Several observations regarding the archaeological site known as "Maison des/aux Banquettes" in Sousse (Tunisia)
No full textAquest article presenta un resum de diverses reflexions sobre el jaciment arqueològic conegut com la «Maison des/aux banquetes», descobert el 1968 a la ciutat de Susa, Tunísia. L’anàlisi se centra principalment a comprendre la disposició múltiple de les restes, la seva relació de contigüitat i la singularitat de la seva ubicació al cor de l’antiga ciutat de Hadrumetum. Tot i la seva importància científica i cultural, aquest lloc ha estat objecte d’escassos estudis i mai no s’ha considerat dins d’un projecte de posada en valor del patrimoni, especialment com a part d’una ruta arqueològica. De fet, avui dia és ignorat no només per la gran majoria de la ciutadania, sinó també per les autoritats estatals especialitzades. Això posa de manifest la deficient resposta del govern a la pressió que exerceixen la globalització i l’expansió urbana sobre aquest jaciment arqueològic, amenaçant cada vegada més tot el sector urbà on s’ubica i on es troben la majoria de les troballes arqueològiques més importants de la ciutat de Sousse. Aquest article també destaca el preocupant estat de conservació de la «Maison des/aux banquetes», que també es troba a la zona d’amortiment de la Medina de Sousse, lloc declarat Patrimoni de la Humanitat per la UNESCO des de 1988.This paper presents a summary of several reflections on the ancient archaeological site known as the «Maison des/aux banquettes», which was discovered in 1968 in the city of Sousse, Tunisia. The primary focus of this analysis is the understanding of the multiple layout of the site’s remains, their connection to contiguity, and the uniqueness of its location in the heart of the ancient city of Hadrumetum. Despite its scientific and cultural significance, this site has only been the subject of a few studies, and has never been considered as part of a project for enhancing heritage, especially as part of an archaeological tour. In fact, today it is ignored not only by the vast majority of public citizens, but also by the specialized authorities of the State. Thus, this underlines the poor governmental response to the pressure on this archaeological site from globalization and urban expansion, which is increasinglythreating the entire urban sector where it is located and where the majority of the most important archaeological discoveries of the city of Sousse exists. This article also highlights the worrying state of the conservation of the «Maison des/aux banquettes», which is located also in the buffer zone of the Medina of Sousse, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1988.Este artículo presenta un resumen de diversas reflexiones sobre el yacimiento arqueológico conocido como la «Maison des/aux banquettes», descubierto en 1968 en la ciudad de Susa, Túnez.

Esto pone de manifiesto la deficiente respuesta gubernamental a la presión que ejercen la globalización y la expansión urbana sobre este yacimiento arqueológico, amenazando cada vez más a todo el sector urbano donde se ubica y donde se encuentran la mayoría de los hallazgos arqueológicos más importantes de la ciudad de Sousse. Este artículo también destaca el preocupante estado de conservación de la «Maison des/aux banquettes», que también se encuentra en la zona de amortiguamiento de la Medina de Sousse, sitio declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO desde 1988
Un poids-étalon de Mactaris au nom de Q. Ivnivs Rvsticvs, praefectvs Vrbi
No full textCette étude porte sur un poids épigraphe découvert dans le site archéologique de Mactar (l’antique Mactaris, en Tunisie). C’est un sphéroïde aplati qui affiche une légende au nom du préfet de la Ville du règne conjoint de Marc Aurèle et de Lucius Verus : Q. Iunius Rusticus. Il vient enrichir le dossier le plus important de jeu de pondera mentionnant des autorités centrales de l’Empire découverts dans plusieurs endroits de l’Occident romain. Émanant d’une autorité officielle, ces pondera sont destinés à une large diffusion pour la vérification de l’authenticité des poids mis en circulation. Cette recherche se termine par un essai d’identification de la salle officielle des poids et des mesures à laquelle se rattache le poids en question : un édicule situé dans le forum de Trajan, selon une hypothèse proposée par G.-Ch. Picard, ou une pièce particulière du programme architectural du macellum adjacent.This study concerns an epigraphic weight found in the archaeological site of Mactar (ancient Mactaris, Tunisia). It is a flattened spheroid that displays a legend in the name of the praefectus Vrbi of the joint reign of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus : Q. Iunius Rusticus. It comes to enrich the most important file of pondera emanating from the central authorities of the Empire discovered in several places of the Roman Occident. Coming from an official authority, these weights are intended for wide dissemination for the verification of the authenticity of the weights put into circulation. This research ends with an attempt to identify the official weight and measurement room to which the weight in question relates: an aedicule located in the Trajan forum, according to a hypothesis proposed by G.-Ch. Picard, or a particular piece of architectural program of adjacent macellum.تهتمّ هذه الدّراسة بمكيال رسمي ذو شكل شبه كروي عثر عليه بالموقع الأثري بمكثر (مكتريس القديمة). ويحمل هذا المكيال نقيشة لاتينية تشير إلى اسم أحد محافظي مدينة روما (Praefectus Vrbi) خلال فترة حكم الأباطرة ماركوس أوريليوس ولوكيوس فبروس : كونتوس يونيوس روستيكوس (Q. Iunius Rusticus). وتأتي هذه القطعة لتثري الملف الأكثر أهمّية والمتعلق بالمكاييل الرّسمية الصادرة عن السلطات المركزية للإمبراطورية الرّومانية لتنشر بكافة أرجائها كأداة مرجعيّة لفحص الموازين والمكاييل والتثبّت من معاييرها. ينتهي هذا البحث بمحاولة لتحديد المقر الرّسمي للموازين داخل النسيج الحضري لمدينة مكتريس
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
