heritage.

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
AMALPI TREK : Dal Maloja al Gottardo : Alpi in Movimento - Movimento nelle Alpi
No full textAMALPI Trek è un itinerario geoturistico transfrontaliero che, dal Passo del Maloja alla regione del San Gottardo, conduce lungo antichi e nuovi percorsi, con le loro peculiarità naturali e antropiche (cascate, borghi), storico-archeologiche (come gli scavi a Piuro) e gastronomiche (come i piatti preparati nelle pentole in pietra ollare, i lavecc), alla scoperta dei processi che drasticamente modificano il territorio alpino: le grandi frane, passate, presenti e future.
La guida permette a chiunque di gustare in altro modo la bellezza delle valli attraversate, magari percorrendone a piedi solo brevi tratti, o raggiungendole con altri mezzi (meglio se pubblici o a zero emissioni), potendo contare su chiavi di lettura fornite da studiosi, per comprendere l’evoluzione del paesaggio e la storia dei fenomeni franosi. L’auspicio è quello di contribuire a promuovere una nuova curiosità verso le montagne e ciò che le anima, le frane, aumentando la consapevolezza del rischio in ambiente alpino
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
