La biblioteca manoscritta greca di Achille Stazio
Full text linkLa presente ricerca mira alla ricostruzione della parte manoscritta greca della biblioteca appartenuta ad Achille Stazio (1524-1581), giunta alla chiesa di S. Maria e S. Gregorio in Vallicella per volontà testamentaria dell’illustre umanista portoghese e, perciò, nucleo fondativo dell’attuale Biblioteca Vallicelliana di Roma. Fonte primaria per l’individuazione dei codici vallicelliani provenienti dal lascito staziano è il reperimento delle postille marginali di mano del lusitano, il riconoscimento delle quali è possibile grazie a un’analisi paleografica fondata sul confronto con alcuni materiali sicuramente autografi. Il contenuto delle unità codicologiche individuate per mezzo dello spoglio sistematico del fondo manoscritto greco della Biblioteca Vallicelliana è quindi confrontato con le voci presenti negli antichi inventari relativi alla libraria di Stazio. I dati ricavati dall’analisi codicologica e paleografica dei manoscritti di provenienza staziana sono raccolti in schede descrittive e rielaborati alla luce delle informazioni desumibili dalla bibliografia, da materiale d’archivio e dalla comparazione con fondi librari analoghi. Le nuove acquisizioni emerse dallo studio dei codici consentono notevoli precisazioni sulla biblioteca e sui metodi di lavoro di Stazio, nonché di chiarire la storia di alcuni manoscritti vallicelliani e, più in generale, della Biblioteca Vallicelliana ai suoi primordi
Tecnologia critica e didattica museale. Il progetto Erasmus+ DICHE
No full textThe present paper describes the activities foreseen by the Erasmus+ project DICHE
(Digital Innovation in Cultural and Heritage Education in the light of 21st century
learning) carried out by LPS (Laboratory of Experimental Research) and CDM
(Centre of Museum Education) research group – University Roma TRE. The DICHE
project’s aim is to integrate digital resources and opportunities in primary education in
general, and in cultural and heritage education in particular. This way, children have
the opportunity to develop their transversal skills like Creativity, Communication, Collaboration
and Critical Thinking. Moreover, teachers, prospective teachers and museum
educators are educated about the use of digital tools in order to promote the design
of innovative teaching methods in cultural and heritage education
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
Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia and Ollier's disease: Combined transfrontal and transfacial resection using the nasal-cheek flap
No full textFibrous dysplasia and Ollier's disease (skeletal chondromatosis) are bone lesions that result from disorders occurring during ossification. Here we report on a patient suffering from Ollier's disease in whom polyostotic fibrous dysplasia was detected. The main problem for this 20-year-old man was a nasoethmoidorbital cartilaginous mass causing nasal obstruction, nonreducible eye proptosis, and sleep apnea. The lesion was approached by means of a combined route, ie, transfrontally and transfacially (nasal-cheek flap). The possible pathogenetic links existing between the two lesions and the problems involved in surgical treatment are discussed
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
