Employer branding, work environmental e benessere organizzativo
No full textIl presente contributo si propone di analizzare la relazione tra caratteristiche fisiche dell’ambiente di lavoro e la soddisfazione percepita dal personale, in un’ottica olistica che considera persona ed ambiente come un’unità di analisi a livello sistemico. Per caratteristiche ambientali si considerano gli aspetti tecnico-strutturali che sono stati presi in considerazione per la messa in opera della struttura definitiva dell’headquarter di un’azienda nel Nord Est. Tale azienda si caratterizza per essere un ambiente di lavoro decisamente positivo, che coniuga attenzione alle funzioni, alla compatibilità con il paesaggio circostante e, soprattutto, alla creazione di un ambiente lavorativo in grado di favorire la massima soddisfazione e benessere del personale. Obiettivo principale era la verifica di una possibile relazione tra le caratteristiche ambientali, strutturali, di layout e la soddisfazione percepita dal personale, il well-being in relazione all’ambiente, il coinvolgimento emotivo, il senso di appartenenza all’organizzazione e il livello di fidelizzazione dei dipendenti
Il confine tra Eros e Thanatos in Giovanni Comisso e Dino Buzzati
No full textIl saggio propone un confronto fra "Gioventù che muore" (1949) di Giovanni Comisso e "Un amore" (1963) di Dino Buzzati, adottando come principale termine di comparazione il tema del confine ideale tra Eros e Thanatos. La riflessione intende innanzitutto soffermarsi sulle modalità mediante le quali le pulsioni di vita e di morte si manifestano nei personaggi influenzando i loro comportamenti e determinandone il destino, e, in seconda istanza, indagare le ricadute dell'interazione e del combinarsi degli impulsi sulle dinamiche del racconto
An Oct4-pRb axis, controlled by MiR-335, integrates stem cell self-renewal and cell cycle control.
No full textThe pluripotency of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) is controlled by a network of transcription factors, mi-RNAs, and signaling pathways. Here, we present a new regulatory circuit that connects miR-335, Oct4, and the Retinoblastoma pathway to control mESC self-renewal and differentiation. Oct4 drives the expression of Nipp1 and Ccnf that inhibit the activity of the protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) complex to establish hyperphosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein 1 (pRb) as a hallmark feature of self-renewing mESCs. The Oct4-Nipp1/Ccnf-PP1-pRb axis promoting mESC self-renewal is under control of miR-335 that regulates Oct4 and Rb expression. During mESC differentiation, miR-335 upregulation co-operates with the transcriptional repression of Oct4 to facilitate the collapse of the Oct4-Nipp1/Ccnf-PP1-pRb axis, pRb dephosphorylation, the exit from self-renewal, and the establishment of a pRb-regulated cell cycle program. Our results introduce Oct4-dependent control of the Rb pathway as novel regulatory circuit controlling mESC self-renewal and differentiation
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
"Gioventù che muore": il romanzo poetico-sentimentale di Comisso e Parise
No full textIl saggio propone una lettura combinata di due particolari e spesso fraintesi romanzi dell’immediato dopoguerra – Gioventù che muore (1949) di Giovanni Comisso e Il ragazzo morto e le comete (1951) di Goffredo Parise – alla luce del nodo centrale che li caratterizza, separandoli dalla temperie neo-realista: quello della letteraturizzazione dell’esperienza della morte, restituita per mezzo della figura del giovane e adoperata come reagente di una più ampia crisi intellettuale e artistica, che dà forma a un’originale proposta narrativa di natura poetico-sentimentale. Di quest’ultima – inscindibile dal trauma bellico e destinata a influenzare l’arco creativo degli autori a lunga gittata – l’analisi ricostruisce l’aspetto stilistico (a metà tra frammento e visione), le implicazioni anti-ideologiche e i legami propriamente lirici, rivelando le possibilità di un’altra via romanzesca capace di superare i limiti delle vicende umane e di farsi scrittura del tempo, «raccoglimento» di sveviana memoria in grado di riscattare la «vita orrida vera»
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
