La soglia di concretezza delle chances perdute: limite minimo o limite massimo?
No full textLa recente giurisprudenza, di legittimità come di merito, offre l’occasione di ragionare ancora sul danno da perdita di chances, in particolare nei casi in cui a sfumare siano le possibilità di carriera professionale di vario tipo, a cagione di illeciti concorsuali o lesioni all’integrità fisica nel caso di ambizioni sportive agonistiche.
In tale ambito, la riflessione si incentra sulle soglie minime di concretezza richieste dalla giurisprudenza per dare dignità risarcitoria alle chances perdute, le cui indicazioni in termini di «ragionevole certezza» o di «elevate probabilità di successo» del risultato ambito producono evidenti problemi di sovrapposizione con la causalità ordinaria, da un lato, e di coerenza interna alla teoria stessa della perdita di chances, dall’altro
“Exécution forcée en nature” tra vecchi e nuovi modelli italo-francesi
No full textLo studio in parallelo dei rimedi contrattuali specifici, rispettivamente, secondo il modello italiano e francese, conduce a riflessioni incrociate sul percorso seguito dal legislatore, e accompagnato dalle stratificazioni giurisprudenziali, nella disciplina dell’adempimento e dell’esecuzione in forma specifica. La sovrapposizione tra i diversi piani della cognizione e dell’esecuzione, veicolate da noi dalle norme di cui agli artt. 2930 ss. cod. civ., è incoraggiata, in Francia, dall’ambivalenza della stessa espressione “exécution forcée en nature” di cui agli artt. 1217 ss. code civil, che viene usata per indicare entrambi i concetti dell’adempimento e dell’esecuzione in forma specifica. Aggiunge complessità al quadro la figura del risarcimento in natura, che per le non rare interferenze con il rimedio restitutorio si sovrappone, in modi che a volte sono parsi inestricabili, agli effetti propri della tutela reintegratoria, data in questo contesto dall’azione di adempimento
Dal danno da perdita di chances (terapeutiche) al danno da lesione del diritto all’autodeterminazione: l’evoluzione della giurisprudenza in tema di incertezza del nesso causale nella responsabilità medica
No full textBeyond its indisputable practical role, the instrument of “loss of chances” gives the authors many reasons to doubt about its coherence inside the system of civil liability.
An investigation on the injury arising from the loss of chances, beside the examination of the “minimum size” that the chance should consist of in order to allow its loss to get restored, leads the Author to the conclusion of an internal contradiction inside the notion of “loss of chance”; contradiction that the jurisprudence has not solved, nor helped with the notion of “injury in the right of self-determination”
Il danno da perdita di chances tra le ragioni della vittima e le regole del sistema
No full textAl di là della sua innegabile funzione pratica, la categoria della perdita di chances presta il fianco a varie perplessità, a cominciare dal tema dell’individuazione dell’evento lesivo di riferimento, per proseguire con la soglia minima di “concretezza” che la chance deve possedere affinché sia data dignità risarcitoria al danno derivante dalla sua perdita. L’analisi parallela di entrambi tali profili porta alla conclusione che la ricerca di un equilibrio tra vittime e danneggianti “incerti” debba abbandonare il canale della responsabilità civile, che, nel risarcire un pregiudizio solo plausibile, è destinata ad una perenne oscillazione tra derive equitative e soggettivismi sanzionatori del giudice.Beyond its indisputable practical role, the instrument of “loss of chance” gives the authors many reasons to doubt about its coherence inside the system of civil liability. An investigation on the injury arising from the loss of chance, beside the examination of the “minimum size” that the chance should consist of in order to have its loss restored, leads the Author to the conclusion that an equilibrium among “uncertain victims” and “uncertain tortfeasors” should be found out of the area of civil liability
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
