Diritti, poteri, conflitti. Strumenti giuridici per le tecniche decisionali nel diritto romano (pubblico e privato)
Full text linkViene operata una selezione tra tutte quelle situazioni giuridiche coinvolgenti poteri (ius publicum) e diritti (ius privatum), che possono essere tra loro diversi oppure eguali, ma, in quest’ultimo caso, propri di più ʿcontitolariʾ; in ogni caso, singolarmente presi, diritti e poteri comunque idonei a generare un ʿconflittoʾ. Con detto termine, molto in voga nel gergo costituzionale, si identificano tutti quei veri e propri ʿscontriʾ tra poteri, che manifestano momenti e fatti giuridici bisognosi di una risoluzione per evitare la paralisi; se così intese, tale situazioni, non possono che verificarsi e presentarsi, con le medesime problematicità, anche nel diritto privato. Sorge dunque la necessità di soluzioni - nella veste di ‘tecniche decisionali’ e ‘strumenti giuridici’ - per evitare che il ʿconflittoʾ si crei (laddove questo possa essere quindi considerato come ʿpotenzialeʾ) ovvero per dirimere un ʿconflittoʾ già sorto (che può ben definirisi come ʿattualeʾ). Si pensi esemplarmente per il primo caso alla comproprietà, laddove lo ius prohibendi si pone come strumento per il socio di impedire il sorgere di un effetto giuridico irreparabile; per il secondo si pensi invece alla intercessio, ove il tribuno, appurata la lesione, e ravvisata dunque la ʿconflittualitàʾ con gli interessi della pars populi che egli tutela, oppone con esito favorevole la sacrosanctitas agli auspicia. E talvolta la soluzione può esser la medesima per diversi e distanti ʿconflittiʾ, e nello ius publicum e nello ius privatum (si pensi, tra tutte, alla sortitio o allo stesso ius prohibendi, ai criteri della unanimità o della maggioranza): ciò è ulteriore riprova di come diritto pubblico e privato non siano altro che due semplici, ma diverse, posizioni di studio (I. 1, 1, 4; D. 1, 1, 1, 2). Si chiarisce infine che il ‘conflitto’ non deve considerarsi sotto una prospettiva ʿnegativaʾ, verso un inesorabile rallentamento del sistema, ma come elemento imprescindibile per la crescita della civitas, in un sistema giuridico-religioso ove il rapporto tra ius e fas rappresenta una solida ‘garanzia costituzionale’
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
Use of the fluorescent dye 10-N-nonyl acridine orange in quantitative and location assays of cardiolipin: a study on different experimental models
No full textThe fluorescent dye 10-N-nonyl acridine orange (NAO) is extensively used for location and quantitative assays of cardiolipin in living cells on the assumption of its high specificity for cardiolipin; however, the limits and the mechanism of this specificity are not clear. Moreover, whether factors such as the membrane potential in mitochondria may limit the consistency of the results obtained by this method is open to discussion. The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of some experimental factors on the selective fluorescence of NAO in the presence of cardiolipin in artificial and natural membranes (mitochondria). The results show that the fluorescence of NAO, due to interaction with cardiolipin, is significantly modified by factors that control the spatial arrangement of cardiolipin molecules within the space of the membrane under investigation. Moreover, the present observations suggest that the specific effect of cardiolipin is to facilitate the dimerization of this fluorescent dye, thus confirming that reliable measurements of cardiolipin concentration can be obtained only when the NAO/cardiolipin molar ratio is equal to 2. The finding is also reported that in isolated respiring mitochondria the interaction of NAO with cardiolipin is somewhat related to the respiratory state of mitochondria
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
