Guida alla valutazione del danno psichico
No full textIl volume tratta la valutazione del danno dal punto di vista giuridico, psicologico e medico legale. Vengono affrontati i principali problemi metodologici anche grazie alla presentazione di casi e di esempi di relazione peritale. vengono affrontati temi come il mobbing, il lutto e il trauma.La particolare rilievo viene dato a come il setting forense renda specifica la metodologia del lavoro sociale e clinico di valutazione, negli aspetti di comunicazione, di colloquio, di relazione scritta. il tema del danno rappresenta uno dei più recenti temi della psicologia giuridica che ha forti valenze sociali, soprattutto per la comunicazione interdisciplinare e le motivazioni sociali al risarcimento, e valenze cliniche, per le modalità e i criteri di accertamento e diagnosi
Merits of the PMiT (papillary microtumor) terminology in the definition of a subset of incidental papillary microcarcinomas of the thyroid.
No full textAn exponential increase in the detection of papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (PTMCs) has been observed in recent times, possibly because of recent improvements in the management of thyroid lesions and extensive histological examination. However, no definitive treatment guideline has been developed for PTMC, resulting in patients undergoing overtreatment. In 2003, the term papillary microtumor of the thyroid (PMiT) was proposed for small (<= 1 cm) intrathyroidal tumors with excellent prognostic prospects along with strict definition criteria. Since then, the term PMiT has been adopted by clinicians and surgeons. In this article, the authors report a series of 50 consecutive cases of PMiT collected and treated at the University Hospital of Turin, Italy. From the authors' experience, this terminology, which demarks a subset of PTMC, should be widely adopted as it is biologically sound, well accepted by both clinicians and patients, decreases the danger of overtreatment, minimizes the psychological anxiety engendered by a diagnosis of carcinoma, and maintains the patient's eligibility for health insurance
Value chain insights and opportunities to foster re-manufacturing: adopting a Sustainable Product-Service System approach within tertiary architectures
No full textIn a circular perspective, the imperative is to establish a certain level of decoupling between the economic output and the environmental impact that is attached to the production and consumption of the good or service. A circular vision necessarily questions the dynamics ruling the current production and consumption systems, considered in the mainstream economic model as linear flows of inputs and outputs and by nature not compatible with a circular-oriented approach. In this perspective, are described the opportunities of Sustainable Product Service System (S.PSS) for what concern the re-manufacturing value chain of tertiary architecture industries. Indeed, S.PSS has been studied since the end of XXI century as promising organizational and offer models coupling environmental and economic benefits
Metastasis of malignant peritoneal epithelioid mesothelioma in endoscopic gastric biopsy: a diagnostic pitfall.
No full textAim: To describe a case of metastasis of malignant peritoneal epithelioid mesothelioma in gastric antral mucosa in a patient with a cryptogenic liver cirrhosis associated with esophageal varices, abdominal pain and distension, ascites, and weight loss. Materials and method: The patient underwent esophageal gastric endoscopy for varices, and a biopsy of a polypoid antral lesion was performed. The latter revealed a proliferation of polygonal cells with moderately atypical nuclei and pale eosinophilic, peripherally condensed cytoplasm infiltrating into the lamina propria between the normal mucosal glands of the antrum. The tumor cells were diffusely positive to anticalretinin antibody, whereas anti-claudin 4 and anti-CEA antisera were negative. Conclusions: Metastases of malignant peritoneal mesotheliomas are unusual, and a predominantly gastrointestinal localization is rare. Pathologists should be aware of this possibility to avoid misdiagnosis, particularly in small biopsy specimens
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
