La tecnica di costruzione del budget
No full textIl lavoro è stato dedicato alla costruzione del budget aziendale con riferimento alle aree principali della gestione aziendale, naturale conclusione di quanto descritto a livello teorico dal contributo di un Autore nella prima parte del capitolo. Il primo step ha riguardato l’analisi della situazione aziendale ( la strategia , la struttura operativa ed organizzativa, i processi).
La mappatura dei centri è stata necessaria anche se solo alcuni di essi sono stati oggetto di analisi, con le conseguenze ovvie di un’analisi parziale ma pur efficace ai fini didattici. Sono stati individuati parametri obiettivi pensando un’azienda market oriented. Il lavoro ha costituito il riferimento per la costruzione di budget aziendali similari durante il corso di Programmazione e controll
Il sistema di reporting
No full textLa scelta delle modalità e degli strumenti mediante cui trasmettere ed accedere alle informazioni è legata alle caratteristiche della domanda da un lato e dell'offerta dall'altro. Nell'ambito del sistema di controllo le necessità di informazioni tempestive, con rilevanza e non ridondanza, possono manifestarsi ai vari livelli sella struttura organizzativa aziendale. Tali informazioni, principalmente, trovano rappresentazione in report sintetici o analitici.
L'obiettivo del lavoro è evidenziare la rilevanza e i contenuti che un buon sistema di reporting riveste in azienda; esso rappresenta, infatti, l'integrazione degli strumenti di controllo. Nel lavoro sono inoltre forniti alcuni casi aziendali a testimonianza della varietà e della dimensione delle informazioni in essi contenute
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
[The digestive apparatus during hibernation: morphological and functional changes]
No full textDuring hibernation feeding is suspended and the digestive apparatus is in a condition of functional rest. This paper is a review of data published in the period from 1966 to 1999 on the structure/function relationship in the digestive apparatus of hibernating animals. The available information is partial, due to differences in methodology and species used; however, it is apparent from the data that the digestive apparatus undergoes an important rearrangement during hibernation, inclusive of mass loss and reduced/arrested mitotic activity, in the presence of a generally preserved morphology of the organs. All changes are reversible upon arousal. Recent findings show that, during hibernation, protein expression may be enhanced in the intestine as well as transport activities in the mucosa. Therefore, the hibernation condition is finely regulated, representing a potentially useful model for studies aimed at improving organ preservation procedures (e.g. for transplantation)
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
