    Nuovi spazi di coltivazione e futuro interessante per l’Annona cherimola

    No full text
    La coltivazione dell’annona in Calabria, sebbene con qualche difficoltà legata alla fisiologia della specie, è possibile con risultati produttivi e qualitativi promettenti. I frutti hanno conquistato il mercato interno spuntando prezzi interessanti per i produttori anche se le superfici coltivate sono ancora piuttosto limitate. L’aumento della domanda commerciale e le caratteristiche qualitative dei frutti lasciano presagire un possibile ampliamento delle coltivazioni

    Cresce l’interesse per le colture tropicali. Il caso della papaia in Sicilia

    No full text
    Ampiamente coltivata e apprezzata nei Paesi tropicali, alle nostre latitudini la papaia interessa ancora superfici esigue sebbene la domanda del mercato europeo mostri trend in continua ascesa. Si fregia dell’appellativo di ‘superfood’ in virtù delle sue peculiari proprietà nutraceutiche. Molto resta ancora da fare per mettere a punto la gestione agronomica e post-raccolt

    The best interest of children born through medically assisted procreation procedures as construed in 2021 Italian Constitutional Court rulings 32 and 33

    Full text link
    The authors have set out to briefly analyze the 2021 Constitutional Court rulings n.32 and 33, regarding the situation of children born in, or otherwise being raised by, same-sex couples. Such judgments address the problem by taking into account the fundamental principle of the child’s best interests. This article is meant to highlight the issues that may arise if such interests were to be translated into specific law provisions or safeguards for the children’s sake. Moreover, the authors aimed to focus on the valuable elements laid out in the Court rulings, while also highlighting the more critical and controversial elements therein

    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

    The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the metformin administration in patients with previous reproductive failures. Inclusion criteria: 13 patients with chronic anovulation and PCOS, age < 38 years old, sterility not less than 2 years, C.C. resistance, conception failure in previous cycles with only r-FSH and negativity to the multiple miscarriages tests, absence of others infertility factors. Metformin administration started 2 months before the ovulation induction. Alternatively a spontaneous menstruation it was induced by progestin. Ovulation was performed with r-FSH and patients were invited to have sexual intercourse during the 48h after the HCG trigger. Luteal support was administrated. Results showed 100% of ovulatory cycles, 5 pregnancies and only 1 lost. Few side effects

    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
