Adolescenza e disturbi di personalità.
No full textPersonality assessment in adolescence requires a twofold task. On one side it has to provide a clinical useful assessment, taking account of both pathological and healthy features, and treatment implications. On the other hand, it has to provide a distinction between "emerging" patterns vs relatively enduring dysfunctional personality traits and characteristics. Personality assessment, particularly in adolescence, requires empirically grounded and methodologically reliabile instruments and classification systems that are also clinically sophisticated and useful. According to this perspective, the Editors of this issue of "Infanzia e Adolescenza" have collected three papers focused on clinical and empirical aspects of two new diagnostic instruments--the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (PDM) and the Shedler-Westen Assessment Procedure 200-Adolescent (SWAP-200-A). Because personality disordes result from the combination of many developmental factors, the Editors decided to include one research-paper focused on the relations among proactive and reactive dimensions of aggression, overt and covert manifestations of narcissism, and styles of moral reasoning. Eventually, one paper consists of a 20 years follow up study on comorbidity of Axis I and Axis II disorders in early adolescence
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
BIFURCATION FROM 2-DIMENSIONAL TO 3-DIMENSIONAL INVARIANT TORI
No full textThe existence of 2 -dimensional invariant tori and their bifurcation in 3-dimensional invariant tori are investigated for a family of (non- hamiltonian) differential sistems inR4. Techniques inspired to the « K.A.M. theory » are used to identify « paths of bifurcation » in the parameters space. © 1989 Fondazione Annali di Matematica Pura ed Applicata

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
