Professional liability of the sport doctor
No full textThe Authors, in the light of the disposed legislative article that finalizes the health care of the citizen that practises sport activities, take in consideration some peculiar aspects of professional liability of the doctor specialized in sport medicine. In particular, within the certifications of competence, the profiles of responsability could emerge in terms of generic fault as much as specific fault. On the bases of this last aspect, preciously in the light of the current regulations, the profiles of responsability for omission of the verifications expressed by the regulation, as well as of those considered worthy of esecution in front of a motivated clinical suspiscion, can result as firm and immediate. The certification of competence is also full of remarkable implications for itself, even in the light of the juridical qualification of the doctor responsable for the verifications, that could bring forth the hypothesis for the crime of falsity in material or in ideological or in public documents. Even for the sport society doctor it has been proposed profiles of responsability especially tied to the obligation of health suveillance for the athletes that has been put under his charge. Another aspect worth of attention is the information that is transmitted to the citizen, with particular reguard to minors, as well as the problem of doping, with the juridical-deontological limitations that sees in the defence of the athlete's health the limits of the actions of the doctor specialized in sport medicine
The professional responsibilities of psychiatric staff
No full textThe question of medical liability in psychiatry has special implications due to the nature and intrinsic aspects of the discipline itself. Following a brief description of the laws regulating the protection of the mentally ill in our country, authors discuss the responsibilities of different professional figures involved in the management of psychiatric patients, both within and out of hospital contexts as well as when legal implications (civil and penal) need to be dealt with. Special attention is addressed to the issue of relaps in the patient's condition and what this entails in terms of medical liability for health care that takes on "guarantor's position". Medical liability occurs at times of diagnosis, therapy or prognosis and in special conditions such as drug treatment, psychotherapy and constriction. Authors also analyse the ethical and deontological problems tied to consenting of medical procedures

MtDNA: A successful identification case in burned remains
No full textSome human carbonized remains were found in a wood near a lake. Investigations and a macroscopic analysis of the remains led suspicions to a killed and burned 20-year-old man. To identify with certitude the remains, nuclear DNA from the remains and from the alleged mother were analysed. Only at vWA locus an exclusion was found. Because of the delicacy of the case (a murder) and since only the alleged mother's DNA was available, a mt-DNA analysis was performed. It was found a good correlation in both HV1 and HV2 regions between the DNA from the remains and the mother's
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
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
