Entrepreneurial Practices between Socio-Territorial Capital to Multicultural Dynamics in Fragile Areas of Southern Italy
No full textThis article explains some entrepreneurial practices currently in use in certain socio-economically fragile territories in the southern Italian regions of Apulia, Calabria, and Sicily.
In general these entrepreneurial practices attempt to reactivate local civic resources by enhancing the skills immigrants have achieved either in their countries of origin or in Italy. The methods we will explore distinguish themselves from other efforts in that they positively affect local communities and cause local governments to put into practice actions that benefit the entire community.
The experiences that we will analyze can represent innovative welfare practices that become solidarity agreements, useful in triggering resilient dynamics relating to forms of relational embeddedness. By involving local administrations and societal members, these innovative experiences, even now at a start-up level, represent a possible path to the socio-economic regeneration of territories and the promotion of multicultural lifestyles

Influenza di alcuni fattori ambientali sul profilo ormonale tiroideo in bufale in lattazione
No full textLa ricerca è stata condotta su 27 bufale, di cui 10 primipare, 5 secondipare, 4 terzipare e 8 quartipare e oltre, tutte all'ultimo mese di gravidanza, e su 5 manze di due anni e mezzo di età. Durante la prova, eseguita da gennaio a settembre 1989, sono stati effettuati 6 prelievi di sangue.
I valori medi del T3 e del T4 sono stati corretti per la temperatura e per il fotoperiodo. Il valore minimo della temperatura giornaliera media è stato registrato in gennaio (7,5 °C) e quello massimo in luglio (23,9 °C). Il valore medio minimo e quello massimo del T3 sono stati osservati al 6. controllo (0,86 ng/ml) nelle secondipare e al 5. (2,01 ng/ml) nelle manze, rispettivamente. In tutti i controlli il livello ematico del T3 è risultato sempre piú elevato nelle manze rispetto alle altre categorie. Inoltre, lo stesso ormone ha mostrato una riduzione con l'aumentare dell'ordine di parto. La concentrazione media del T4 oscilla da un minimo di 55,96 ng/ml nelle terzipare al 4. controllo a un massimo di 109,8 ng/ml nelle manze al 2. controllo. I valori medi del T4, entro e indipendentemente dal controllo, non vengono influenzati dalla categoria

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
Variations 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
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
