LA CHIESA DI SAN MICHELINO IN FORO A RIMINI: STORIA, ANALISI E PROGETTO
No full textIl saggio cerca di ricostruire la storia di un edificio di grande rilevanza storica a livello architettonico ed artistico, purtroppo sconosciuto ai più: la chiesa di San Michelino in Foro di Rimini. Dell’antica struttura, la cui origine è databile tra il IV e VI secolo, oggi è possibile vedere solo alcune porzioni, incastonate in edifici costruiti in epoche successive.
Partendo dalle fonti documentarie e bibliografiche se ne ripercorre inizialmente la storia: da chiesa di competenza templare prima e giovannita poi, fino alla soppressione ed il passaggio a proprietà privata. Si propone quindi un breve studio svolto circa gli affreschi ritrovati fortuitamente nel 1993 nell’abside della chiesa con particolare riferimento all’immagine ancora conservata di una santa databile al XIII secolo. Tramite la lettura della stratigrafia delle murature viene in seguito ricostruita la storia dell’evoluzione del manufatto a livello architettonico. Infine, dopo aver analizzato lo stato di conservazione dell’edificio, si forniscono alcune linee guida di intervento per un progetto di restauro e valorizzazione della chiesa e dell’affresco al suo interno
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
Effects of Epidermal Growth Factor on horse skin from different anatomical locations
No full textHealing can be impaired in horses depending on the anatomical location of the wound. Wounds on the limb may develop exuberant granulation tissue that does not re-epithelialize, evolving in aberrant scarring, known as “proud flesh”. This preliminary ex vivo study investigates the effects of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) on epidermal thickness and re-epithelialisation of cultured horse skin.Skin strips were obtained from a euthanized horse exempt of dermatological lesions. From the mentioned strips, six-mm full-thickness punch biopsies were obtained from body and limb skin and cultured in a serum free medium, then treated for 6 days (D): 10ng/mL or 20 ng/mL Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) either alone or with 10μg/mL Dexamethasone (DMS). Culture medium and treatments were replaced every other day. Epidermal thickness and the length of neoformed peripheral epidermis (μm) were measured at D3, D5 and D7.The higher dose of EGF modified epidermal thickness in skin from both locations at D5: a statistically significant increase was observed for body skin while a decrease was observed for limb skin. Analogously, a signifi-cant increase of the neoformed peripheral epidermis (epithelial tongue) was observed at D5 for body skin; although a decrease was seen in limb skin, it failed to reach statistical significance. Statistically significant changes were not observed at both D3 or D7.Our findings confirm the dif-ferences between body and limb skin morpho-physiology reported in horses. Moreover, while body skin responded to EGF as hypothesised, limb skin showed an unexpected response
