Results of an European Project for preservation of UNESCO Cultural Hertiga in Georgia and Lebanon
No full textWAR FREE WORLD HERITAGE LISTED CITIES project has been designed and co-financed within the framework of the EC ENP Instrument through the CIUDAD program and arises from an international cooperation among the Council of the United Municipalities of Byblos (Lebanon), the Head of the Board of the City of Mtskheta (Georgia), the World Association for the protection of Tangible and Intangible Cultural Heritage in times of armed conficts – WATCH (Italy) and the University of Bologna (Italy). The project focuses on urban and regional planning for cities that are registered in the World Heritage List and located in critical areas being exposed to the threats of conflict and natural hazards such as earthquakes or flood. As case studies, Risk Preparedness Plans and Risk Mitigation measures have been defined for the cities of Byblos and Mtskheta abiding with the Guidelines issued in 2009 by UNESCO for the implementation of the Second Protocol of the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Properties in times of armed conflicts. During its thirty months of duration, the project has developed a strategy to create the required conditions for both Byblos and Mtskheta to be candidates for enhanced protection status to UNESCO
An European Project for the Preservation of UNESCO Cultural Heritage

Un progetto europeo per la salvaguardia dei siti Unesco Patrimonio Mondiale dell’Umanità: un piano di gestione del rischio per i siti di Mtskheta e Byblos
No full textIl progetto War Free World Heritage Listed Cities si occupa della pianificazione urbana e della mitigazione del rischio per siti culturali che fanno parte della Lista dei Patrimoni dell’Umanità. All’interno di tale progetto, il nostro gruppo di ricerca si è concentrato sullo sviluppo di una metodologia innovativa destinata a elaborare piani concernenti le misure di mitigazione del rischio e di successiva valorizzazione. Questi hanno come riferimento quanto richiesto dalla normativa internazionale e considerano il bene culturale come un sistema complesso e aperto capace di assorbire uno shock improvviso e inaspettato. Sono state scelte due città come casi di studio (Byblos in Libano e Mtskheta in Georgia), ma il metodo è applicabile a un qualsiasi bene in pericolo: infatti, elaborando i dati ottenuti attraverso il sopralluogo dell’ottobre 2013, sono state prodotte schede descrittive e tabelle riassuntive del degrado e della valutazione del rischio che, tenendo in considerazione tutte le possibili variabili, rendono il metodo universale. Tale analisi della vulnerabilità del sito culturale in esame consente, inoltre, di determinare gli eventuali rischi cui questo può essere sottoposto e, conseguentemente, di proporre un piano che fornisca linee guida e suggerimenti circa le azioni preventive di mitigazione, le operazioni da svolgere nel momento di crisi e quelle riguardanti la gestione della post-emergenza.
Il nostro intervento, attraverso gli esempi del lavoro svolto per i due casi di studio, intende dunque analizzare la metodologia sviluppata. In particolare, per Mtskheta, s’intende fornire una spiegazione dettagliata del metodo di lavoro, mentre per Byblos si ritiene opportuno fornire informazioni sul piano di mitigazione del rischio integrato a quello di valorizzazione appositamente pensato per il sito archeologico della città

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
