Quand la sauvegarde de la tradition culturelle locale devient une profession: le cas des dentellières de Bolsena
No full textLa compétence clé liée à la conscience de l’expression créative d’idées, d’expériences et d’émotions à travers une pluralité de moyens de communications/artistiques trouve son terrain idéal dans le processus de Recherche-Action appelé « Dentellières en apprentissage», réalisé dans le cadre du projet Eure.K. La RA de l’Université de Padoue, mise en acte en collaboration avec Geapolis – une association du territoire de Viterbe –, s’adresse aux membres de l‘association « Bolsena Ricama », une école de dentelle qui, depuis quelques dizaines d’années, s’emploie à enseigner et transmettre les techniques de la dentelle aux fuseaux des zones d’Italie centrale dont les villes de Bolsena et d’Orvieto constituent les centres principaux
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
Feline intestinal T-cell lymphoma: assessment of morphologic and kinetic features in 30 cases
No full textIntestinal lymphoma is a common entity in cats. According to WHO-REAL classification system, after immunophenotyping B-cell lymphomas are further categorized according to their morphology, while those deriving from T-cells are collectively considered in the intestinal T-cell lymphoma (ITCL) category. In this study we evaluated 30 feline ITCL out of 77 cats with gastrointestinal lymphoma. Neoplastic lesions were composed of predominantly small (n = 21) or medium-to-large anaplastic (n = 9) cells. Different patterns of tumor growth were observed. Starry-sky pattern was evident 7 cases (23.3%), fibrosis in 18 cases (60%) and neovascularization in 19 cases (63.3%). The cell proliferation index (assessed by MIB-1 immunohistochemistry) ranged from 0.21% to 66.91%. Mean MIB-1 index was 3.49% within the first 33° percentile, 18.31% within the second 33° percentile, and 40.16% within the third 33° percentile (p < 0.000001). Microscopic and kinetic features provided evidence that ITCL exhibits in cats a spectrum in cytological composition and growth patterns, that could putatively reflects differences in biologic behavior

No full textVariations 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
Presenza del mal dell’esca nell’area viticola della provincia di Teramo e valutazione di strategie sperimentali di difesa a basso impatto ambientale. Risultati del progetto “Studio per la messa a punto di nuove metodologie di difesa contro il mal dell’esca della vite”
No full textUsefulness and Effectiveness of Related Party Transactions (RPTs) Disclosure: Empirical Evidence From Italy
No full textRelated party transactions (RPTs) can be used by corporate insiders (e.g., managers, controlling shareholders)
to expropriate corporate outsiders (e.g., minority shareholders). We argue that effective disclosure of RPTs can eliminate or at least reduce expropriation phenomena by letting corporate outsiders assess the fairness of the
transactions and identify the underlying conflicts of interest. We consider a sample of large RPTs carried out by
listed corporations in Italy, a country that has been affected by significant corporate scandals in recent years.
In particular, we analyse the content of several compulsory informative documents, required by CONSOB
(the Italian Securities and Exchange Commission), concerning large RPTs. The focus of our content analysis is on the “warnings” sections of these documents that should convey clear and comprehensive information on potential
risks and conflicts of interest. Our empirical results show that, while the “warnings” sections of the studied
documents generally contain all the information required by existing rules, the depth of the information provided is
often unlikely to be sufficient to communicate the implications of the RPTs. Thus, readers may not find the
disclosed information adequate to evaluate the fairness of the transactions. Moreover, visual representations are
rarely used in the informative documents. The use of such representations could allow companies to convey the
structures and features of complex RPTs in a simpler and more direct way
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
Assunzione di dichiarazioni dalla fonte di prova minorenne e attività investigativa della pubblica accusa
No full textNella consapevolezza della naturale fragilità di soggetti minori d’età, non ancora pienamente formati da un punto di vista psico-fisico e della necessità di approntare un compiuto sistema di protezione per i minorenni coinvolti nel processo penale, il legislatore processuale ha predisposto, con la riforma del 1988, una disciplina speciale a proposito della loro audizione dibattimentale (art. 472 comma 4 e art. 498 comma 4 c.p.p.), sulla quale via via, nel corso degli anni, si sono stratificati interventi normativi vòlti soprattutto alla salvaguardia della vulnerabilità delle persone offese e dei testimoni di reati particolarmente odiosi, quali i reati “a sfondo sessuale” (art. 190-bis comma 1-bis c.p.p.; artt. 498 commi 4-bis e 4-ter c.p.p.; art. 472 comma 3-bis c.p.p.; artt. 392 comma 1-bis e 398 comma 5-bis c.p.p.). Si “segnala”, inoltre, l’art. 609-decies c.p., previsione di particolare significato, giacché rappresenta un primo timido tentativo di riconoscere un diritto all’assistenza affettiva e psicologica del minorenne «in ogni stato e grado del procedimento», seppur limitato, per il momento, alle vittime minorenni di abusi sessuali. Il dato che si può ricavare dal quadro legislativo sommariamente tracciato, al di là di singole mancanze, è che si è sterilizzato “l’effetto protezione” connesso a questi peculiari strumenti di ascolto della fonte minorenne, perché si è circoscritta la rete di garanzie predisposta ad una fase avanzata del procedimento, tralasciando completamente ogni regolamentazione dei primi passi dell’indagine, un contesto, quest’ultimo, strutturalmente povero di garanzie. Invero, le norme sull’assunzione delle dichiarazioni del minorenne, pur essendo un «ginepraio disomogeneo e bizzarro», operano solo nell’ambito del processo vero e proprio, scelta questa che rende indispensabile pensare ad una regolamentazione dell’audizione del minore anche nel corso delle indagini. E a questo punto è giocoforza interrogarsi (ed è questo lo scopo del presente lavoro) su quali siano i protocolli di ascolto più efficaci nella tutela della fonte di prova (e del suo contributo mnestico) nell’impianto di una fase contraddistinta, per propria vocazione primigenia, da un favor verso registri fluidi, necessari per adeguarsi alle esigenze e alle urgenze concrete occasionate dalla singola inchiesta. Una caratterizzazione dell’indagine preliminare che deve fare i conti con istanze di tutela della fonte debole: venendo in gioco valori di rilievo costituzionale (protezione dell’infanzia e della gioventù quale dovere primario dell’ordinamento – artt. 30 e 31 comma 2 Cost.) anche le attività di investigazione debbono rispondere a precisi canoni formali in chiave di garanzia. E dall’inadeguatezza, su più fronti, dell’impianto previsto nell’assunzione della testimonianza del minorenne emerge la necessità di una riorganizzazione complessiva della materia in un’ottica di effettività delle garanzie che accompagnano la comparsa di un soggetto minore di età sulla scena processual
