La complessità del disagio nei servizi socio-sanitari. Il Centro di Consultazione Culturale come approccio sperimentale
La recente letteratura riguardante la salute porta alla luce la profonda interconnessione tra processi di salute e malattia e le più ampie dinamiche socio-politiche, giuridiche ed economiche, soprattutto rispetto alla popolazione immigrata. All'interno dei servizi socio-sanitari tale complessità conduce a nuove riflessioni e pratiche di intervento. In tale scenario, il Centro di Consultazione Culturale (Distretto di Pianura Est, AUSL di Bologna) rappresenta un modello multidisciplinare sperimentale di pratiche di analisi e intervento, illustrato attraverso la presentazione di alcuni casi clinici
Migrazione e sofferenza mentale nei servizi socio-sanitari: un approccio sperimentale da una prospettiva antropologica
Inhabiting an “Un-common” Space: Health Promotion in the Area of Pescarola, Bologna
This article reports on a community-based action-research project initiated in July 2014 by the Centre for International and Intercultural Health. The project aims at promoting health through empowerment and community participation in a low-income suburban area of the city of Bologna (Pescarola). Based on an in-depth analysis of the ethnographic material collected (field notes, interviews, focus groups, meeting transcripts), this article focuses on critical moments of the action-research process, which made us reflect on our role and status in relation to other actors in the field, particularly community members. Specifically, we focus on the opening and development of a community space and on the potential and critical issues inherent to the action-research methods we used, such as community care, creative workshops, and theatre. These methods constitute both answers to the needs that emerged from the initial phase of the research (loneliness and lack of social connections), and strategies to investigate health needs together with the community. Our work shows how, in contexts of marginalisation, the material and symbolic conditions for people’s participation in a collective space, and the very presence of a ‘community’, cannot be assumed, rather they need to be constructed with the people as a central part of the health promoting action
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
“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
We 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
