Claude Mermet, La Tragédie de Sophonisbe, reine de Numidie, édition critique, présentation, annotation
No full textEdizione critica, con introduzione storico-letteraria e filologica e note al testo della tragedia del savoiardo Claude Mermet, "Sophonisbe, Reyne de Numidie, où se verra le desastre qui luy est advenu, pour avoir esté promise à un mary, & espousée à un autre" (Lyon, 1594). L'edizione era stata avviata dalla compianta Franca Caldari Bevilacqua, dell'Università di Roma-La Sapienza, ed è stato un onore per Anna Bettoni raccogliere la staffetta e portare a termine il lavoro, con costante attenzione, rispetto e commozione
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

A case study in a top-down recruitment system: Pisa-Pavia 1860-1942
No full textWe analyse the recruitment at Pavia University of seven directors of the Physics Institute and of the related Physics Cabinet active between 1860 and 1942, in the context of Italian unification. Attention is paid to the recruitment by national selections and through the “transfer” system, usually from “B” to “A” Universities. The relevance of the Pisa-Florence “school” for the careers of the majority of the seven directors is outlined, as well as the role influential members of the High Council of Education. Examiners and candidates of the 1897, 1920 and 1926 national selections are dealt with. The complicated Italian top-down recruitment system produced extraordinary results but also had very serious flaws
Application of bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) in dogs: a preliminary study on gender-related differences
No full textIn this preliminary study, BIVA has been performed on 17 healthy Italian Hound dogs, 10 males (M) and 7 females (F), in order to verify if gender-related differences can be detected. Only in F higher reactance (Xc) values (F: 46.4 vs M: 37.7, P<0.05) and a significant negative correlation (-0.80, P<0.05) between BCS and resistance (R) values were detected. 50%, 75% and 95% tolerance ellipses were calculated both in M and F using average Xc and R values standardized for withers height. Probably due to the low number of subjects used in the present study, the variability of the individual vector distribution (F: 79.6 vs M: 53.0Ohm/m), as well as the mean impedance vector lengtht (F: 548.2 vs M: 498.9Ohm/m), were similar in F and M. The gender-related difference in phase angle values was not significant (F: 0.168 vs M: 0.157, P=ns). In conclusion, the use of BIVA in dogs indicated differences between males and females which should be confirmed by a larger number of subjects
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
