Politica e pianificazione linguistica (PPL) nella Repubblica Popolare Cinese, fra interventi sulle lingue e (auto/etero) rappresentazioni. Note in margine a una traduzione
No full textLanguage Policy and Planning (LPP) in the People’s Republic of China, be- tween Language Interventions and (Self /Hetero) Representation. Marginal Notes of a Translation
The aim of this paper is to present some relevant themes of Language Policy and Planning in the People’s Republic of China focusing on two key terms: fangyan (often translated as ‘dialects’) and ‘language harmony’ (yuyan hexie ). Both of them do not belong to the western linguistic tradi- tion and are therefore of particular interest. The paper examines official texts from the last ten years
Prospettive dell’insegnamento dell’italiano nelle università cinesi nel contesto della riforma delle discipline umanistiche
No full textIn 2018, the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China proposed the establishment of the Xin Wenke, the so-called ‘New Humanities Disciplines’, emphasizing interdisciplinary interaction, improvement
of teaching, and integration between education and technology. Before the Xin Wenke reform, some Chinese universities had already practiced interdisciplinary integration, but these individual attempts still needed further improvement.
In the context of the Xin Wenke reform and the Belt and Road Initiative, the importance of teaching Italian in China is becoming increasingly prominent. To achieve the goals of Xin Wenke reform and improve interdisciplinary integration, Chinese universities enriched their educational program by adding humanities courses. Meanwhile, Chinese universities also strengthened the cooperation between university departments, national universities, and Chinese and Italian universities and launched several Italian online courses. Italian courses have already been introduced in primary and secondary schools. Furthermore, the diversification of collaborations between Chinese and Italian universities is envisaged to achieve a deeper interdisciplinary integration
Experimental study on the effects of compressor rotational speed on surge characteristics: Spatial and temporal frequencies
No full textSurge is a significant concern in compression systems utilizing turbo-compressors as the core component, as it induces violent fluctuations in pressure and flow rate, which can potentially damage the mechanical structure. Surge characteristics can be categorized into temporal and spatial frequencies. This paper presents an experimental study of surge's temporal and spatial frequencies in both a subsonic axial compressor and a subsonic centrifugal compressor setup. A key finding of the study is the distinction between surge's spatial and temporal frequencies. The surge spatial frequency is defined as the number of surge cycles per rotor rotation (1 rad), rather than per unit time (1 s). The experimental results yield two novel conclusions: (1) surge spatial frequency is insensitive to compressor rotational speed in the experimental setups used, whereas surge temporal frequency is sensitive; (2) the surge temporal frequency exhibits a quasi-linear relationship with the compressor rotational speed across both compressor setups. The repeated observations in the two rigs suggest that this quasi-linear relationship is not an isolated occurrence. A supplementary experiment, however, disproves the universality of the quasi-linear relationship across all compressor setups. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first study to analyze surge spatial frequency, report the quasi-linear relationship, and confirm its existence in this class of compression systems
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
