Giustizia climatica e biodiversità nel Bacino del Mediterraneo
Full text linkIl Mediterraneo, con le sue coste che collegano tre continenti e la sua posizione geografica unica, rappresenta un'area caratterizzata da una ricca diversità culturale, economica e ambientale, nonché un prezioso hotspot di biodiversità. Tuttavia, la marcata dicotomia tra la Riva Nord, che include i paesi dell'Europa meridionale, e la Riva Sud, che comprende le sponde del Maghreb e del Mashrek, presenta sfide complesse nel contesto della giustizia climatica. Queste sfide sono evidenziate da profonde disuguaglianze e vulnerabilità ambientali che si manifestano sia tra le due sponde, sia all'interno delle stesse. Questo studio esplora il concetto di giustizia climatica e la sua intrinseca relazione con il concetto di biodiversità nell'ambito urbano del Mediterraneo, mettendo in luce le disparità esistenti tra i paesi delle due rive nell'affrontare la sfida climatica globale. In particolare, si analizzano le politiche ambientali, sociali, economiche e commerciali promosse dall'Unione Europea e dai Paesi della Riva Sud, evidenziando le dinamiche che contribuiscono a perpetuare le disuguaglianze e la costante perdita di biodiversità degli ecosistemi locali
Cardiology as seen through social media
No full textThe use of social media (SoMe) has spread worldwide among doctors, scientific societies, and researchers. SoMe offer a powerful platform to accelerate or create new contacts, spread scientific news, and increase visibility. A social media promotion strategy for cardiovascular medicine papers seems to be associated with increased online visibility and a higher number of citations. This effect is independent of the type of article and the total number of followers of the authors. Indeed, SoMe are democratic and even non-senior researchers may be popular on Twitter: your title is not as important as what you do on Twitter. Nevertheless, some physicians may be over-celebrated due to their presence on SoMe. This is why a new author index, the K-index, has been proposed. The K-index correlates the citations of a scientist with the number of Twitter followers. Even scientific journals and societies have recognized the importance of SoMe and in the last years they have appeared on SoMe with official accounts. Therefore, besides the classic impact factor, publishers now pay more and more attention to other parameters, such as the Altmetric score, which takes into account the number of citations, but also the number of downloads, mentions on SoMe, newspapers and tv news, web sites, and blogs. The COVID-19 pandemic has boosted the importance of SoMe for scientific content distribution, particularly for congresses. For all these reasons, it is important to understand the pros and cons of SoMe. It is also possible that SoMe will become a new education medium for continuing medical education
Ricentrare la città: paesaggi culturali nella metropoli contemporanea
No full textQuesto volume, come ricorda Cristina Messa nell’introduzione, si presenta come uno strumento utile per arricchire le conoscenze sul Distretto Bicocca, rete di eccellenza che, da settembre 2016, ha iniziato ad operare attivamente e vuole essere un punto di riferimento per i cittadini e gli operatori (enti, fondazioni, aziende e comuni) dell’area Nord della Città metropolitana di Milano.
Ezio Marra analizza il dibattito scientifico e legislativo che ha portato alla costituzione delle città metropolitane. Il capitolo offre alcuni spunti di riflessione sul caso di Milano, che si sta attrezzando per diventare una Grande Milano policentrica

Telemedicine in Adult Congenital Heart Disease: Usefulness of Digital Health Technology in the Assistance of Critical Patients
No full textThe number of adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) has progressively increased in recent years to surpass that of children. This population growth has produced a new demand for health care. Moreover, the 2019 coronavirus pandemic has caused significant changes and has underlined the need for an overhaul of healthcare delivery. As a result, telemedicine has emerged as a new strategy to support a patient-based model of specialist care. In this review, we would like to highlight the background knowledge and offer an integrated care strategy for the longitudinal assistance of ACHD patients. In particular, the emphasis is on recognizing these patients as a special population with special requirements in order to deliver effective digital healthcare
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
