Performance without understanding: How ChatGPT relies on humans to repair conversational trouble
Full text linkPütz O, Esposito E. Performance without understanding: How ChatGPT relies on humans to repair conversational trouble. Discourse and Communication . 2024;18(6).LLM-based chatbots' ability to generate contextually appropriate and informative texts can be taken as an indication that they are also able to understand text. We argue instead that the separation of the two competences to generate and to understand text is the key to their performance in dialog with human users. This argument requires a shift in perspective from a concern with machine intelligence to a concern with communicative competence. We illustrate our argument with empirical examples of what conversation analysis calls 'repair', showing that the management of trouble by chatbots is not based on an underlying understanding of what is going on but rather on their use of the feedback by human conversational partners. In the conclusion we suggest that strategies for the interaction between chatbots and users should not aim to improve computational skills but to develop a new communicative competence

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

No full textNon-phospholipid vesicles as carriers for peptides and proteins: production, characterization and stability studies
No full textIn the present study, the preparation, characterization and activity of non-phospholipid vesicles (NPV) containing three aminoacid-based molecules were described. As model compounds trypsin, bovine basic pancreatic inhibitor and polylysine rich peptides derived from the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein B were employed. NPV were chosen as alternative to liposomes for the possible administration of aminoacid based molecules via mucous membrane (nasal or vaginal) routes. NPV containing the indicated model drugs have shown to be more stable in term of size with respect to liposomes encapsulating the same model drugs previously produced by our group [Cortesi, R. Argnani, R., Esposito, E., Dalpiaz, A. Scatturin, A., Bortolotti, F., Lufino, M., Guerrini, R., Incorvaia, C., Menegatti, E., Manservigi, R., 2006. Cationic liposomes as potential carriers for ocular administration of peptides with antiherpetic activity. Int. J. Pharm. 317, 90–100]. In addition our study
indicates that the produced NPV (i) are able to encapsulate the model drugs over 49%, (ii) are characterized by dimensions compatible with applications on the mucous membrane, (iii) remain stable in size for at least 3 months and (iv) can release the model drug (after a slight lag time)
in a controlled fashion as compared to that of the corresponding free solution
