Presentazione della sessione didattica: "Didattica on-line".
Full text linkL’introduzione delle Nuove Tecnologie dell'Informazione e della Comunicazione (NTIC) nelle pratiche di insegnamento e apprendimento coinvolge tutti gli ordini di scuola. Il panorama applicativo qui delineato rimanda ad un uso
esclusivamente documentaristico della rete, in realtà le tecnologie offrono
alla geografia una policromia di applicazioni che vanno dalla costruzione
di nuova conoscenza, alla creazione di ambienti per la collaborazione e per
la partecipazione fino allo sviluppo di prodotti ipermediali che, riportati
on-line, possono dare una rappresentazione del territorio secondo una
nuova scalarità più collegata all’uso dei sensi in grado di sviluppare
sguardi tridimensionali.
Le testimonianze riportate in questa sessione didattica dimostrano
infatti che tra la geografia e Internet vi sono numerosi punti di
convergenza che caratterizzano da un lato alcuni concetti disciplinari,
come quelli di nodo e rete, dall'altro la struttura stessa di Internet e le sue
interazioni transcalari con i luoghi materiali (ad esempio attraverso i siti
della Pubblica Amministrazione). Nell’ambito della geografia della
comunicazione, in particolare, si è rilevato lo stretto legame tra
telecomunicazioni, distanze e identità, per cui lo studio dei luoghi
telematici sembra essere fondamentale per descrivere le relazioni fra
la società umana e i luoghi sia a livello di gerarchie spaziali sia a livello di
sense of place

Full text linkSexual Dysfunction at the Onset of Type 2 Diabetes: The Interplay of Depression, Hormonal and Cardiovascular Factors
No full textIntroduction. Several data have emphasized the importance of early diagnosis of erectile dysfunction (ED) and
meticulous cardiovascular investigation in the type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) patients.
Aim. To estimate the prevalence of ED and its associated determinants in a sample of male patients with new or
recently diagnosed T2DM.
Methods. The SUBITO-DE study is an observational, multicenter, prospective study involving 27 Italian diabetes
centers. Male patients recently diagnosed with T2DM were consecutively interviewed by their attending physician
at the diabetes care centers and asked whether they had experienced a change in their sexual function or found it
unsatisfactory. Those responding positively were then invited to participate in the study.
Main Outcome Measure. Several hormonal and biochemical parameters were studied.
Results. A nonselected series of 1,503 patients was interviewed, 499 of which (mean age, 58.8 ± 8.8 years) entered the
study, yielding a final enrolment rate of 33.3%. ED was classified as mild in 19.4%, mild-to-moderate in 15.4%,
moderate in 10.4%, and severe in 21.6% of patients, respectively. In addition, premature ejaculation, delayed
ejaculation, and hypoactive sexual desire (HSD) were comorbid in 28.3%, 32.9%, and 58.4%, respectively. Finally,
hypogonadism, showed an estimated prevalence of almost 20%. Both organic (at least one chronic DM-associated
complication) and psychological factors (severe depressive symptoms) increased the risk of ED. Severe depressive
symptoms were also associated with ejaculatory problems, HSD, and hypogonadism.
Conclusions. A high prevalence of sexual dysfunction in men with recently diagnosed T2DM was detected. Early
diagnosis of ED could help prevent emotional and physical discomfort in men and aid in identifying reversible
cardiovascular risk factors. Screening of sexual dysfunction should become a part of routine care in the management
of T2DM patients
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
