    Bounded quantifiers have interval models

    We propose a sound model for an extension of the language Fun, proposed by L. Cardelli and P. Wegner as a formalization of the notion of inheritance in the context of higher order polymorphic functional languages. The model Is obtained by modifying the Interval Model proposed by R. Cartwright, In order to accomodate bounded quantifiers and to obtain a sound structure. Our extension of the language supports also a general recursion operator for functions (but not for types)

    Premature Infants

    Preterm birth is a leading cause of neonatal and childhood mortality worldwide. Advances in medical technologies and therapeutic perinatal and neonatal care have substantially improved the rates of survival among preterm infants, even at the lowest gestational ages. However, the functional and structural immaturity of preterm infants’ organs and systems is responsible for the development of multiple short- and long-term complications, which significantly contribute to the healthcare and socioeconomic burden of preterm birth. Among these complications, the most common include respiratory distress, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, persistent patency of the ductus arteriosus, necrotizing enterocolitis, brain injury, poor nutrition and growth, and sensorineural deficits. In turn, these conditions variously contribute to the development of adverse neurocognitive outcomes, with relevant long-term implications. This chapter aims to review the main risk factors associated with preterm birth, the clinical features of preterm infants, and the most frequent complications encountered in this frail population, highlighting the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and a long-term neurodevelopmental follow-u

    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
