Design artigianale di gemme e gioielli fra ispirazione e disegno creativo | Handcrafted design of gems and jewels between inspiration and creative drawing
No full textLa pandemia di COVID-19 ha stravolto le nostre
vite e le routine giornaliere che avevamo
sempre dato per scontate. La scelta di outfits e di
gioielli per le continue e differenti occasioni sociali
è stata attualmente ridimensionata a quella
domestica o di immediata prospicienza. Da ciò
è scaturito un consumo da parte dei fruitori di
accessori più artigianali e con una minore dipendenza
dalla Global value chain. L’artigianato, difatti, si è dimostrato più resiliente allo
shock pandemico. All’interno di queste attuali
premesse, l’analisi spaziale dei luoghi e delle testimonianze
figurative presenti nel Complesso
archeologico-monumentale paleocristiano di
Cimitile ha proposto uno spunto di ricerca per
la formulazione di proposte progettuali nel campo
del fashion design, con particolare attenzione
all’ambito del disegno ornamentale e alle metodiche
del disegno di moda del gioiello, e una promozione
di valorizzazione dei luoghi attualmente
‘abbandonati’ dai flussi turistici, specialmente
quelli immediatamente prossimi alle nostre residenze.The COVID-19 pandemic upset our lives and
the daily routines we had always taken for
granted. The choice of outfits and jewels for the
continuous and different social occasions has
currently been reduced to the domestic one or to
those of immediate prospect. This has resulted
in a consumption by users of more artisanal
accessories and with less dependence on the
Global value chain. In fact, the Crafts proved
more resilient to the pandemic shock. Within
these current premises, the spatial analysis of the
places and of the figurative testimonies present in
the Paleochristian Archaeological-Monumental
Complex of Cimitile has proposed a starting
point for research for the formulation of project
proposals in the field of fashion design, with
particular attention to the sphere of ornamental
design and the methods of jewelery fashion design,
and a promotion of enhancement of places
currently ‘abandoned’ by tourist flows, especially
those immediately next to our residences
Smart clothing n’ maxi-jewels
No full textDa ogni crisi globale la moda ha tirato fuori il
volto della sensibilità comune, portando alla luce
le esigenze e i desideri di una società che, di volta
in volta, ha dovuto ridefinire priorità e identità.
In tal senso, l’emergenza COVID-19 ha generato
un’evoluzione del rito della vestizione per
cui non ci si veste più in base all’occasione ma in
funzione di un’esigenza più generale di comfort
e libertà di movimento: outdoor e indoor si fondono
sulla scia dello smart working verso un altrettanto
smart clothing che combina sportswear
e abbigliamento formale. Sullo sfondo di questo
abbigliamento passepartout che prescinde dal
dress code, l’accessorio diventa protagonista indiscusso,
un vero e proprio gioiello da esibire in
formato maxi. L’attuale crisi economica ha visto
crescere l’importanza dei gioielli d’alta gamma
che nel 2020 hanno consolidato il proprio ruolo
di beni-rifugio: i giacimenti di smeraldi, diamanti
e rubini sono risorse esauribili, e proprio per
la loro crescente rarità hanno rappresentato un
ottimo investimento “di emergenza” nell’ultimo
anno.After every global crisis, fashion has brought
out the face of common sensibility, bringing to
light the needs and desires of a society that, from
time to time, has had to redefine its priorities and
identity. In this sense, the COVID-19 emergency
has generated an evolution in the ritual of
dressing as we no longer dress according to the
occasion but to a more general need for comfort
and freedom of movement: outdoor and indoor
merge in the wake of smart working towards
a smart clothing that combines sportswear
and formal wear. Against the backdrop of this
passepartout clothing that is independent of the
dress code, the accessory becomes the undisputed
protagonist, a real jewel to be shown off in maxi
format. The current economic crisis has seen
an increase in the importance of high-end
jewelry, which in 2020 has consolidated its role
as a safe haven asset: the deposits of emeralds,
diamonds and rubies are exhaustible resources,
and precisely because of their increasing rarity
they have represented an excellent “emergency”
investment in the last year
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
