La mente e gli artefatti tecnologici: un caso di studio
No full textIn this paper we will deal with the relation between conceptual analysis and technological integration in the extended
cognition and mind debate. The question is: is there a conceptual nucleus/core, which is largely independent from empirical
facts like technological integration or will technological progress erase the mind’s boundary by itself? After having
rehearsed the debate’s main points and characteristics, we will confront this problem in the specific case of education.
Here, common practices imply epistemological points of view which (implicitly) endorse or reject an extended conception
of mind and cognition, as the case of competence evaluation will show

INTRODUZIONE
L’assistenza alla cronicità richiede scelte di formule organizzative capaci di identificare
modalità assistenziali più appropriate di quelle “tradizionali” e che possano altresì
coniugare efficacia, efficienza e contenimento dei costi; il Day Service (DS), rappresenta
una valida scelta in diverse realtà regionali tra cui la Sardegna dove esistono interessanti
esperienze già da alcuni anni.
Lo scopo del lavoro è descrivere l’applicazione del DS alla patologia diabetica per
l’importan.za che il suo disease management riveste nell’Isola, dove la prevalenza
raggiunge tassi, per il diabete di tipo 1, superiori a quelli nazionali e sovrapponibili a quelli
della Finlandia.
METODI
Nell’ambito del territorio del Nord Sardegna (in particolare, ASL Olbia) si è voluto
sperimentare un nuovo modello di gestione del diabete dall’età evolutiva a quella adulta
tenendo conto delle risorse umane dedicate nonché della “transizione” da DRG (294, 295)
ai relativi P.A.C.C. (004, 005).
RISULTATI
L’attivazione del DS, dopo le necessarie fasi di formalizzazione e la gestione del follow-up
annuale delle persone affette da diabete, ha permesso di ridurre al minimo il numero di
accessi alle strutture sanitarie migliorando la qualità dell’assistenza erogata. In particolare,
l’esperienza maturata in ambito pediatrico ha portato alla formulazione di un P.A.C.C.
dedicato per il quale è stata richiesta formale approvazione alla Regione.
CONCLUSIONI
La capacità di efficientamento e di sviluppo di nuovi modelli organizzativi costituisce il
punto di partenza per attuare innovazione organizzativa e appropriatezza. Il modello
organizzativo di DS realizzato nella ASL di Olbia, sebbene da migliorare in relazione agli
aspetti informativi, costituisce un esempio di chronic care model e, come tale, una sfida
nella gestione delle malattie croniche come il diabete proprio grazie ad un approccio
proattivo tra il personale sanitario e i pazienti diabetici sia adulti che pediatrici.

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
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
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
