Il Patrimonio Culturale e il suo Eco-Sistema: un nuovo approccio metodologico basato su tecniche di Prototipazione Virtuale per gestirne il ciclo di vita e migliorare l’interazione con gli utenti
Full text linkI musei oggi hanno assunto un nuovo significato, non sono più solo luoghi dediti alla conservazione ed esposizione di collezioni e opere d’arte, ma rappresentano uno dei mezzi di comunicazione privilegiati per diffondere la cultura e renderla accessibile ad un pubblico più vasto possibile. Grazie all’emergere della filosofia della “nuova museologia”, il rapporto tra i musei, i luoghi d’arte, la società e la comunità, è profondamente cambiato, riducendo via via la divisione presente tra cultura trattata in modo classico e nuovi canali di comunicazione introdotti con la diffusione delle tecnologie.
Numerosi sono gli interventi volti a creare strategie e strumenti per conservare e diffondere l’intero patrimonio, soprattutto laddove esso risulti fragile e deteriorabile, ma fino ad ora non è stato sviluppato un approccio metodologico strutturato, volto alla gestione efficiente del patrimonio culturale.
Infatti, i profondi cambiamenti dovuti alla trasformazione digitale ed alla rinnovata centralità dell’utente devono essere affrontati con un approccio razionalmente e compiutamente organizzato, che consideri il reperto storico in tutte le fasi del suo ciclo di vita, dal ritrovamento alla conservazione all’interno di un museo e dalla digitalizzazione alla fruizione, considerando il reperto come un prodotto fisico che passa attraverso l'elaborazione e la conservazione digitale.
Grazie al Prototipo Virtuale e all’Eco-Sistema del Bene Culturale, tutto questo è possibile.
Gli studi condotti hanno permesso di porre al centro il reperto storico e il visitatore, permettendo a entrambi di usufruire di tutti gli strumenti a disposizione per valorizzarsi reciprocamente all’interno del nuovo ambiente: l’Eco-Sistema del Bene Culturale.
Questo lavoro di tesi, grazie agli studi svolti sulla digitalizzazione ed alle varie installazioni create e testate con gli utenti avvalendosi dell’intera metodologia sviluppata, ha permesso di ottenere risultati innovativi, soprattutto nell’utilizzo delle tecnologie per garantire, dal punto di vista del reperto, la valorizzazione, preservazione, conservazione, che si riflettono in engagement, accessibilità, interattività a visitatori di diversa formazione socio-culturale e contesto.Museums today have taken on a new meaning, they are no longer just places dedicated to the conservation and exhibition of collections and artworks, but represent one of the privileged means of communication to spread culture and make it accessible to the widest possible public. Thanks to the emergence of the philosophy of the "new museology", the relationship between museums, places of art, society and the community has profoundly changed, gradually reducing the present division between culture treated in a classical way and new channels of communication introduced with the spread of technology.
There are numerous interventions aimed at creating strategies and tools to preserve and disseminate the entire heritage, especially where it is fragile and deteriorable, but so far no structured methodological approach has been developed for the efficient management of cultural heritage.
In fact, the profound changes due to the digital transformation and the renewed centrality of the user must be tackled with a rationally and fully organized approach, which considers the historical find in all phases of its life cycle, from discovery to conservation within a museum and from digitization to fruition, considering the find as a physical product that passes through digital processing and preservation.
Thanks to the Virtual Prototype and the Eco-System of Cultural Heritage, all this is possible.
The studies carried out have made it possible to place the historical find and the visitor at the centre, allowing both to take advantage of all the tools available to enhance each other within the new environment: the Eco-System of Cultural Heritage.
This thesis work, thanks to the studies carried out on digitization and the various installations created and tested with the users using the entire methodology developed, has allowed to obtain innovative results, especially in the use of technologies to ensure from the point of view of the find enhancement, preservation, conservation, which are reflected in engagement, accessibility, interactivity to visitors of different socio-cultural training and context
Spatial Augmented Reality: An application for human work in smart manufacturing environment
No full textSpatial Augmented reality (SAR) represents a key technology for the development of smart manufacturing as it is barrier free, does not require the use of Head Mounted Displays or any other wearable devices and it fits most of the industrial constraints. The paper presents a novel SAR-based system to support the manual work in future smart factories. It conveys technical instructions during assembly, provides alerts in case of risks for humans' safety and finally identifies which postures can bring to muscoloscheletric problems if repeated. Experiments with 30 participants demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed SAR-based system as compared LED monitor-based system and the overall achieved usability. The results proved that SAR technology improves the operators' performance with respect to a LED monitor-based system and that users well accept it. We found that SAR is more effective for difficult tasks than for simple one
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
