Orfani e trovatelli nella Sardegna moderna
No full textIl volume affronta le problematiche storiografiche relative all'assistenza degli orfani, trovatelli ed esposti nella Sardegna moderna, puntualizzando soprattutto il ruolo svolto al riguardo dal Padre d'orfani, figura di importazione iberica, che nel corso dell'età moderna svolgerà un'azione straordinaria in difesa e tutela dell'infanzia più debole e bisognosa di sostegno non solo materiale. Lo studio si segnala per l'originalità della ricerca e per il respiro storiografico in quanto mette a confronto la realtà della Sardegna con quella europea
L'infanzia abbandonata nella Sardegna moderna: il padre d'orfani
Full text linkLa ricerca condotta nella presente tesi, frutto di un’impegnativa indagine della documentazione archivistica, affronta una problematica, sul piano storiografico del tutto nuova; infatti per quanto si riferisce alla realtà sarda, mancano a tuttora studi esaustivi relativi al problema dell’infanzia abbandonata, e non solo per l’età moderna.
La riflessione storiografica si concentra sul fenomeno dell’abbandono e dell’esposizione dei neonati, che affonda le sue origini in epoche remote, ma è ancora oggi, all’inizio del terzo millennio, un problema quanto mai attuale e sulla figura del Padre d’Orfani, funzionario prima di nomina regia e poi civica, al quale era affidata la tutela dell’infanzia più debole e derelitta, con compiti di assistenza ai trovatelli, orfani e poveri, nel difficile cammino dalla deposizione nella ruota di Sant’Antonio, dall’accoglimento nell’omonimo ospedale, all’affidamento alla nutrice a pagamento, al collocamento presso una bottega di un maestro artigiano per l’apprendimento di un mestiere e al loro inserimento nel mondo del lavoro e nella società.

The research conducted in this thesis, the result of an exacting investigation of archival documents, addresses an issue completely new on historiography, because as far as it relates to the reality of Sardinia, still lacks comprehensive studies on the problem of abandoned childhood, and not only for the modern age. The historiographical debate has focused on the phenomenon of abandonment and exposure of newborns, which has its origins in ancient times, but it's still today, early in the third millennium, a very topical issue. The figure of the Father's Orphans, officer appointed first by the King and then by the citizenship authority, to which was entrusted with the protection of the weakest and most destitute providing support assistance to foundlings, orphans and the poor, on the difficult path from the deposition in the wheel of St. Anthony, from accepting the homonymous hospital, to the nurse in charge custody, until to the placement at a workshop of a master craftsman for learning a job and their integration into the workplace and in the society
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
