    Elementi di indirizzo dei sistemi infrastrutturali a partire dalla costruzione di uno scenario locale

    No full text
    La riflessione riguarda la città delle reti e la progettazione di nuove componenti infrastrutturali in rapporto alle ragioni territoriali. E' fondata su una struttura interpretativa forte delle componenti locali del territorio e del paesaggio. Il contributo, che muove dal progetto di sistema viabilistico pedemontano, colloca la progettualità infrastrutturale entro una visione territoriale delle politiche cionnesse alla riorganizzazione delle relazioni e dei profili di accessibilità

    Belluno, Sondrio e Verbano Cusio Ossola: problematiche comuni e ipotesi di soluzione per le tre province alpine interamente montane

    Con questo lavoro si cerca innanzi tutto di verificare se la presunta omogeneità esistente fra i territori delle province alpine di Belluno, Sondrio e Verbania che risulterebbe anche da alcune note, quanto autorevoli indagini sul livello della qualità della vita, risulta effettivamente confermata o meno. Inoltre, s’intende accertare se, oltre ai fattori che influenzano positivamente le condizioni socio-economiche di vita sperimentate dalle comunità localmente residenti, ne possano essere individuati altri – meno positivi – per i quali va accertato se costituiscano o meno una caratteristica comune alle tre province. Infine, nel caso in cui – come si presume – si rinvengano fattori tendenti a condizionare la competitività di queste porzioni di territorio, fino a produrvi situazioni di vera e propria marginalità dal processo di sviluppo, quelli vengono adeguatamente considerati, cercando di individuarvi valide soluzioni fra le esperienze positivamente registrate in altre realtà alpine con analoghe problematiche. This paper attempts firstly to ascertain whether the alleged homogeneity exists between the territories of the Alpine provinces of Belluno, Sondrio and Verbania that is also known by some as authoritative surveys on the level of quality of life, it is indeed confirmed, or not confirmed. Furthermore, means to verify whether, in addition to the factors that influence positively the socio-economic conditions of life experienced by local community residents, it can be identified others – less positive – for which is examined whether they are or not a feature common in the three provinces. Finally, if - as expected - you come across factors tend to affect the competitiveness of these portions of land, to produce its real situations of marginalization from the process of development, those are properly considered, trying to find valid solutions among successful reality in other mountain with similar issues

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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
