Informazioni diffuse e strumenti per la progettazione e gestione dell'ambiente costruito
No full textLe attuali innovazioni nel campo delle tecnologie dell’ICT, tra tutte l’Internet of Things (IoT), possono rappresentare scenari di cambiamento non solo per la gestione urbana, ma anche per la gestione dei patrimoni immobiliari, relativamente ai processi conoscitivi e decisionali. In particolare l’applicazione di soluzioni innovative dell’IoT permette di concretizzare un nuovo approccio alla gestione dei servizi basato sul superamento di processi lineari e di centri di decisione puntuali verso scenari caratterizzati dal concetto di rete, da modalità di acquisizione in continuo delle informazioni e da forme di condivisione della conoscenza
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
Università e città. Strategie per la progettazione dell'insediamento universitario contemporaneo
Full text linkLAUREA MAGISTRALEL'obbiettivo di questa ricerca è quello di delineare le strategie in atto per la progettazione dell'insediamento universitario urbano. Il mutato rapporto di relazione tra l'università e la città induce queste due istituzioni ad assumere un nuovo ruolo nell'economia globale della conoscenza. Le università europee, di fronte ai cambiamenti che hanno interessato la società, si trovano oggi a sviluppare progetti e programmi volti alla riorganizzazione dei propri atenei e alla definizione di un nuovo incarico istituzionale nei confronti del loro contesto.
I progetti di nove università urbane europee sono presi in esame come campioni di uno studio scientifico. Attraverso la categorizzazione dello loro azioni progettuali si delineano sette strategie che mettono in luce una tendenza internazionale indipendente dalla scala del progetto e dal contesto di riferimento.
Le logiche insediative precedenti, rendevano le università europee più assimilabili al modello del campus americano, seppur inserite all'interno del tessuto cittadino. Le scelte attuate nell'ultimo ventennio mostrano come da un modello più privato si sia passati ad una concezione di polo universitario pubblico. A rafforzare questa tesi la sempre maggior collaborazione tra università e pubblica amministrazione nella definizione dei programmi urbanistici, della mobilità, degli spazi pubblici e dello sviluppo dei quartieri urbani. L'approccio è quindi quello di implementare e riorganizzare le strutture all'interno dei contesti urbani, per realizzare una facoltà dall'immagine sempre più pubblica e aperta i cittadini.
La tendenza è infatti quella di costruire un'istituzione inclusiva e non più esclusiva per la sola comunità accademica, in grado di accogliere la comunità urbana attraverso programmi e spazi fisici e capace di diventare promotrice di modelli sostenibili di sviluppo, divenendo così un nuovo punto di riferimento per la città.The objective of this thesis is to discuss the main strategies for new universities’ projects in the urban landscape. The ever-changing relationship between the cities and their universities suggest that these two institutions should take on a new and revised role whose knowledge should be thought again and put in discussion. As a clear example of this, many European universities are undertaking structural changes and developing new projects in order to adapt to the evolving underlying societies and reflect a renewed institutional assignment.
The specific projects of nine European universities are discussed in the course of this study. Through the categorization of their project’s actions, we can outline seven main strategies which highlights an international trend which goes beyond the individual project and context.
The planning of European universities over the last decades were inspired to the model of American campuses while set up in the urban landscape. However, the choices taken over the last twenty years show the transition from a private model to a more public and social interpretation of the university’s scope. The closer link between universities and public administration when it comes to the planning of mobility, public spaces and neighbourhoods further strengthens this view. The overarching theme is therefore a reorganization of the existing structures with the common aim of realizing a renewed institution which is open to the citizens and has a more pronounced public dimension.
The University’s institution becomes therefore inclusive rather than exclusive to the accademic community, and by doing that it manages to welcome the urban community through specific programs and physical spaces. As a result, this new University becomes a role model for the society and promotes sustanaible developments, becoming a new reference point for the whole city
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
