    IL RUOLO DEL CONTROLLO NELLO SVILUPPO DI PROGETTI COMPLESSI: IL CASO ECODELM S.R.L.

    No full text
    Per progetti complessi viene in questa sede fatto riferimento alla progettazione e realizzazione di iniziative che richiedono, tra le altre cose, l’investimento di ingenti risorse finanziarie, la partecipazione di numerosi e differenti soggetti e che sono caratterizzate da un’elevata esposizione al rischio. Il loro sviluppo presenta pertanto delle caratteristiche e delle peculiarità tali, le cui modalità di gestione determinano la stessa efficacia dell’intero progetto. Mediante l’analisi di una concreta esperienza già realizzata, il contributo evidenzia, in particolare, il ruolo svolto dai sistemi di pianificazione e controllo ai fini della migliore gestione del processo di definizione ed implementazione di progetti complessi

    Questo articolo descrive i passi che hanno permesso di “inventare” e realizzare l’attrezzatura per la messa in prova di un componente particolarmente critico del controllo motore, vale a dire la molla del corpo farfallato del collettore che, assicurando il rapido ritorno della valvola a farfalla, regola il flusso corretto e controllato dell’aria nel motore

    Electroencephalographic and epilepsy findings in mecp2 duplication syndrome. A family study

    MECP2 duplication syndrome (MECP2 DS) is an X-linked disorder characterized by early-onset hypotonia, poor speech development, recurrent respiratory infections, epilepsy and progressive spasticity. Epilepsy occurs in more than 50% of the affected patients. Generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) are the most common seizure-type described but atonic seizures, absences and myoclonic seizures have also been reported. Electroencephalographic (EEG) and seizure types occurring in MECP2 DS have been poorly investigated. Here we report on two male siblings carrying a maternally-inherited MECP2 duplication. Patients underwent several EEG recordings and long-lasting video-EEG monitoring. The most represented seizure types were myoclonic and atonic seizures. GTCS were rarely observed. In patients, we found a slowing of the background activity with multifocal paroxysmal activity, prominent on the frontal areas. In conclusion, our observations seem to suggest that MECP2 syndrome seem to have a peculiar epileptic pattern mainly characterized by the occurrence of myoclonic seizures, the recognition of which is important in order to undertake an appropriate treatment

    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

    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
