No full textGeneral view of excise tax building, from the southwest; At the western end of the semi-circle, is the Clerks building, reserved for the administration of the Saltworks --the clerks, the foremen, the supervisors of work. At the eastern end is an identical building occupied by the Ferme Générale: la Gabelle, offices of the tax authorities. Any quantity of salt which left the Saltworks was under their control. Behind each building was a private air shaft and vegetable gardens. The gabelle tax was a mandatory payment on all people over the age of 8 years to buy an amount of salt per year at a price fixed by the government. This was very unpopular and is quoted as one of the reasons of the French revolution. Source: Institut Claude-Nicolas Ledoux [website]; http://www.salineroyale.com/ (accessed 1/5/2008

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Gabelle e mete dell’Università di Siracusa
No full textA Siracusa, abolita nel 1537 la camera reginale di cui essa era 'capitale', si avvia un processo di parziale cambiamento della classe dirigente: in questo saggio la vicenda dell'occupazione del potere viene analizzata attraverso lo studio della gestione del sistema delle gabelle e delle 'mete' nei secoli XVI-XVII, che si presenta come terreno elettivo di lotta politica tra le fazioni e strumento di tutela e di sostegno degli interessi economici della classe dirigente già garantita da forme di selezione chiuse e privilegiate. Tabelle e grafici forniscono utili dati per la conoscenza di alcuni aspetti della dinamica economica dell'area siracusana in questo periodo.[...
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
Rue des Usines vs rue de la Gabelle : Effacement du passé industriel et réaffirmation de l’autonomie historique d’une cité sarde dans le canton de Genève
No full textLe film "Rue des Usines - Rue de la Gabelle : réaffirmation de l'identité carougeoise ?", a été réalisé par Yannick Gilles, Muriel Sakkal et Christophe Salamun, du département de géographie de l'Université de Genève, en 2007. Il retrace le changement de nom de la rue des Usines en rue de la Gabelle intervenu à Carouge (CH, Canton de Genève) en 1980. Ce changement est resitué dans le cadre des transformations urbaines de la deuxième moitié du XXeme siècle. Une enquête auprès des différents ac..
