Local report : the case of Turin, Italy
No full textReducing poverty and social exclusion is one of the main challenges for ensuring social
cohesion in Europe. The research project COPE – Combating Poverty in Europe: Reorganising
Active Inclusion through Participatory and Integrated Modes of Multilevel
Governance – analyses trends of poverty and social exclusion in Europe, and examines the
dynamics of minimum income protection policies that potentially help alleviate the risk of
poverty in Europe. A particular focus is on the situation of single mothers, long-term
unemployed and the working poor, who face particular risks of poverty and social exclusion.
To what extent have minimum income policies functioned as last resort social security for
these three groups, and in what sense can ‘active inclusion’ policies credited with protecting
them from poverty and social exclusion?
Co-financed by the European Commission in the 7th Framework Programme, the COPE
project unites researchers and stakeholders from six European countries, the UK, Italy,
Poland, Sweden, and Norway. Having started in February 2012, COPE runs over a three-year
period. COPE’s method is comparative – analysing developments in five European countries
(Poland, Germany, UK, Sweden and Italy). Its focus is inherently multi-level, looking in turn
at developments at European, national and local level.
The present report is part of COPE’s effort to uncover the dynamics of local level policy
reforms in the area ‘active inclusion’, namely reforms affecting local policies that specify the
adequacy of minimum income benefits, the provision of employment services, as well as the
organisation of access to social services. It focuses particularly on the three groups’ single
mothers, long-term unemployed persons, as well as the working poor.
The present report is complemented by local case studies covering developments in the other
four countries. It feeds into a comparative report on similarities and differences in the
development of minimum income protection across Europe, to be published later in 2013
Invecchiamento del sistema cardiovascolare
No full textL’età è un fattore di rischio indipendente per patologie cardiovascolari. L’elevata prevalenza di patologie quali ipertensione arteriosa, cardiopatia ischemica e scompenso cardiaco potrebbe essere determinata sia da un processo intrinseco di invecchiamento dell’apparato cardiovascolare che comporta una riduzione della riserva funzionale degli organi che lo compongono, che da una più lunga esposizione ad altri fattori di rischio
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

No full textAppropriate 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
