ETHICS: Endorse Technologies for Heritage Innovation
No full textThe evolution of the concept of Heritage, as conceived in the United Nations 2030 Agenda and the Green Deal and New European Bauhaus, aimed at building an inclusive and universally recognised definition in support of the supranational objectives of sustainable human development gives rise to innovative strategies, methodologies and technologies that in a direction of mitigation, contrast and adaptation to climate change allow a valorisation, renewed management and a hoped for valorisation of the Heritage on a national scale. In this direction, the understanding of the Architectural Heritage as a 'non-renewable resource' determines the need to activate design experimentation laboratories oriented towards regeneration, articulated and complex, which require, in order to respond to the challenges posed by our era, a sensitive and dialogic multidisciplinary vision, of a holistic type. On the one hand, in fact, it is necessary to redefine the usability and management methods of the heritage through the adoption of digital, mobility, energy, ecological, social, green and blue infrastructures; on the other hand, it is necessary to introduce new qualitative and quantitative parameters and performance indicators, adequate to verify the validity of the strategies implemented, in a perspective of adaptation to climate change, able to make explicit contents, processes and tools to contrast future risks.
The pursuit of these objectives refers to the innovation of training paths, professionalising procedures, administrative regulations and public policies that involve citizens and the private partnership towards a different project qualification and empowerment of stakeholders, inhabitants, professionals and clients.
The Technological Project makes it possible to activate different interventions aimed at acting, in an integrated manner, on assets, context and communities, according to an approach that rereads them on a common score, as proposed by the European Next Generation programme in three priority aspects: digitalisation and innovation, environmental transition, increased resilience and social sustainability of national economies. In this scenario, in Italy, interventions aimed at outlining sustainable development actions will have to place these concepts at the centre, in a harmonious vision that starts from the recognition and enhancement of the Architectural Heritage, recognising it as a fundamental asset of the territories.
The conference of the SITdA Heritage Cluster will outline, within the national framework, the current and potential paths towards a new concept of Architectural Heritage, through actions referring to Architectural HeritageInnovation and Experimentation andArchitectural Heritage Protection and Conservation. The development of the themes is divided into two sessions, in the morning dealing with aspects
The development of the topics is divided into two sessions, in the morning dealing with aspects related to "Analysis and Mapping of Architectural Heritage to Address Climate Crisis" and the development of "Projects and Experiments on Architectural Heritage in Support of Green Transition" and two afternoon sessions, aimed at understanding the experiences of "Analysis and Mapping of Risks on Architectural Heritage" and understanding "Projects and Experiments on Architectural Heritage in Support of Adaptation and Mitigation to Climate Change"
Digital Transition Strategies for Architectural Heritage
No full textThe implementation of digital technologies has been a feature of many of the most important socio-economic changes of the last two decades and has introduced significant transformations also in the field of Cultural Heritage.
The digital transition had already been underway for some time with objectives focused on the preservation and protection of heritage sites increasingly exposed to risks from natural, climatic and anthropogenic factors.
In the last few years (partly because of the pandemic crisis), new ways of perceiving, communicating and enjoying Cultural Heritage have also become objectives to be achieved through digitisation.
The process of digitization of cultural heritage is one of the strategic objectives of the cultural heritage preservation and enhancement policies pursued by the European Commission and, on a national scale, by several Member States.
In the Commission Recommendation published on November 10, 2021, the European Commission set out strategies for the realization of a common European data space for cultural heritage to ensure the accessibility and interoperability of digitized cultural resources.
The document indicates to Member States the goals to be achieved and the areas in which they should support, politically and financially, institutions working in the Cultural Heritage sector.
To fulfill the goals outlined in the Recommendation, it is essential to strengthen cooperation between digital and physical infrastructures and create transnational networks for sharing and disseminating technologies, services and products for Cultural Heritage preservation.
The paper focuses on some of the issues addressed in recent years in the debate on digital transition in the cultural heritage sector. In particular:
- the development and consolidation of federated digital infrastructures in transnational networks that facilitate access to and use of data and services;
- the creation of a common European data space to host and make findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable the 3D Digital Assets (the FAIR principle);
- the implementation of a European Cultural Heritage Cloud to ensure the interoperability and accessibility of digitized cultural heritage assets;
- the strategic role that the European Competence Centre for the Conservation of Cultural Heritage, will play to federate European Institutions working in the field of Cultural Heritage
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
