No full textThe dual demographic profile of migrants in Tuscany
No full textWhile migration from less developed countries (LDCs) has been well studied, migration from more developed countries (MDCs) has been virtually ignored, both in field research and in theoretical investigation. This chapter addresses this shortcoming by analyzing the destination choices of foreigners from both areas of the world residing in Tuscany, a region in Centre Italy. A foreigner is defined as a person who does not have Italian citizenship and the MDC and LDC aggregations are the same as those used by the Italian National Statistical Institute (ISTAT, 2007). The LDC group represents Central and Eastern Europe (including the new European members, after May 2004), Africa, Asia (with the exception of Israel and Japan) and Central and South America. By extension, stateless and displaced people have been included in this component. All other countries are included in the MDC group. Based on demographic analyses of foreigners from LDCs and MDCs in Tuscany, we demonstrate the dual demographic profile of migration and provide some challenges to the common notion of migration to more developed areas of the world. © 2010 VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften | GWV Fachverlage GmbH, Wiesbaden
Percorsi scolastici e previsioni della popolazione scolastica. Un caso di studio
No full textIl lavoro mira principalmente da un lato ad analizzare i fattori che spingono all'abbandono scolastico, dall'altro mostra i risultati delle previsioni di popolazione scolastica in provincia di Pisa, con particolare attenzione per la componente straniera. Quanto emerso suggerisce il ruolo chiave di questo tipo di indagine nelle politiche scolastiche, almeno a livello locale
The microclimate analysis of Tezone 105 of Venetian Arsenale
No full textThis paper presents a detailed analysis of the measured data on the indoor air of an historical building: tezone 105 of the Arsenale in Venice. During one year of measurements, the indoor air temperature and the air humidity have been collected: the probes have been placed in different sites in order to provide total control of the microclimate. The status of the internal walls has been checked by means of the measurement of the surface temperatures by different sets of thermal resistances. The data collected point out the water wall imbibition and the high thermal capacity of the building envelope. The collected information could be used for the design of the thermal syste
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
