This paper focuses on a multidisciplinary approach used mainly in the post-processing of the data collected in the intensive survey carried out in 2018 in San Basilio di Ariano nel Polesine (RO). At first, the interpretation of aerial photos and the DTM processing for the area of San Basilio have been used to identify features of the ancient landscape before the field survey, in order to better plan the investigations; the results of the analysis on remote sensing and DTM data have been also used during the post-processing phase. Then, the data collected in the field have been digitalized, organized and processed in a database and a GIS, using both cluster analysis and data classification. The research has allowed us not only to confirm and expand the context of the historical and environmental evolution of the area during pre-Roman and Roman period, but also to reflect on the methodology used for the data collection and processing within an intensive field survey. In particular, cluster analysis and numerical classification methods have been compared in order to better understand their potentialities and limits in the data analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper aims at presenting some reflections drawn from the analysis of the data extracted from two crowdfunding projects. The latter were started to financially support the publication of two catalogues: Incunaboli a Catania I: Biblioteche riunite “Civica e A. Ursino Recupero” (2018) and Incunaboli a Catania II: Biblioteca regionale universitaria (2021). Close attention is given to the strategies enacted to foster the valorization of two libraries and a portion of their bibliographic heritage within the framework of an ongoing research project; among its goals is serving as tool to promote participation in and sharing of libraries as common goods. Data analysis is conducted through the lens of cultural sociology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although software for handling textual data has been available since the mid 1960s, it was not until the early 1980s that qualitative researchers discovered that the computer assist them working with their data (Kelle 1995; 2000). Today, however, their use is more widespread. In this paper we discuss the use of CAQDAS (Computer Qualitative Data Analysis Software) to analyze ethnographic field data. Indeed, these packages allow different functions. Organizing and annotating are two basic tasks of qualitative data analysis. Coding and retrieving is one of the central tasks of CAQDAS. These packages allow also to build theories or hypothesis testing. In this last functions, especially in the possibility to build theories, is determining the presence of network graphs. In fact, theory-building CAQDAS do not actually construct theory but they construct a graphical map of ethnographic data. In those networks nodes represent data (fieldnotes, memos, code, etc.), and links represent relationships between data. The focus of this paper is the central rule of queries and net- works to organize a tacit dimension of ethnographic knowledge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses about computer-assisted data analysis of focus groups. Many reports of focus groups are rather poor and disappointing. This is overtly due to the fact that there is not a well-established tradition in the field of qualitative data analysis. Even the most important and widespread handbooks generally fail to treat the matter and are often evasive about focus group data analysis. This paper summarizes the scarce literature on the analysis of focus group data and tries to suggest an integrated method that satisfies the descriptive purpose as well as the need to take into account the particular nature of focus group data as diachronic and group data. Atlas.ti, a well-known qualitative data analysis program, can partly satisfy this need, if used properly, respecting the particular nature of the data collected. The advantages of such a method of analysis, is argued in the paper, can have positive repercussions in the whole field of qualitative research in the difficult road towards methodological rigorousness.

This paper offers information on the beginning of qualification/certification activities in Italy and data and indications on the experiences gained by Italian Institute of Welding (Certifying Body Accredited by Sincert, and then Accredia, and Notified CE, www.iis.it) and more recently by IIS CERT (Certifying Body Accredited by Accredia and Notified CE, www.iiscert.it), applying the standards EN 473, ISO 9712 and the directive 97/23/CE (PED) on qualification, certification and approval ofnon destructive testing personnel. Particularly information updated to 31 July 2012 are given and discussed on the activity of qualification/certification since January 2001 (starting year for the application of EN 473, second edition, and PED directive) with reference to the issued certifications and approvals and to their distribution in method and level. Furthermore, it is reported that at the beginning of 2011 IIS originated two branches, IIS CERT e IIS SERVICE, both totally owned and passed to the first one its activities of certification and approval. Instead IIS maintained the training, education and laboratory activities; all of them, together with research and development activities, will be transferred to a third IIS branch, IIS PROGRESS (www.iisprogress.it), which will officially start these activities at the beginning of 2013.

The essay presents a research started in 2016 at the University for Foreigners of Perugia and dedicated to the learning of post-basic Italian by adult foreigners permanently residing in Perugia. The results of the survey will be published in a forthcoming volume entitled 'Il muro della lingua: stranieri residenti e l'apprendimento dell'italiano avanzato' (The language barrier: resident foreigners and advanced Italian learning). The first part addresses the issue of learning immigrants' identity, drawing on the definition of Straniero Residente proposed by Donatella Di Cesare. In the second part, I briefly describe the groups of informants and the structure of the questionnaire. The third section provides some examples and illustrates the methodological choices for the linguistics data analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to analyse the intermodal practices of mobility in the bus-metro network of Rennes metropole. Intermodality being strongly linked to the use of urban public transport networks, the Rennes Métropole bus and metro network data provided by Keolis-Rennes provides a very significant part of daily intermodality. To compensate for the lack of information on destinations and correspondances in the ticketing data a reconstruction of trips was made on the basis of hypotheses provided by the literature. The research carried out in the "Mobilletic" project considerably deepened the understanding of the temporal and spatial dimensions of intermodal mobility within Rennes Métropole’s urban public transport network.

In France, knowledge about urban spaces can be assumed by typologies built from statistical information at the scale of municipalities or blocks (provided by the French national institute of statistics for example). Nevertheless, these typologies do not consider cities at the desegregated scale of their buildings and usually do not take into account the diversity of buildings’ residential neighborhood. But this diversity explains a part of people and household’s choices in terms of mobility and lifestyle. The aim of this paper is to create a classification based on desegregated data, in order to better qualify urban spaces. After a short theoretical review about urban unity or diversity (Part 1), Part 2 presents the 46 selected indicators at the scale of the immediate, nearby or global neighborhood of the buildings. Part 3 presents the results of the classification, based on data analysis (PCA and HAC), which allow statistical and graphical generalization of the two studied areas: Besançon and Metz. These results improve knowledge about the organization and the residential attributes of urban spaces.

Deliberative and participatory democracy is embodied in a number of techniques and methodologies for participation and deliberation which are seldom evaluated as substantial parts of policy processes. The definition of criteria for their evaluation, the development of methods and techniques for the collection and analysis of data, and the interpretation of results are far from simple. The article reviews the literature on the evaluation of deliberative and participatory practices, highlights a number of open issues concerning the feasibility of evaluation and suggests an agenda for future research.

The article discusses a purported relationship between abortions and prevention of crime. Specifically, it presents the argument in favor of abortion made in the United States in 1990 by then head of the Minneapolis, Minnesota, police department Tony Bouza which claims that abortions lead to a reduction in crime rates. The assumption is that aborted pregnancies would otherwise lead to children who are more likely to be abandoned and therefore who be more likely to become criminals. The author analyzes that claim based on Italian data.
