The informal Mediterranean city: exploring some common policy targets between southern Europe and northern Africa
No full textThe self-made urban areas are a particular phenomenon in Africa and in southern Europe. The common features are:
- clear pattern of informal urban development on dismissed agricultural areas;
- low building density, with high percentage of environmental quality, with open and green spaces at risk of decay;
- insufficient public spaces and services;
- dead-end roads, and absence of a coherent road system.
The informal urban development in the outskirts of Rome and Sétif emerged as an interesting topic that would deserve a more in-depth investigation in the upcoming years
Is there a need for gastrointestinal pathologists? Gruppo Italiano di Patologi dell'Apparato Digerente.
No full textThe interdisciplinary approach to medical practice is a cultural and operational prerequisite for proper diagnostic and therapeutic activity. Its constant application contributes to the improvement of medical performances with beneficial effects on their costs. Anatomic pathology interacts with clinical and instrumental diagnostics and makes a fundamental contribution to the conclusive diagnosis of disease. Furthermore, morphological data are often crucial in the monitoring of therapeutic effects and a mandatory prerequisite for evaluating the efficacy of treatment in clinical trials both on neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases. Such deep involvement in clinical practice and the need to keep diagnostic practice up to date with the explosive advances in scientific knowledge justify the demand for pathologists specializing in sub-specialties of their discipline. However, there is an inevitable need for these dedicated pathologists to remain within the cultural and physical environment of the Pathology Department where they have been introduced to and trained in the discipline. The present paper highlights the scientific and practical motives leading to the creation in Italy, and other European countries of a working group open to pathologists particularly dedicated to gastrointestinal disease. The group is called the Gruppo Italiano di Patologi dell'Apparato Digerente (GIPAD).--Italian Group of Digestive Tract Pathologists

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
