La Russia postimperiale : la tentazione di potenza
No full textLa Russia postimperiale contemporanea, entità statale ritagliata nel 1991 “per differenza”, “ex negativo” dal tessuto dell’Impero sovietico, sta cercando di riaffermare un suo ruolo significativo nella politica internazionale del nuovo millennio. La Russian global resurgence, volta a riacquisire lo status internazionale perduto e a cercare la via per un processo di state-building, si manifesta con una politica estera assertiva, condotta dalla classe politica del Cremlino in gran parte in continuità con la lunga storia imperiale precedente e con, in più, l’odierno rifiuto di vedersi relegata a guida di una mera potenza regionale di rango internazionale “minore”. La sospensione fra un’identità imperiale perduta e una statuale-nazionale difficile da acquisire e da consolidare, provoca imponenti tensioni allo Stato territoriale, sottoposto a forze d’attrazione esterne e crea costanti difficoltà di controllo politico. L’analisi della dimensione interna del processo di consolidamento della nuova Russia, della sua politica estera e, parallelamente, soprattutto militare ed energetica (uso delle risorse di potenza) viene affiancata a quella delle relazioni internazionali del Paese con l’Occidente euroatlantico dopo gli allargamenti delle istituzioni euro-occidentali, cerca di fornire una chiave di lettura (utilizzando gli strumenti della Scienza Politica, degli Studi Strategici e delle Relazioni Internazionali) della realtà di un Paese ancora una volta, malgrado la perdita della sua storica natura imperiale, protagonista delle relazioni internazionali contemporanee. Il volume è stato presentato presso la Camera dei Deputati, alla presenza del Vicemin. Alfonso Urso, dell’On. Santo Versace e del Gen. Luigi Caligaris e a Vercelli, dall’On. Mario Mauro, già Vice-presidente del Parlamento Europeo
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
Towards a European consensus for reporting incidental findings during clinical NGS testing
No full textIn 2013, the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) examined the issue of incidental findings in whole exome and whole genome sequencing, and introduced recommendations to search for, evaluate and report medically actionable variants in a set of 56 genes. At a debate held during the 2014 European Society for Human Genetics Conference (ESHG) in Milan, Italy, the first author of that paper presented this view in a debate session that did not end with a conclusive vote from the mainly European audience for or against reporting back actionable incidental findings. In this meeting report, we elaborate on the discussions held during a special meeting hosted at the ESHG in 2013 from posing the question 'How to reach a (European) consensus on reporting incidental findings and unclassified variants in diagnostic next generation sequencing'. We ask whether an European consensus exists on the reporting of incidental findings in genome diagnostics, and present a series of key issues that require discussion at both a national and European level in order to develop recommendations for handling incidental findings and unclassified variants in line with the legal and cultural particularities of individual European member states
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
