Pillole di innovazione. Il Settecento
No full textIl testo affronta con un approccio non convenzionale gli anni della Rivoluzione Industriale avvenuta in Inghilterra, in quanto affronta gli esiti fattuali di quella trasformazione dei processi produttivi, spesso dimenticati nella lettura degli storici. Il testo, pur ricordando gli aspetti tecnici, si concentra sui suoi esiti – cioè i prodotti –, sui suoi attori – quindi le imprese, gli industriali e gli uomini deputati alla promozione commerciale – e sulla sua innovativa dimensione di aggressione dei mercati. Sottolinea anche come l’affermazione del prodotto inglese cambi il profilo della società contemporanea e assecondi le mode del tempo rendendole disponibili, con le opportune diversificazioni, a diverse fasce di mercato, traducendo l’oggetto d’uso in un oggetto di desiderio, trasformando l’uso in consumo ed esportando con esso l’idea della civiltà inglese.The text deals with the years of the Industrial Revolution in England with an unconventional approach, as it addresses the factual results of that transformation of production processes, often forgotten in the reading of historians. The text, while recalling the technical aspects, focuses on its outcomes - that is the products -, on its actors - therefore the companies, the industrialists and the men assigned to commercial promotion - and on its innovative dimension of market aggression. It also underlines how the affirmation of the English product changes the profile of contemporary society and supports the fashions of the time making them available, with the appropriate diversifications, to different market segments, translating the object of use into an object of desire, transforming the use in consumption and exporting with it the idea of English civilization
La voce local dell'impresa: progetto, prodotto e territorio
No full textIl testo utilizza la riflessione sui motivi culturali che hanno portato alla creazione di un museo online dedicato al design toscano, MuDeTo, per documentare un percorso di ricerca progettuale legato alla particolarità di questo territorio, la cui storia e le cui produzioni hanno la stessa legittimità di quelle ben più note dell’area milanese. Sostenendo che non si può ritenere il design né atopico né apolide, il saggio illustra quell'insieme di saperi tecnici e artigianali, propri del luogo, che hanno promosso l'identità progettuale e produttiva della Toscana, presentando casi studio che documentano accanto all’impresa progettisti che ne hanno indirizzato la ricerca di innovazione con consapevolezza delle loro specificità tecniche e del loro mercato.The text starts from cultural reasons that led to the creation of an online museum dedicated to Tuscan design, MuDeTo, to document a project research path linked to the particularity of this territory, whose history and whose productions have the same legitimacy as those much more notes of the Milanese area. Arguing that design cannot be considered atopic or stateless, the essay illustrates that set of technical and artisan knowledge, typical of the place, which have promoted the design and production identity of Tuscany, presenting case studies that document alongside the company designers who have directed the search for innovation with awareness of their technical specificities and their market
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
