L'urbe al tempo di Juliano
No full textI tifosi del Napoli spesso pensano al legame che li unisce alla squadra del cuore come qualcosa che va al di là del semplice reame sportivo. A torto o a ragione, l’identificazione tra i calciatori, la comunità di tifosi e la città verso cui i supporter in genere avvertono un intenso senso di appartenenza alimenta la rappresentazione di un destino condiviso tra le vicende sportive e quelle cittadine più generali. La squadra e i suoi protagonisti vengono spesso caricati di contenuti più ampi, e – almeno all’interno di una retorica molto diffusa e accreditata – diventano i depositari di speranze e propositi di affermazione e successo non solo calcistici. Una passione e un luogo dell’immaginario che oltrepassa le differenze di ceto dei suoi sostenitori, ed è difficile trovare qualcosa capace di suscitare nei napoletani un simile trasporto e un simil
Strategie di sviluppo prodotto, competenze per l'innovazione e la posta in gioco nella scelta di localizzazione dell'head-quarter Fiat-Chrysler
No full textL’articolo analizza le prospettive per il sistema produttivo italiano a valle dell’acquisizione di Chrysler da parte di Fiat, focalizzando l’attenzione sull’eventualità di una nuova divisione internazionale del lavoro concernente le attività direzionali del gruppo Fiat-Chrysler. L’analisi si focalizza sulle relazione tra localizzazione delle funzioni direttive, di ingegneria e di ricerca avanzata e lo sviluppo delle competenze chiave per sviluppare prodotti di successo. La tesi sostenuta nell’articolo è che il probabile spostamento dei centri decisionali di Fiat dall’Italia agli USA possa fortemente penalizzare lo sviluppo di competenze ingegneristiche e manageriali in Italia, non solo della Fiat, ma anche dei settori a più alto valore aggiunto, dai fornitori di ingegneria, a fornitori di componenti e sistemi complessi, all’intero sistema della ricerca pubblico-privato
Industrial action and working conditions in a green field site: the case of the FIAT-SATA assembly plant in southern Italy
No full textThis article analyses working conditions in the case of the Societa Automobilistica Tecnologia Avanzata (FIAT-SATA) assembly plant in southern Italy. It starts by reconstructing the reasons for building the new assembly plant in Melfi and the principles of the models of work organisation called 'integrated factory' and 'modular factory'. The analysis of working conditions is developed beginning from the reconstruction of the characteristics of the factory and of the organisational model. The research conducted noted the relationship between working conditions and the health risks that involve a large number of 'Workers with Reduced Work Capacity'. The article underlines the relationship between working conditions and industrial relations. Factory-level bargaining is analysed, from the participative model to the long strike of Spring 2004 with important implications for the improvement of working conditions
Diseguaglianze digitali: l’età nel modello di accesso e uso delle ICT in Italia
No full textIl saggio presenta prima un quadro statistico descrittivo delle differenze di accesso e delle capacità d’uso del computer e di internet tra i diversi gruppi d’età in Italia. Successivamente saranno presentati e discussi i risultati di una survey relativa ai fattori che incidono sull’uso del computer tra le persone adulte e anziane (con 50 anni ed oltre). A partire da queste analisi, in conclusione, saranno discusse alcune tesi relative alla riproduzione delle diseguaglianze digitali, con particolare attenzione all’incidenza del fattore età
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
