Il diverso approccio di Francia e Italia nella fusione dei territori regionali
Il saggio ricostruisce il diverso approccio costituzionale al tema della fusione delle regioni fra l’ordinamento francese e quello italiano, dalla «non rilevanza» del dissenso dei territori e delle comunità in Francia alle garanzie procedurali e ai limiti all’accorpamento forzato delle regioni italiane per effetto dell’efficacia permanente del principio costituzionale autonomist

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
L’influenza dell’evoluzione dell’Unione Europea sulla Presidenza del consiglio e sul suo Presiden-te nel nuovo secolo: dal Trattato di Nizza al secondo governo Conte
Obiettivo di questo lavoro è quello di analizzare non tanto l’evoluzione del ruolo del Presidente del Consiglio quanto di analizzare gli effetti della successione nel tempo di una serie di leggi che hanno inciso direttamente sulle competenze, sui rapporti con le altre istituzioni esterne e quindi in definitiva sul ruolo del Presidente del Consiglio. Si cercherà di verificare se, a Costituzione invariata, solo le leggi elettorali incidano sull’evoluzione dei poteri del Presidente del Consiglio, ovvero se vi siano state altre leggi che, parimenti, possano influire su di essi o, ancora, se occorra indirizzarsi verso fattori esogeni all’organo che, indirettamente, determinano un nuovo riadattamento al sistema.
A questo riguardo, il carattere intergovernativo dell’organizzazione europea e l’espansione dei poteri in quella sede esercitati dai rispettivi governi hanno sicuramente esercitato un’influenza significativa sul riconoscimento di un’autonomia di decisione del Presidente del Consiglio, così da garantirgli spesso un’emancipazione dalle decisioni del proprio Consiglio, che si è manifestata in numerose e diverse fasi della vita governativa, con conseguente europeizzazione della forma di governo di numerosi Stati e sicuramente anche dell’Italia
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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
We 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
