COVID-19: From Sanitary Emergency to Human Rights Crisis. The Pandemic and the European Convention on Human Rights
Get PDFL’articolo esamina il processo di deroga della Convenzione Europea dei Diritti dell’Uomo CEDU nel
contesto della pandemia causata dal nuovo coronavirus Sars-Cov-2 (COVID-19) in Europa, riflettendo
sull’impatto delle misure emergenziali sui diritti umani e le libertà fondamentali. Si argomenta che la
deroga per affrontare situazioni di crisi è accettabile sotto l’attenta supervisione del Consiglio d’Europa.
L’intento è di evidenziare che le misure emergenziali che determinano una limitazione o deroga
dei diritti umani e delle libertà fondamentali debbano essere ragionevoli e limitate sia nel tempo che
nell’applicazione, dunque devono essere misure eccezionali e temporanee, costantemente sottoposte
alla verifica del rispetto dei criteri della proporzionalità e della necessità.This article examines the process of derogation of the European Convention for the Protection of Human
Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR). It focuses on the COVID-19 emergency situation and on the
limits posed to fundamental human rights and freedoms by the measures implemented in response to the
sanitary crisis in Europe. It is argued that derogation is acceptable if under the close supervision of Council
of Europe bodies (CoE). Moreover, any emergency measures which determine the derogation or limitation
of human rights and fundamental freedoms should be reasonable and limited in scope and time, and thus
should have an exceptional and temporary nature and should be constantly tested against the principles of
necessity and proportionality
L’infanzia negata nel conflitto russo-ucraino
Get PDFThis post aims at shading light on the violations of children’s rights in the context of the on-going military confrontation between Russia and Ukraine, focusing on the case of alleged deportations and illegal adoptions as well as the assignment of Russian nationality based on the Presidential Decrees of May 2022, which are at the basis of the recent arrest warrant of the International Criminal Court against Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Article 74 - Dispute Settlement
No full textThis chapter is a commentary of Article 74 of the Istanbul Convention - Dispute Settlement, and it examines the means of dispute settlement that are mentioned in the Convention as well as “any other means of peaceful settlement”; then it proposes a comparison with the mechanisms for dispute settlement that are available within the CEDAW framework, and concludes with several considerations on the institutionalisation of dispute settlement procedures
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Article 73 - Effects of the Convention
No full textThis chapter is a commentary of Article 73 of the Istanbul Convention - Effects of the Convention and it addresses the victim’s best interest and the most favourable
rights, as well as the relationship between the Istanbul Convention and other international instruments in terms of most favourable rights, on the one hand and on the other hand the relationship between the Istanbul Convention and aspects of domestic legislation on violence against women and domestic violence in some of the member States of the Council of Europe
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
