The role of the producers organizations in the local development
No full textProducers Organisations (PO) are, to date, one of the main tools that sectoral
policies identified to increase the competitive advantage of farms. The theme
of the aggregation of producers, whether territorial or functional, plays a decisive
role in the scientific debate, political and technical support for the development
of modern agriculture.
The preface to this volume introduces the main features that give such importance
to PO: from the policy context in which POs were born and have established
themselves, stressing the role that they play within branches food
especially for the benefit of the production steps; as part of the agricultural
extension services; for the development of the territories and, in general, in the
processes of local development

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
Late and latest Famennian conodonts at the Malpasso section.
Full text linkConodont biostratigraphic and taxonomic analysis of the Malpasso section were presented by Perri & Spalletta (1991, 1998). The abundant ammonoid fauna was studied by Korn & House (1997) and Korn (1998). In Spalletta & Perri (2001) the section was proposed as possible candidate for the subdivision of the Famennian. The upper part of the section was re-sampled for conodonts and geochemical analysis by Kaiser (2005). The geochemical and conodont data have been reported also in Kaiser et al. (2008, 2009). According to Perri & Spalletta (1998) and Kaiser et al. (2009) the conodont data from the Malpasso section are perfectly correlatable with the ammonoid data of Korn (1998). ). Hartenfels & Becker (2009) on the base of the identification of a typical UD V-A1 ammonoid assemblage, including Endosiphonites sp., Kosmoclymenia lamellosa (Wedekin), Nanoclymenia sp., Nodosoclymenia sp., Rectoclymenia cf. disciforme (Schindewolf), Rect. lineare (Münster), and Procymaclymenia pudica (Czarnocki), and the opportunistic bivalve of eutrophic facies Buchiola in bed ML6k, inferred the position of the Dasberg Crisis Interval between bed ML6k and ML7. The Malpasso section is one of the reference sections of the Pal Grande Formation, showing the typical features of the formation constituted mainly of grey mudstone and wackestone here particularly rich in ammonoids (Spalletta et al., 2015)
