No full textIn Autumn 2000, the Province of Pistoia, and in general the north-western Tuscany and the nortern Italy, was hit by heavy and nearly uninterrupted rainfall, which reached the maximum intensity on November 20th. The rainstorm of November 20th caused many effects, in particular in the municipal district of Pescia, where numerous landslides, mostly of first generation, were triggered. The most frequent type of movement of the landslides was the sliding rapidly developed in flow. The main cause of the triggering of the landslides was attributed to a combination between a rainfall event, characterized by not particularly exceptional values of total rainfall and rainfall intensity, and a long period with abundant rainfall foregoing the event of November 20th. Considering the morphological and kinematical aspect, the landslides were typical of intense pluviometric events: rapid, shallow landslides (e.g. soil slip-debris flow) that involved almost exclusively the cover materials. They involved slopes characterized by rather typical geological and geomorphological environment for such phenomena (cover materials with small thickness, impermeable or semipermeable bedrock, hollows, high gradient slope). Nevertheless, due to the long rainfall period, large and slow landslides were also activated

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
La catastrofe idrogeologica del 19/6/1996 in Versilia e Garfagnana (Toscana, Italia): aspetti geomorfologici e valutazioni idrauliche
No full textVariations 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
