No full textScared by you: modulation of bodily self by emotional body-postures in autism.
No full textObjective: Bodily self-recognition is one aspect of our ability to distinguish between self and others and
is central to effective socialization. Here we explored the influence of emotional body postures on bodily
self-processing in typically developing (TD) as well as in high-functioning ASD children. Method:
Subjects’ bodies were photographed while expressing endogenously- (self-generated, Experiment 1) or
exogenously-driven body emotions (imitated upon request, Experiment 2). Postures conveying positive
(happiness), negative (fearful) and neutral valences were used. These pictures served as stimuli in a visual
matching-to-sample task with self and others’ body-images. Results: A similar self-versus-others
advantage was found in TD and in ASD children, since participants were faster with stimuli representing
their own than others’ body. This “self-advantage” was modulated by self-expressed emotional body
postures being present with pictures of happy and neutral, but not fearful body images. This modulation
was stronger when emotional postures were endogenously rather than exogenously driven. Moreover,
faster responses were observed for others’ fearful rather than happy or neutral body images in both
groups. Conclusions: The bodily self-advantage is a low-level function present in typically developing
(TD) and in high-functioning ASD children. Body postures, especially when they are endogenously
generated, modulate the self and others’ body processing. The advantage for processing others’ fearful,
comparing to others’ happy and neutral, body postures may have played a crucial evolutionary role for
species survival
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
Fondamento, funzioni e limiti delle moderne forme di impunità retroattiva
No full textIl saggio analizza la tipologia e il fondamento di quelle cause sopravvenute di non punibilità (amnistia, condono edilizio, condoni tributari, ecc.), che, privilegiando un ben determinato criterio temporale, guardano al passato con l’obbiettivo di ‘rimettere’ la sanzione penale. Muovendo dalla distinzione tra le forme di clemenza ‘tipica’, come l’amnistia, in cui la clementia principis si fonda sopra connotati di eccezionalità e di irripetibilità, e di clemenza ‘atipica’ (i diversi, moderni condoni), l’Autore si sofferma, in particolare, su questa seconda tipologia di non punibilità, evidenziandone, quanto agli effetti, l’impunità retroattiva che consegue a condotte di premialità, legate, come sottolineato in alcune sentenze della Corte Costituzionale, al compimento di prestazioni utili ad una reintegrazione, totale o parziale, e in ogni caso tardiva, del bene protetto dalla fattispecie incriminatrice, ovvero alla tutela di un bene diverso ma comunque ‘interno’ al sistema in cui operano. La conclusione, a cui si perviene, è che, rispetto alla cornice di legittimità di tali interventi, disegnata dalla Corte Costituzionale, talune forme di condono edilizio e tributario si pongano al di fuori di tale cornice, perché puntano essenzialmente a ricavare ulteriore gettito in favore dello Stato, senza che si sia in presenza di comportamenti protesi alla reintegrazione del bene leso o di un bene, sia pure indirettamente, legato al primo
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
