L’evoluzione della tutela volontaria per minori stranieri non accompagnati Spazi giuridici, azioni e rappresentazioni del tutore volontario nel sistema della presa in carico
La pubblicazione di quattro rapporti di monitoraggio qualitativo all’interno del Progetto FAMI in capo all’autorità del Garante Nazionale per l’Infanzia e l’Adolescenza ha rappresentato uno stimolo per la presente ricerca. Nella prospettiva di sviluppare ulteriormente lo snodo della tutela all’interno di un progetto di ricerca più esteso sugli attori socio-educativi che sviluppano un interscambio fondamentalmente relazionale con il minore (CeSPI, 2020), abbiamo sviluppato una prima breve sessione di indagine insieme ad alcuni attori diversamente implicati nella tutela volontaria , allo
scopo di sondare le questioni che ci sembravano degne di interesse in questo momento di “ripartenza”
Lavoro, antropologia e differenze
The article tackle the issues of giving analytical readability and practicable socio-cultural perspectives to the blurred and dispersed features of contemporary work. The interplay between work processes and relationships and the socio-economic, cultural, political and territorial differences of workers can be a central field to explore through empirical and ethnographic approaches, and an interesting key to access processes and dynamics characterizing post-Fordist transformations. Focusing on migration and related differences and drawing from personal research experiences, the author discusses three possible analytical domains for studying effects and counter effects of the relationship between work and difference: spaces, “cultures” of work, status. Ethnography in and of the work places, to be conducted through different levels of deepness according to real constraints, is still a fundamental tool in order to increase the presence of researchers in the workplaces and to improve socio-cultural knowledge on contemporary work
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
Migrations Africaines : le codéveloppement en question.

La diaspora come critica culturale della cooperazione?
Nel primo decennio del 2000 le “diaspore” sono state al centro del discorso internazionale come emergente forza propulsiva nei processi di sviluppo e cooperazione. Oggi è fin troppo agevole constatare sia il cambio di clima verso il co-sviluppo che gli scarsi risultati trasformativi e critici portati dal loro coinvolgimento. Il contributo si sofferma su alcune direttrici su cui provare a riannodare i fili tra componente migrante e processi/meccanismi di cooperazione per rafforzare un nuovo spazio di interscambio e reciproca “contaminazione”, dentro a cui potranno circolare pratiche e politiche più critiche e consapevoli
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
