De la revue au recueil, sur la composition du Don Candeloro e C.i. de et par Giovanni Verga
No full textLe présent article étudie le travail de composition effectué par Giovanni Verga dans l'élaboration de son dernier recueil de nouvelles, le Don Candeloro e C.i. (1894). La confrontation des étapes de publications des textes, l'une sur périodique, l'autre dans l'édition princeps, et le recours aux traditions théoriques italiennes, anglo-saxonnes et francophones étudiant le modèle du recueil permettent d'analyser et d'identifier une dynamique nouvelle à l'œuvre entre les récits brefs lorsqu'ils sont réunis dans un volume unique. Les résultats de cette analyse rendent alors possible, d'une part, d'interroger de manière plus large les spécificités de la forme « recueil » et, d'autre part, d'identifier la nouveauté et l'importance poétique du Don Candeloro e C.i. dans la production de l'auteur sicilien
A case with congenital adrenal hyperplasia and multiple sclerosis: a coincidental association or a clue of genetic interest?
No full textSingle high-dose steroid treatment in episodic cluster headache.
Full text linkCorticosteroids appear to be the most rapid-acting of the prophylactic drugs used in the treatment of cluster headache (CH). These agents are frequently employed as a short-term regimen to induce clinical remission. In this study, we assessed in an open fashion the effect of high dose methylprednisolone (MPD) in a group of 13 patients with episodic CH (3 females and 10 males). On the 8th day of the active period, MPD was administered intravenously at the dose of 30 mg/kg body weight, as a 3-h infusion in saline. The attack frequency was followed for 7 days. The mean daily attack frequency before MPD administration was statistically different from that reported after treatment (respectively: 1.38 +/- 0.42 and 0.83 +/- 0.78; P = 0.05 Student's t-test). The mean interval between MPD administration and the occurrence of the first subsequent attack was 3.8 +/- 2.2 days (range: 2-7 days). Only 3 (23%) of 13 patients experienced a complete headache remission. No significant side-effects were noted after MPD administration. These data further demonstrate that in most patients with episodic CH, high-dose systemic steroid administration may invariably interrupt attack recurrence for a few days, but is ineffective in maintaining complete clinical remission. This study also suggests that MPD administered as a solitary dose does not provide any advantage above prednisone in CH treatment
Dizziness and vertigo
No full textDizziness represents 10-15% of the causes of access to emergency and acceptance departments (on NEU Day 2018, the figure was 8%, with CI from 6% to 10%). The differential diagnosis of the patient with vertigo is of great importance in first aid evaluation: similar clinical presentations can be supported by very different causes (otological, neurological, or systemic) with very different prognoses, and, on the other hand, the same pathology can correspond to different syndromes
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
