Declinare dall'interno gli spazi per la salute della comunità. Il progetto del Kentish Town Health Centre a Londra (Allford Hall Monaghan Morris)
No full textIl contributo proposto si inserisce all'interno di un'ampia ricerca sul tema del progetto architettonico degli Health Centre (in Italia Case della Salute, ora Case della Comunità con il PNRR), strutture di assistenza sanitaria, socio-sanitaria e sociale collocate in contesti vicini ai luoghi in cui i cittadini vivono, comparabili per dimensione ai poliambulatori, ma aperti alla comunità tramite l'integrazione di spazi per la promozione e prevenzione della salute, intesa come benessere psicofisico delle persone. Nel progetto di ricerca 'Coltivare_Salute.com' lo studio di best practices internazionali ha permesso di delineare elementi comuni a differenti progetti, quali la qualità dello spazio interno, la relazione con lo spazio pubblico urbano e con il costruito esistente, l'integrazione di altri servizi pubblici. Si vuole approfondire qui un carattere specifico, ovvero l'apertura alla città e l'accoglienza della comunità (singoli,
associazioni, scuole) interpretata a partire da spazialità interne che declinano relazioni urbane. Questo approccio è ben esemplificato dal progetto del Kentish Town Health Centre di Londra dello studio di architettura britannico Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, vincitore nel 2009 del Riba Award for Architecture, esposto alla Biennale di Architettura di Venezia nel 2012 e citato, nel 2013, dalle linee guida del National Health System britannico per la progettazione delle strutture di sanità primaria. Un nuovo edificio, un unico volume che involve dentro di sé spazialità urbane disegnando una sorta di strada interna che accoglie le persone, attorno alla quale si apre un ricco sistema di spazi e funzioni che tagliano la massa dell'edificio per aprire molteplici relazioni con la luce naturale e con l'esterno a diverse altezze e prospettive. Gli spazi interni ospitano una variegata possibilità di esperienze per chi frequenta il centro: passeggiare, aspettare, attraversare, frequentare, consultare, prendersi una pausa, comunicare... un panorama di azioni di appropriazione spaziale che conformano lo spazio stesso, interpretando la varietà di servizi legati alla salute, al benessere, alla socialità e alla cultura della comunità.The contribution is part of a wider research on the topic of the architectural design of Health Centres (in Italy, Case della Salute, now Case della Comunità with the PNRR), health, social and socio-medical assistance structures located in contexts close to the places where citizens live, comparable in size to outpatient clinics, but open to the community through the integration of spaces for the promotion and prevention of health, understood as people's psychophysical well-being. In the "Coltivare_Salute.com" research project, the study of international best practices has made it possible to outline elements
common to different projects, such as the quality of the interior space, the relationship with the urban public space and with the existing built environment, and the integration of other public services. We would like to focus here on a specific feature, namely the openness to the city and the welcoming of the community (individuals, associations, schools) interpreted on the basis of internal spaces that decline urban relations. This approach is well exemplified
by the design of the Kentish Town Health Centre in London by the British architectural studio Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, winner in 2009 of the Riba Award for Architecture, exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2012 and cited in 2013 by the British National Health System guidelines for the design of primary health care facilities. A new building, a single volume that involves urban spaces within itself, drawing a sort of internal street that welcomes people, around which a rich system of spaces and functions opens up, cutting through the mass of the building to open up multiple relationships with natural light and with the outside at different heights and perspectives. The interior spaces host a variety of experiences for those who frequent the centre: walking, waiting, crossing, visiting, consulting, taking a break, communicating... a panorama of spatial appropriation actions that shape the space itself,
interpreting the variety of services related to health, well-being, sociality and community culture
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
