Competing risk analysis using R: An easy guide for clinicians
No full textIn the last decade with widespread use of quantitative analyses in medical research, close co-operation between statisticians and physicians has become essential from the experimental design through all phases of complex statistical analysis. On the other hand, easy-to-use statistical packages allow clinicians to perform basic statistical analyses themselves. Since the software they most commonly use does not perform in depth competing risk analysis, we recommend an add-on package for the R statistical software. We provide all the instructions for downloading it from internet and illustrate how to use it for analysis of a sample dataset of patients who underwent haematopoietic stem cell transplantation for acute leukaemia

No full textObjective: Social Media (SM) and On-line Communities (OC) are increasingly important in youth’s life and
the massive use of these technologies by new generations gave rise to an international debate regarding the
potential effects on relationships and sexuality.
The aim of this paper is to review advantages and limits of SM and OC as ways to build and care
relationships and obtain formal and informal information on sexuality by youth, and moreover as sexual
education programs delivery tools.
Design and Method: A review of scientific literature from January 2007 to May 2017 was performed. The
current review has been based on 77 articles published in Google Scholar, Web of science, Scopus,
PubMed and PsycINFO about the implementation of technology in sexual education programs.
Results: SM platforms such as Short Message Service and Social Networking Sites and OC contribute to
develop adolescent identity, self-expression, intimate relationships and social well-being and to obtain health
information, in particular related to sexuality.
Conclusions: The use of SM and OC among adolescents is not necessarily harmful and could promote a
safer youth sexual behavior and more effective sexual education sessions. Therefore, a critical approach to
SM and OC is needed in order to promote a safe and beneficial use of such tools
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
Atteggiamenti verso il matrimonio e il parenting di persone lesbiche e gay: correlazione con sessismo, omofobia e stigma sessuale interiorizzato
No full textNegli ultimi anni, il numero di Paesi che hanno consentito e avviato un iter di riconoscimento di forme di unione omosessuale è progressivamente aumentato, implicando una maggiore sensibilizzazione e stimolando un’attiva e continua evoluzione verso la definizione di nuove forme e modelli di famiglia (Beier et al., 2010). Nel contesto italiano, solo negli ultimi quindici anni si è cominciato a parlare di coppie omosessuali (Antonelli, Dèttore, 2013) e l’assenza di una regolamentazione giuridica ha contribuito ad alimentare difficoltà e pregiudizi (Fino, Aiello, 2014). Nel maggio 2016 in Italia sono state legalizzate le unioni civili tra persone dello stesso sesso, ma importanti questioni come la stepchild adoption rimangono ancora da definire e ad oggi non viene data la possibilità di adottare il figlio del partner all’interno di una coppia omosessuale
