Stress e distress. Coltivare lo stress che fa bene e contenere lo stress che fa male
No full textSuona il telefono in piena notte e abbiamo il cuore in gola. Cosa sarà successo? Questo libro non eliminerà lo stress dalla nostra vita, ma ci aiuterà a comprendere i meccanismi che portano al sopraggiungere dello stress e le strade che conducono alla sua diminuzione. Proverà ad aprire qualche trappola che rischia di imprigionarci nel ruolo della vittima, che di solito ha poco potere, ma noi nei confronti dello stress ne abbiamo abbastanza (c’è proprio da essere ottimisti). Come possiamo gestire lo stress che ci colpisce? Possiamo produrre meno stress? E se vi dicessimo che c’è un leone dietro di voi, perché vi sudano le mani se ancora non lo avete visto? Anche questo è stress..
Mas você está me ouvindo? Comunicação e conflitos no casal
No full textQuando estamos envolvidos em uma comunicação importante, geralmente ficamos muito atentos às palavras que escolhemos, ao "que" queremos expressar, mas devemos também considerar o "como" falamos e, sobretudo, o "onde" comunicamos: não se pode dar significado a uma comunicação se não se conhece a relação que a incorpora. Portanto, em uma comunicação de casal, deve ser considerado atentamente esse "onde". E é exatamente isso que fazem as autoras deste livro, que, desejando abordar a comunicação entre o casal, partem do próprio casal, e não da comunicação, abstratamente. Dessa escolha derivam percursos imprevistos e muito úteis para favorecer a comunicação entre o casal, percursos que colocam em evidência os aspectos positivos dos conflitos e a grande importância do falar claro e do saber escutar com os ouvidos, a mente e o coração
Ma mi stai ascoltando?!
No full textMa se tutti sappiamo comunicare perché è così difficile farci capire? E perché, se tutti sappiamo esprimerci, si generano fraintendimenti? E perché impieghiamo mediamente un anno della nostra vita ad imparare a parlare e diversi anni non ci bastano per imparare ad ascoltare? Nella vita di coppia la comunicazione è naturalmente una dimensione fondamentale. In questo volume sono messi a fuoco il "che cosa" della comunicazione (il contenuto), il "come" (le modalità) e il "dove" (il contesto). Tutti e tre questi elementi, infatti, sono necessari per una buona ed efficace comunicazione
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
