Un capolavoro all’asta. La colonia montana Rinaldo Piaggio a Santo Stefano d’Aveto
Full text linkThis essay contributes to the discussion around the following
question: what happens after a children’s holiday camp ceases
its activities? Are abandonment and ruin an inevitable fate? The
former mountain holiday camp “Rinaldo Piaggio” is the case study
around which this reflection unfolds. The holiday camp was built by
the Genoese architect Luigi Carlo Daneri in 1939 in Santo Stefano
d'Aveto, Liguria, where it housed the children of employees of the
Pontedera company until 1983. Later, it was sold and affected by an
unsuccessful project to convert it into a healthcare residence, and
as of today, it is painfully encumbered by a judicial sale procedure,
and is in short “a masterpiece at auction.” The holiday camp is
mentioned in many publications on modern architecture and was
declared of cultural interest in 1996. This vast historical-critical
consensus, however, was never followed by a monographic study
aimed at understanding the problems of the building’s conservation,
its functional recovery, and the preservation of its modernist
qualities.
After an introduction on the building, the text reconstructs the
attempts to transform and update its use, focusing on what has
happened in the last two years, between the start of bankruptcy
proceedings and an unexpected opportunity to protect the
architectural qualities of this masterpiece and promote the revival of
its accommodation function

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

No full textThe Kindergarten of the lagoon: a Manifesto for an outdoor education project in Venice
No full textVenice and its lagoon represent an emblematic example of co-evolution across the centuries, recognized also by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The close connection between Venetians and the surrounding ecosystem, however, has cracked in recent decades, due to many factors, driving to a significant decrease in the ecosystem state. Anyway, if we were able to reconnect young people to Nature by fostering a personal and friendly relationship with the lagoon they inhabit, we could stimulate the citizens’ pro-environmental behaviors. To achieve this goal, outdoor education seems to be a promising path that may be beneficial for developing responsibility toward the lagoon ecosystem, since it has shown to positively influence children's relationship with the natural environment, as well as improve their self-perceptions and social skills. The "Kindergarten of the lagoon" project, recently promoted in collaboration with the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, aims to offer pre-school children a quite innovative outdoor education program based on the observation and exploration of the lagoon. In this work we present the “Manifesto of the Kindergarten of the lagoon”, describing the objectives of this educational program. To carry out the project in such a multifaceted, heterogeneous, and complex social-ecological system, a pedagogical approach is not enough: expertise in lagoon ecology and sustainability is also required, both to choose places representative of a transitional waters environment and to assess the overall sustainability of the proposal
CIRCADIAN PREFERENCE, SLEEP HYGIENE AND MEDIA USE IN ITALIAN CHILDREN
No full textCircadian phase preference is an individual characteristic related to different daily rhythms of many physiological variables. Previous researches have demonstrated that poor sleep hygiene
and screen-based media use is associated with poor sleep, but little is known about prepubertal children. Purpose of this study was to investigate relationship between circadian preferences, sleep hygiene, media
use in children aged 4–11 y Data were collected on 2592 non-referred children (49% male), attending ten schools in Rome (response rate = 79.5%). Sample was divided into three groups (4–6, 6.1–9; 9.1–10.11 years). Parents completed Children’s Sleep Hygiene Scale (CSHS), Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), Children’s Chronotype Questionnaire. Parents were asked about children’s screen time (time spent on screen-
based activities, including mobile phone, television, video-game console, computer and electronic social media such as text messages and online social networking sites) over the past 30 days. This study indicated that Evening circadian preference is importantly related to insufficient and low quality sleep, poor sleep hygiene and higher screen time exposure even in pre-schoolers. This trend increases as children get older
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
