Insegnamento linguistico ed emergenza sanitaria: riflessioni sulla DaD
No full textLa prima fase di emergenza sanitaria determinata dal COVID-19 ha avuto come effetto l’avvio esteso di pratiche di didattica a distanza (DAD) nel settore educativo a ogni grado di istruzione e di formazione. Durante questa fase i docenti hanno avuto l’opportunità di confrontarsi, in modo più o meno consapevole, con ambienti di apprendimento non sempre familiari, affinando o sperimentando in alcuni casi per la prima volta approcci e-learning focalizzati sull’uso di risorse digitali per l’apprendimento a distanza. Il presente lavoro intende proporre alcune riflessioni sull’insegnamento dell'Italiano L2 online, maturate dall’analisi dei dati di un questionario elaborato attraverso lo strumento Moduli di Google Suite e somministrato online nel mese di maggio 2020 a docenti con profili professionali diversificati. L’esame delle risposte ai quesiti del questionario ha restituito informazioni quantitative e qualitative su atteggiamenti e comportamenti degli insegnanti. Tali informazioni sono state trattate nel contributo focalizzando l’attenzione su tre macroaree di interesse: modalità di interazione online e gestione della classe “virtuale”, formazione degli insegnanti e approcci adottati nell’e-learning, pratiche tradizionali e nuove modalità di valutazione.The first phase of the COVID-19 health emergency had a widespread effect on the start of distance learning practices (DL) in the educational sector at every level of education and on training. During this phase, teachers had the opportunity to deal, more or less consciously, with learning environments that were not always familiar, refining or experimenting in some cases for the first time with e-learning approaches focused on the use of digital resources for distance learning. The aim of this work is to offer some reflections on the teaching of Italian L2 online. These reflections are based on the analysis of data from a questionnaire developed using the Google Suite Modules tool, and conducted online in May 2020 with teachers with different professional profiles. The answers to the questionnaire returned quantitative and qualitative information on teacher attitudes and behaviors. This information presented in the article focuses on three macro areas of interest: online interaction methods and “virtual” classroom management, teacher training and e-learning approaches, traditional practices and new evaluation methods

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
