La responsabilità disciplinare nel rapporto di lavoro con la Pubblica Amministrazione
Get PDFThe thesis concerns «The disciplinary responsibility in the labour relationship with the public administration».
Despite the differences with the system of private labour, related to peculiarities of public employment, the legislator is still following the trend of privatization, even after the reform of 2009.
The first chapter analyses the legal basis of disciplinary power, its function and sources of law system regulating disciplinary responsibility. After the so-called “Brunetta Reform”, disciplinary power maintains a private nature, grounded on the employment contract. D.Lgs. no. 150/2009 has enlarged the institutions explicitly regulated by legislative provisions and narrowed the role of collective bargaining agreements. Nonetheless it has not caused a return to a public system of regulation. The disciplinary provisions do not directly aim the protection of public interests, but a private one, concerning the contract of employment. Also the direct effect of the “public employees behaviour code”, provided for by L. n. 190/2012, does not demonstrate that the code is aimed to protect public interests, as proved by a comparison with ethical codes of private enterprises.
The second chapter concerns disciplinary infringements and sanctions. It starts with considerations about public employees’ contractual obligation, especially about due of loyalty, analysed in relationship with the provisions about incompatibility. The pros and cons of the new regulation on the publication of the disciplinary code on Public administration website are also underlined. The disciplinary infringements introduced by legislative provisions are analyzed in comparison with the ones provided by collective bargaining agreements, trying to give an interpretation with the regulation relevant with the principles of private employment contract. Sanctions provided by the legislator are
still to be applied under the proportionality principle. They are aimed to re-establish the regular labour activity. The chapter is concluded by remarks on conservative sanctions and recidivism.
The third chapter analyses some aspects of the disciplinary proceeding, with special reference to time limits and active subjects, in relationship with the function of the disciplinary power. On the basis of the new regulation on the time limits of the disciplinary procedure, the legislator has endorsed public managers with the responsibility of granting the effectiveness of the disciplinary system. Moreover, the
research analyses the limits of collective bargaining agreements’ competence, and how they have performed these their function. The public administration maintains a discretionary power on sanctions. This is proved by the analysis of the discretionary conciliation on disciplinary sanctions (art. 55, par. 3, D.Lgs. no. 165/2001), facultative conciliation (art. 410 et seq C.P.C.) and arbitration. The last is still provided by legislation but cannot be established and regulated by collective bargaining agreement.
Finally the fourth chapter deals with the disciplinary responsibility of the public managers, who have the assignment to wield the power on other public employees with no directive position. Disciplinary action is compulsory by law. However, some exceptions are provided on the basis of certain interpretations of art. 55 sexies, par. 3, D.Lgs. no. 165/2001. According to these ideas, managers are allowed not to apply sanctions under a justified reason, on the basis of their discretional evaluation. Nevertheless, a power whose use is provided as compulsory by law is not necessarily aimed to a public interest. In some cases the compulsory use of powers is provided also in the private sector. In this chapter pros and cons of the new rules on the application of conservative sanctions on public managers are emphasized, and some proposals are formulated in order to improve the effectiveness of the relevant legal regime. The thesis ends with some remarks about the dismissal of public managers, and about the protection in case of unjustified dismissal, considering also the debate about the application to the public employment of the art. 18, L. no. 300/1970, modified by L. no. 92/201

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
