Design wineries. Un'occasione di sviluppo per il prodotto turistico-culturale italiano
No full textObiettivi. Il lavoro intende evidenziare come le strategie di posizionamento delle aziende del vino attraverso investimenti in
“design wineries” stiano contribuendo alla distintività e all’organizzazione dell’offerta turistico-culturale delle destinazioni del
wine.
Metodologia. Dopo una rassegna della letteratura sul ruolo dei settori della creatività e della cultura materiale per il turismo
e, in particolare, sullo sviluppo del wine tourism, il paper analizza due casi di studio relativi ad altrettanti territori particolarmente
significativi in quanto a forte vocazione enologica e che hanno visto negli ultimi vent’anni importanti investimenti da parte delle
aziende nelle architetture del vino.
Risultati. Il lavoro mette in luce i processi attraverso cui alcune destinazioni sono state in grado di capitalizzare, a fini di
marketing territoriale e di costruzione di nuovi prodotti turistici, l’investimento delle imprese vitivinicole del territorio in spazi di
design destinati alla promozione dei propri vini e all’accoglienza dei propri clienti.
Limiti della ricerca. Il lavoro costituisce una prima esplorazione. Ulteriori approfondimenti sono necessari sia attraverso lo
studio di altri contesti territoriali sia con indagini a livello aziendale.
Implicazioni pratiche. Attraverso l’analisi proposta si forniscono spunti di riflessione per processi integrati di marketing
territoriale potenzialmente utili non solo allo sviluppo dei territori del vino ma anche ad altre tipologie di destinazioni a forte
vocazione identitaria legate a prodotti delle industrie creative e della cultura materiale.
Originalità del lavoro. Il lavoro intende proporsi all’interno del nuovo filone di studi sull’interazione tra turismo e industrie
creative per identificare possibili strategie in termini di innovazione dell’offerta del tradizionale prodotto turistico
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
Prevention of adhesions in surgery of the flexor tendons of the hand: what is the evidence?
No full textINTRODUCTION:
Despite advances in knowledge and refinements of technique, the management of flexor tendon injuries within the digital sheath continues to present a formidable challenge. This in turn has led to a massive expansion in search of modified surgical therapies and various adjuvant therapies, which could prevent adhesion formation without compromising digital function.
SOURCES OF DATA:
A search of PubMed, Medline, CINAHL and Embase databases was performed using the keywords 'tendon adhesion prevention', 'tendon healing', 'adhesion prevention in tendons' and 'adjuvants for adhesion prevention'. Studies detailing the use of surgical, pharmacological and non-pharmacological agents for adhesion prevention in digital flexor tendons were identified, and their bibliographies were thoroughly reviewed to identify further related articles. This search identified 41 studies, which investigated the use of various pharmacological agents in adhesion prevention in digital tendons.
AREAS OF AGREEMENT:
There is a need to develop and utilize an optimal method for the prevention of adhesions in the flexor tendons of the hand, due to post-surgical complications.
AREAS OF CONTROVERSY:
Even though there have been significant advances in the prevention of adhesions in flexor tendons, it remains to be proved which, if any, of the current methods are the most beneficial.
GROWING POINTS:
The only thing that appears clinically justified in adhesion prevention is the need for early post-operative mobilization of digits after tendon injury or repair but the best method of mobilization remains controversial.
AREAS TIMELY FOR DEVELOPING RESEARCH:
Suggested changes in surgical techniques and various proposed pharmacological and non-pharmacological modalities need to withstand the test of adequately powered human trials, before their justification for potential benefit in clinical practice is accepted
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
