Physical activity and sports practice in children and adolescents at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic: Hypothetical future scenarios and preventive practical applications
Full text linkAs a logical and direct consequence of the closure of schools and sports facilities, an expected reduction in the practice of physical activity (PA) and sports has been detected in both children and adolescents all over the world. Hence, we analysed the short-term and long-term consequences of the lack/low level of PA and sports activity in this population, which we referred to as primary and secondary risks, respectively, the latter of which have to be considered in hypothetical future scenarios
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

MULTILATERAL TRAINING AS AN INNOVATIVE TEACHING METHOD TO SUPPORT THE RESILIENCE IN PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
No full textIn recent years the ability of human beings, and some of them, to transform a critical event, potentially destabilizing, into a motive of proposition that allows to reorganize positively the existence has aroused considerable interest.
Physical activity for people with disabilities is an opportunity to cope with high stress situations and meet individual needs. Intentionally educational sport is the expression of fundamental human values: loyalty, discipline, rigor, emotional self-government, promotion of feelings of self-esteem and solidarity. These values are useful to develop resilience in order to overcome, flexibly, adverse conditions finding functional forms of adaptation to the negative contexts that are being experienced and to the psycho- physical difficulties that can occur in a disabled person.
It is no coincidence, moreover, that national and European supranational policies have for years placed the research and development of transversal motor pathways that involve all individuals, from childhood to adulthood regardless of their abilities, for the promotion of psychophysical well-being.
The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a physical education program within the overall framework of individual training and personal growth of people with disabilities. The effects of a motor program based on the eight-month Multilateral Training (MT) teaching method on physical efficiency and resilience in people with disability. The study carried out in the academic year 2021-2022 involved 20 disabled athletes.
The results show that in athletes, the MT teaching method has been effective in increasing physical efficiency and resilience capacity, highlighting the need to orient sports teaching practice increasingly towards an inclusive model adapted to the needs of the user
