Il paesaggio di lago in Europa tra natura e cultura : l’approccio geografico
No full textThe lake represents an important element for the study of physical and anthropic landscapes, an object of considerable interest for all branches of geography. While, on the one hand, a lake is the result of a precise physical and geomorphological matrix, on the other it has always represented a preferred site for human settlement. Countless "lake cultures" have developed over the centuries, which are particularly interesting to studying the relations between man and his territory. In this paper we illustrate how the relationship between nature and anthropic action is expressed in the territorialising role assumed by lakes over the course of history. The geographical approach is not limited to an analysis of the landscape characteristics of the settlements that have grew up around lakes, but also examines an intangible cultural dimension. Therefore, the lake is not only an interesting "geographical type" (to use a classic geographical term developed by Olinto Marinelli in his Atlante dei tipi geografici, 1922), but also a (cultural, tourist, recreational)image that has grown up and developed thanks to the contribution of travel reports, literature, photography and cinema. Using an interdisciplinary approach, geography also examines these aspects in order to explore the temporal evolution of the cultural image of lakes
The greatest rice growing system in Italy : the plain in Lombardy and Piedmont, strectching out between the Dora Baltea, the Po and the Ticino
No full textThe "rice growing" territory , stretching out between the rivers Dora Baltea, Ticino and Po, is all conditioned by the complicated urbanisation processes to the detriment of farmland, the innumerable production changes, the large infrastructures in the transport or service sector, the new lay-outs of roads (running across new economic and functional urban areas)

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

No full textAppropriate 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
