    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    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

    Gauge coupling unification in E 6 F-theory GUTs with matter and bulk exotics from flux breaking

    No full text
    We consider gauge coupling unification in E 6 F-Theory Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) where E 6 is broken to the Standard Model (SM) gauge group using fluxes. In such models there are two types of exotics that can affect gauge coupling unification, namely matter exotics from the matter curves in the 27 dimensional representation of E 6 and the bulk exotics from the adjoint 78 dimensional representation of E 6. We explore the conditions required for either the complete or partial removal of bulk exotics from the low energy spectrum. In the latter case we shall show that (miraculously) gauge coupling unification may be possible even if there are bulk exotics at the TeV scale. Indeed in some cases it is necessary for bulk exotics to survive to the TeV scale in order to cancel the effects coming from other TeV scale matter exotics which would by themselves spoil gauge coupling unification. The combination of matter and bulk exotics in these cases can lead to precise gauge coupling unification which would not be possible with either type of exotics considered by themselves. The combination of matter and bulk exotics at the TeV scale represents a unique and striking signature of E 6 F-theory GUTs that can be tested at the LHC

    Come si chiama la mia lingua: glottonimi, identità e sensibilità della diversità linguistica nella classe multiculturale

    L'indagine qui presentata integra e approfondisce alcuni risultati del progetto di ricerca-azione "Lingue e culture in movimento" (Cognigni, Vitrone 2016; 2017). Prendendo in esame i diversi modi in cui bambini e ragazzi con background migratorio denominano le varietà linguistiche del proprio repertorio plurilingue, il contributo intende riflettere sul legame tra lingua, identità e senso di appartenenza al territorio, anche in un’ottica di educazione plurilingue in cui ciascuna varietà linguistica possa essere valorizzata, indipendentemente dal suo status sociale

    Il progetto interateneo delle Università degli Studi di Camerino e Macerata: la nascita di 'Eratosthenes' e 'Aretusa'

    Scopo del Progetto è stata quello di elaborare un percorso divulgativo-culturale, che in modo interdisciplinare si muovesse intorno a tematiche tra archeologia, storia, geologia attraverso il linguaggio dell'arte, in particolare del teatro. Ne è scaturita la creazione di "Aretusa - Canto delle acque nelle Metamorfosi", che, insieme al precedente 'Eratostene: il volto della terra', rappresenta un libretto teatrale intorno alla natura, in particolare l'Acqua, in cui la mitologia, le fonti letterarie e iconografiche forniscono il pretesto narrativo e la materia per la rappresentazione. I luoghi e i miti di Cirene in Libia per 'Eratostene' e della Sicilia antica per 'Aretusa' rivivono nei temi e nelle geo-ambientazioni dei due libretti (Autore: geologo F. Pallotta; consulenza scientifica: archeologi E. Catani; E. Stortoni). Entrambi gli Atenei hanno fatto circuitare l'opera con il coinvolgimento di attori-studenti nei teatri storici e antichi delle Marche e della Sicilia

    Training of Special Education teachers in Greece, France, and Italy. Critical comments regarding Inclusive Education (ISTRUZIONE E FORMAZIONE DEGLI INSEGNANTI IN EDUCAZIONE SPECIALE IN GRECIA, ITALIA E F...

    Si tratta di un volume che si occupa della formazione degli insegnanti attraverso la disamina degli approcci teorici e di ricerca sull'educazione e sulla pedagogia speciali. Nel contributo indicato, gli autori - E. Kourkoutas, greco; R. Caldin, italiana; M.-G. Prunier, francese - svolgono una dettagliata comparazione delle teorie e delle pratiche in pedagogia e in educazione speciali tra la Grecia, l'Italia e la Francia, mettendo in luce - dei vari Paesi - le "buone pratiche", le dimensioni teoriche, le prospettive inclusive

    Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry

    No full text
    This work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    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
