La magie de l'enfant dans la thérapie familiale
No full textL’idée centrale de ce livre réside dans le fait qu’un trouble de l’enfance est un problème familial et qu’un enfant ne peut être observé comme une île, détaché de ses liens affectifs fondamentaux. Il ne s’agit pas de rechercher des causes ou des responsa- bilités au sein de la famille ; au contraire, la famille, dans sa dimension multi-géomé- trique, sera une ressource diagnostique et curative précieuse. Pour cela, il est nécessaire de modifier l’orientation thérapeutique : au lieu de se concentrer exclusivement sur les symptômes et les troubles de l’enfance, on peut explorer le développement de la famille et se concentrer en particulier sur les événements de vie défavorables qui ont marqué son histoire au fil des générations et laissé des blessures douloureuses. De ce fait, il n’y a pas tant besoin de spécialistes des problèmes de l’enfant qui classent les symptômes de l’enfant dans des catégories diagnostiques et recourent à une médica- tion appropriée, que de thérapeutes familiaux qui savent observer et considérer les troubles de l’enfant comme des signaux relationnels et comme des compétences parti- culières pour entrer dans le monde émotionnel de l’enfant. Ainsi, l’enfant passe du statut de problème à celui de ressource active au service de la famille et de la thérapie
Water level forecasting through fuzzy logic and artificial neural network approaches
No full textIn this study three data-driven water level forecasting models are presented and discussed. One is based on the artificial neural networks approach, while the other two are based on the Mamdani and the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy logic approaches, respectively.
All of them are parameterised with reference to flood events alone, where water levels are higher than a selected threshold. The analysis of the three models is performed by using the same input and output variables. However, in order to evaluate their capability to deal with different levels of information, two different input sets are considered. The former is characterized by significant spatial and time aggregated rainfall information, while the latter considers rainfall information more distributed in space and time.
The analysis is made with great attention to the reliability and accuracy of each model, with reference to the Reno river at Casalecchio di Reno (Bologna, Italy). It is shown that the two models based on the fuzzy logic approaches perform better when the physical phenomena considered are synthesised by both a limited number of variables and IF-THEN logic statements, while the ANN approach increases its performance when more detailed information is used. As regards the reliability aspect, it is shown that the models based on the fuzzy logic approaches may fail unexpectedly to forecast the water levels, in the sense that in the testing phase, some input combinations are not recognised by the rule system and thus no forecasting is performed. This problem does not occur in the ANN approach

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
