Hyle. Dialoghi transdisciplinari sul design.

Catalogo Edito: Il Laboratorio ISBN: 9788896787199

Ciascun autore è chiamato a redigere un dialogo per interrogarsi sul senso profondo del sentire la città. Il manifesto dialogico, scritto a mano attraverso delle serigrafie, diventa un modo per ripensare il proprio essere nel luogo. La mostra presenta una serie di opere/contenitori epistemologici, quali vasi, scatole, sculture intesi come dispositivi per visualizzare pensieri altrimenti astratti. Le forme cave, nel loro essere vuote, sono riempite di un senso, come di un liquido dialogico, che è il messaggio, l’idea che il designer/artista vuole offrire al pubblico

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Designing for a ‘smart society’. How design can generate a more sustainable production-consumption process
No full textThe paper reports the results of a research in progress that the authors are carrying out to investigate and experiment new processes of ‘design-production-consumption’ in order to obtain a real social innovation.
The research grows out of the observation that today the role of design, together with its creative processes, are experiencing a deep transformation due to two complementary macro-phenomena:
- the exponential growth of technological innovations and the evolution of information and communication processes;
- the economic crisis and the environmental emergency arisen from the process of overproduction triggered during the 20th century.
According to the Design approach, these macro phenomena result in a redefinition of the process from manufacturing to consumption:
- on one side, thanks to the new information technology, the process was reduced both in terms of physical location and in terms phases and actors, reconstituting an handmade approach in which the creator coincides with the manufacturer.
- on the other side, to face current crisis, the process is focusing attention on the logic of low environmental impact, consumption reduction, reuse philosophy and practice of recycling.
From a methodological point of view, the research focuses on the overlap of three operative tools:
- the ‘desktop manufacturing’, which allows high flexibility of the work, a customization of the results, an open trial of the materials and an indifference to the economies of scale;
- the ‘smart technologies’, which transform the interactions from functional to cognitive ones, paving the way to a scenario of contents and performances sharing;
- the ‘do-it-yourself’, which shifts the focus from the simple practice of consumption to the practice of production for their own needs while reducing the economic, environmental and social impacts.
The research goal is to imagine a different ‘design player’ which grows out of the convergence between designer (the classical one), 'prosumer' (Toffler, 1980) and 'maker' (Anderson, 2012). . This new player could be able to represent, today, a potentially virtuous alternative to the current economic production and social structure and, if properly developed, which can open more sustainable social, economic and environmental scenarios (Weinberger, 2012).
The expected result aren’t simply new products but a sort of ‘assembly layouts of products’ that can be realized, managed and implemented by a large community of people using an open-source practice
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
