Ten Years of Partnership Between the European Pediatric Association, Union of National European Pediatric Societies, and Associations and The Journal of Pediatrics
No full textThe European Pediatric Association, Union of National European Pediatric Societies and Associations (EPA-UNEPSA) celebrates 10 years of collaboration with The Journal of Pediatrics. The society is proud to have established and successfully maintained a long and productive collaboration with this important journal, published monthly by Elsevier. For the past decade, EPA-UNEPSA has adhered to The Journal's mission to promote “pediatric research of the highest value for a diverse audience of pediatric healthcare professionals, and advance further scientific discovery to improve the quality of care and the health of infants, children, and adolescents.”1 The EPA-UNEPSA section, published periodically in The Journal, hosts invited commentary and insightful editorials from experts, discussing advancements in clinical and academic pediatric medicine related to every aspect of children's health, with the goal of promoting the latest developments in pediatric medicine, children's health, policy, and advocacy.
Over the years, the editorial board of EPA-UNEPSA, initially under the responsibility of the Chief Editor Jochen Erich of the University of Hanover, Germany, and since 2019 under Massimo Pettoello-Mantovani of the University of Foggia, Italy, has worked closely with The Journal's Editors-in-Chief William Balistreri and Paul Graham Fisher to fulfill the common goal of advancing pediatric research and serving as a practical guide for pediatricians who manage health and diagnose and treat the disorders of infants, children, and adolescents. The purpose of this editorial is to celebrate the long and successful collaboration between EPA-UNEPSA and The Journal of Pediatrics

Counterfeiting in Italian Regions: An Empirical Analysis based on new data
No full textThe aim of this paper is to analyse the counterfeiting process in the Italian regions during 2006-2010 years, applying panel data methodologies to monthly not public data provided by GdF. After having derived the Forte and Mantovani Counter-feiting Index (FMIC) – which is equal to the ratio between total confiscations and operations –, empirical findings show that homogeneous clusters of regions could be obtained, due to economic and geographical reasons. Moreover, panel data es-timators test a new simple model on the determinants of counterfeiting diffusion. It was found that household and PA expenditure, indirect taxation, foreign-ers/population ratio and the number of ports have a positive impact on our coun-terfeiting diffusion index (FMIDC)
Climate changes, economic downturn and children’s health
No full textCompared to adults, children are less able to survive extreme weather events. Therefore, the climate crisis is creating a real crisis of children's rights. Environmental hazards, shock and stress are already having devastating effects on the well-being of the youngest children, who face a crisis of water, health, education, protection and participation in social life and the economic benefits that should flow from it. The realization that fundamental changes are needed to address both growing inequality and climate chaos will have to be a globally shared concept, to avoid failing our children, whose voices and interests are often not heard or not taken seriously enough in the adults’ world. This brief commentary briefly discusses the impact of climate changes and related economic downturn on children's health
Urging for the protection of children suffering from the escalating violence of terrorism
No full textThe impact of violence on children when it replaces reason is profound and far-reaching, affecting their physical, emotional, and social well-being, with serious consequences that will most likely emerge in their adulthood. Children are highly impressionable and vulnerable, and their direct or indirect exposure to violence, have devastating effects, planting the seed of hatred in them, making it difficult to shake off. The current events in Israel, where civil populations and particularly children suffered an inhuman, vicious terrorist attack, raised public attention on the important issue of weak governance and lack of effective institutions that characterize several areas around the Globe. The vulnerabilities within the socio-political framework frequently give rise to power vacuums, paving the way for violence and enabling extremist groups to exploit the situation. The Middle East has often been a battleground for proxy wars, with various regional and global powers supporting different factions. Foreign interventions, whether for geopolitical interests or ideological reasons, have exacerbated existing conflicts and created new ones
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
Klimatske promjene koje utječu na zdravlje djece u svijetu i Europi
Full text linkThe natural, economic and public health crises that have periodically struck the world over the past two decades have often revealed a low degree of self-sufficiency and a high degree of unpreparedness on the part of European and non-European countries. It is generally the most vulnerable who suffer the consequences, and adverse events have shown their effects and direct negative impact mainly on the population aged 0–18 years, with major implications for families and communities. Climate change and environmental pollution are certainly prominent among the natural disasters impacting children’s health. This brief commentary is aimed at raising the attention of general pediatricians on the serious insult caused by climate change to children’s health, emphasizing that climate change will affect the health of children born today throughout their live
