Potential of Deployment of Virtual and Augmented Reality in Emergency Management Training via an Exploratory Interview Study
No full textThis article presents the outcome of an exploratory survey aimed to detecting the strengths and
weaknesses and the degree of acceptance of the use of virtual and augmented reality in training of
confined or suspected pollution environments workers. Forty-five Italian professionals (public and
private) that work in health and safety in workplace, in different roles, have been involved in the
survey (e.g. trainers, augmented and virtual reality specialists, researchers, health personnel). The
analysis of the survey showed that the use of augmented and virtual reality allows several training
sessions in safety, teach workers to perceive the risk and manage the negative emotions that hinder
the success of the work. These reflections helped us to hypothesize a training proposal with the use
of augmented and virtual reality

No full textLa larga fruizione del web e delle nuove tecnologie di comunicazione nella vita quotidiana degli adolescenti ha modificato fortemente le strategie di socializzazione con i pari e con gli adulti, delineando nuovi modelli di interazione tra vita online e offline. La prima parte del testo propone una riflessione sull'uso positivo e negativo delle nuove tecnologie, additandone i possibili fattori di rischio, in particolare del cyberbullismo. La seconda parte offre una panoramica europea di buone pratiche utili per confrontarsi con le condotte aggressive online, descrivendo strategie di prevenzione, linee di intervento ed esperienze scientificamente fondate condotte in diversi Paesi europei. Il testo è stato adottato in ambito accademico da molte università, poichè rappresenta il primo lavoro di sintesi di interventi evidence-based a livello europeo sul cyberbullismo. Il volume rappresenta la sintesi di un lavoro di ricerca nell'ambito di progetti europei condotto dalle curatrici, autrici anche di alcuni capitoli del volume

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
Preface and Summary
No full textThe study reported in this volume was undertaken collaboratively in six countries by a large number of researchers. The study identifies a major concern about life and interaction within preschool settings. Further, it was designed to coordinate with European council concerns regarding education for personal development and social cohesion. We explain how the study was coordinated with European initiatives here, and we wish to express our appreciation for the support provided by the European commission.
The research team that completed the ‘relational approaches’ study have come together over a number of years, with study co-directors having expressed parallel concerns about the development of social competence of young children attending preschool experience. The research teams that we have assembled have helped to expand our expertise – especially in relation to adapting our concerns to the preschool classroom setting.
This research study presented in this volume was written with three main aims.
First, to make school studies and learning attractive for early education and teacher education in the European Union through analysing current peer-based early education experience of young children and making recommendations as to how this experience can lead to enhanced social inclusion, personal and social growth and cognitive development.
Second, to provide for improved education and training for early education teachers through recognising the importance of peer-based early education practices and identifying programmes that may be integrated into classrooms to enhance social inclusion and cognitive development.
Third, to enhance young children’s ability to learn more effectively by providing and legitimising social inclusion and learning attractiveness that may be derived through their peer-based experiences in early education.
Overall, the study described here has met and advanced a number of key objectives in the Lisbon Strategy, with particular focus on education, training and social inclusion young children and their teachers
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
