Guastalla e le comunità della bassa nel tardo Medioevo
No full textQuesto libro nasce dalla necessità di colmare, almeno in parte, il vuoto storiografico riguardante
la comunità di Guastalla e il territorio della bassa pianura reggiana nel tardo medioevo. Molto
è stato scritto su Guastalla nel ‘500, dopo l’acquisto della comunità per opera di Ferrante
Gonzaga; poco, invece, sul ‘400, l’età dei Torelli. In particolare l’attenzione degli storici è stata
quasi sempre rivolta alla storia delle signorie che hanno tenuto Guastalla nei secoli, dedicando
scarsa attenzione alla sua società. Attraverso lo studio dell’interazione uomo-ambiente, delle
parentele, delle istituzioni e dell’economia guastallese tra il 1400 e il 1539, il volume ha lo
scopo di evidenziare le trasformazioni che precedettero e permisero lo sviluppo conosciuto da
Guastalla e dalle comunità confinanti dopo la fine delle Guerre d’Italia. Protagoniste di questa
storia, infatti, furono tutte le comunità del territorio corrispondente all’attuale bassa provincia
di Reggio Emilia, in particolare Novellara, Brescello, Gualtieri e Boretto, caratterizzate
ciascuna da diverse strutture istituzionali ma accomunate dalle stesse esigenze di sussistenza e
sviluppo. Questo libro, inoltre, desidera collocarsi nel dibattito sulla storia dei centri minori nel
medioevo italiano, aggiungendo un tassello alla ricerca sul ruolo svolto da questi nel processo
di formazione degli stati regionali del Rinascimento
1776 - Echoes of the American Revolution in the Dukedom of Parma, Piacenza and Guastalla
No full textWithin the scope of foreign and Italian historiography no research has been made on the reception of the American Revolution inside the north-central Italian states: the Dukedom of Parma, Piancenza and Guastalla and the Dukedom of Modena. This current work is meant to be the introduction to a larger study on how one of these small political entities became involved with the events that, during the last quarter of the eighteenth century, were to have a profound effect on the course of history
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
