    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

    Value Creation Through Public–Private Partnerships in the Healthcare Sector: A Managerial Analysis of Italian Healthcare Organizations During the COVID-19 Pandemic

    No full text
    The recent pandemic has highlighted the weaknesses and the strengths of the Italian Healthcare System, revealing the importance of a cooperative behavior among involved actors. The paper shows how Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) may contribute to pursue the strategic objectives aimed at correctly replying to the healthcare needs. In more details, the paper highlights the role of PPPs in valorizing the interdependencies existing among actors and reveals the possibility of adopting PPPs to manage appropriate and effective healthcare services. At this aim the paper focuses on the activities conducted by the Scientific Research, Hospitalization and Healthcare Institute to face the COVID-19 pandemic and highlights their capacity of exploiting relationships and building PPPs. The analysis of the case study of Istituto Romagnolo per lo Studio dei Tumori better elucidates the possibility of value creation through PPPs in the Healthcare Sector

    Introduction: Ankle fractures are the most common bone injuries in any age group and are caused generally by a low-energy mechanism. One of the most applied classifications is Danis-Weber, which tells us about the probability of syndesmal injury. Objective: To identify the risk factors that patients with ankle fractures may present that could influence the presence of chronic ankle pain. Material and methods: A systematic review of 142 electronic medical records of patients with ankle fracture diagnosis with Danis-Weber classification from 2016 to 2019. Results: 142 patients were evaluated considering variables like Weber, treatment, medial clearance measurement, chronic pain, complication, and injury mechanism were analyzed. Statistically significant differences were obtained in the medial clearance measurement variables (p ≤0.01); patients with Weber B or C are more likely to have chronic pain (p = 0.02). Conclusions: There are risk factors for suffering from chronic ankle pain (present a Weber B or C type fracture). There is a relationship in the probability of injury to the deltoid ligament with the Danis-Weber classification.Introducción: Las fracturas de tobillo son las lesiones óseas más comunes en cualquier grupo de edad y, por lo general, son causadas por un mecanismo de baja energía. Una de las clasificaciones más usadas es la de Danis-Weber, la cual nos habla de la probabilidad de lesión sindesmal; sin embargo, no nos habla de las complicaciones o probabilidad de padecer dolor crónico. Objetivo: Identificar los factores de riesgo que pudieran presentar los pacientes con fractura de tobillo que puedan influenciar la presencia de dolor crónico de tobillo. Material y métodos: Se realizó una revisión sistemática de 142 expedientes clínicos electrónicos de pacientes con diagnóstico de fractura de tobillo clasificada con Danis-Weber, en el periodo de 2016 a 2019, que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión. Resultados: Se obtuvo una muestra de 142 pacientes, se analizaron variables como Weber, tratamiento, medición de claro medial, dolor crónico, complicación y mecanismo de lesión. Se obtuvieron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en las variables de medición de claro medial (p ≤0.01); y, en cuanto a dolor crónico, en donde es más probable que los pacientes con Weber B o C presenten dolor crónico (p = 0.02). Conclusiones: Hay factores de riesgo para padecer dolor crónico de tobillo como el padecer una fractura de tipo Weber B o C; existe una relación en la probabilidad de lesión del ligamento deltoideo con la clasificación de Danis-Weber

    Ophthalmology. 2005 Feb;112(2):208-18; discussion 219. Mitomycin C modulation of corneal wound healing after photorefractive keratectomy in highly myopic eyes. Gambato C, Ghirlando A, Moretto E, Busato F, Midena E. SourceRefractive Surgery Service and Antimetabolite Therapy Research Unit, Department of Ophthalmology, University of Padova, Padova, Italy. Abstract PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of topical mitomycin C in corneal wound healing (CWH) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in highly myopic eyes. DESIGN: Prospective, double-masked, randomized clinical trial. PARTICIPANTS: Seventy-two eyes of 36 patients affected by high (>7 diopters) myopia. METHODS: In each patient, one eye was randomly assigned to PRK with intraoperative topical 0.02% mitomycin C application, and the fellow eye was treated with a placebo. Postoperatively, mitomycin C-treated eyes received artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months), whereas the fellow eye was treated with fluorometholone sodium 2% and artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity, manifest refraction, and biomicroscopy. Contrast sensitivity was determined using the Pelli-Robson chart. Corneal confocal microscopy documented CWH. RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 18 months (range, 12-36). No side effects or toxic effects were documented. At 12-month follow-up examination, UCVAs (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) were 0.4+/-0.48 and 0.5+/-0.53 (P = .03) in mitomycin C-treated eyes and corticosteroid-treated eyes, respectively. At 1 year, corneal haze developed in 20% of corticosteroid-treated eyes, versus 0% of mitomycin C-treated eyes. At 12, 24, and 36 months, corneal confocal microscopy showed activated keratocytes and extracellular matrix significantly more evident in untreated eyes (Ps = 0.004, 0.024, and 0.046, respectively). CONCLUSION: Topical intraoperative application of 0.02% mitomycin C can reduce haze formation in highly myopic eyes undergoing PRK. Comment in Ophthalmology. 2006 Feb;113(2):357; author reply 357-8

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    A Multi-Language Comparison of Influences on Author Verification using Character N-Grams

    No full text
    We create a new multi-language corpus for author verification based on Wikipedia talkpages, and evaluate the influence that differences in topic and time have on character n-gram author profiles. Topic alignment between two texts is found to increase author verification precision, and an authors writing style is found to change over time, but not more significantly after 3 years than after 1 year.Information ArchitectureWISElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
