No full textTerritorial capital and firm performance: evidence from the Italian regions
No full textIl presente studio si propone di analizzare se – e in che modo – la coesistenza di diverse risorse locali, tangibili ed intangibili, all’interno di un territorio – ovvero il capitale territoriale – influenza la performance d’impresa. L’analisi adotta un approccio metodologico misto, basato su tecniche econometriche di dati panel con un campione di imprese locate nelle venti regioni Italiane ed interviste semi-strutturate con imprenditori e manager del Nord e Sud Italia. I risultati dimostrano che il capitale territoriale è un’im-
portante fonte di produttività e di vantaggio competitivo per le imprese, con effetti variabili tra diverse aree geografiche e settori economici. Il concetto di capitale territoriale fornisce nuovi spunti per comprendere in che modo il territorio influenza la produttività e la competitività d’impresa.The aim of this study is to investigate whether and how the coexistence of different tangible and intangible ‘local resources’,1 conceptualized in the form of territorial capital, affects the performance of firms. The study draws upon a mixed method approach, based on panel data econometric techniques with a sample of Italian firms and semi structured interviews with entrepreneurs in two Italian regions. Findings show that territorial capital is an important source of firm productivity and competitive advantage, with varying effects across geographical areas and sectors. The concept of territorial capital provides new insights into understanding sources of firm productivity and competitiveness in its relationship with location
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
L’OT nella prospettiva di un’analisi costi-benefici sul settore spazio: i satelliti Cosmo-Skymed dell’ASI
No full textNell’ultimo decennio, un crescente numero di immagini satellitari ad alta risoluzione si è reso accessibile per amministrazioni pubbliche, policymakers e scienziati, incrementando la quantità e la qualità di informazioni disponibili. L’osservazione terrestre fornisce informazioni preziose sia al settore pubblico che a quello privato, consentendo di affrontare – al tempo stesso e con strumenti nuovi – sfide sociali globali come il cambiamento climatico e l’inquinamento dell’aria o applicazioni locali quali l’implementazione di tecniche di agricoltura di precisione e monitoraggio delle infrastrutture urbane e di trasporto.
Il presente articolo si propone, attraverso lo studio della letteratura che utilizza dati di osservazione terrestre e un’analisi bibliografica relativa a Cosmo SkyMed (CSM), di aprire la strada ad una efficace valutazione dell’impatto socioeconomico dell’attività dell’Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI) con riguardo alla creazione di prodotti e servizi innovativi generati dall’Osservazione Terrestre. Buona parte dei benefici legati alla disponibilità di dati di osservazione della terra restano potenziali, inespressi e sottovalutati. La presente analisi prevede l’identificazione delle barriere organizzative e istituzionali che limitano il pieno sfruttamento delle informazioni da dati OT, così come la formulazione di solide raccomandazioni di policy al fine di valorizzare il settore downstream spaziale italiano, soprattutto in materia di economia pubblica e fiscal compliance (e.g. accertamento degli abusivismi edilizi)

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Il senatore Cornelio Pusione e la sua domus. Novità dagli scavi della metro C a Roma
No full textA new fistula aquaria, found, during the works for the construction of the metro line C, in the garden of a private house to be dated around the middle of the I century AD, in Rome, on the Caelius hill, re-opens the problem of the location of the domus belonging to L. Cornelius Pusio. The house of this senator was traditionally located in the area of via IV Novembre, where a bronze dedication was found, together with a portrait. But the suspect that these findings were not in their original location is now confirmed by the new discovery
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
Label-Free Quantitative Proteomics to Explore the Action Mechanism of the Pharmaceutical-Grade Triticum vulgare Extract in Speeding up Keratinocyte Healing
No full textPlant extracts have shown beneficial properties in terms of skin repair, promoting wound healing through a plethora of mechanisms. In particular, the poly-/oligosaccharidic aqueous extract of Triticum vulgare (TVE), as well as TVE-based products, shows interesting biological assets, hastening wound repair. Indeed, TVE acts in the treatment of tissue regeneration mainly on decubitus and venous leg ulcers. Moreover, on scratched monolayers, TVE prompts HaCat cell migration, correctly modulating the expression of metalloproteases toward a physiological matrix remodeling. Here, using the same HaCat-based in vitro scratch model, the TVE effect has been investigated thanks to an LFQ proteomic analysis of HaCat secretomes and immunoblotting. Indeed, the unbiased TVE effect on secreted proteins has not yet been fully understood, and it could be helpful to obtain a comprehensive picture of its bio-pharmacological profile. It has emerged that TVE treatment induces significant up-regulation of several proteins in the secretome (153 to be exact) whereas only a few were down-regulated (72 to be exact). Interestingly, many of the up-regulated proteins are implicated in promoting wound-healing-related processes, such as modulating cell–cell interaction and communication, cell proliferation and differentiation, and prompting cell adhesion and migration
