Eros e libertà: Gianni Carchia interprete di Schelling
No full textThe paper reconstructs Gianni Carchia’s reading of the elaborate notion of love in Schelling’s philosophy of freedom. Love, according to Schelling, is a relationship between two terms, which have the power to exist independently of the relationship itself and therefore freely choose to bind themselves to each other. According to the analysis conducted by the philosopher from Turin, love in this context is not only a uniting force, but also a self-destructive force, pushing man towards the abyss. On the basis of his reading of Schellingian texts, Carchia then theorized a form of philosophy in which the dialectical form of mediation is transcended by narrative

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
Dropped head syndrome with necrotizing myopathy: A drug class effect confirmed by 3 repeated exposures to non ergolinic dopamine agonists, due to L-Dopa phobia
No full textBackground: Dropped head syndrome (DHS) or antecollis is a common complication in multiple system atrophy and a rare complication in L-Dopa responsive Parkinson's disease (PD). Few reports described DHS as a side effect of dopamine agonists (DAs) treatment in PD, mostly in Asian patients. Case report: We report a single case of DHS in a 56 year-old Caucasian male patient affected by PD. Insistent and repeated DA treatment with pramipexole, ropinirole and rotigotine was due to L-Dopa phobia and DA withdrawal syndrome. Each DA treatment was accompanied by DHS recurrence with muscle enzyme increment. Results: The cause of DHS was identified by muscle biopsy as a necrotizing myopathy. Repeated administration of different DAs, inducing recurrence of DHS shows that DHS was due to a drug class effect of non ergolinic dopamine agonists. Conclusion: The exposure to three different non ergolinic DA induced DHS in this patients, suggesting a role of DA receptor sensitivity in the pathogenesis of DHS. Our case report also calls attention to a possible rare side effect of non ergolinic dopamine agonists go along with two other complications of PD treatments, L-Dopa phobia and dopamine agonist withdrawal syndrome, which prompted the repeated exposures. © 2015 Elsevier GmbH
