L'inserimento nello Stato unitario (1865-1893)
No full textLa storia politico-istituzionale della città di Arezzo viene ricostruita in dodici saggi, senza soluzione di continuità, attraverso le sue principali scansioni. Contraddistinguono il medio evo: le invasioni barbariche e il potere del vescovo-conte (P. Licciardello), l'origine del Comune e il suo consolidamento (J.P. Delumeau), la seconda età comunale fino alla sottomissione a Firenze (G. Cherubini), il contrastato inserimento nello Stato regionale (L. Berti). L'età moderna è caratterizzata dal sistema di potere elaborato dal patriziato (L. Berti) e si conclude con la riforma comunitativa, il Viva Maria e gli "anni francesi" (F. Cristelli). I sei saggi seguenti ci conducono attraverso le principali tappe dell'età contemporanea: la Restaurazione e il Risorgimento (F. Bertini), l'inserimento nello Stato unitario (A. Garofoli), i fermenti politici di fine Ottocento e le radici del fascismo (G. Sacchetti), il primo Dopoguerra e il Ventennio fascista (G. Galli), la Liberazione, la Ricostruzione postbellica e il 'boom' economico (A. Coradeschi), il governo dei partiti di sinistra (N. Materazzi). Chiudono il volume sedici tavole a colori con vedute di Arezzo e l'indice dei nomi di persona
Competing Methodologies in Early 19th-Century Foreign Language Teaching: Moses Santagnello (and Others) vs James Hamilton
No full textThis paper presents and compares the teaching methodologies of Moses Santagnello and James Hamilton, two foreign language teachers working in England in the first half of the 19th century. Santagnello and Hamilton were among the firsts to reconsider traditional methods of foreign language teaching, so that their criticism anticipated some of the issues later raised by the Reform Movement and later SLA researchers. The methods they developed differed considerably from one another; Santagnello was a supporter of a meaningful acquisition of foreign grammatical structures in the
students’ native language, while Hamilton believed grammar to be a hindrance on acquisition and suggested that language learning should start from reading practice. Common to both methods was the use of translation, although in different ways. Finally, worthy of consideration are also the authors’ observations and ideas on the features of language learning and teaching of their time; indeed, both authors dealt with issues that are still highly debated in present-day language teaching

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
Dishwashing machine and relative system for drying dishes
No full textThe patented system is able to provide:
- effective drying of the dishes, that is carried out with cold and dry air;
- containment of the process air inside the machine, with consequent reduction of the energetic dispersion in the form of latent and sensible heat;
- recovery of the heat from the dishes, that can be used for heating the tanks
DNA-templated photoinduced silver deposition
No full textWe are presenting a photography-derived methodology to achieve the photoreduction of Ag+−DNA complexes. λ-Phage DNA was first loaded with silver ions, then irradiated with UV light at 254 nm. The DNA bases acted as light sensitizers, promoting the in situ reduction of Ag+ and the formation of metallic silver clusters. Three different approaches will illustrate this procedure, and silver nanoparticle chains will be grown along a DNA template in a rapid and specific way
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
