    Tra prelinguistico e parola: dal Salento all'Europa attraverso gli studi ispanici

    No full text
    Una definizione lessicografica della parola "prelinguistico" non esiste - il lemma non appare in nessun dizionario della lingua italiana - ma nel caso specifico, chi ha letto Macrì è in grado di intuire la pregnanza e la peculiarità che questa dimensione del prelinguistico ha avuto nel suo pensiero, nell'economia della sua lingua e della sua critica. Con una facile deduzione etimologica si potrebbe affermare che il pre-linguistico è ciò che viene prima del linguaggio, prima del verbo, un conato alle sorgenti stesse della vita. Un dato di fatto oggettivo nella lingua di Don Oreste è la sua concreta evoluzione in direzione sincronica, verso una condizione segnata da una forte tensione europea. Il periodo emiliano soprattutto è molto fecondo: il nuovo fermento europeo lo porta verso un rinato interesse per il rinascimento e il barocco spagnolie verso la scoperta della poesia contemporanea in lingua castigliana (Villanova, Cernuda, Altolaguirre). Per Macrì la lingua è qualcosa che si evolve in continuazione, come dimostra egli stesso nelle perenni revisioni ai suoi scritti di qualsiasi genere, quando rinnova, di volta in volta, il lessico e la sintassi

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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 text
    We 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

    "Rappresentare il territorio attraverso il collaborative mapping. Il progetto OnToMap"

    No full text
    La pianificazione territoriale è sempre stata interessata nella rappresentazione dello spazio fin dagli anni ’70, da quando l’ha riconosciuta come un essenziale supporto per l’inclusione degli attori sociali nell’intero processo decisionale. Da allora, la costruzione partecipativa delle rappresentazioni spaziali si è evoluta: partendo dalle rappresentazioni cartacee, espressive ma con limitata usabilità e scalabilità, si è passati all’uso dei sistemi GIS e dei PGIS. Le possibilità offerte dal Web 3.0 e dalle ontologie digitali e dalla loro integrazione con le tradizionali forme di rappresentazione sono alla base di OnToMap, uno strumento che implementa un sinergico scambio tra conoscenza esperta e conoscenza dei cittadini, mediante una rappresentazione semantica del territorio
