Psychological implications of respiratory health and disease
No full textAbstract
The possibility that a subject’s psychological status may
infl uence respiratory sensations and that chronic respiratory
disease may have psychological consequences
has sparked great interest among clinicians and researchers.
This paper reviews the existing research on
the association between respiratory symptom perception
and the psychological status and between chronic
respiratory diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease, and psychological disturbances.
Moreover, it focuses on the role of stressful
events in determining asthma exacerbations. The recent
literature suggests that in patients with chronic respiratory
diseases, the evaluation of breathlessness perception,
psychological disturbances and the recording of
any stressful events should be considered as relevant as
the physical and functional assessment of respiration

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
