    «Amor meglio condisce il brutto»: la galleria delle belle sdamme ne La Tiorba a Taccone

    No full text
    Nel canzoniere La Tiorba a Taccone, Felippo Sgruttendio de Scafato celebra un nuovo modello estetico barocco, esaltando le “belle sdamme”: figure grottesche, popolari e anticonvenzionali. Il saggio analizza la quarta corda dell’opera, tra parodia, satira e intertestualità, svelando un immaginario erotico che sovverte i canoni petrarchisti e valorizza il brutto come espressione di desiderio

    MRI of hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia: a report of two new cases in the pediatric age group.

    At present, magnetic resonance is a useful modality for the diagnostic assessment of focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver. In the pediatric age group, diagnosis for this kind of pathology is more effective and conclusive when performed by MR, because of the limited variety and the restricted expression of primary hepatic tumors. MR diagnosis is based on the presence of a central connective tissue that is scar hyperintense on T2-weighted sequences, which can be regarded as a typical finding, though not specific. The other criteria used to differentiate it from primary malignant tumors on MRI are the homogeneity of the tissue surrounding the scar and its signal intensity, which is similar to that of adjacent normal hepatic parenchyma

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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
