Optical-absorption spectra of crystal-field transitions in MnPS3 at low temperatures
No full textThe manganese thiophosphate (MnPS3) optical-absorption spectrum has been investigated as a function of temperature from 300 down to 10 K in the visible region. With decreasing temperature, the fundamental absorption edge shifts towards higher energies without changing its shape and an additional subband-gap feature appears. This structure has been attributed to transitions between the Mn2+ third excited state and the ground state. All the subband-gap structures exhibit a small temperature shift, in good agreement both with the crystal-field theory and with the so-called transition-metal weakly interacting model. The temperature dependence of the crystal-field parameters Dq, B, and C has been determined from the transition energies. These results support the hypothesis that MnPS3 is to be considered an ioniclike compound, as already suggested in the literature
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
“L’armonia delle diversità”. Educazione musicale interculturale nella scuola dell’infanzia
No full textLa sfida educativa dell’Intercultura nella Scuola richiede ai docenti di fondare sempre più incisivamente le metodologie sulla comunicazione, la cooperazione e la partecipazione degli studenti per favorire l’incontro di tutte le culture presenti in classe. In questo contributo, viene riportata una esemplificazione di attività didattica per offrire ai bambini e alle bambine che frequentano la scuola dell'infanzia gli strumenti di base per comprendere e apprezzare il macrocosmo delle diversità
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
