POWER AND GOVERNMENT IN CHINA: THE IDEA OF POWER AS FOUNDATION OF THE POLITICAL SYSTEM
No full textL’obiettivo di questa tesi è comprendere il sistema politico cinese. Tale intendimento è perseguito attraverso la definizione di uno schema interpretativo fondato sull’idea di potere. In questa tesi si assume che l’idea di potere sia funzionale alla definizione della forma di governo e viene analizzata l’evoluzione del sistema politico cinese attraverso modifiche dell’idea di potere. Il Potere è inteso come potere di governare e l’idea di potere viene definita sulla base di sei elementi comparabili: sovranità, esercizio, legittimità, obiettivo, limite e confine. Lo schema così delineato viene poi applicato alle principali teorie politiche cinesi con l’obiettivo di individuarne continuità e discontinuità. Pertanto le domande di ricerca vertono su quale sia l’idea di potere in Cina e quale sia la sua variazione diacronica. Infine vengono analizzati i risultati dell’applicazione dello schema interpretativo per comprendere l’attuale sistema politico. L’attenzione è rivolta soprattutto agli elementi del pluralismo, della relazione fra popolo ed esercizio di governo e sullo stato. Elemento centrale è il ruolo del pluralismo valoriale in rapporto al sistema politico.The aim of this dissertation is to understand Chinese political system. This task is pursued trough the development of an interpretative schema based on the idea of power. This dissertation assumes the idea of power is functional in shaping the form of government and tries to analyze the evolution of Chinese political system via changes within the idea of power. Power is intended as power to govern and the idea of power is set trough six comparable items: sovereignty, exercise, objective, legitimacy, limit and border. This schema is then applied to China’s main political philosophy in order to trace continuities and discontinuities. Therefore Research questions are what the idea of power is and what its evolution was. Finally this dissertation analyzes outcomes from interpretative schema’s application to understand current political system. This dissertation focuses mainly on the element of pluralism, relation between the people and the exercise of the government and the state. This dissertation concentrates on the role of value pluralism in relation to the political system
Securing the Future: Understanding China's Internal and External Fears
No full textL’insicurezza è un carattere determinante della politica cinese dell’ultimo quinquennio. Questo fattore condiziona la politica interna, l’economia e il rapporto con gli altri Stati. Pechino a sua volta è percepita come una forza che genera insicurezza e pertanto spinge gli altri Stati a mettere in sicurezza i propri territori e le proprie economie. Questo principio è valido sia per i vicini regionali della Repubblica popolare cinese (Rpc) sia per le grandi potenze in competizione
Storie di fantasmi, storie di guerrieri: Diritto e giustizia nell’immaginario popolare del Giappone pre-moderno
No full textIl presente saggio intende dedicarsi alle rappresentazioni del diritto e della giustizia (un’endiadi spesso conflittuale) nel Giappone dei Tokugawa, in base a due angolazioni diverse. Il primo prodotto culturale oggetto di analisi è una storia di fantasmi, in cui il diritto “del popolo” viene presentato con notevole acume e accuratezza. Il secondo è una opera del teatro delle marionette (bunraku), che invece riguarda il diritto “dei nobili”
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
