Il disputandum come pratica educativa nella scuola primaria
Full text linkThe contribution looks at disputandum as a possible educational practice aimed at children who attend primary school in order to train them in early years on founded and ethically oriented discussion and rigorous reasoning. Such an education in discussion and reason is more urgent today given the risks and challenges we are immersed in, with particular regard to the younger generations. It is an education that questions Arendtian thought – and therefore Kantian thought – in order to understand the margins within which it is possible to recognize the theoretical foundations of an educational practice in primary school that promotes the ability at an early stage to discuss with others in a dialogical manner, through well-founded arguments and in view of an intersubjectively conceived, desired and acted position, in the name of the common good.Il contributo guarda al disputandum come a una possibile pratica educativa rivolta ai bambini e alle bambine che frequentano la scuola primaria al fine di esercitarli precocemente a un discutere e a un argomentare rigorosi, fondati ed eticamente orientati. Un’educazione al discutere e all’argomentare che è quanto mai urgente oggi a fronte dei rischi e delle sfide entro i quali siamo immersi, con particolare riguardo proprio alle giovani generazioni. È un’educazione che interroga il pensiero arendtiano – e quindi kantiano – al fine di comprendere entro quali margini sia possibile riconoscervi le fondamenta teoretiche di una pratica educativa nella scuola primaria che promuova precocemente la capacità di disputare con gli altri in modo dialogico, attraverso argomentazioni fondate e in vista di una presa di posizione pensata, voluta e agita intersoggettivamente in nome del bene comune
THC/CBD oromucosal spray in patients with multiple sclerosis overactive bladder: a pilot prospective study
No full textLower urinary tract dysfunctions (LUTDs) are commonly reported in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and are mainly related to neurogenic overactive bladder (OAB). The aim of this observational study was to assess the effect of a tetrahydrocannabinol-cannabidiol (THC/CBD) oromucosal spray on resistant OAB by means of clinical and instrumental tools. Twenty-one MS patients were screened, and 15 cases have been evaluated. They underwent a specific clinical assessment (overactive bladder symptom score, OABSS) and a urodynamic assessment evaluating the maximal cystometric capacity (CCmax), bladder compliance (Qmax), maximum detrusor pressure (Pdet max), detrusor pressure at the first desire (Pdet first), bladder volume at the first desire (BVFD), leakage volume (LV), and post-void residual volume (PVR), before and after 4 weeks of THC/CBD administration. A complete neurological evaluation, including the assessment of their spasticity using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) and the spasticity 0-10 numerical rating scale (NRS), was performed at the same times. Mobility was evaluated through the 25-ft walking-time test (T25-WT). The THC/CBD treatment successfully reduced the OAB symptoms (p = 0.001). Regarding the urodynamic findings after the end of treatment, PVR was significantly reduced (p = 0.016). Regarding the urodynamic findings after the end of treatment, PVR was significantly reduced (p = 0.016), while BVFD and CCmax were increased although the difference was not statistically significant. THC/CBD oromucosal spray has shown to be effective in improving overactive bladder symptoms in MS patients demonstrating a favorable impact on detrusor overactivity
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
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
Capacità di giudicare. Per uno spazio digitale a misura umana
Full text linkLo spazio digitale, se da un lato si offre all'uomo per le sue pressoché illimitate potenzialità, al contempo lo richiama a un compito di responsabilità. È un compito che lo impegna in un costante lavoro di orientamento della trasformazione e dell'innovazione digitale affinché sia in grado tanto di esprimersi al massimo delle sue qualità quanto di mantenersi a misura umana. Proprio l'assunzione di questo compito chiama in causa l'esercizio di una delle più straordinarie capacità umane: la capacità di giudicare
