    Based on the lessons learnt from the co-design, development and integration processes, the research findings and the outputs from the engagement with a network of stakeholders over the course of the EU funded initiatives, this chapter is providing a set of reflections about the future directions of the Active and Healthy Ageing challenge. From the demographic perspective, to research considerations and data management directions we have tried to identify some keywords aim to help sketching the future policies and research directions for ageing well in Europe

    mHealth Market Exploitation Through the Analysis of the Related Intellectual Property Rights

    No full text
    mHealth is one of the emerging markets offering numerous opportunities both for the involved stakeholders and for doctors to improve the quality of life of patients. For this reason, a smart analysis of patents and innovations in mHealth together with the identification of the next future challenges is necessary for companies to enter the market and exploit their know-how to match consumer demand. This paper focuses on the analysis of the Intellectual Property Rights in the field of mHealth systems to draw a reference knowledge framework of the mHealth scenario. An up-to-date detailed categorization, the geographical distribution and the identification of top players in mHealth are presented

    Ageing population is a fact in the European countries. How to improve the quality of life and sustain healthy ageing is one of the big challenges that deserve to be addressed considering the several and different aspects of life. But a person is a complex system and the last decades’ approach demonstrated that, even if general or cluster medicine reached good results, the new barriers to overcome are ad hoc solutions, tailored to the single to improve wellbeing and preserve decline. The Personalised Medicine call, SC1-PM-15-2017 Personalised coaching for well-being and care of people as they age, under the Horizon 2020 program, aims at developing and validating new ICT based approaches for empowering and motivating people. This section will introduce the reader to the European scenario, the challenge and the research and innovation action promoted under personalised medicine and the specific call

    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

    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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We 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
