Gertrude Verne ou le parcours d’une militante jacobine niçoise
Full text linkThe paper explores, from a microhistorical perspective, the political engagement in the French Revolution of a jacobine woman from Nice. Basing on judicial documents against her and her letters from prison, the paper aims to analyze gender peculiarities of political involvement for the Revolution in the popular classes. It shows that women’s revolutionary practices followed specific patterns that triggered a political repressive response after 1794.Cette étude analyse, d’un point de microhistoire, les formes d’engagement politique dans la Révolution, d’une jacobine niçoise. À partir du dossier judiciaire contre elle et des lettres qu’elle fait écrire pendant son emprisonnement, cette étude entend illustrer les spécificités de genre de l’engagement politique révolutionnaire dans les classes populaires. Elle montre que les pratiques révolutionnaires féminines suivaient des spécificités de genre qui déclenchèrent la répression politique après 1794
La maternité expliquée aux religieuses : la construction de la notion de maternité à travers la critique du célibat des religieuses en Italie dans la deuxième moitié du 18ème siècle
No full textIl contributo analizza il tema della maternità nella letteratura politica riformatrice italiana della seconda metà del XVIII secolo. Attraverso la critica del convento e delle vocazioni forzate, gli autori presi in considerazione sottolineano la dimensione naturale e sociale del ruolo riproduttivo femminile. Tuttavia ciò non li conduce a riconoscere alle donne della libertà di disporre di sé.The paper investigates the issue of maternity in the Italian reformist literature of the second half of the 18th century. Through the critics of the cloister and of forced monachizations, the authors considered in this paper highlight the natural and social dimension of female maternal role. However, this does not lead to give women the freedom to dispose of themselves.La communication analyse la question de la maternité dans la littérature politique réformatrice italienne de la deuxième moitié du XVIIIe siècle. A travers la critique du cloître et des vocations forcées, les auteurs pris en compte soulignent la dimension naturelle et sociale du rôle maternel féminin. Cependant, ceci ne les amène pas à reconnaître aux femmes la liberté de disposer de soi
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
Can existing drugs approved for other indications retard renal function decline in patients with type 1 diabetes and nephropathy?
Full text linkMounting evidence from human, animal, and in vitro studies indicates that existing drugs, developed to treat other disorders, also might be effective in preventing or slowing the progression of diabetic nephropathy to end-stage renal disease. Examples of such drugs include the urate-lowering agent allopurinol, the anti-tumor necrosis factor agents etanercept and infliximab, and the immunomodulating drug abatacept. Because some of these medications are already on the market and have been used for a number of years for other indications, they can be tested immediately in human beings for a beneficial effect on renal function in diabetes. Special emphasis should be placed on evaluating the use of these drugs early in the course of diabetic nephropathy when renal damage is most likely to be reversible and interventions can yield the greatest delay to end-stage renal disease
