Smart Heritage Environment. IoT e KETs per il patrimonio storicizzato. Nuove prospettive attraverso l'analisi di best practices
No full textNella prospettiva di un’epoca di risorse scarse come quella nella quale ci troviamo ad operare, appare di fondamentale importanza valutare, all’interno di scenari in continuo cambiamento, la posizione del settore delle costruzioni nei confronti della necessaria mitigazione delle cause del cambiamento climatico, da un lato, e, dall’altro, del ruolo che le innovazioni introdotte dalla quarta rivoluzione
industriale rivestono in tale scenario.
Le tecnologie Internet of Things, insieme alle cosiddette tecnologie abilitanti, si sono in questi anni moltiplicate e sviluppate anche all’interno del settore delle costruzioni, con diverse finalità e obiettivi. Va detto però che specialmente nel campo del patrimonio storicizzato è possibile riscontrare grandi lacune, rilevando la pressoché totale assenza di relazioni fra la definizione di Cultural Heritage (CH) ed il concetto di “intelligenza” (smartness); anche le interazioni tra i due domini risultano quanto mai scarse, nonostante la grande incidenza dello stock edilizio raggruppabile sotto la definizione di patrimonio storico (specialmente nel contesto italiano) nell’implementazione di strategie realmente efficaci per la mitigazione delle cause del cambiamento climatico.
Il presente contributo si propone pertanto di individuare, attraverso l’analisi di una serie di “casi-studio” riferibili all’applicazione, in termini generali, delle suddette tecnologie a progetti di riqualificazione energetica-ambientale e/o recupero di edifici storici, approcci innovativi specifici per il Cultural Heritage.In view of an era of scarce resources, such as the current age, it is of paramount importance to evaluate, within constantly evolving scenarios, the position of the construction sector towards the necessary mitigation of the causes of climate change, so as the role that the innovations introduced by the fourth industrial revolution play in this scenario. Internet of Things technologies, together with the so-called Key Enabling Technologies, have recently multiplied and developed also within the building sector, with different purposes and objectives. However, it must be said that especially in the field of historical buildings it is possible to find several lacks, noting the almost total absence of relationships between the definition of Cultural Heritage (CH) and the concept of smartness; interactions between the two domains are indeed very scarce despite the impact of the building stock that can be grouped under the definition of historical heritage (especially in Italy) on the implementation of truly effective strategies to mitigate climate changes. Therefore, this contribution aims to identify, through the analysis of a series of best practices referred to the application, in general terms, of the aforementioned technologies to projects of energy-environmental requalification and/or recovery of historic buildings, specific approaches and innovations for Cultural Heritage
L’importanza della valutazione dinamica videoendoscopica, manometrica e videofluoroscopica nella distrofia muscolare oculofaringea
No full textTechnology as enabling interface within transition spaces for the smart Heritage [La tecnologia come interfaccia abilitante negli spazi di transizione per lo smart Heritage]
No full textL’attuale e sempre più frequente deriva tecnocratica riconosce un potere indiscriminato a tecniche e tecnologie nella risoluzione di numerose problematiche, tra cui la battaglia al cambiamento climatico e al suo impatto sulle città. Una delle sfide future riguarda l’applicazione efficace e consapevole di Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) per la creazione di smart environment nel patrimonio storico, detentore di un ruolo strategico, oltre che per i valori conservativi, anche nella più ampia strategia per limitare le emissioni di gas serra climalteranti. Il contributo qui proposto riporta alcuni risultati preliminari di una ricerca volta a indagare e riconoscere a tali tecnologie un possibile ruolo di medium abilitante per intraprendere scelte deterministiche più consapevoli nel campo del Cultural Heritage (CH).The current and increasingly intensive technocratic drift recognises the indiscriminate power of techniques in solving several problems, including the struggle against climate change and its impact on cities. One of the future challenges concerns the effective and conscious application of KETs for the creation of smart environments in historical heritage, which plays a strategic role for its conservative values, but also in the broader strategy for limiting greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed paper reports some preliminary results of a research aimed at investigating and acknowledging these technologies as an enabling medium to undertake more informed deterministic choices in the field of CH

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
