No full textIntegrating Territorialization, Circular Economy, and Industrial Symbiosis: Leveraging GIS for Enhanced Efficiency in Industrial Zones
No full textTerritorialization, Circular Economy and Industrial Symbiosis represent key concepts in the context of industrial areas. Present days industrial settings and plans are characterized by a growing attention towards sustainable development, and the processes of territorialization are more and more meant to address a responsible use of natural resources and territory planning in order to maximize efficiency and reduce environmental impact. This challenge involves creating a connection where industrial areas develop clusters, with interconnected business establishing proximity to leverage synergies, share resources, and expertise. Industrial symbiosis and circularity can be facilitated by clusters, which can contribute to sustainability. The purpose of this study is to address circular economy and industrial symbiosis in a spatial analytical framework, proposing a combined methodology of addressing the spatial organization of industrial areas to promote circular activities. A traditional locational analysis method is adapted to circularity and, in this framework, different steps were proposed, involving the use of Geographical Information System (GIS) in the visualization and analysis of an industrial area, with a particular focus on a case study of the industrial area in Trieste. The GIS method enables the mapping of resources, infrastructure, and potential synergies among businesses. The implementation of a geographical database for an initial visual analysis can be a first support to stakeholders in identifying opportunities for cooperation, resource sharing, and optimization of synergy. By adopting this methodology, economic sustainability is not only promoted but also environmental impact is minimized, and a resilient industrial community is established. The importance of this paper lies in highlighting how the GIS approach can help support circular economy policies by providing a foundation for sustainable planning and management of industrial areas
Codice doganale comunitario commentato
No full textQuesto volume contiene il commento al Codice doganale comunitario (Reg.to (CEE) n. 2913/92 del 12 ottobre 1992) richiamando le relative disposizioni di attuazione. Il commento è arricchito da significativi richiami alla più recente giurisprudenza della Corte di Giustizia dell’Unione Europea ed alla prassi operativa. Viene inoltre pubblicata un’utile appendice legislativa, che contiene alcune fra le più significative e rilevanti norme di interesse per il settore.
L’Opera offre utili spunti di interpretazione della normativa doganale attualmente in vigore nell’Unione Europea ed è destinata a soddisfare le esigenze di informazione e di approfondimento di tutti coloro che si confrontano quotidianamente con le problematiche collegate al diritto doganale e del commercio internazionale.
Si segnala che questo volume è aggiornato alla G.U. n. 278 del 29 novembre 201
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
