Westrogothia Runica : protostoria della Svezia occidentale e tradizione runica
No full textThis dissertation was developed from the original intention to produce an updated and commented edition of Västergötland’s runic inscriptions – with transliteration, normalised Norse text and Italian translation – comprising new finds as well as up-to-date interpretations of previously collected material not included in the last comprehensive edition of the corpus from 1970. The work however evolved in the perspective of an approach aimed at considering the runic tradition by combining a survey of the texts with a study of the context in which they originated, considering runic inscription both as historical cultural products and as sources for the history and culture of the area.
The work was hence organised in the following three sections:
An overview of historical and literary sources regarding the Geats and their role in the protohistory of the Swedish Kingdom, considered as an indispensable element in studying Västergötland, both to define the cultural background of the inscriptions and as a basis to interpret certain characteristics of the corpus.
A more specific treatment of Västergötland as a geographical and cultural entity, based on the collection and analysis of historical and archaeological sources for the period relevant to the inscriptions, from the 6th century to the Middle Ages, with a particular focus on the Christianisation process in Västergötland and its distinguishing features.
The updated corpus of Västergötland’s runic inscriptions - with transliteration, normalised Norse text and Italian translation – preceded by an overview of previous studies, a description of the current condition of the corpus, and a survey of its characteristics with regard to dating and distribution of the inscriptions, runic alphabets employed, decorative elements, anthroponomy and toponymy, as well as formulas and meter in the texts.
The work is concluded by a final section presenting a series of observations which emerged from the combination of historical, archaeological, literary and runological data, considered throughout the dissertation not only with the intention of placing the corpus in the period, area and culture it belongs to, but also as a means to pursue a multidisciplinary approach in order to identify connections and stimulate new lines of possible interpretation.La dissertazione è stata elaborata a partire dalla originaria intenzione di produrre un’edizione commentata e aggiornata del corpus di iscrizioni runiche di Västergötland -traslitterate, normalizzate in norreno, e tradotte- che comprendesse i reperti rinvenuti successivamente all’ultima edizione di riferimento del 1970 e che tenesse conto dei nuovi dati emersi nell’interpretazione delle iscrizioni già comparse nelle edizioni precedenti. Il lavoro è stato però sviluppato nell’ottica di realizzare una ricerca di taglio diverso che affiancasse allo studio dei testi anche quello dei contesti che li hanno prodotti, considerando le iscrizioni runiche tanto come prodotti culturali storicamente collocati, che come fonti per la storia e la cultura dell’area.
La dissertazione si articola quindi in tre principali sezioni:
Una panoramica delle fonti storiche e letterarie riguardanti gli Götar e il loro ruolo accanto agli Svear nella protostoria del Regno di Svezia, ritenuta imprescindibile nel considerare un’area quale quella di Västergötland, tanto per collocare culturalmente il corpus di iscrizioni che per muovere all’interpretazione di alcune sue caratteristiche.
Una più specifica trattazione di Västergötland come entità geografica e culturale, considerata alla luce dei dati storici ed archeologici riguardanti l’arco di tempo a cui le iscrizioni del corpus risalgono, dal VI secolo all’epoca vichinga e fino al medioevo, con particolare attenzione al processo di conversione al cristianesimo, che in questa zona sembra essersi diffuso con tempi e modalità diverse rispetto a quelle del resto della Svezia.
Il corpus di iscrizioni runiche -traslitterate, normalizzate in norreno, e tradotte- preceduto da una panoramica degli studi su di esso finora svolti, da una descrizione del suo attuale stato di conservazione e da un’analisi delle sue caratteristiche per quanto concerne la periodizzazione e la distribuzione dei reperti, gli alfabeti runici impiegati, gli aspetti grafici e ornamentali, la formularietà, la metrica, e la presenza di antroponimi e toponimi.
Nelle osservazioni conclusive che completano questa dissertazione si presentano alcuni dei più interessanti risultati emersi dall’accostamento dei dati raccolti dagli studi storici, archeologici, letterari e runologici, considerati non solo con l’intenzione di fornire gli elementi per contestualizzare il corpus nel periodo, nell’area e nella cultura in cui esso si attesta, ma anche nella prospettiva di un approccio multidisciplinare mirato a produrre spunti per formulare possibili nuove proposte interpretative o evidenziare collegamenti del tutto o in parte inediti

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
