Raymond Aron e il gollismo, 1940-1969
Raymond Aron (1905-1983) è stato uno dei principali intellettuali francesi del XX secolo e una figura centrale del liberalismo europeo. Nella Francia del secondo dopoguerra, questo epigono della scuola filo-inglese fu osservatore e partecipante della vita politica e, allo stesso tempo si trovò politicamente "orfano". Attraverso i suoi scritti e i suoi engagement, è possibile analizzare il dialogo sul piano politico, ma anche le divergenze e i contrasti con la visione della democrazia e delle relazioni internazionali con Charles de Gaulle. Questo percorso attraversa diverse fasi - dalla seconda guerra mondiale al periodo costituente, dalla IV alla V Repubblica, fino all'uscita di scena del Generale - attraverso le quali è possibile ricostruire il farsi del pensiero politico aroniano a contatto con la storia francese ed occidentale

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
“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
Analgesia during abdominal aortic aneurysm endovascular repair: remifentanil vs fentanyl-midazolam - a randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Endovascular repair offers a less surgically invasive procedure for abdominal aortic aneurysms but nevertheless, still requires analgesic sedative cover to ensure an acceptable level of patient comfort and cardiorespiratory stability. The peculiarity of this kind of operation is that painful stimuli are concentrated in specific moments separated by intervals devoid of pain, so the insurgence of pain can be predicted and prevented with a bolus of analgesic, making a continuous infusion not essential, but potentially useful in achieving a better analgesic stability. The primary objective of the study was pain control measured by Visual Analogue Scale; secondary endpoints were cardiorespiratory stability and an acceptable level of sedation. METHODS: The sedative analgesic protocols of two groups of randomly allocated patients, undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysm endovascular repair, were compared. The experimental group received remifentanil infusion (0.03-0.1 microg kg min) and the control group received intravenous doses of fentanyl and midazolam (1-3 microg kg and 0.05-0.1 mg kg, respectively). RESULTS: Fifty patients were investigated out of 60 enrolled. There were no relevant differences concerning cardiorespiratory stability and level of sedation, but pain levels were significantly lower in the experimental group: mean Visual Analogue Scale 0.35+/-0.40 vs. 1.49+/-0.62 (P<0.001) and area under the curve 17.48+/-5.09 vs. 33.05+/-8.19 (P<0.001). CONCLUSION: Both techniques were shown to be safe and most importantly effective in offering cardiovascular stability and analgesia for American Society of Anaesthesiologists III-IV patients undergoing endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. However, remifentanil continuous infusion proved to offer significantly more stable pain control compared with the currently used combination fentanyl-midazolam
