Cultural Heritage communication between narrative and creativity. 3D Video Mapping Projection and new suggestions of Augmented Space
No full textIn the Knowledge Society, Cultural Heritage plays a fundamental role in the development of structured communities. The rise of digital communication in everyday life, has produced a deep effect on identities and cultures, transforming the shape of access and transmission of knowledge. In this effort, the application of digital innovative technologies to Cultural Heritage represents a new frontier of research, preservation, valorisation and communication, as well as new experiences for the cultural tourism sector. Indeed, these technologies extend the possibilities to act on the visitor’s experience, contributing to richer interpretations of the past, bringing new perspectives to questions of identity and culture and generating societal and economic benefits. Video mapping results from the interaction of video content (2D or 3D) projected on any surface, as historic buildings, monuments, archaeological sites. To obtain optimal results, it’s necessary that the projected content is designed specifically for the selected surface. These projections can also be interactive and this feature reveals a huge communication potential, when projections are aimed at promoting the historical and archaeological heritage. The result is a very intense and involving performance, which becomes an attraction and an instrument of participation and information for the tourists
Rethorics through Images. New strategies To comunicate, valorise and share the Cultural Heritage
No full text— European Community Agenda assigns to Culture a primary role in achievement of the so defined “Knowledge Society”, as inferred by the numerous events inside the “Culture Program”, established in 2007 with the “Lisbon Agreement” (according to art. n. 167). The “Europe 2020” Program continues the policy outlined in Lisbon, pointing on Innovation, Research, Digitalization and ICT detailed implementation on Cultural Heritage. The spread of new technologies, including those from Information and Communication (ICT), has deeply changed the way of learning transmission, increasing the possibility to create knowledge. The aim of this paper is to illustrate examples of enhancement of cultural heritage through new communication strategies based on the use of digital technologies for the construction of images that convey cultural content, and oriented to fruition as a visual experience, which is lived, told and shared, to catch the attention, expand knowledge and create a sense of identity and belonging.
The starting point of the proposed considerations is the research activity carried out by PhD in “Architecture, Industrial Design and Cultural Heritage" of the Second University of Naples. We are dealing with courses of reflection and planning strategies in which the skills of Architecture, Archaeology, History of Art and Design for Communication are fused into transverse paths that interpret in a progressing manner the complex issue of cultural policies, which are oriented to the enlargement of the 'mental space' through the intimate relationship with the cultural heritage. This is an indispensable condition for the building of a society really oriented to the production of knowledge. Examples in this way are the case studies presented, some of which carried out within the research and teaching activities of the Department of Architecture and Industrial Design SUN where obvious is attempting to use the potential of ICT (Information Communication Technologies) in order to enable “capital emotions” and therefore the processes of identity and cultural appropriation of heritage through the telling and sharing of experience.

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
