Territori fragili in transizione. Strategie, strumenti, metodi applicati nel processo di ricostruzione post sisma
No full textI Comuni delle quattro Regioni del Centro Italia coinvolte dagli eventi sismici del 2016 si apprestano ad intraprendere il salto tecnico-culturale necessario per passare dalla fase settoriale-operativa dell’emergenza al progetto di ricostruzione dei centri urbani danneggiati. Diviene quindi non più procrastinabile iniziare a dare risposta agli interrogativi circa le possibili strategie da mettere in campo per avviare con maggiore consapevolezza le necessarie azioni di ricostruzione, declinando gli strumenti normativi a disposizione, individuando vocazioni territoriali, coinvolgendo cittadinanza, proprietari, tecnici e associazioni per convergere verso un progetto coeso di ricostruzione.
Le Ordinanze Commissariali rappresentano il quadro normativo di riferimento dentro il quale sviluppare strategie, scelte e azioni di intervento per la ricostruzione dei centri storici, dei nuclei frazionali danneggiati e dei contesti territoriali urbani e periurbani. Partendo dall’esperienza diretta condotta su un caso studio territoriale del cratere sismico marchigiano, il paper delinea la metodologia adottata nell’affrontare il processo di ricostruzione, evidenziando le modalità di utilizzo e le varie declinazione applicative delle Ordinanze Commissariali, i punti di forza e di debolezza dell’esperienze di pianificazione in corso nel cratere sismico
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
Shrinking Phenomena in Italian Inner Mountainous Areas. Resilience Strategies
No full textSeveral factors have been identified by literature as the cause of shrink- age. These factors are often closely linked to spatial features. There are some contexts in which various causes overlap and amplify as in the case of the mountain or foothill areas of Central Italy, which is the case study of this work. The areas of the Marche region in Central Italy, affected by the severe earthquake of 2016, actually feature multiple shrinking causes. In this region, small and medium-sized towns play a determinant role in structuring urban systems with their influence over local communities and organizations. This research work intends to describe the main characteristics of the territory under study, as well as the shrinking causes detected by the analyses. It then tries to identify the strategies in place and to compare them with those already covered by literature, assessing both weaknesses and strengths
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
