Illustrating a Family. The Printing Press and Political Issues in the "Ritratti della Prosapia et Heroi Moncadi nella Sicilia"
2021
In an early printed book, the presence of a large iconographic apparatus normally reveals a strong effort both in designing its shape and in the financial coverage needed to make it possible. Such effort can be fully explained by paying attention to the scope and target behind its conception. The two volumes of “Ritratti della Prosapia et heroi Moncadi nella Sicilia”, published in 1657 in Valencia, offer a notable example of the political exposure sought after by a noble family, that of Moncada, through the printing press technique and its power of circulation, combined with the attractiveness of family portraits. In particular, the 1657 book, written by Giovanni Agostino Della Lengueglia, …
La imagen de la Concha de Oro en los impresos de la Edad Moderna
2020
For centuries, an image commonly associated with Santiago de Compostela (the shell) has accompanied the city of Palermo as well. Since the classical tradition and medieval literature, and then during the Renaissance and Baroque age, this symbol has been connected with other urban symbols (the rivers, the eagle and trhe Genius of Palermo), thus contributing to its historical identity, although in a rather idealistic form. Therefore, the expression «Golden Shell» has been used repeatedly in a large number of books printed during the Modern Age, with multiple meanings. The main purpose was to show those attributes linked with the city's landscape (wealth and beauty) within a specific political…
Avisos y relaciones manuscritos y impresos sobre catastrofes naturales y sucesos prodigiosos en Sicilia durante el siglo XVIII
2021
In the eighteenth century there is a large number of stories, both handwritten and in print, that describe extraordinary and unlucky events of different kinds: monstrosities, eclipses, or storms, floods, earthquakes, eruptions, etc. These stories, with respect to Sicily, take the form of occasional printed news, although sometimes they may be included in serials organized by different criteria (topographic/chronological/subject). Surviving documents in archives and libraries offer some opportunities to deepen the study of issues concerning the circulation and dissemination of news about the same event, their credibility, their formal characters and content. Very rare printed ephemera and ha…
Aggregation of the web performance of internal university units as a method of quantitative analysis of a university system: the case of Spain
2013
The aggregation of web performance data (page count and visibility) of internal university units could constitute a more precise indicator than the overall web performance of the universities and, therefore, be of use in the design of university web rankings. In order to test this hypothesis, a longitudinal analysis of the internal units of the Spanish university system was conducted over the course of 2010. For the 13,800 URLs identified, page count and visibility were calculated using the Yahoo! API. The internal values obtained were aggregated by university and compared with the values obtained from the analysis of the universities' general URLs. The results indicate that, although the c…
La hidrología médica a través de las revistas médicas valencianas (1841-1939)
2010
La propuesta de esta tesis doctoral es contribuir a conocer el estado de desarrollo de la hidrología médica a través del estudio de once de las revistas médicas más relevantes de la época, publicadas en Valencia entre los años 1841 y 1939. El material recuperado procede de siete de las revistas, recogiéndose todo lo publicado sobre la especialidad. Para su análisis, las publicaciones se han ordenado en tres inventarios bibliográficos que aportan 61 artículos originales, 101 notas y reseñas y 42 noticias. Siguiendo las líneas de investigación del Departamento de Historia de la Ciencia y Documentación y el Instituto de Historia de la Medicina y de la Ciencia López Piñero (CSIC-Universidad de …
Análisis de los artículos originales publicados en revistas específicas sobre drogodependencias incluidas en el journal citation reports (2002-2006)
2010
Las drogodependencias son un fenómeno dinámico caracterizado en los últimos años por un cambio en el patrón de consumo, marcado por el policonsumo, la finalidad recreativa, una creciente equiparación intergénero y una edad de inicio cada vez más temprana. La investigación en drogodependencias ha sabido adaptarse a este dinamismo, conformando equipos multidisciplinares de profesionales para tratar este fenómeno desde diversas perspectivas. El análisis de los artículos originales publicados en revistas científicas, medio habitual de difusión de los resultados de la investigación, permite obtener interesantes datos sobre las características tanto de la investigación realizada como de los inves…
Le «31 biblioteche più belle del mondo». Dalla Real Biblioteca del Monasterio de San Lorenzo de El Escorial di Madrid al trasferimento, nella nuova s…
2021
Gabriella De Marco propone un saggio sulla centralità dell'istituzione biblioteca nella società contemporanea. Il contributo, che prosegue alcuni precedenti progetti di ricerca avviati dall'autrice sin dai primi anni duemila, è centrato sullo spazio abitabile e sul potenziale identitario di un edificio. Punto di partenza del suo ragionamento è il presupposto che lo spazio misurabile è anche spazio mentale. Ciò attiva una serie di considerazioni legate al rapporto tra il tempo della storia e il tempo del fruitore. Un edificio, pertanto, e nello specifico una biblioteca sia pubblica o privata sia nazionale o di quartiere, si percepisce ed esiste anche nel tempo soggettivo di chi la fruisce.
Survival analysis of author keywords: An application to the library and information sciences area
2020
[EN] Our purpose is to adapt a statistical method for the analysis of discrete numerical series to the keywords appearing in scientific articles of a given area. As an example, we apply our methodological approach to the study of the keywords in the Library and Information Sciences (LIS) area. Our objective is to detect the new author keywords that appear in a fixed knowledge area in the period of 1 year in order to quantify the probabilities of survival for 10 years as a function of the impact of the journals where they appeared. Many of the new keywords appearing in the LIS field are ephemeral. Actually, more than half are never used again. In general, the terms most commonly used in the …
A formal model based on Game Theory for the analysis of cooperation in distributed service discovery
2016
New systems can be designed, developed, and managed as societies of agents that interact with each other by offering and providing services. These systems can be viewed as complex networks where nodes are bounded rational agents. In order to deal with complex goals, they require cooperation of the other agents to be able to locate the required services. The aim of this paper is formally and empirically analyze under which circumstances cooperation emerges in decentralized search of services. We propose a repeated game model that formalizes the interactions among agents in a search process where agents are free to choose between cooperate or not in the process. Agents make decisions based on…
Research data sharing in Spain: Exploring determinants, practices, and perceptions
2020
This work provides an overview of a Spanish survey on research data, which was carried out within the framework of the project Datasea at the beginning of 2015. It is covered by the objectives of sustainable development (goal 9) to support the research. The purpose of the study was to identify the habits and current experiences of Spanish researchers in the health sciences in relation to the management and sharing of raw research data. Method: An electronic questionnaire composed of 40 questions divided into three blocks was designed. The three Section s contained questions on the following aspects: (A) personal information
