    L'ABATE LETTERATO CHERSINO GIOVANNI MOISE

    Kulturna bastina lstre i Kvarnera- tocnije knjizevna bastina- danasnjim znanstvenicima nase regije nudi bogatu lepezu autora koji su se, narocito pocevsi od proslog stoljeéa, posvetili umjetnosti rijeci, stvarajuéi skup djela koja i sami !strani malo poznaju. Cilj ovog rada je prikazivanje jednog autora koji se rodi o u pros lom stoljeéu n a otoku Cresu gdje je proveo svoj zivot. Rijec je o opatu Giovanni Moise, covjeku koji je znao i umio spojiti sveéenicku djelatnost s djelatnoséu filologa, pjesnika, pisca almanaha i pedagoga. Od cjelokupnog opusa ove osebujne li cnosti ovaj se rad bavi pjesnickim ostvarenjima i to najvise malim alegorijskim epom Abdalaahova vizija. Zanimljivo je da se taj ep, za razliku od istarskog pjesni stva Ollocenta, ne istice nacionalnim i rodoljubnim momentom i ne izrazava " l' in sul arità e la mediten·aneità", sto karakteri zira primorske zemlje. Osim toga rad prikazuje godi snj ake (lunare) koje, je Moise napisao s odredenom svrhom: kulturno uzdi zati svoje sugradane, cime je zasluzio najveée pri znanje voljenoga otoka.L'autore si prefigge di rivisitare uno scrittore nato e vissuto a Cherso nello scorso secolo: l'abate Giovanni Moise, filologo, poeta, lunarista e pedagogo. Ampio spazio viene riservato alla sua opera più interessante, il poemetto allegorico «Visione di Abdalaah»

    Francesco Moise e le poesie della bugia: un'edizione bresciana del 1610

    Il contributo prende in esame la raccolta di sonetti caudati 'Bugie, capricci fantastichi, veri non veri, di diverse fantasie' di Francesco Moise Chersino, stampata a Brescia nel 1610 da Bartolomeo Fontana. Opera singolare per il panorama editoriale bresciano dell’epoca, le Bugie sono lette alla luce dei precedenti letterari più affini (A.F. Doni e G.C. Croce) e soprattutto vengono analizzate con una specifica attenzione rivolta all’onomastica e alla toponomastica coeve

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    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

    Incentive policies and agricultural performance in sub-Saharan Africa

    No full text
    Exports in general, and agricultural exports in particular, are more responsive to price incentives in Sub-Saharan Africa than in developing countries.. These are the results of an econometric investigation on the effects of real exchange rates on exports. It further appears that in Sub-Saharan Africa the impact of real exchange rates is greater on agricultural exports than on the exports of goods and services. Within Sub-Saharan Africa, market-oriented countries generally gained export market shares while interventionist countries lost shares. This occurred when market-oriented, not interventionist countries, maintained realistic exchange rates and did not bias incentives against exports. For example, Kenya and the Ivory Coast exemplify market-oriented, and Tanzania and Ghana interventionist, countries. Pairwise comparisons between the Ivory Coast and Ghana have indicated the superiority of the market-oriented approach in promoting exports and agricultural production.Economic Theory&Research,TF054105-DONOR FUNDED OPERATION ADMINISTRATION FEE INCOME AND EXPENSE ACCOUNT,Export Competitiveness,Environmental Economics&Policies,Access to Markets

    Square Dancing with the Stars to Enhance Dynamic Hirschman Linkages?

    No full text
    In this Presidential Address, the author takes the reader on a reconnaissance of his life and time as a regional scientist. He points out scenery he found scintillating along the way, hoping that some may pick up the banner and chew on a few of the ideas for a while. He suggests a revisit to Albert O. Hirschman’s notion of key sectors and more empirical analysis related to Marcus Berliant’s and Masahisa Fujita’s notion of knowledge creation and transfer.Presidential Address, San Antonio, Texas, March 29, 2014 (53rd Meetings of the Southern Regional Science Association

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    No full text
    We 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
