WHEN IS A DISTRIBUTION OF SIGNS LOCALLY COMPLETABLE?
No full textAbstractLet V be an irreducible nonsingular algebraic surface, Y ⊂ V be an algebraic curve and P a point of Y. Suppose a sign distribution is given locally in a neighbourhood of P on some connected components of V — Y. We give an algorithmic criterion to decide whether this sign distribution is induced by a regular function or not. As an application, this criterion enables one to decide whether two semialgebraic sets can be locally separated or not.</jats:p
Bambini con molti problemi: Violenza all’infanzia e intervento dei servizi
No full textThis research analyses the characteristics of children who are victims of violence and who have been referred to various services more than one time. The aim is to understand whether the reasons for multiple referral are constituted by the organisation of the network of services, by the characteristics of the children and/or by the seriousness of the victimisation. The research sample was composed of 55 children (to whom 117 referrals correspond) equal to 11,2% of the total sample of referrals received during 2000 by the Services of the same area (Varese and Province). The results show firstly the ability of the network of services to carry out articulated, effective and protective interventions. However factors such as: the presence of violence perpetrated on other children, the situation of single parenthood and the presence of neglect and/or of risk situation suffered by the child, are initially underestimated, causing _in the time which elapses between referrals_ the worsening of the situation of victimisation. In conclusion the authors underline the necessity -for an effective preventive action- of investigating exactly the characteristics of those apparently less serious or urgent cases which, however, hide chronic and insidious forms of violence

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
