La rappresentazione del paesaggio tra espressività e scienza. Sistemi informativi per la conoscenza del patrimonio territoriale culturale
No full textTema della ricerca è la possibilità di indagare intorno alla rappresentazione del paesaggio secondo il punto di vista dell’architetto, il quale volge la sua attenzione non soltanto al manufatto architettonico, bensì ai contesti ambientali in cui i manufatti architettonici si inseriscono.
La ricerca si propone di esplorare la rappresentazione del paesaggio attraverso contenuti teorici, metodologie e sperimentazioni che coinvolgono i sistemi informativi in uso nella contemporaneità con lo scopo di capire quanto essi siano esaustivi alla lettura e alla rappresentazione del paesaggio, evidenziandone le problematiche irrisolte, gli aspetti innovativi e le potenzialità. L’obiettivo è comprendere in che modo tali sistemi riescono a legare il ruolo dell’Informazione alla centralità della Rappresentazione. Se l’Informazione, intesa come complesso di dati numerici, testuali e grafici, è il fulcro su cui si fondano tali sistemi, lo scopo è capire in che modo essa si traduca in linguaggio grafico, espressivo, comunicativo della Rappresentazione.
Le sperimentazioni in ambiente di Geographic Information System e di Information Modeling sono condotte al fine di comprendere quanto gli aspetti metodologici e tecnici propri dei singoli sistemi informativi possano essere usati per l’analisi e la conoscenza dei contesti in cui viviamo. Rappresentazioni mappali e modelli tridimensionali con i loro attributi informativi in ambiente Geographic Information System affrontano la scala antropogeografica, indagando la relazione tra fattori fisici e fattori antropici, le componenti del paesaggio e i sistemi vegetazionali. Modelli tridimensionali, unitamente all’apparato informativo, in ambiente di Information Modeling affrontano, invece, le singole architetture vegetali.
Il tema della conoscenza è centrale in una ricerca che si occupa dei contesti, che possono essere soggetti a gestione, tutela, conservazione, riqualificazione, valorizzazione. Condizione prioritaria, dunque, per tali interventi è proprio la conoscenza puntuale e sistemica delle componenti del paesaggio.The research topic is the possibility of investigating the representation of the landscape from the point of view of the architect, who turns his attention not only to the architectural artefact, but to the environmental contexts in which the architectural artefacts are inserted. The research aims to explore the representation of the landscape through theoretical contents, methodologies and experiments that involve the information systems in use nowadays, in order to understand how exhaustive they in reading and representation of the landscape, highlighting the unresolved problems, the innovative aspects and the potential. The goal is to understand how these systems manage to link the role of Information to the centrality of Representation. If information, understood as a complex of numerical, textual and graphic data, is the fulcrum on which these systems are based, the aim is to understand how it is translated into the graphic, expressive and communicative language of the Representation.
Experiments in the Geographic Information System and Information Modeling environment are managed in order to understand how the methodological and technical aspects of individual information systems can be used for the analysis and knowledge of the contexts in which we live. Map representations and three-dimensional models with their information attributes in the Geographic Information System environment deal with the anthropogeographic scale, investigating the relationship between physical and anthropogenic factors, landscape components and vegetation systems. Three-dimensional models, together with the information system, in the Information Modeling environment, on the other hand, deal with individual plant architectures.
The theme of knowledge is central in research that deals with contexts, which can be subject to management, protection, conservation, requalification, enhancement. A priority condition, therefore, for these interventions is precisely the precise and systemic knowledge of the components of the landscape
Net-zero emissions: main technological, geopolitical, and economic consequences of the new energy scenario
Full text linkThis paper discusses possible technical, economical and geopolitical consequences of the new energy scenario. We analyze the net zero emissions global race with an emphasis on the role renewable energies will play in this phenomenon and COP26’s recent decisions on climate and energy transition. Using the semi-quantitative analysis method, the technological driving forces for future energy scenarios have been extrapolated. The technological developments and future scenarios regarding renewable energies are discussed by comparing two different driving forces. Furthermore, there will be a discussion of possible geopolitical consequences due to fossil fuels trade depletion during the energetic transition. Possible related consequences for MENA countries are investigated. In the last part, there will be a legal background analysis for electricity demand and renewable sources shift combined with techno-economical examples. Finally, considering all the contents, we drive our conclusions
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
