“Amplifying Black Italian voices”. An interview with Leaticia Ouedraogo
No full textThis interview with writer and activist Leaticia Ouedraogo was conducted via email during May and June 2022. Ouedraogo discusses what the concept of intersectionality means to her on a personal, political, and theoretical level, and how it is necessary to adopt an intersectional perspective, along with a decolonial practice, to fight sexism and racism. Starting from her short story “Nassan Tenga” (published in the anthology Future. Il domani narrato dalle voci di oggi [Future: Tomorrow Narrated by the Voices of Today]), the author also discusses the consequences of racism from a psychological and inter-generational perspective. The themes of structural racism, white privilege, decolonization, and intersectionality are articulated by Ouedraogo within the Italian postcolonial context, where they take on specific meanings in light of Italy’s (often removed) colonial history
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
Consumer Boycott, Household Heterogeneity and Child Labour
No full textConsumer boycott campaigns against goods produced using child labour are becoming increasingly popular. Notwithstanding, there is no consensus on which are the eects of such type of activism on child labour. If some agreement is to be found in the recent economic literature, it is that the boycott does not reduce child labour. We contribute to this debate presenting a simple model which shows, instead, that there are conditions under which a consumer product boycott does reduce child labour. We consider a small country two-factor economy populated by heterogeneous households. The boycott aects both the adult and the child labour markets. The income distribution determines how these changes aect child labour at the household level. We derive the conditions under which the consumer boycott reduces child labour also for some of the households whose' income is - before the boycott - under the subsistence level
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
Clinical reliability of CAD/CAM cross-arch zirconia bridges on immediately loaded implants placed with computer-assisted/template-guided surgery: a retrospective study with a follow-up between 3 and 5 years
No full textthe purpose of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the implant and prosthetic survival and success rates of zirconia-based, implant-supported, screw-retained, cross-arch restorations up to 5 years after placement.
materials and methods
twenty-two consecutive edentulous patients (11 males and females, each; mean age 68.3 years) received 26 CAD/CAM cross-arch zirconia implant bridges (nobelproceraTM Implant Bridge zirconia; nobel biocare AG, zurich, switzerland) supported by 4 to 10 implants each. all patients were followed for at least 3 years (range 36–60 months, mean 42.3 months). clinical assessments were scheduled every 4 months during hygiene maintenance. outcomes were implant and prosthetic survival rates, prosthetic success rate, any observed clinical complications, patient satisfaction, and soft tissue parameters. fisher's exact test was used to assess associations between categorical variables.
results
no dropouts occurred. the overall implant and prostheses survival rate up to 5 years was 100%. three out of 26 restorations (five out of three hundred forty eight dental units) showed an adhesive chip-off fracture of the veneering ceramic, scoring a cumulative prosthetic success rate of 88.5% at the prosthetic level and 98.6% at the unit level. all 22 patients were functionally and aesthetically highly satisfied with their restorations. successful soft tissue parameters were found around all implants.
conclusions
industrially manufactured, zirconia-based, implant-supported, screw-retained, cross-arch restorations are a viable alternative to conventionally manufactured porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations for rehabilitating the edentulous patient
