Comunicazione e didattica archeologica in scavi aperti e non ultimati: spunti di riflessione dalla Casa delle Bestie Ferite (Aquileia)
No full textSince 2007, University of Padua has carried out an archaeological excavation in the site of Casa delle Bestie ferite. In addition to research and educational activities, communication initiatives have been organized during the last five years: by addressing local community and other interested visitors, they aimed to present the site and to make people acquainted with the archaeological situation of the countryside of the present Aquileia. In order to make people interested in the excavation, whose analysis is still in progress, the communication strategy uses a simple and synthetic storytelling and moves from material evidence to examine issues of archaeological method, field operations and historical and topographical context
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
Il mosaico delle Bestie ferite (Aquileia, UD): aggiornamenti e nuovi studi
No full textRecent excavations in the Casa delle Bestie ferite (Aquileia, UD), in the area of the well-known namesake mosaic, allowed to update its photographic documentation, to refine its chronology and to find a new coin which is unusual for Aquileia. Along with previous campaigns’results, these new elements deepen the understanding of the domus and make possible to realize new reconstruction of the mosaic’s decorative scheme and plan
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
Aquileia, Casa delle Bestie ferite: nuovi frammenti di pittura parietale da riporti sottopavimentali
Full text linke University of Padua has been conducting archaeological surveys in a residential quarter of ancient Aquileia (UD) since 2007 (Casa delle Bestie ferite). In 2018, surveys investigated various areas of the quarter to clarify the planimetric development and the chronolog y of some rooms in these domus, partly brought to light in previous years.One of these, in particular, located near the perimeter wall of the relevant domus, presents a two-colours mosaic oor, laid on a series of layers that obliterate the previous structures and raise the level of the pavement. ese layers also include a stratum of fragmentary plaster, distributed tabularly over part of the surface occupied by the mosaic. e ne quality of the material led the team to excavate the layer, albeit in section and only partially, so as not to jeopardise the stability of the mosaic above; the frescoes were then analysed from a technical and stylistic point of view and contextualised chronologically on both a stylistic and stratigraphic basis
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
