Anxiety and depression in 100 female geriatric inpatients. A psychopathological study.
No full text50 anxious and 50 depressed female geriatric inpatients aged 70 and above were assessed with a semistructured interview focusing on the patient's experience of her illness and hospital admission and on the doctor-patient relationship. Each interview was completed by psychodynamic evaluations and a clinical assessment. The psychopathological findings suggested the distinction of four groups of patients characterized by different psychological reaction profiles: patients with anxiety reaction only, anxious patients with some depressive reactions, depressive-dependent and depressive-resigned patients. These profiles were related to age: anxiety was more frequent among the younger patients while severe depression (resigned depression) prevailed among the oldest age-group (80 years and above). Sociological, psychological and psychotherapeutic implications are discussed
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Un'osservazione circa la semantica del prefisso re- e una riflessione sul rapporto tra lessicografia e stilistica
No full textThe discussion following Cioffi’s paper further explores the relationship between lexicography and philology. Luigi Di Raimo analyses the use of reportare and referre in the myth of Echo and Narcissus in Ovid’s Metamorphoses III vv. 346-501; Leonardo Galli further expands on the polysemy of the preverb re- in the compounds refero and reporto, by focusing especially on Livy III 6,6; Diletta Vignola adds further observations on Heroides VII vv. 159-62, by comparing this passage with Vergil’s Aeneid VIII vv. 36-39, Silius Italicus’ Punica VI vv. 708-710 and Statius’ Thebaid VIII vv. 745-748 and Silvae III 3, 188-18
Eliminatio codicum descriptorum e riconoscimento di interventi ope ingenii nelle tradizioni dei testi greci
No full textThis paper aims to investigate the potential of textual criticism in distinguishing two different kinds of innovation occurring in the manuscript transmission of Greek texts: deliberate conjectures and accidental mistakes. Discerning the ones from the others is essential to the elaboration of sound stemmata hypothesis. The presentation of the theoretical aspects of the problem is followed by an in-depth analysis of some case studies from Xenophon's Memorabilia, Hiero and Symposium
L'interazione fra Textgeschichte e Textkritik e le sue conseguenze per una buona prassi ecdotica
No full textThis paper outlines the necessity of combining Textkritik and Text- geschichte for a complete philological survey. The combination of these two scienti c perspectives allows greater results in the development of stemmatic hypotheses. This methodological approach is exempli ed through two emblematic case studies: the issue of the lost Greek exem- plar used by Francesco Filelfo for his translation of Plato’s Euthyphron and the stemmatic reconstruction of Quintus Smirnaeus
