    ANALYSIS OF THE BIRD COMMUNITY BEFORE AND AFTER A DUMP OPENING IN THE PARK OF NAPLES HILLS (SOUTH ITALY)

    Fin dal 2006 abbiamo condotto un monitoraggio biologico nel Parco delle colline di Napoli, utilizzando gli uccelli quali bioindicatori, allo scopo di ottenere un quadro della qualità dell’ambiente. Nel 2008, a causa dell’emergenza creatasi a causa dei rifiuti in Campania, il governo italiano autorizzò l’apertura di alcune discariche in alcune aree della Campania, come la cava del poligono, sita a Chiaiano, all’interno del Parco delle colline di Napoli. Dopo l’apertura della discarica abbiamo continuato il monitoraggio allo scopo di evidenziare possibili alterazioni ambientali. Dai risultati si evince che già dopo un anno dall’apertura della discarica indici ornitologici, come la ricchezza di specie, sono decresciuti e che tali variazioni sono legate a variazioni ambientali, piuttosto che all’eterogeneità paesaggistica

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    IMPACT MITIGATION OF THE CHIAIANO’S DUMP ON THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE PARK OF NAPLES HILLS (SOUTH ITALY)

    Two years ago, in consequence of the waste emergency in the campanian region (South Italy), the Italian government authorized the realization of some dumps in different campanian sites, as Chiaiano (Rifle-range’s quarry), inside the Metropolitan Park of the Naples hills. Since the year 2006 was performed a biological monitoring in the park, utilizing birds as bioindicators, providing a picture of the environmental quality and some evaluations regarding the environmental impact of the dump. After the opening of the Chiaiano dump the studies continued to indicate some mitigation actions for to keep the environmental status. Some mitigation of the environmental impacts were pointed out

    IMPACT OF CHIAIANO’S DUMP ON THE PARK OF NAPLES HILLS (SOUTH ITALY).

    The Park of Naples hills (Italy) was instituted by the regional law 17/2003 with the aim of the green area’s safeguard of the town hills. But, in consequence of the waste emergency of the Campanian region, the Italian government decided the opening of a dump in the Park, in Chiaiano. Utilizing the birds as bioindicator, we studied the environmental quality of the whole area before and after the opening of the dump, correlating the avifaunal indices to some landscape indices. Before the opening, generally we note that the various areas of the park were constituted from a fragmented landscape and not many mature faunal communities. The dump site, called Chiaiano wood, is not so different from other areas of the park because of a similar landscape, formed from old chestnut coppices alternated to cultivation and buildings. In this site is important the nesting of some predators, as Falco peregrinus and Falco tinnunculus and of some Chiroptera. This is why the dump might cause the lost of rocky habitats in the Chiaiano wood with a remarkable impact on the ecosystem. The data collected in the first year of the dump’s activity showed some differences, increasing with the time, as the presence of the Herring gulls (Larus michahellis), eating urban waste, appeared in the last months, probably for breaking of the anti-gull nets or for the almost filled dump. The predators are still present, but there is an increase of sinanthropic species, as pigeons, potential vectors of illness. We think that need to continue these studies, because the dump impact shows its effects in longer time

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    We 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
