Ambiente, spazi, storie arti, idee” (Università di Trento) e “Scienze archeologiche, storico-artistiche e storiche” (Università di Verona), a cura di Diego E. Angelucci, Enrico Croce, Mara Migliavacca e Fabio Saggioro. L’evento, organizzato dagli stessi curatori, si è tenuto dal 26 al 28 maggio 2021, con due giornate di comunicazioni presso le sedi universitarie di Trento e di Verona e una terza giornata dedicata a una visita di studio negli Alti Lessini in collaborazione con il prof. Ugo Sauro. Grazie alla modalità ibrida, la partecipazione è risultata significativa, raggiungendo punte di oltre un centinaio di partecipanti, tra cui ricercatori, ricercatrici, dottorandi e dottorande delle due università, studenti del corso di laurea magistrale interateneo “Quaternario, Preistoria e Archeologia” e dei corsi triennali delle università di Trento e di Verona, oltre a varie persone interessate al tema in oggetto. I casi-studio qui inclusi ricadono nell’ambito della cosiddetta “archeologia di montagna”. Pur non avendo alcuna pretesa di definire questo ambito di ricerca in modo completo ed esaustivo, i saggi qui raccolti offrono esempi del lavoro archeologico alle alte quote, significativi per suscitare sia la discussione metodologica sia la riflessione sulla presenza umana negli ecosistemi montani. Un lavoro di questo tipo, ovviamente, non può avere la pretesa di coprire integralmente tutte le aree geografiche e le cronologie, tralasciando pertanto alcuni filoni di ricerca anche rilevanti, quali quelli relativi alla prima occupazione delle aree montane nel Pleistocene finale e nel primo Olocene (ovverosia, nel Paleolitico superiore finale e nel Mesolitico) o all’archeologia della prima guerra mondiale. Le ricerche sono presentate secondo una scansione prettamente geografica, da ovest verso est e da nord verso sud
MONTAGNA, SISTEMI E DINAMICHE TRA LA VALLE E ALTE QUOTE: SCAVI E RICERCHE PRESSO IL SITO DI PIURO (SO)
No full textThe archaeological project on the Piuro area has been active since 2015/16. The study has two main objectives: a) highlight the complexity of the socio-settlement and environmental dynamics affecting the Alpine valleys; b) deepen the well-known event of the landslide (1618), which represented a dramatic moment, but certainly central in the history and evolution of the valley. It is an activity included in a Project of Relevant National Interest (PRIN) with the Cà Foscari University of Venice as the lead partner (prof. S. Gelichi), and one of the local units is the University of Verona. The project is called Food and Stones and aims to study the commercial and economic networks in the early Middle Ages between the Alps and the Adriatic. The Piuro Project is also involved in the AMALPI Project, Interreg-Italy Switzerland for the study of large Alpine landslides. The village, overwhelmed by a massive landslide in 1618, is one of the greatest disasters in the history of the Alps. Meters of landslide covered the ruins of buildings and areas of the village. Archaeologists have brought to light the remains of various buildings in the Mot del Castel area. In this area, the investigation of which began in 2018, the archaeologists were able to observe how at the time of the landslide part of the medieval buildings had already been abandoned and the area must have been mainly composed of open spaces and gardens. The town, destroyed by the disaster, had already changed its appearance compared to the medieval period. Part of the research group also worked on the quarries and soapstone extraction areas, attempting to reconstruct the complex dimension of the landscape linked to this activity. The importance of soapstone in medieval trade is emerging with ever greater force in the field of scientific research and for this reason a part of the research group is working on this specific theme with archaeometric investigations on the materials. The case of Piuro and Val Bregaglia is in fact an important reference for understanding the production and distribution of soapstone throughout this area, a material that was widely circulated at that time
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
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
