Strategie di sviluppo del territorio. Il ruolo delle One-Stop Agency. Esperienze internazionali a confronto
No full textnel quadro delle pollitiche governative volte a promuovere la crescita economica riscuote crescente interesse in tutta Europa la strategia che mira ad attrarre investimenti come leva dello sviluppo locale. Un risultato di tale interesse è la diffusione di agenzie di sviluppo la cui missione consiste nella proiezione degli interessi del sistema paese all'estero e nel supporto operativo e finanziario all'investitore che decide di localizzare unità produttive in una determinata geografica. L'articolo si propone di offrire alcuni spunti di riflessione sulle condizioni necessarie per un efficace funzionamento di tali agenzie facendo ampio riferimento ad alcune significative esperienze internazionali

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

No full textIn this paper we present an evolutionary algorithm for the design of stable IIR filters for binaural audio equalization. The filters are arranged as a cascade of second-order sections (SOS's) and the gravitational search algorithm (GSA) is used. This process seeks for optimal coefficients based on a fitness function, possibly leading to unstable filters. To avoid this, we propose two alternative methods. Experiments have been performed taking an in-car listening environment as the use case, characterized by multiple loudspeakers, thus, multiple impulse responses (IR). This technique has been compared with a previous heuristic method, achieving superior results
