Course on "National Nuclear Infrastructure and Institutional Capacity"
No full textThe course is carried out in the frame of the initiative
taken by the Italian presidency of the G8 Nuclear
Safety and Security Group (NSSG) to promote an
effective cooperation among institutions, academic
communities and organizations in order to strengthen
the Education & Training and the sharing of best
practices for a safe and secure development of a
nuclear programme.
Undertaking a nuclear power programme is a major
commitment requiring, among others, to fully and
adequately address the issue of ensuring nuclear
Safety, Security and Safeguards (3Ss) which are
prerequisite for a high level of nuclear safety.
The focus of the course is the development of
institutional infrastructure: the legal and regulatory
framework, the definition of roles and the
establishment of appropriate regulatory role, functions
and responsibilities
ERMSAR 2024 - Book of the Abstracts
No full textThe 11th edition of the ERMSAR (European Review Meeting on Severe Accident Research) Conference, was held from 13 to 16 May 2024 in Stockholm, hosted and locally organized by KTH, after 2 years for the previous 10th edition in Karlsruhe. For the first time it has been organized in the frame of the EURATOM SEAKNOT project and the Technical Area 2 of the NUclear GENeration II and III pillar (NUGENIA TA2) of SNETP Association, together with IAEA and OECD/NEA.
The Technical Programme Committee involved 19 researchers from diverse organizations (BT, CEA, CIEMAT, ENEA, Framatome GmbH, GRS, IAEA, INRN, IRSN, JSI, KIT, KTH, LGI, NEA and University of Pisa).
ERMSAR 2024 will gather about 146 participants from nearly 77 organizations settled in 26 countries worldwide (EU, USA, Canada, Republic of Korea, Brazil, Japan, India), which highlights ERMSAR as the reference international conference on Severe Accidents. 71 papers will be orally presented and 33 more will be exhibited in the posters stand. The conference is focused on the latest progress of international knowledge on severe accidents and is mainly an opportunity for researchers to discuss about future R&D priorities in this field
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
In Sapienza
No full textL'antico palazzo della Sapienza ha accompagnato la storia dell'Università di Pisa fin dall'età medicea. Nella stagione lorenese il grande progetto riformatore di Pietro Leopoldo trovò ampia discussione proprio in quelle sale. In seguito, già nella prima metà dell'Ottocento, gli ambienti della Sapienza furono al centro degli interessi dei viaggiatori e indimenticabile teatro per la formazione di una coscienza politica. Basti in tal senso ricordare Giacomo Leopardi, che volle assistere alle lezioni di Giovanni Carmignani, e la prima Riunione degli Scienziati Italiani, tenutasi nella sala centrale della Biblioteca universitaria. Dal cortile del palazzo, invece, partirono gli studenti diretti a Curtatone e Montanara, ispirati dagli ideali risorgimentali che erano risuonati nelle lezioni dei docenti di ogni disciplina. Anche nelle successive fasi della storia nazionale, fino ai nostri giorni, l'Università di Pisa, e con essa la Sapienza, si confermò al centro delle evoluzioni politico-culturali del paese. Non pare casuale, infatti, che proprio in quei locali venne elaborato il testo-simbolo del Sessantotto universitario, le Tesi della Sapienza. Questo volume, che riproduce alcune significative opere esposte in una mostra apertasi a Pisa presso Palazzo Lanfranchi nell'aprile 2013, propone uno stimolante itinerario attraverso il patrimonio iconografico che rimanda alla storia dell'edificio accademic
