The archaeological site of Mount Filerimos, acropolis of the ancient Ialysos, was excavated, studied and planned during the Italian occupation of the Dodecanese. Although the polis was the most influential deme in pre-synoecism age, it is not, nowadays, the focus of tourists as Lindos and Kameiros are. An enhancement intervention should attract more visitors: the consequent greater availability of financial resources would allow for a repeated maintenance intervention. In fact, a lack of a continuity in the fruition/use has significantly contributed to the degradation of the rebuilt church "Our Lady" and of attached structures of the monastery, which were designed in 1930s. The project - who also aims to facilitate the fruition and the understanding of the cultural offer of the site - prepare such locations for an antiquarium. The antiquarium would bring back to Ialysos the remains of the votive offers of the temple of Athana, which are now in Rhodes. The scientific project divides, in the two built arms of the cloister, the pre-Hellenic offers from those referred to the worship of the poliadic divinity, as shown by the remains of the temple where the church was built on. The exposure of the lapidarium places the coeval architectural fragments near the structures of the Early Christian church, assuring their protection. Moreover, the understanding of the stratifications of the archaeological area and the need for a safe terraced site set the bases for the planning of itineraries aiming both to direct visitors and to protect the architectural structures.

No full textDesign on archaeological sites between enhancement and conservation. The museographic project of the acropolis of Mount Filerimos (Rhodes)
Full text linkThe current appearance of the archaeological area of Mount Filerimos, in the island of Rhodes, is the result of design by Rodolfo Petracco, made during the Italian occupation of Dodecanese. The site, formerly the acropolis of the ancient Ialysos, has many stratifications: a pre-hellenic cult is attested since IX cent. B.C., while the remains of architectural structures are dated between the VI cent. B.C. and 1930s, when the re-built church of "Our Lady" was enlarged with the monastery.
Purpose of the project illustrated in this paper is to improve the physical and cultural use of the site and facilitate its conservation, through a more appropriate use of the architectural structures.
The project, based mainly on historical knowledge and on the critical reading of the archaeological site, includes two different forms of museography. An "open-air" museum, designed to ensure accessibility to different categories of users, allows to visit the main archaeological remains with safety for users protecting the structures. The new access walkway to the church replaces the current and precarious path on the east foundation of the late-classic temple of Athena. Part of the design is the lapidarium set up with Early Christian and Byzantine architectural fragments. It is located close to the structures of the multilayered Church, to emphasize the connection between exposure and environmental context. The typological exhibition promotes understanding by the visitor and, at same time, the conservation of the blocks. A "traditional" archaeological museum is set up with the votive offerings to the ancient deity of the acropolis, which are preserved at the moment in the city of Rhodes. The exhibition is located in the monastic structures, strongly degraded after almost a century of abandonment. The new use of the monastery doesn’t alter its original image, respects the architectural character of the building and preserves, where is possible, its furnishings
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
