Soft Law in International Investment Arbitration
No full textThis article's purpose is to pinpoint the four elements contributing to defining the contours of soft law. More squarely, the rules enshrined in acts of soft law: i) are produced both by subjects of international law and by private entities; ii) do not arise from any of the formal sources of international law as listed in Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice; iii) are characterized by a certain proximity to law, that
is by the ability to “influence” the behavior of those to whom they are directed; and, iv) are even more influential when they are able to respond to expectations shared by the international community as a whole
Relazione tra fattori ecologici e caratteri anatomici dello xilema di specie legnose dell'Isola di Cipro: osservazioni preliminari
No full textLe zone mediterranee sono caratterizzate da una eccezionale ricchezza floristica, vi vegetano infatti oltre 24000 specie e gli endemismi sono molto rappresentati. Lo studio dell’anatomia del legno di alberi e arbusti della flora mediterranea è in grado di contribuire all’ampliamento delle conoscenze sulla relazione tra fattori ambientali e morfologia microscopica del legno, anche da un punto vista filogenetico. Con questa ricerca ci si è proposti di indagare in via preliminare la struttura anatomica dello xilema di piante legnose dell’isola di Cipro. Il fine è quello di giungere all’interpretazione su base ecologica dell’anatomia del legno. Cipro è un punto di eccellenza nel panorama della biodiversità su scala regionale e continentale. Sono stati analizzati caratteri anatomici del legno di tipo qualitativo e quantitativo osservabili al microscopio ottico. I dati raccolti sono stati confrontati per habitus e per altitudine di prelievo del campione. È possibile osservare che la flora presente sull’isola di Cipro è stata selezionata anche in termini di caratteristiche anatomiche del legno. Sono evidenti tutti gli adattamenti che il legno delle piante ha messo in atto per adeguarsi in particolare alle condizioni climatiche della costa meridionale dell’isola di Cipro. Tali adattamenti mirano soprattutto ad una attenta gestione della risorsa acqua attraverso una efficiente organizzazione del tessuto conduttore
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

Anatomical and physical characterization of DED resistant elm clones wood grown in Italy
No full textAim of this study was the technological characterisation of two elm clones resistant to DED.
Their characteristics were compared with those of field elm to explore if their wood is suitable to satisfy the high demand of elm wood in the European market, where it is lacking from several years because of the high losses of mature trees due to the disease
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
