La transformación sin voz del paisaje urbano The voiceless transformation of the urban landscape
Full text linkEl ensayo se centra en la actual condición asentativa y en la estructura social de las intervenciones de viviendas públicas residenciales construidas en Italia en los años 60-90, interrogándose sobre las urgencias comunes de reinventar instrumentos de proyecto capaces de ‘describir’, ‘imaginar’ y ‘regular’ las complexidades estructurales y sus internas contradicciones. Su imagen urbana se ha cambiado por las manipulaciones y usos impropios de los espacios comunes y por la ausencia de control y de gestión pública. Los contenidos sociales se han empobrecidos por la pérdida del sentido de pertenencia y del valor de ben común del ciudadano, restituyendo micro narraciones locales devastadores. Una realidad que deja lugar a la declinación de acciones reparadoras, que miran positivamente a la capacidad de activar a través el proyecto participado procesos puntuales de regeneración espontánea, incluidos, a sus veces en las estrategias más articuladas de regeneración urbana
Attività antinicrobica dell'associazione metilpartricina-tomatina sul genere candida e sul trichomonas vaginalis
No full textIl segno e la scrittura compositiva: trascrizioni e realtà
No full textKnowing how to carry out an idea requires autonomy and accuracy, two opposite terms
that in the design process determine the dialogic intersection between the creative
phase and the practice one. It is a rigorous exercise that requires control of the
impulses deriving from intuition.
Recognizing how the intersection of abstract and initially poorly defined elements
can evolve into the sincere and authentic architectural expression to which we tend
determines a reflection on the most specific, characteristic and exclusive communication
and control tools.
The search for communicable control criteria with which to measure ourselves sets the
content of this paper, where the path towards the control of the design process does not
follow the certainty of a univocal practice but is instead configured as an experiment,
subject to the variability of cultural factors and open to new interpretations.
The project we are thinking of is not a finished entity, such as its completed and
verified result, but rather a process. How to begin, how to discipline the ideational
mechanism, how to develop it in a language that recognizes the rules that lead from
abstract expressions of thought to the more cogent ones that have space and form as
their subject?
These are the main issues. In this context, the synthesis process that leads to
identifying the founding traces of a project is arranged as a primary gnoseological
practice. The chosen tools are those of non-figurative representation, oriented
towards a form of graphic conceptualization in which the traces take on meaning and
morphological autonomy.
It is a possible approach, from which considerations and confirmations emerge about
the educational potential and the rational content of the traces, intended as the last and
first graphic conceptualization of the project, on which a critical reflection is proposed.
The interest in the issues about the forms of transferring the idea through different
graphic languages is systematized in a rational operation that investigates the
relationships between composition, shapes and signs, starting from the search for
original factors
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
