No full textLa storia e le trasformazioni della Cala, l'antico porto naturale della città di Palermo, sono legate e condizionate da quelle della città stessa. Il porticciolo della Cala di Palermo appare, con la sua forma circolare, come uno degli elementi di maggiore riconoscibilità urbana: un'icona che ha accompagnato nel corso dei secoli, come un'invariante, l'evoluzione morfogenetica della città dall'epoca della sua fondazione fino ai nostri giorni.
A dispetto della sua rilevanza morfologica, la Cala, dominata dalla presenza del Castellammare, ormai fagocitato da un insieme caotico di insediamenti industriali, depositi di vario genere e strutture precarie, appare oggi completamente disgiunta dalla vita della collettività e dal resto del tessuto urbano del centro storico. L'area, si presenta come una sommatoria di episodi edilizi slegati e non facilmente riconducibili ad una logica unitaria, dispersi in un contesto ancora segnato dai grandi vuoti generati dai bombardamenti bellici ed attraversata da traffico veicolare intenso. Per tali motivi essa costituisce uno dei nodi critici della città. Ciò nonostante, il disegno della Cala rimare ancora oggi, come in passato, l'elemento di riconoscibilità urbana.
Il progetto propone:
un nuovo sistema di viabilità carrabile e pedonale, che permette di de-saturare l'area dal traffico ed una sua fruizione a “scala umana”;
il parco archeologico del Castellammare: in cui il Castello non è più un monumento isolato, ma parte integrante di un sistema connesso, fisicamente e visivamente, con la città;
la sistemazione della Cala: non più destinata al diporto, liberata da tutte le banchine e i pontili (il sistema è spostato nell'adiacente molo sud), è resa interamente pedonale ed è arricchita da nuovi servizi e funzioni;
la Porta: ingresso sulla città dal porto e passaggio dentro la città stessa, diventa segno e simbolo di una nuova memoria che consente a porzioni di città, apparentemente sconnesse, di dialogare tra loro
Work activities at increased risk of traumatic injuries: an integrated preventive approach
Full text linkIncluded in the scope of workplace safety is that relating to potential accidents, i.e. the harmful consequences for human health crossed with the work environment factor. In the study of the determinism of these accidental events, it is important to achieve a biomechanical balance between two main elements: the human and the work environment (consisting of the physical, chemical and environmental factors, i.e. the equipment and what generates its use). Considering the most recent statistically recorded incidents, our analysis has focused on the accident sphere proper, where an imbalance in the above-mentioned binomial triggers the activation of multiple disciplines that actively and pro-actively study the event and assess its sequelae, in all possible facets (economic, engineering, clinical, medical-legal)
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
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
