    La reforma del MNAT: Nova vida a l'edifici que guarda més secrets de Tarragona

    L’any 2018, el Museu Nacional Arqueològic de Tarragona tancava portes. Era del tot necessari perquè l’edifici, construït fa tres quarts de segle, havia de sotmetre’s a una reforma intensa per posar-lo al dia i donar-li més vida les dècades següents. Ara, tres anys després, gran part de la reforma s’ha executat tot i que no serà fins l’any 2022, un cop s’hagi enllestit el projecte de museografia, quan les portes es tornaran a obrir al públic. Entremig, durant aquests tres anys, han passat moltes coses dins d’aquest emblemàtic immoble que saluda al mar amb elegància sempre en companyia de la majestuosa estàtua de Cèsar August. Les intervencions realitzades, de les que en parlarem àmpliament en aquest reportatge, han volgut dotar l’edifici d’una instal·lació de climatització de la qual actualment no disposava. A més, s’ha completat amb un sistema de ventilació controlat que permet renovar l’aire sense pèrdues tèrmiques excessives i en les condicions de qualitat que es requereixen. El projecte també ha possibilitat reformar la instal·lació elèctrica i construir un nou centre de transformació a l’interior de l’edifici. A més, s’ha renovat la coberta i s’han substituït totes les finestres exteriors per al correcte aïllament de l’edifici. L’immoble s’ha adaptat a la normativa vigent en matèria contra incendis i accessibilitat. Aquesta és, a grosso modo, la gran reforma realitzada que conté, òbviament, molts altres detalls que no sempre es coneixen i avui ens explicarà Aleix Sanz Capdevila, arquitecte tècnic i director d’execució de les obres de reforma

    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

    El Centre Social El Roser es desenvolupa a l’edifici de l’antiga presó preventiva de Reus, edifici catalogat com a BCIL i pertanyent a l’Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya. L’equipament suposa un programa innovador a Catalunya. Consta d’un refugi per a persones sense llar, un menjador social i un espai comunitari, concentrant així la totalitat dels serveis socials de la ciutat, característica que el converteix en la primera instal·lació integral d’aquest tipus

    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

    Get PDF
    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

    Get PDF
    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
