Voltaire, Candido, a cura di Sergio Cremaschi e Filippo Bruni
Full text linkThis is one more edition of Voltaire's "Candide", meant to highlight the wealth of philosophical and theological discussions hidden behind the apparently innocent veil of the most renowned fable of modernity. The rather extended apparatus accordingly consists of a series of short chapters by Filippo Bruni on the Enlightenment and Metaphysics, and in more detail, on theology, Free choice, the problem of evil, and happiness in an imperfect world and another by Sergio Cremaschi on the Enlightenment and morality, and in more detail on moral universalism, religion without metaphysics, toleration, and pacifism.

Il futuro in atto: tendere alla democrazia in una società mediatizzata
No full textViviamo in una società in cui i media pervadono tutti gli aspetti della cultura: ciò esige che il digitale debba essere messo a tema dalla scuola per-ché la nostra cittadinanza vi si confronta quotidianamente. Necessitiamo di una educazione «per la democrazia» (Nussbaum, 2014) che consenta fin dai primi anni di scuola di studiare i linguaggi, impadronirsi degli alfabeti, ragionare sulle strumentalità e sulle culture mediali per sviluppare pensiero critico, responsabilità nell’uso, per formare alla resistenza (Rivoltella, 2020b), ovvero ad un approccio consapevole alla propria costruzione di identità e al sistema di relazioni che si costruiscono con gli altri. Cosa può e deve fare la scuola per formare i cittadini di una democrazia sana? Come si può “apprendere la cittadinanza”? Secondo Nussbaum (2014, p. 61), la scuola dovrebbe proporre attività ed esperienze che mirino a sviluppare la capacità degli studenti di vedere il mondo dal punto di vista di altre persone; insegnare l’esercizio del confronto con le inadeguatezze e le fragilità umane; promuovere empatia e al contempo costruire un pensiero critico che abbia la capacità e il coraggio richiesti per far sentire una «voce dissenziente» perché avere voce nella scelta delle politiche che governano la propria vita è un ingrediente basilare di un’esistenza umanamente significativa. Il presente capitolo prende le mosse dalla volontà di rispondere ad un’esigenza educativa atta a formare il cittadino digitale democratico accompagnandolo trasversalmente durante il percorso scolastico. La cornice di riferimento segue una logica lineare: ogni paragrafo indaga una caratteristica pro-pria del cittadino digitale che si qualifica come resiliente, sociale e creativo. Tali connotazioni consentono di rileggere i percorsi didattici del progetto, ovvero le schede operative e le progettazioni di Episodi di Apprendimento Situato che sono state prodotte dal CREMIT come supporto formativo e didattico e che verranno presentati nei prossimi paragrafi in ottica curricolare
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
