Polito - Design by Components
Get PDFFabrizio Valpreda is teaching in Politecnico di Torino and he’s been a friend & supporter to Casa Jasmina since day one. With the help of Arianna Rattazzi and of Fablab Torino maker and TooWheels creator Fabrizio Alessio, he asked the 2017-18 Design by Components Course (50+ students) to imagine and design projects able to meet Casa Jasmina’s inhabitants. We are working together with them to bring some of these ideas to life
Un serious game per la ricostruzione del Tempio G di Selinunte
No full textIl presente contributo si pone come obiettivo la descrizione di un lavoro di sviluppo di un serious
game finalizzato alla diffusione della conoscenza in ambito archeologico. Negli ultimi decenni i videogiochi
educativi, o serious games, sono diventati un’importante forma di coinvolgimento degli studenti
in diversi ambiti didattici: in particolare alcuni di questi hanno dimostrato, nell’ambito dell’insegnamento
di materie storiche, un grande potenziale nel comunicare le forme tangibili e intangibili del
patrimonio culturale.
Il caso in esame propone una prima fase del gioco che ha come oggetto la ricostruzione del Tempio
G di Selinunte, partendo dallo stato attuale dei ruderi, oggetto di rilievo topografico e laser, fino alla
riconfigurazione di una prima parte del colonnato.
Dopo un test da effettuare con studenti delle scuole superiori, si passerà all’elaborazione delle fasi
successive, avendo come obiettivo la ricostruzione del tempio nella sua configurazione definitiva.The aim of this contribution is to describe the development of a serious game aimed at disseminating
knowledge in the field of archaeology. In recent decades, educational video games, or serious games,
have become an important means of engaging students in various educational fields. In particular,
some of these games have demonstrated great potential in communicating the tangible and intangible
forms of cultural heritage within the teaching of historical subjects.
The case under consideration proposes an initial phase of the game focused on the reconstruction of
Temple G in Selinunte, starting from the current state of the ruins, which have been subject to topographic
and laser surveying, and proceeding to the reconfiguration of a first portion of the colonnade.
Following a test to be conducted with high school students, subsequent phases will be developed
with the aim of reconstructing the temple in its final configuration

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Education & Practice in Open Design. Improving the Learning Experience Through Knowledge Connections
Get PDFLearning complex disciplines traditionally requires the adoption of equally articulated methods and strategies. Design does not escape this principle, on the contrary it enhances some of its peculiar characteristics: very different skills, often not aligned development and application times, tools complexity, declare an environment where methods and practice had always defined a non-linear educational scenario (Cennamo et al., 2011). The paper discusses the matter while bringing a case study specifically defined with the purpose to test a new educational scenario where a student is put into conditions to experiment the entire Design process by himself, being connected with different competences inside a complex multidisciplinary environment, in order to develop a physical Design solution for a user with disabilities
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
