    Il contributo presenta i risultati di uno studio esplorativo condotto nel 2017-2018 presso l’Ateneo Federiciano, nell’ambito dei servizi specifici offerti dalla Sezione di Promozione dell’Occupabilità del Centro di Ateneo Sinapsi.Nello specifico, lo studio riporta gli esiti di uno screening dei livelli di occupabilità percepita dagli studenti attraverso la somministrazione del questionario Avo Giovani (Grimaldi et al., 2015) messo a punto e validato dall’Inapp. Lafinalità principale dello studio esplorativo è stataquella di mettere a punto un percorso di orientamento specialistico per gli studenti,ancorato al costrutto di Occupabilitàsostenibile. In un’ottica preventiva é importante promuovere l’occupabilità degli studenti giàdurante il percorso di studi, in modo daconsentire loro di gestire attivamente e consapevolmente i processi legati allaprefigurazione e allo sviluppo della carrierap r o f e s s i o n a l e , q u i n d i , i l p a s s a g g i o dall’università al mondo del lavoro

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Hepatocarcinoma: genetic and epigenetic features

    HCC is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, accounting for about 1 million deaths annually. The incidence of HCC is highest in Asia and Africa, where the endemic high prevalence of hepatitis B and hepatitis C strongly predisposes to the development of chronic liver disease and subsequent development of HCC. Patients with HCC generally present at an advanced stage due to compensated cirrhosis defined by the absence of pathognomonic symptoms, resulting in death within 6 to 20 months, suggesting an urgent need in treatment modalities that will dramatically decrease the mortality rate of HCC. The molecular hepatocarcinogenesis is, however, a gradual process during which genetic alterations progressively accumulate and lead to HCC through intermediate preneoplastic stages. With the advent of whole genome sequencing tools, various mutations associated with HCC have been identified, which have advanced our molecular understanding of HCC. However, the frequency of these mutations is rare, and these genetic mutations only partly explain the etiology of the disease. Better understanding and characterization of novel genetic and epigenetic alterations, which are important to hepatocarcinogenesis, may help understand the molecular pathogenesis of HCC, as well as providing novel therapeutic targets for HCC treatment. Further consideration should be given to developing more effective molecular diagnostic markers and targeted drug therapy

    Variations on the Author

    “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
