Gli ornamenti dall’area sacra di Banditella, presso Vulci
No full textIl presente contributo si focalizza sulla classe degli ornamenta, pertinenti alla stipe votiva della Banditella che, allo stato attuale delle ricerche, costituisce il più antico deposito votivo noto in Etruria, situato nel comune di Canino (VT), a circa 5 km in linea d’aria da Vulci. L'area sacra è connessa a una antica sorgente, dalla falda acquifera tuttora attiva e alimentante l’odierno acquedotto di Montalto di Castro. Rinvenuto fortuitamente negli anni '90 del secolo scorso durante i lavori di risistemazione della moderna infrastruttura, il deposito si compone di circa 300 materiali di differente tipologia, ascrivibili ad un lungo arco temporale - dal Bronzo Medio ai primordi della fase arcaica -, rinvenuti per lo più integri (o comunque ricomponibili) sia nella terra di risulta prodotta dalla costruzione dell’acquedotto sia all’interno di depositi inalterati. Seppur oggetto di indagine parziale, il complesso votivo offre interessanti e suggestivi spunti di ricerca e riflessione sulle prime manifestazioni in Etruria dei culti connessi alle sorgenti, con dispersione delle offerte votive in acqua. In questa sede, l'analisi specifica degli ornamenta costituisce dunque il volano per considerazioni di carattere più generale sul deposito, inserito nel più ampio panorama dei luoghi di culto etrusco-italici, oggetto del convegno
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
Tra rito e simbolo. La miniaturizzazione nelle sepolture del Lazio tra Bronzo finale e prima età del Ferro
No full textBetween the Final Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age (XI – VIII century BC) the cremation burials of Latium are characterized by a specific ritual costume, which consists in the partial or complete miniaturization of grave sets. The miniaturization, a quite common phenomenon in the Mediterranean world within cultual, funerary and settlement contexts since ancient times, is to be considered a specific ritual behavior that involves the accurate reproduction in a small size of types of artifacts, and that bears a symbolic meaning.
This paper aims to analyze some production of miniaturized objects in the funerary contexts referring to their specific models, with the definition of combination “miniature-prototype”. The existence of the object in miniature is indissolubly related to its prototype, cognitive benchmark from which the symbolic reduction begins: each miniature has the ontological necessity to be related to a specific prototype, without which they does not have reason for being. It is therefore quite evident the reason why an analysis on miniaturized objects cannot prescind from a close examination of the system of dimensional and semantic relationships between miniatures and prototypes.
After the analysis of the grave goods association, the article aims to offer new points of reflection about this ritual practice, considered as one of the more significant features of the Latium funerary costume during the Final Bronze Age and the Early Iron Ag
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
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
