La questione estetica nella filosofia di Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno
Full text linkIl seguente lavoro si presenta come una indagine sulla relazione tra "negatività" e "possibilità" nella filosofia di Adorno, e a partire da essa. Sforzo della ricerca, è stato quello di rendere conto della radicale "inattualità" che accompagna il "possibile" come tale, seguendone il differenziato dispiegamento sul piano teoretico, estetico e linguistico. Soffermarsi e insistere sul carattere irresolubile della "potenza" e della "contingenza" significa cogliere in modo rigoroso il luogo denso di "paradossi" della "dialettica negativa" adorniana, tentando faticosamente di delineare, di volta in volta, lo spazio indeterminabile in cui si rende possibile l'elaborazione di nuove forme di appropriazione della vita e configurazione del senso. Come, per Adorno, l'opera d'arte palesa esemplarmente, il fare, il dire e l'agire umani non esauriscono mail il "possibile" che ovunque li attornia. Articolare questa impossibilità di compimento e traduzione esaustiva è uno dei tratti peculiari della riflessione adorniana e del ruolo protagonista che la dimensione estetica svolge in essa. A partire da tale "grammatica del possibile", l' "utopia" di questo esercizio di pensiero coincide con il tentativo indefesso di restituire questo duraturo "non-ancora" insito nel nostro fare e parlare, incuneato nella relazione negativo-differenziale che divide e articola a un tempo il linguaggio e il mondo, il dicibile e il sensibile, il divario incolmabile tra espressione linguistica e esperienza sensibile
Preface to [ Connected Images: New Paradigms for Aesthetic Experience]
No full textThe present issue of Paradigmi revolves around the notion of image. Not primarily, however, of image as a relation ‘between’ heterogeneous or homogeneous elements but as an ‘assembled event’ that determines a new condition in current aesthetic experience, i.e. the experience of “connected images”. Connected images can have a variety of intentional and non-intentional relations with each other characterized by association, mediation or correspondence, but also conflict, interference and contradiction. This becomes a significant factor in performing processes, generating a multifaceted ‘exchange’. What comes into view straight away are processes of individuation and dynamics of connection through image-trajectories and re-presentation – in art, science or in the public space –, and the ways connected images increasingly support an environment coexistent with technology. In order to gain access to the full significance and scope of connected images on the one side and of connections within the image on the other, the articles collected in the issue explore from different standpoints and points of departure how images are modified when they become connected
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
Gastric outlet obstruction due to inflammatory fibroid polyp
No full textINTRODUCTION: Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is a rare mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. The lesion is characterized by spindle-shaped stromal cells and an inflammatory infiltrate rich in eosinophils. CASE REPORT: The AA. present a case of the IFP of the stomach. A 85-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital for early vomiting and epigastric pain. The patient underwent a gastroduodenoscopy that revealed a polypoid lesion mimicking cancer of the antrum and subtotal obstruction of the gastric transit. CONCLUSIONS: The Endoscopic Ultrasound Sonography suggested the presence of a lesion of the submucosal layer such as lymphoma or other type of malignancy like gastrointestinal stromal tumor (G.I.S.T)
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
