Culture 4.0. The role of digital innovation in cultural and Creative industries development
No full textIndustry 4.0 is increasingly at the centre of managers' agendas but despite efforts, it still represents a chimera for many areas, curbed by the lack of a culture of innovation, operational vision and digital leadership, very confused about actual return on digital investments. The main development procedures of such stage are for smart manufacturing, i.e. the total digitization of industrial processes, integration and interconnection between different aspects of production and between departments and functions.
Focusing on the cultural industry, three are the main impacts emerging from the application of industry 4.0 processes could have on the cultural and tourist industry:
1. The first concerns the smart management of cultural industries, i.e. the digitization of engineering processes. The Conservation - both the preservation of tangible heritage through digital technologies and the preservation of digital cultural content - is perceived as a matter of paramount importance throughout the world, being so closely linked to the true essence of human culture.
2. The second, linked to Smart Conversation and Creative Enabling Technologies. In fact, the creative sphere applies cultural contents to areas of experience where other important goals exist: a design object can be very original, but at the same time, if it is a chair or laptop, it must be possible for the user to sit comfortably or process data quickly, ergonomically and effectively. From one hand, if it is true that the machines will replace most of the current work and tasks because they can do it better, faster and less resources (McKensey, 2017), on the other hand creativity is a singularity character of uniqueness for the value proposition that will take not only social and educational value but also economic value.
3. The third, relating to the close correlation between culture, creativity and the development of soft skills, which most of the professional figures in the future cannot do without (WEF, 2016). The World Economic Forum estimates that within a five-year period the most sought-after soft skills can change concretely. The first position will remain unchanged: to make it a master, even in 2020, will be the problem solving capability.
In a scenario dominated by new technologies, new products and new working methods, therefore, the entrepreneurial creativity seems to be a much appreciated benefit from the companies and HRM companies.
Finally, it not be overlooked that Italy is mainly composed by SMEs under a family control. For this reason, we do not have to be satisfied with some best practices, but we must act in a systematic way in Italy
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
