La collezione Ferdinando Cafiero
No full textIl presente studio nasce da un progetto, di cui l’autrice è stata responsabile scientifica, relativo alle collezioni del Museo Civico di Barletta. Nel contributo si ricostruisce la storia della donazione al Museo Civico di Barletta della propria collezione da parte di Ferdinando Cafiero, avvenuta nel 1936. Una collezione migrata a Barletta da Firenze, dove il collezionista giunse dopo essere vissuto in vari luoghi della Toscana. Nel corso della ricerca, sviluppatasi su documenti del tutto inediti, reperiti tra Barletta, Firenze e Lucca, sono stati identificate le diverse case dove il collezionista ha vissuto e la stessa residenza fiorentina, i cui interni apparivano , secondo alcune descrizioni ritrovate, come luoghi privilegiati dell’immaginario ottocentesco, dove accanto ai dipinti risaltavano gli oggetti in ferro battuto , i mobili intagliati, le terrecotte e le maioliche, i cimeli etruschi, medievali e rinascimentali, le armi.
La commistione di diversi generi artistici, combinati in eterogenee composizioni solo apparentemente casuali, riflette un gusto collezionistico affermatosi tra Otto e Novecento che si concretizza nell’ideale della casa-museo, dove lo spazio in cui sono esposte le opere si sovrappone allo spazio abitato dal collezionista, che accumulando e creando nuove relazioni e nuovi significati tra gli oggetti reinventa attraverso le testimonianze passate il proprio presente. Tra sconosciute residenze di campagna (come la Villa di Ferracciano sulle colline del Mugello), luoghi del commercio antiquario, aste pubbliche e acquisti privati (come quelli provenienti dalla collezione Buonvisi di Lucca o della Collezione Peruzzi de’ Medici) , è stato possibile restituire tra l’altro la biografia del personaggio, che emulò collezionisti e antiquari a lui contemporanei come Frederick Stibbert, Stefano Bardini, Elia Volpi, Herbert Percy Horne, Jean-Baptiste e Louis Carrand, ma anche eruditi e studiosi come Charles Loeser e Bernard Berenson, capaci di esportare quella ‘idea di Firenze’ ben delineata da Francis Haskell nella presentazione all’omonimo volume del 1989, intrisa di ideali e virtù basate sulle antiche tradizioni artistiche e artigianali.
Un capitolo di questo studio è poi dedicato al progetto di musealizzazione della collezione nella città natale, curata dallo stesso collezionista, che aveva come modello il grande museo della casa fiorentina di Palazzo Davanzati allestito da Elia Volpi. Un progetto fallito per la morte del protagonista, e per l’affermarsi nella museografia artistica del secondo dopoguerra di una visione formalistica dell’opera poco interessata ai modelli espositivi di stampo storicistico
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
Anorectal melanoma: surgical treatment considerations in relation to tumor invasivity. An update of the literature based on an illustrative case
No full textThe observation of a case of anorectal melanoma has suggested the opportunity for an update on this type of tumor,
whose key features are its rarity, its frequent initial misdiagnosis,
its not favorable prognosis, and the difficulty in choosing
a suitable treatmen
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
