M. Cvetaeva, Ultimi versi. 1938-1941, trad. di P. Napolitano, Voland, Roma 2021, pp. 149.
Full text linkViene proposta la recensione di un volumetto di poesie di Marina Cvetaeva tradotto e curato da Pina Napolitano. Pur evidenziando alcuni limiti filologici e talune scelte linguistiche che sembrano poco meditate (ad es. l'uso di calchi sintattici dal russo), si apprezza nell'insieme l'iniziativa editoriale e la resa generale della cifra cvetaeviana

Expression of steroid receptor coactivator-1 mRNA in the developing mouse embryo: a possible role in olfactory epithelium development
No full textLigand-dependent nuclear hormone receptors (NRs), such as retinoic acid and thyroid hormone receptors, play critical roles in diverse aspects of development. They enhance or repress transcription by recruiting an array of coactivator and corepressor proteins, which function as signaling intermediates between the NRs and the basal transcriptional machinery. To study the possible involvement of these cofactors on tissue-specific regulation of gene expression by NRs, we examined the expression of the coactivator SRC-1 mRNA during mouse embryogenesis by in situ hybridization (ISH). 35S-labeled riboprobe specific for SRC-1 mRNA was used for analysis. The distribution of this transcript was studied from 8.5 to 18.5 embryonic days (E8.5-E18.5) and in postnatal day 15 (P15). The SRC-1 transcript was largely ubiquitously expressed, even on E8.5. At E14.5 and E18.5, highest levels of SRC-1 transcript was found in the olfactory epithelium. Significant SRC-1 hybridization signal was also detected in the neocortex, anterior pituitary and heart. We conclude that (1) SRC-1 mRNA is widely expressed in the developing embryo, and (2) SRC-1 mRNA is expressed at the highest level in the olfactory epithelium, suggesting that this coactivator may be involved in the development and/or function of the olfactory system
The Gadfly di Ethel Lilian Voynich: nuovi dati e interpretazioni
No full textPresentazione delle nuove ricerche sulla scrittrice irlandese E.L. Voynich (1864-1960), autrice del romanzo "The Gadfly" (1897) ambientato nell'Italia del Risorgimento, che è divenuto famoso in tutto il mondo ma non nel paese in cui si svolge la storia. Viene fornita una nuova interpretazione del libro, che sarebbe strutturato come una sorta di Vangelo "rovesciato". Inoltre viene riportato in appendice un elenco delle traduzioni del romanzo in moltissime lingue del mondo, a testimoniare che il romanzo è stato un fenomeno culturale di grande portata internazionale, sebbene finora sostanzialmente ignorato dagli studiosi italiani
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
