Città consolidata e inclusione sociale. Strategie, regole e strumenti per il piano urbanistico locale
Full text linkLa ricerca, nata nell’ambito di una riflessione critica sulle tematiche sociali della pianificazione urbana, vuole apportare, attraverso lo strumento del piano urbanistico locale, una maggiore inclusione sociale nelle città italiane, fornendo così una risposta interdisciplinare, integrata e condivisa, alla “nuova questione urbana” della città contemporanea. Il campo di studio scelto è quello delle città italiane, con particolare riferimento ai tessuti consolidati, che ne costituiscono la ‘città consolidata’. Questa parte della città esistente, densamente costruita e fortemente popolata, è pienamente investita dalla nuova questione urbana, a cui la ricerca cerca di dare risposta attraverso una maggiore inclusione sociale, con un nuovo welfare urbano e la realizzazione di una “città pubblica” equa ed inclusiva. Lo strumento scelto per attuare tale proposito è il piano urbanistico locale, per il quale vengono proposte nuove regole, strategie e strumenti operativi, nell’ambito di un’innovazione dello strumento che si inserisce nel campo del riformismo dell’urbanistica e nelle richieste di una maggiore risposta ai diritti sociali avanzate nell’ambito comunitario. Obiettivo della ricerca è dunque l’elaborazione di nuovi riferimenti teorico-metodologici ed operativi per l’inclusione sociale nella città consolidata attraverso un piano locale innovato, rivolto all’inclusione nella società dei soggetti fragili e svantaggiati e delle comunità deboli ed emarginate, al fine di perseguire una maggiore giustizia socio-spaziale, innescare il riequilibrio del territorio e garantire il diritto alla città per tutti.The research, born as a critical reflection on the social issues of urban planning, aims to bring, through the instrument of the local urban plan, greater social inclusion in Italian cities, thus providing an interdisciplinary, integrated, and shared response to the “new urban question” of the contemporary city. The field of study chosen is that of Italian cities, referring to the consolidated fabrics, which constitute the ‘consolidated city’. This part of the city, densely built and heavily populated, is fully invested by the new urban question, to which the research seeks to respond through greater social inclusion, with a new urban welfare and the creation of a fair and inclusive “public city”. The urban tool chosen to implement this purpose is the local urban plan, for which new rules, strategies and operational tools are proposed, as part of an innovation of the plan that fits into the field of Italian urban planning reformism and the requests for a greater response to social rights advanced to the European Commission. The aim of the research is therefore the elaboration of new theoretical, methodological, and operational references for social inclusion in the consolidated city through an innovative local plan, aimed at the inclusion in society of fragile and disadvantaged subjects and weak and marginalized communities, in order to pursue greater socio-spatial justice, activate the rebalance of the territory and guarantee the right to the city for all
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
