    Palazzo della luce / Light Palace

    La ricerca di una giusta misura sembra essere il presupposto assunto dallo studio EXiT a fondamento del progetto di restauro e riconversione di un palazzo cinquecentesco trevigiano, abbandonato negli ultimi anni all’incuria del tempo. Un senso della misura che si è tradotto in una profonda e intrinseca coerenza delle azioni progettuali messe in campo, sia di quelle che hanno riguardato il restauro delle facciate e degli affreschi che le adornano – preziosa testimonianza, pur se mutila, della urbs picta trevigiana che si sostanzia anche in altri episodi presenti lungo via San Nicolò, la stessa su cui si affaccia l’edificio –, sia della rifunzionalizzazione degli spazi interni, oggetto nel corso del tempo di numerose trasformazioni causate dai diversi cambi d’uso subiti dal palazzo durante la sua storia

    Rigenerazione dell’abbazia benedettina Monte Maria / Regeneration of the Monte Maria Benedectine Abbey

    «Rimane immutata la “storia” del luogo, le tracce del tempo possono essere vissute nella loro originalità dappertutto» Questo è uno degli obiettivi che Werner Tscholl persegue negli interventi che progetta per l’abbazia Monte Maria a Burgusio e che si sviluppano lungo un arco temporale dilatato, iniziato nei primi anni 2000 e la cui conclusione è prevista per il 2023. In questi si ritrova una coerenza interna che pare derivare dalla “regola” che l’architetto altoatesino pone a fondamento delle proprie strategie progettuali. La “regola” interviene primariamente sul tempo e sulla “storia” con cui Tscholl coltiva un rapporto mai ambiguo, che si configura come un’attenta riflessione su passato e presente, su antico e contemporaneo: «Il vecchio rimane vecchio, il nuovo diventa nuovo»

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    An Existence Result for a Fractional Critical (p, q)-Laplacian Problem with Discontinuous Nonlinearity

    In this paper, we establish the existence of a nonnegative nontrivial weak solution for a fractional critical (p, q)-Laplacian problem with discontinuous nonlinearity. The approach is based on suitable variational methods

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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
