Full text linkIl Paleolitico nei Monti della Tolfa: Nuove ricerche e prospettive future
No full textNel presente contributo viene proposto un quadro di sintesi sulla Preistoria dei Monti della Tolfa, teso ad ampliare le conoscenze sulla Preistoria locale attraverso nuovi dati acquisiti sia tramite lo studio di materiali provenienti da recenti raccolte di superficie, sia a seguito di un intervento di scavo effettuato nel sito fossilifero di Ficoncella. Lo studio integrale delle nuove raccolte di materiale litico consente di porre le basi per una sequenza relativa delle diverse frequentazioni antropiche riconoscibili sul territorio dal Paleolitico al primo Olocene, con la consapevolezza che le informazioni presentate hanno una valenza conoscitiva tutt’altro che definitiva.A synthesis of the Prehistory of the Monti della Tolfa area is here presented merging the knowledge on local prehistory coming from previous research with a number of new data obtained by analysing material from recent surface surveys and by a preliminary excavation carried at the fossiliferous site of Ficoncella. The study of new collections enable us to outline the cultural sequence at the Monti della Tolfa area from the different Palaeolithic stages to, albeit with doubt, first Holocene
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
I PROBLEMI IN MATEMATICA E IL SOFTWARE DIDATTICO IN SITUAZIONI DI DIFFICOLTA'DI APPRENDIMENTO
No full textUna consolidata esperienza nell’uso del software didattico,
ricerche nazionali e internazionali su problemi legati
all’apprendimento in matematica con allievi disabili e le
indicazioni per il nuovo Curricolo della Scuola dell’obbligo, ci
spingono a rilanciare la questione dell’insegnamento–
apprendimento della matematica e del legame tra i problemi
e il software dedicato. In particolare analizziamo in questo l’intreccio tra l’insegnamento per problemi, il software
didattico e l’apprendimento in classe in presenza di allievi
con disabilità cognitive, attraverso uno studio attento dei due
software “Alla ricerca della Scimmia Bianca” e “Pago Pago”

Le difficoltà di sviluppo motorio-prassico:disturbo prassico o deficit cognitivo
No full textLa sindrome di Down costituisce la causa più frequente di ritardo mentale e in questi ultimi decenni la presenza delle persone Down in Italia è divenuto particolarmente visibile grazie all'integrazione scolastica e sociale e al prolungamento della loro vita.
Nonostante esista una grande variabilità tra le persone Down, i livelli di sviluppo e di autonomia da loro oggi raggiunti non erano neanche ipotizzabili solo pochi anni fa.
La specificità della situazione italiana consente di guardare con particolare interesse alle caratteristiche delle persone Down e di considerare con attenzione gli studi condotti in tale popolazione.
Il volume riunisce le esperienze di numerosi gruppi di ricerca e di lavoro che, nel mondo accademico e nella realtà dei servizi territoriali, si occupano in Italia di queste persone e la cui esperienza professionale e capacità di intervento si misurano e si confrontano quotidianamente con la cultura e la legislazione di questo paese.
Nel libro sono raccolti contributi che vengono dal mondo della riabilitazione insieme a quelli provenienti dal mondo della pedagogia e del sociale. Nel mettere insieme tali realtà si è voluta riaffermare la possibilità e l'importanza di un dialogo tra operatori ed esperienze diverse e la centralità della persona nell'approccio con l'handicap
Assessing needs of ageing people with down syndrome using icf model of functioning and disability
No full textObjectives. To investigate the needs of ageing people with Down Syndrome (DS) over 45 through the biopsychosocial approach for better planning their current and future life.
Methods. A cross-sectional design study was carried out. Four focus groups (Northern, Central and Southern Italy) were organized. Participants were family members of elderly persons with DS and health professionals that provide care to aging people with DS.
Results.13 family members and 15 health professionals participated. An in-depth analysis was performed and the content was linked to the WHO's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) codes. Needs related to their clinical profile (e.g. b117-Intellectual functions; b410-Heart functions) where found and also particular needs of aging with DS in interaction with environmental factors, such as the support of Immediate family (e310), Health professionals (e355), Associations and organizational services, systems and policies (e555) emerged.
Conclusion. The study stresses the importance of introducing for clinical, social and public health policies a comprehensive assessment in order to plan the current and future life of ageing people with DS; such assessment should include a joint analysis of their clinical profile and its interaction with environmental factors (Dosage Project received the financial support of the Fondation Jérôme Lejeune)
