DIRITTO DI SOGGIORNO DEI FAMILIARI DEL CITTADINO EUROPEO: EROSIONE DEL LIMITE DELLE SITUAZIONI PURAMENTE INTERNE E DELIMITAZIONE DEL NUCLEO ESSENZIALE DEL DIRITTO DI CITTADINANZA
No full textThe right to move and reside throughout the Union has been traditionally understood as the most important right of EU citizens. According to the Directive 2004/38/EC, which provides the fra- mework for almost all legal issues concerning the free movement of persons, the right to family reunion is accorded only to those citizens who exercise their right to move. The recent EUCJ case law has progressively detached the enjoyments of citizenship rights from the movement requirement set out in the Directive. In some recent cases (Chen, McCarthy, Dereci) the EUCJ has refined the concept of “internal situation”: the fact that the EU citizen has never exercised his/her movement and residence rights cannot prevent the EU law from granting a parallel right of residence to the person primarily responsible for his/her care, irrespective of the carer’s nationality. However, this right may be granted only in those cases where the denial of the right may force the EU citizen to leave the Union, thus infringing the core rights of EU citizenship. Therefore the right to family reunion has to be granted, according to the Court, only to the extent that is necessary to protect the essential core of EU citizenship rights
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Integration of optimal reconfiguration tools in advanced distribution management system
No full textThe paper presents results of a smart grid project, currently on-going, in collaboration with an Italian electricity distribution company (DisCo). The project is aimed at defining new optimization tools to be integrated in the SCADA/DMS that is already implemented within the DisCo control center. In this paper, a DMS architecture that includes Optimal Network Reconfiguration (ONR) functions is presented. ONR, being based on data received through a metering infrastructure and a topology processor, can be performed not only for planning, but also in extended real-time during system operation. Test results are presented for two different operative problems and are carried out on a realistic sized model of a distribution network
