    Brugada Syndrome and Sudden Cardiac Death in Children.

    No full text
    In five children from the same family who died after unexplained cardiac arrest, Brugada syndrome syndrome was suspected based on the transient manifestation of the typical electrocardiogram pattern in one of them. A mutation in the cardiac sodium-channel confirmed the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome, which suggests that this disease may cause sudden death in children

    Le cadeu du village. Musiche e Studi per Amalia Collisani

    Full text link
    Il volume raccoglie ventisei contributi di vari autori italiani e stranieri (ventiquattro saggi e due composizioni, tutti inediti) in onore della musicologa Amalia Collisani (Palermo 1946), che ha concluso nel 2016 un quarantennio di docenza presso l'Università di Palermo. I saggi sono raggruppati in tre sezioni ("Idee, affetti, percezioni", "Tradizioni, strumenti, oralità", "Musiche, Storie, Fonti") e riflettono i numerosi ambiti di interesse della studiosa, internazionalmente nota per i lavori su Jean-Jacques Rousseau e sull'Estetica della musica. Il titolo del volume si rifà scherzosamente all'operina di Rousseau "Le devin du village" e rivendica l'idea di una comunità musicologica coesa e solidale, in cui gli studiosi siano legati non solo da rapporti scientifici e culturali ma anche affettivi e umani

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    Le declinazioni del femminile nella musica siciliana di tradizione orale

    No full text
    Il testo esamina i repertori musicali di competenza femminile nell'ambito della tradizione orale siciliana, entro un quadro inteso a illustrare il tema in una prospettiva storico-critica sui piani internazionale e nazionale. I repertori siciliani vengono illustrati a partire dalle testimoninaze prodotte dai folkloristi nella seconda metà dell'Ottocento, fino alle più recenti indagini condotte con strumenti audiovisivi di rilevamento. L'insieme delle pratiche musicali considerate è stato infine rappresentato attraverso un modello paradigmatico articolato in tre campi: 1) soggetto (comportamenti musicali di pertinenza prevalentemente femminile); 2) oggetto (comportamente musicali di destinazione prevalentemente femminile); 3) concetto (il femminile per qualificare suoni e comportamenti musicali)

    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

    Full text link
    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
