No full textA putative role for the tobacco mosaic virus in smokers’ resistance to COVID- 19 was supposed by de Bernardis and co-authors. However, there are several issues that need to be addressed: putative “high mortality rate of smokers infected by SARS-CoV-2”, “poor collection of medical history details in an emergency situation”, reverse causation (i.e. smokers with severe symptoms may stop smoking before admission to hospital and therefore be counted as non-smokers; alternatively, people presenting with COVID-19 may be less likely to admit to being current smokers); self-selection (smokers with COVID-19 may be less likely to present to hospital, either because they have died or they self-treat in the community, e.g. because of lack of access to funds, given that smoking has a strong negative association with socio-economic position); cohort effects (smoking prevalence declines with age and older people are more likely to be hospitalised if they are infected).
Other authors showed that smoking increases the risk of severe COVID-19 by around two-fold and meta-analyses reported higher prevalence of comorbidities, many of which are tobacco-related diseases, in patients with severe COVID-19 reporting an OR = 2.25 (95% CI: 1.49–3.39) for developing severe Covid-19 among patients with a smoking history.
In the light of all these considerations, the validity of the affirmation made by de Bernardis and colleague about the “resistance of tobacco smokers to the SARSCoV-2 infection”, either for infection, or for progression and severity of COVID-19, is not convincing
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
The Role of the GDPR in Designing the European Strategy on Artificial Intelligence: Law-Making Potentialities of a Recurrent Synecdoche
Full text linkStarting from an analysis of the EU Reg. n. 2016/679 on General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR), the Author deals with the opportunity to translate the current strategies on Artificial Intelligence into a possible general risk-based framework that combines hard and soft law instruments
with the practical needs emerging in different sectors where AI technologies find application (i.e.
healthcare, industrial innovation and robotics, workplace, etc.). This analysis allows the Author to
provide a notion of “AI Controller”, whose main roles, responsibilities, and obligations are listed in
a “General AI Regulation” proposal, illustrated in the last paragraphs
Comparing EU Initiatives on Data: Addressing Risks and Enhancing Harmonisation Opportunities, Opinio Juris in Comparatione, 2023, 1-25.
No full textThe Author provides a mapping of the recent EU legislative initiatives on data,
identifying common interpretative issues and gaps emerging from the fragmented
evolution of the legal framework. In order to give a systematic interpretation of the
different provisions, two sectorial initiatives impacting on completely different
scenarios are compared: the European Health Data Space proposal and the Digital
Service Act. This cross-sector exercise allows the Author to identify those common
principles able to shape effective implementations strategies aiming to protect
fundamental rights and democratic values in the information society
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
