3D technologies in Cypriot prehistoric archaeology and heritage: the Erimi user experience
Full text linkThe use of digital technologies is deeply affecting our engagement with the archaeological record and reshaping cultural
heritage encounters. However, the creation of digital resources for specialists and non-specialists alike is rarely informed
by design theory and practices, even though design is deeply embedded in archaeological practices and in the way
archaeologists and heritage professionals produce and share knowledge. By not engaging with core design epistemologies
and audiences we are missing meaningful opportunities in terms of alignment of project goals with user outcomes and the
creation of more impactful archaeology. This paper discusses the application of 3D technologies within the Erimi
Archaeological Project and the creation of 3D models and interactive digital media for research and public engagement,
through an iterative process of User Experience Design (UXD), evaluation and implementation or redesign based on users’
feedback and insights gained through each iteration
La relazione che organizza il contesto sanitario: domanda dell’utenza e risposta dei servizi sanitari, nel territorio e nell’ospedale - The relationship which organizes the healthcare context: users’ demand and response of healthcare services, in the territory and the hospital
Full text linkOur intent is to present citizens’ demand of health care services in Italy through a research structured in three studies. We used the Emotional Text Analysis (ETA) to lead the three s
tudies: the first study regarded the citizens’expectations of the healthcare services, the second study regarded the point of view of the hospital personnel (medical doctors and nurses), the third regarded the point of view of the General Practitioners onthe health care services. These three studies are briefly presented. Data and outcome of an Assumed Similarity Test applied to all experimental subjects of the three studies in order to make a comparison among them, are also presented. The findings of the Emotional Text Analysis show that citizens, potential users of health services, center their requests on their individual subjectivity, and seek answers both to their suffering and to the feeling of alienation that characterizes the being sick feeling that makes them go to a medical doctor. For their part, general practitioners and hospital doctors immediately transform this subjective feeling in an objective medical diagnosis. Here a first gap emerges between patient’s demand and medical response, leavingthe possibility of an alliance on the diagnosis in order to jointly fight the disease. It has long been in place though a change that has expelled the patient also from sharing the diagnostic process, increasingly taken from self-centered dynamics within the healthcare system. This widens the gap between the request of the citizens and the response of the health services, that contributes to that conflictual growth to which defensive medicine gives a dysfunctional answer. The Assumed Similarity Test contributes to the interpretation of the health care dynamic identified in the Emotional Text Analysis; particularly in regard to the unfolding conflict, given by the hypothesis emerging from the data analysis, that a feeling of closeness for the hospital personnel goes along with an emotional stance of overpowering the othe

Full text linkNel presente lavoro viene proposta l’analisi della relazione come luogo del problema che caratterizza l’intervento psicologico clinico quale alternativa alla diagnosi. Tre esempi clinici aiutano a cogliere come la relazione sia il luogo del problema che s’intende affrontare; sia con il lavoro d’assistenza in ambito familiare, che scolastico o sociale. La funzione psicologica può cambiare radicalmente il lavoro assistenziale, mutando obiettivi inutili e obsoleti in interventi efficaci. Ciò è possibile se l’intervento cambia il proprio obiettivo, spostandolo dalla singola persona disabile o problematica, alla relazione entro la quale l’intervento si contestualizza.The research, carried out within a project research of national interest (PRIN) directed by archaeologist Professor Clementina Panella, has the purpose to detect the local culture of inhabitants of the center and the outskirts of Rome, paying attention to the archaeological remains and their cultural contribution. Three components of local culture emerged in this research; all of them are reported to a cultural context that people feel as organized by the pursuit of power and the enhancement of the mass media as factors that give notoriety and popularity then power. One of the three cultural repertoires, characterized by young participants and residents in the outskirts of Rome, enhances the archaeological remains as components of a fun culture. The fun, in combination with culture, is experienced as an effective alternative to the power and the pursuit of powe
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
