La quinta edizione del Premio Internazionale di Restauro Architettonico “DOMUS Restauro e Conservazione Fassa Bortolo”
No full textIl Premio Domus, Restauro e Preservazione, voluto ed ideato dall’Università degli Studi di Ferrara e promosso dall’azienda Fassa Bortolo S.r.l., è arrivato alla Quinta Edizione. Fin dai suoi albori ha rappresentato un importante momento d’incontro tra le eccellenze nel campo del restauro, della riqualificazione e del recupero architettonico e paesaggistico a livello internazionale. Quest’anno il panorama dei progetti che hanno preso parte alle selezioni si è esteso a tutte le parti del mondo.
Dopo il successo ottenuto nelle prime quattro edizioni si è reputato opportuno suddividere in due momenti distinti il premio: in modo biennale si alternano la sezione relativa ai progetti elaborati come Tesi di Laurea, Master, Dottorato e Specializzazione, ai quali viene quindi dato maggior valore con una giuria ed una premiazione assestanti, e l’anno seguente quella relativa alle Opere Realizzate. Il 2016 vede in gara i progetti costruiti negli ultimi 10 anni e ha visto la partecipazione di 84 progetti, provenienti oltre che dall’Italia, Germania, Svizzera e Spagna, anche da altri paesi extraeuropei, tra i più lontani Cile, Giappone, Brasile
Digital Tools for Documentation and Analysis of Vernacular Cultural Heritage in Indian City Centers
No full textThe vernacular historic cities can be defined as an ensemble of local needs and construction materials-based architectures which reflects local traditions and cultures. Very often adaptive processes for sustaining settlements such as the vernacular ones are based on both sustainable resources and cultural practices. This set of indigenous, ecological, biological, and cultural characteristics make vernacular historic cities valuable place for the valorization of local cultures and intangible heritage. Nowadays, dealing with the challenging task of heritage preservation in emerging countries, technologies are very often economically uncompetitive if used without the right methodology and a proper use. This study highlights the application of digital technologies for the documentation of historic city centers in fragile contexts such as global south countries by a deep case studies analysis of the Indian old cities of Ahmedabad and Jodhpur. The main aim of the research was to evaluate accuracy requirement and assess digital tools for heritage preservation end enhancement. By means of affordable use of digital technologies, the research stressed the existence of a strong relation between sustainable economy development and cultural heritage preservation even through capacity building activities carried out on field
Historic City Centres. La città blu di Jodhpur in Rajasthan, India
No full textLa storica città di Jodhpur può essere uno straordinario laboratorio di progettazione per sperimentare un recupero progressivo e consapevole ma anche una modalità di valorizzazione (in termini di alloggi, turismo, cultura). La ricerca che si sviluppa a partire da questi workshop nella CEPT Winter School in collaborazione con il Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università degli studi di Ferrara è un possibile percorso verso questo riconoscimento.
La creazione di un Jodhpur Box e la sua capacità di innescare una coscienza attiva è un’opportunità. Se sarà tradotto in Hindi e inserito nei luoghi principali del tessuto storico interagirà con la popolazione e migliorerà la comprensione del valore culturale e la straordinaria qualità dello spazio della città storica e dei suoi componenti. Una contaminazione di importanti conoscenze

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
