Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
“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
The Service for Monitoring and Early Intervention against psychoLogical and Mental suffering in young people (SMILE) at the University of L'Aquila: first year experience
Objective: In the present report, we describe the organization of our multidisciplinary mental health primary care intervention for youths with psychiatric problems and we report preliminary evidence of its effectiveness. Methods: Our service has been named SMILE, the acronym of "Servizio di Monitoraggio e Intervento precoce per le Lotta agli Esordi della sofferenza mentale e psicologica nei giovani". It has been established within the Psychiatric Unit of the University of L'Aquila. Aim of the service is to allow systematic evaluation, recognition and integrated treatment (psychological, psychosocial and psychopharmacological) of early mental and psychological problems in young people, to prevent psychological discomfort and mental illness, to warrant continuity of care in all phases of discomfort and to recognise and offer care for mental disorders at onset. Other missions of our service include early recognition of the pre-psychotic prodromal stage and the psychotic pre-phase, in order to permit the identification of the largest possible proportion of at-risk individuals, as early as possible, and their referral to appropriate treatment. Furthermore, we provide medical psychiatric residents with training to recognise and treat pre-morbid, prodromic and early signs and symptoms of psychiatric problems and mental disorders. Results: One hundred seventy-four patients (80.5%) were admitted more than once, for a total of 685 admissions. Two hundred ninety-eight admissions (61.5%) were for cognitive-behavioural therapy care, one hundred nineteen admissions (25,5%) were for psychosocial integrated treatment care while 77 admissions (15,9%) were only for pharmacological treatment care and active treatment check. We divided in five macroarea diagnostic hypothesis sub-groups the different clinical dimension observed, also considering the non-clinical needs (Psychological discomfort/derangement Macro-area; Anxiety Macro-area; At risk mental state Macro-area; Mood Macro-area; Psychosis Macro-area). The most frequent symptoms detected were anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, eating disorders, trouble with thinking and concentration, reduced drive and motivation, loss of energy, social withdrawal, school and/or work problems, conduct problems/hypo manic behaviour, psychosomatic problems. Conclusions: The SMILE service has been established a comprehensive early intervention service providing most of the mental health service requirements for young people, across a broad range of mental suffering states and overt psychiatric symptoms. Notably, it is a significant advance over what was provided before in Italy. Hopefully, the development of early intervention programs for mental suffering will result in better linkages between child and adult psychiatry services and also with those involved in long-term care to ensure treatment of psychiatric disorders throughout the life cycle
