La basilica di Herdonia. Esperienze e riflessioni sul rilievo e la rappresentazione del monumento
No full textObject of the present investigation are the ruins of the judicial basilica of Herdonia.Of it, some walls fragments and a few capitals, situated on columns bases, remain. The research, developed to analyze and understand this building, follows a cognitive run in which base and applied research are conjugated at different levels of study and analysis.
The disciplines of drawing and survey can offer a contribution to knowledge and understanding of a building reduced to the state of ruin, as tools of experimentation, control and verification of the hypotheses related to building spatial warp. The survey documents all the surviving architectural passages. The drawing, thanks to its ability of analysis, performs a disassembling of the complex architectural reality in more meaningful parts, recognizing their role. Drawing, finally, as graphic model, contributes to connect all the parts of the architectural organism attempting to find again the original architectural unity.
The first level is carried out by analyzing the monument rests by means of historical and iconographic investigations, parallelly developed. Through survey, the relationships system can be understood, relating the building fragments, despite subject continuum lack. Its form and dimensions, constructive, technological, structural, and distributive characteristics, are recognized, basing on a priori judgments, founded on preceding studies. Somehow they allow to prefigure the original spatial and formal organicity.
A further level of analysis is carried on the comparison with other existing Roman basilicas, having modules and proportions similar to the Herdonia building. The civil basilicas taken into account are located in centre-southern Italy. In these, some parts lacking in Herdonia are individuated: columns flutes and shaft, wall and column height and trabeation fragments.
The last level of study is of comparative-theoretical type: it is based on the analyses of proportion indicated in Vitruvio’s De Architectura, for what regards both the spatial distribution and style elements.
Evaluations deriving by all these investigations allow to formulate hypothesis about the building ideal reconstruction. The graphic model synthesizes all the interpretations and judgments previously formulated and directly communicates the collected informations. The proposed ideal reconstruction of the Herdonia basilica could contribute to further developments of specific deeper researches
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
Gli obblighi dei progettisti, fornitori e installatori
No full textL’autore analizza gli obblighi in materia di salute e sicurezza sul lavoro gravanti sui soggetti esterni al rapporto di lavoro, vale a dire progettisti, fornitori, installatori e montatori, espressamente annoverati dagli artt. 22, 23 e 24 del decreto legislativo 9 aprile 2008, n. 81, e successive modificazioni. Egli, in particolare, esamina l’evoluzione storica della normativa in materia, mettendo in risalto la ratio che ha condotto il legislatore ad estendere la tutela del prestatore anche al di fuori del rapporto di lavoro. L’autore, infine, si sofferma sull’analisi della responsabilità sia civile che penale nel caso di inosservanza degli obblighi sussistenti in capo ai predetti soggetti.The author analyzes the obligations about health and safety on the workplace imposed on individuals outside the employment relationship, namely designers, suppliers, installers and fitters, expressly mentioned by art. 22, 23 and 24 of Legislative Decree 9 April 2008, No. 81 and subsequent amendments. In particular, he examines historical developments of the regulation in this matter, highlighting why the legislator extended the protection of the worker even outside the work relationship. The author lastly analyzes the responsibility, both civil and criminal, in case of non-observance of the obligations of the abovementioned subjects.

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
Sicurezza organizzata e soggetti esterni all’azienda
Get PDFIl presente scritto riproduce l’intervento reso nell’ambito del convegno “La cultura della sicurezza fra organizzazione e formazione”. L’autore, partendo dalla disamina della ratio che ha indotto il legislatore ad estendere gli obblighi di sicurezza ai soggetti esterni all’azienda, esamina la ripartizione di responsabilità tra questi ed il datore di lavoro e si concentra infine sull’applicabilità nei loro confronti delle disposizioni di cui al d.lgs. n. 231/2001. The present work reproduces the address during the conference “The culture of work health and safety between organization and training”. The author, starting from the analysis of the reason which induced the legislature to extend the security obligations to persons outside the company, examines the allocation of responsibilities between these and the employer and finally focuses on the applicability to them of the provisions of d.lgs. n. 231/2001
