Astrid Lindgren: cent'anni di storie ed emozioni.
No full textNell'intervento (Astrid Lindgren: cent'anni di storie ed emozioni) si evidenziano le caratteristiche di contenuto e di scrittura che hanno fatto della scrittrice svedese Astrid Lindgren un'innovatrice della letteratura per l'infanzia e l'adolescenza. Ed in questa sua originalità sta il segreto della sua "attualità", cioé del suo essere ancora amata dai bambini e dai ragazzi non solo come autrice di Pippi Calzelunghe, ma anche di altri romanzi veramente unici, inimitabili e senza tempo
Rileggendo Astrid Lindgren. Percorsi critici e itinerari interpretativi.
No full textNel volume i saggi della curatrice Silvia BLEZZA Picherle, per un totale di 113 PAGINE, sono QUATTRO.
Il volume, che germoglia dal fertile terreno del Convegno Nazionale su Astrid Lindgren tenutosi a Verona presso la Facoltà di Scienze della Formazione il 24 e il 25 marzo 2007, in occasione del centenario dalla nascita della scrittrice, non si configura come un'opera commemorativa, bensì come un percorso interpretativo polifonico, il PRIMO in Italia, sull'opera dell'autrice svedese. Gli studiosi, molti dei quali non presenti al convegno, hanno inteso evidenziare gli elementi di contenuto e di stile che connotano l'opera della scrittrice e danno ragione della sua attualità.

Lindgren; il rapporto tra tradizione e innovazione; l'originale rappresentazione dei personaggi bambini e adulti; le grandi tematiche e i valori; la voce della natura; gli illustratori di A.

Bayesian Spatial Modelling with R-INLA
No full textThe principles behind the interface to continuous domain spatial models in the R- INLA software package for R are described. The integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) approach proposed by Rue, Martino, and Chopin (2009) is a computationally effective alternative to MCMC for Bayesian inference. INLA is designed for latent Gaussian models, a very wide and flexible class of models ranging from (generalized) linear mixed to spatial and spatio-temporal models. Combined with the stochastic partial differential equation approach (SPDE, Lindgren, Rue, and Lindström 2011), one can accommodate all kinds of geographically referenced data, including areal and geostatistical ones, as well as spatial point process data. The implementation interface covers stationary spatial mod- els, non-stationary spatial models, and also spatio-temporal models, and is applicable in epidemiology, ecology, environmental risk assessment, as well as general geostatistics

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
Dravidian dataset for the Lindgren (2023) study
No full textDataset on Dravidian languages, focusing on Tulu, accompanying the master's thesis of Lindgren (2023). Includes data from the author's fieldwork, contributions from other authors, and data adapted from the Kolipakam et al. (2018) study.
The author collected a set of lexical items for comparative analysis to address the classification of Tulu, Koraga, and Bellari within the Dravidian language family. This dataset included 114 comparative concepts previously collected for the study of Bellari (Bhat, 1971), the Leipzig-Jakarta list of lexical items, a subset of the 100-word Swadesh list not present in the Leipzig-Jakarta list, and counting words from 1 to 10, and a more extensive list of pronouns, totalling 231 comparative concepts. Word lists were gathered from various sources, including grammars and dictionaries, for Bellari (Bhat, 1971), four Koraga varieties (Onti, Tappu, and Mudu from Bhat, 1971; Ande from Shetty, 2008), Kannada (Kittel, 1894; Učida, Rajapurohit & Takashima, 2018; Spencer, 1950; Zydenbos, 2011; Sridhar, 1990), Malayalam (Moag & Moag, 1967; Asher & Kumari, 1967; Sudha, 1984; Jiang, 2010), Tamil (Borin et al., 2013), Byari (Upadhyaya, 2011), and Pattapu (IRA, 2013), and three Tulu varieties. The Tulu word lists included those from M. M. Bhat (1967), a dictionary of Tulu including words from multiple dialects, a Madhwa Brahmin wordlist collected from Bhatt (1971), and a wordlist from data collected through the author's fieldwork. Data for several other languages, namely Telugu, Koya, Kolami, Gondi, Parji, Ollari Gadba, Kuwi, Kurukh, Malto, Brahui, Yeruva, Kodava, Badga, Toda, Kota, and Betta Kurumba, were included from Kolipakam et al. (2018), as well as additional data for Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, and Tulu from the same source. The latter’s Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, and Tulu wordlists were added as separate doculects.
Concepts not given in Concepticon are marked by an initial asterisk (e.g., "*BETEL LEAF"). Most of these are concepts distinguishing pronouns in the languages, such as marking distinctions between remote and proximate (e.g., "*3SG.I.R" and "*3SG.I.P"), which the author considered essential for comparing the languages also due to the conservativeness of some forms and phonemes (e.g., the presence of /a/ for remote and /i/ for proximate in most languages). The labels for pronoun concepts not given in Concepticon are built with the following constituents:
"2SG" : second singular
"3PL" : third plural
"3SG" : third singular
"A" : animate
"F" : female
"H" : honorific
"I" : inanimate
"M" : male
"P" : proximate
"R" : remote

"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
