No full textLa nozione di famiglia in diritto penale
Full text linkAmongst the sources of law in force in Italy today, the only positive definition of family can be found in art. 29 of the Constitution, while the ordinary legislator, whether criminal or civil, has never felt the necessity to clearly define the limits of such a value, only referring to and regulating individual family relationships from case to case. The attempt to identify the contents of a really updated definition of family as to what, today, is effectively a family on a social level, led us to take into consideration what the new widespread models of alternative “families” are, first and foremost the so-called common law marriage, whether hetero- or homosexual. We analysed, in particular, how this updated concept of family is recognized in criminal law, in order to extend criminal protection to informally living families.
Another problematic aspect of great interest and worth investigation we analysed is the influence of the ever more poignant cultural pluralism which characterises our society in structure and composition of family: we suggested in particular to discover the effects of new cultural family models, often very different from the typical western one, on the notion of family today,. These models encourage the emersion of family structures that are sometimes inconsistent with the fundamental principles of our family law and with the criminal sanctions protecting the family.
We also analysed the offenses provided for by Italian legislation on medically assisted procreation (Law no. 40 of 19 February 2004). This is a topic of particular relevance, given the ever increasing use of techniques of artificial reproduction by couples who, unable to reproduce naturally, in some cases even decide to go abroad to undergo reproductive practices prohibited in Italy and sometimes rise to criminal sanctions (the so-called “procreative tourism”). The choices made by the Italian legislator have proved very controversial and gave rise to a heated debate amongst scholars and Courts, with the intervention of the ECHR, the Italian Constitutional Court and the Italian Supreme Court, which recently has covered, for example, the ban on use of preoperative diagnosis system and the heterologous fertilization
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
