    Late summer sowing positively affects yield of lowland buckwheat in Northeastern Italy

    There is a growing demand for Italian buckwheat production. However, Italian buckwheat is still largely cultivated in upland regions and little is known about its cultivation outside traditional growing areas. In a two-year experiment the commercial buckwheat cultivar “Lileja” was sown on three different sowing dates (May, July, August) at two plant densities (250 and 350 seeds m−2) within a split-plot design with four replicates. The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of planting date and seed rate on buckwheat yield and growth parameters. Despite a significant year effect, late summer sowing was stable between years in terms of yield, resistance to lodging and harvest index. Results from the growth analysis suggest that many growth parameters of buckwheat were affected by sowing date, with a slower biomass accumulation recorded in 2017. The findings illustrate the potential use of buckwheat as a cash crop in the lowland areas of northern Italy, when sown in August at a seed rate of 250 seeds m−2

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    PECULIARITA' DEGLI ELEMENTI POSSESSIVI DELLA LINGUA ALBANESE

    Oggetto di questo studio sono gli elementi possessivi dell'albanese, caratterizzati da una particolare morfologia che distingue tra forme semplici e forme pre-articolate e da una particolare sintassi che prevede la posizione prenominale del possessivo quando questo accompagna nomi di parentela mentre impone la posizione post-nominale in tutti gli altri casi

    Variations on the Author

    “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
