ONYCHOMYCOSIS IN CHILDREN
No full textOnychomycosis in children is rare, with an approximate worldwide prevalence, in children below the age of 18 years, lower than 0.5%. Dermatophytes are responsible for the great majority of the cases, with distal subungual onychomycosis of one toenail as the most frequent clinical variety. Candida sp. may invade the nails only in predisposed children, usually producing a total onychomycosis. Care should be taken when diagnosing onychomycosis in children, as the sole clinical appearance is not enough to establish the diagnosis and mycology is always mandatory

TREATMENT OF NAIL PSORIASIS WITH COMBINATION OF TOPICAL TAZAROTENE AND UREA-CONTAINING NAIL LACQUER: PRELIMINARY EXPERIENCE ON 6 PATIENTS
No full textPSORIASI OF THE NAILS IS VERY COMMON, AFFECTING UP TO 80% OF PATIENTS WITH SKIN LESIONS, AND ALSO OCCURRING AS ISOLATED NAIL DISEASE. NAIL PSORIASIS IS MORE COMMON IN PATIENTS WITH SEVERE DISEASE AND IN THOSE WITH PSORIATIC ARTHOPATHY AND IS CONSIDERED BY THE NAIL DYSTROPHIES, AND OFTEN FRUSTATED BY PREVIOUS INEFFECTIVE OR POORLY TOLERATED TREATMENTS. COMBINATION OF TOPICAL DRUGS AND PRODUCTS WITH DIFFERENT MODE OF ACTION AND MODALITY OF APPLICATION IS PROBABLY THE BEST WAY TO OBTAIN IMPROVEMENT OF NAIL PSORIASIS, IN ORDER TO TARGET BOTH NAIL BED AND NAIL MATRIX SYMPTON. THE COMBINED TREATED WITH TOPICAL TAZAROTENE AND UREA CONTANING NAIL LACQUER IS A VALID THERAPEUTIC OPTION IN THESE PATIENT
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
Ri-costruire la rovina. Progetti per il recupero della torre campanaria a Morra de Sanctis
No full textIl complesso rapporto tra rovina e progetto si è realizzato nei nostri territori, in particolare nell’Irpinia post-terremoto, nella ricostruzione “com’era dov’era” di quanto distrutto con la conseguente perdita della identità e originalità storico-architettonica del manufatto, oppure separando l’esercizio di memoria dalla pratica quotidiana della vita. Nell’ottica di una salvaguardia dei territori e di una valorizzazione dei centri urbani minori, compito del progetto non può più essere quello di separare ma di unire storia, memoria e vita, di interrogarsi sulle tecniche e sugli strumenti per realizzare questa contemporaneità di forma e di uso che la storia delle trasformazioni urbane è sempre riuscita a compiere con le sue stratificazioni, riutilizzandone i materiali per costruire i nuovi manufatti.
Scritti di: Francesco Polverino, Francesca Bruni, Giovanni Zucchi, Chiara Barbieri, Paolo Liguori, Celestino Grassi, Francesco Viola, Mario Cristiano. Il volume raccoglie i progetti dei 42 studenti dell’ultimo anno del corso di laurea in Ingegneria Edile-Architettura della “Federico II” di Napoli che nei quattro giorni di lavoro collettivo sul campo, si sono confrontati col tema della riconfigurazione del frammento in relazione all’attribuzione di un nuovo ruolo urbano, architettonico e paesaggistico del campanile della chiesa dei SS.Pietro e Paolo a Morra de Sanctis
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
Giovanni Sabadino degli Arienti y la obra Pudica Isabella
Full text linkEl manuscrito de la obra de Giovanni Sabadino degli Arienti Pudica Isabel se conserva inédito en la Sächsische Landesbibliothek de Dresde. De esta obra el autor realizó dos redacciones. Una, Trattato de Pudicizia, es posterior a 1484, año en que murió su esposa Francesca Bruni, y la dedicó a su cuñada, Colomba Bruni. Años más tarde, escribió otra versión, que dedicó a Isabel la Católica, bajo el título de Pudica Isabel, como el mismo autor declara. Nuestro artículo plantea unas cuestiones sobre la naturaleza de esta obra y las fuentes clásicas de los exempla que usó el autor.-- The manuscript of Giovanni Sabadino degli Arienti Pudica Isabel is kept unpublished in the Sächsische Landesbibliothek in Dresde. The author made two redactions of this work. One Trattato de Pudicizia after 1484, the year his wife Francesca Bruni died, which he dedicated to his sister-in-law, Colomba Bruni. Years later he wrote another version, which he dedicated to Isabella of Castile, under the title of Pudica Isabel, as the author himself declares. Our article raises some questions about the nature of this work and the classical sources of the exempla used by the author
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
