    The literature dealing with the children of couples who separate has always privileged the study of young children, and the transition to adulthood seems to forget that children remain still, and their lived experience of separation is no less important than of a child. To cover this gap, as part of a national project MIUR on "Family instability: causal aspects and consequences of demographic, economic and social", a survey was conducted on all students attending classes or older V of higher educational institutions of the province Udine to explore how the older guys just have been able to re-shape their experience and are now able to reflect on some important aspects that have marked this event. This paper tries to answer some questions: how children react when parents separate? behave as parents with children in case of separation? when a child accepts the parents' separation? what opinions they have on the family, children and the values of life? If you ask to compare the opinions of the children of separated parents and not separated as a whole, there was a internal consistency on the two most common reactions: the children would agree not to separate sadness (55.4%) and feelings of abandonment (47, 8%) and just under a quarter would feel angry (23.2%), while the children of separated, despite the sadness of the circumstances, have the maturity and objectivity to recognize that the separation becomes the only solution to restore peace between the parents (40.9%). Many students have gained a greater sense of responsibility (28.7%), although there are other emotional reactions. Furthermore, by comparing the reactions of the boys exchanged with the distance between the parents' separation and detection, it is noted that emotions do not remember taking different weight depending on the distance from the event. A comparison between the reflections of young people with experience of parental separation, we note that, mostly, children seem to have been at the center of their thoughts (48.6%) and the concern to protect them (33.7%). 26.0% believed to have been involved in the separation between them and 42% felt "used" to support the positions of either spouse and 79% of these children did not feel "protected" parents from their relational event. In reality there are few parents who kept their children out of the problems of separation (15.6%). The separation helps children to react in different ways, but there is a time when we can say that a child accepts this separation, or is an event that has no solution? Nearly 50% of children of separated believes it depends on the age of child at the time of the event or the moment is his inner balance (45.0%), it is 15.6% is related to the time when parents find a new balance and to many it seems that it can never happen. To verify whether and to what extent the story lived in the family is able to influence the reference models concerning the family as an institution and value statements have been prepared some who were asked to express their agreement or disagreement. For 89,4% of children of separated "is better to have separated parents that unhappy" and 76.4% "is right that parents separate they rebuild a new family." The idea that "marriage in modern society is a separate institution" is shared by 46.7% of the children of separated and from 35.9% of the children of intact families. The family is still a value but not necessarily identify with the marriage and this opinion is confirmed indirectly by the idea that cohabitation is still a loving (thinks that 88,2% of all boys). It analyzes some factorial scales of the importance of achieving certain goals, highlights three factors, which alone explains 87% of the observed variability and are identifiable in a dimension of "effectiveness and stability," oriented to the satisfaction of material needs ( have a home, realize their dreams and find a stable job), in a "family", identified through the projects to raise a family and have children and a third dimension perfectly correlated with the final goal of career studies, or graduation. Finally, if you analyze those that are considered the most important values from young high school, the first place is for all the love (just over 70%) and friends, followed by the health and family for the children of for children of separated and unseparated family comes first and then health. At the bottom of the list we find the coherence, solidarity, religious values and, most recently, the study, highlighting a tendency for complex traits in the profile of values that animate the children of V above

    Orthobiologics for the Treatment of Muscle Lesions

    Muscle injuries lead to a functional impairment and to a subsequent considerable absence from training and competition, with potentially significant consequences on the athlete’s season and career. Therefore, the management of muscle tears and the choice of treatment strategy represent a challenging topic. To achieve a quick yet full recovery, there is a continuous search for innovative treatments to improve and accelerate the muscle healing process. As a result of these efforts, several orthobiologic approaches have been introduced for the management of muscle injuries. To gain more insight on the clinical evidence about the available innovative injective treatments is mandatory to improve the outcomes of patients affected by muscle tears. The aim of this chapter is to provide an overview of the main features of muscle injuries and to analyse the scientific evidence about the clinical results of different emerging orthobiologic approaches, with a particular focus on platelet-rich plasma (PRP), in the management of this kind of injuries

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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 link
    We 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

    We 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
