No full textMonICA – a model project for einkorn reintroduction
No full textEinkorn (Triticum monococcum L. subsp. monococcum) was an outstanding contributor to the development of agriculture and to the diet of our ancestors, but since the bronze age its fortunes declined and nowadays it is cropped and eaten only in limited and scattered spots within its original distribution area. After millenia of neglect, recent researches rediscovered the outstanding nutritional characteristics of this crop and suggested that einkorn can still play a relevant role in modern agriculture and food industry.
As a primer for future developments, within its “2006 Plan for Research and Development” Regione Lombardia (Italy) fostered a two-years research project titled “Monococco per l’Innovazione Cerealicola ed Alimentare” (i.e. Einkorn for Cereals and Food Innovation), whose acronym is MonICA. Partners in the project were the “Fondazione Pianura Bresciana”, the “Consiglio per la Ricerca e la Sperimentazione in Agricoltura”, with the two research units QCE and SCV, the University of Milan, with the DiSTAM department (now DeFENS), and the private Cooperative “L’Antica Terra”.
General objective of the project was the development of a regional production chain for the transformation of einkorn and the manufacturing of foods (bread and other oven products, pasta, etc.) with high nutritional value. To this end, it was necessary to perform a detailed analysis of the agronomic, nutritional and technologic characteristics of T. monococcum, to identify lines suitable for modern agriculture and with good attitude for food production.
Specific objectives were the agronomic and compositional characterisation of four einkorn advanced lines cropped in four different environments over two years, the definition of specific manufacturing processes for parboiled seeds as well as for bread, pasta and bakery products, the analysis of the evolution of antioxidant compounds and of heat damage indices during manufacturing and on the end products, the in vitro evaluation of coeliac sensitivity and the transfer of such know-how to farmers and food industries in a Lombardy core-area (Brescia plain).

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
