Archaic roofs of Megara Hyblaea : research on sacred architecture in eastern Sicily
No full textAu cours du VIe siècle, l’architecture religieuse des cités grecques coloniales se développe considérablement avec l’apparition de grands centres cultuels via la construction de temples monumentaux édifiés selon des spécificités régionales. Cette personnalité architecturale se retrouve à tous les niveaux de construction et les toits en terre cuite décorés sont des indices particulièrement révélateurs de cette tendance dès la fin du VIIe siècle. À partir de ces éléments en terre cuite, il est possible de distinguer plus facilement les nombreux courants d’influences commerciales, cultuelles et artisanales entre les cités grecques. Ces interactions, souvent réduites dans l’historiographie à une étude sur l’esthétique des toits, nous renseignent peu sur les problématiques liées au processus de fabrication des pièces qui sont plus à même de distinguer les différentes pratiques et les dynamiques artisanales. Pour dépasser ce problème, cette recherche s’est concentrée sur la caractérisation des différentes techniques et sur l’identification de traditions et de savoir-faire. Cette étude se base sur un corpus inédit de 861 pièces rassemblées en 26 toits, provenant des trois grands sanctuaires de la ville de Mégara Hyblaea. Les résultats obtenus révèlent une diversité de savoir-faire à chaque niveau du processus de fabrication. Cette pluralité met en exergue des pratiques qui correspondent à des normes artisanales utilisées par plusieurs équipes d’artisans, et d’autres qui s’en écartent. Ce constat a ainsi permis de distinguer ce qui semble être une tradition architecturale spécifiquement mégarienne, qui se caractérise grâce à l’apport constant d’une main d’œuvre extérieure.Througout the 6th century, the religious architecture of colonial Greek cities developed considerably with the emergence of large centers of worship through the construction of monumental temples built according to regional specificities. This architectural personality is found at all levels of construction and the decorated terracotta roofs are particularly revealing signs of this trend starting from the end of the 7th century. With these terracotta elements, it is possible to distinguish the many currents of commercial, religious and artisanal influences between the Greek cities more easily. These interactions, often reduced in historiography to a study of the aesthetics of roofs, tell us little about the issues related to the manufacturing process of parts which are better placed to distinguish between different practices and dynamics of craftsmanship. To overcome this problem, this research has focused on the characterization of different techniques and on the identification of traditions and savoir-faire. This study is based on an unpublished corpus of 861 pieces gathered in 26 roofs, coming from the three large sanctuaries of the city of Mégara Hyblaea. The results obtained reveal a diversity of savoir-faire at each level of the manufacturing. This plurality highlights practices that correspond to artisanal standards used by several teams of artisans, and others that deviate from them. This observation has thus made it possible to distinguish what appears to be a specifically Megarian architectural tradition, characterized by the constant contribution of an outside workforce

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
