La legge che non c'è. Proposta per una legge sulla libertà religiosa in Italia, a cura di Roberto Zaccaria, Sara Domianello, Alessandro Ferrari, Pierangela Floris, Roberto Mazzola, Prefazione di Giuliano Amato
No full textIl saggio intende riflettere sotto il profilo soggettivo dell’art.19 Cost, la necessità nel sistema legislativo italiano di una nuova legge sulla libertà religiosa sostitutiva della legge sui culti ammessi del 1929, al fine di dare una risposta ai complessi problemi pratici di libertà religiosa e di coscienza generati dalle nuove frontiere del pluralismo religioso italiano ed europeo, consapevoli che sarebbe un grave errore dimenticare il profilo etico-spirituale di tale libertà, e sarebbe ancora più ingiustificabile non tenere conto del fatto che la libertà di coscienza e di religione, tanto individuale quanto collettiva, così come avviene per tutte le libertà fondamentali, non costituisce un diritto acquisito per sempre, ma abbisogna d’impegno, prima di tutto civico, nel farsi interprete, non d’una idea di libertà religiosa generica, ma tale da soddisfare, puntualmente e nella debita misura, alle speciali esigenze riconnesse a quei valori umani elementari sussunti nella loro viva concretezza
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
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
The development of forensic imaging in Italy. A systematic review of the literature
No full textObjective
With a specific focus on Italy, the aim of this paper was to assess the development of forensic imaging techniques, to determine which techniques have had a larger diffusion, and to identify the most relevant field of application.
Materials and methods
An online literature search was performed to identify Italian publications on forensic imaging between 1956 and February of 2018. For each publication included in the analysis, the following data were annotated: title and abstract, year of publication, type of article, and number and type of subjects examined. The selected publications were also categorized based on imaging modalities and the forensic field of investigation.
Results
A total of 44 Italian publications were included in the study. Publications of forensic imaging have increased in the last years. More than half of all manuscripts were related to post-mortem investigations (31/44; 70%). The majority of all post-mortem publications were focused on the documentation of injury or disease followed by identification and age estimation category (5/44; 11%). In cases of unnatural death, the principle issue of research was gunshot wounds, followed by asphyxia and drowning. The most commonly used imaging modality was computed tomography (CT).
Conclusions
The results of this study showed an increase of forensic imaging in Italy in the last years. However, a review of the literature demonstrated that imaging techniques are not yet exhaustively adopted by the Italian forensic community, and that further research is needed to provide information about the accuracy of forensic imaging techniques with respect to autopsy
Le istanze di libertà collettiva e istituzionale
No full textIl contributo analizza le norme sulle associazioni e sulle confessioni religiose presenti nella Proposta di legge sulla libertà di coscienza e di religione pubblicata nel volume. Si dà conto anzitutto delle direttive e delle scelte di disciplina adottate dalla Proposta per adeguare la legislazione italiana alle norme e ai principi costituzionali che interessano il fenomeno religioso collettivo. Tenendo conto anche di altre normative nazionali, nonché della giurisprudenza europea, il contributo si sofferma di seguito sulla figura generale delle associazioni con fine di religione o credenza in materia religiosa presa in considerazione dalla Proposta e poi guarda alle previsioni dedicate specificamente alle associazioni con fini di religione o di culto inscritte in appositi registri territoriali. Vengono poi esaminate le norme della Proposta che interessano tutte le confessioni religiose e quelle riferite alle confessioni iscritte in un registro nazionale ad esse dedicato
