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
Un caso di leptospirosi in un cane
No full textA stray 1 year-old male mongrel was
referred to our Veterinary Teaching
Hospital of Bari University. The animal
exhibited severe depression, jaundice
and hypothermia. Clinical findings, CBC
and the biochemical profile suggested
the dog had leptospirosis, which was
later confirmed by positive PCR and
microagglutination tests.
Leptospirosis is now considered to be
a “re-emerging” zoonosis in Italy given
that certain Leptospira serovars, such
as Leptospira Grippotyphosa and
Leptospira Bratislava, are not included
in current vaccine prophylaxis programs.
As they are not regularly vaccinated,
stray dogs are susceptible to all Leptospira
serovars and thus represent a potential
source of infection for humans

Prevalence of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among the students of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Bari, Italy
No full textA case of equine aspergillosi: A novel sampling procedure for diagnosis.
No full textAspergillus spp. may induce equine respiratory infections such as fungal pneumonia,
guttural pouch mycosis, and systemic infection in immunocompromised individuals. This
study describes a case of probable respiratory aspergillosis in a horse presenting clinical
signs of the upper airway disease different from those previously reported. Nasopharyngeal
swabs and guttural pouch centesis were performed, and Aspergillus flavus was
isolated and identified. Following 30 days of pharmaceutical treatment with itraconazole,
clinical signs resolved. Results suggested that aspergillosis should be included in the
differential diagnosis of upper airway infections, guttural pouch centesis may be useful to
make a correct diagnosis, and itraconazole is efficacious in the treatment of A flavus
infection
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
