Canto XXIX
No full textIl saggio analizza il canto I 29 dell'Inamoramento de Orlando, concentrandosi in particolare sulla struttura narrativa e sul sistema dei personaggi che vede dominare la perfida Origille. Le memorie classiche e romanze sono indagate allo scopo di mostrare il profondo scarto boiardesco e l'intento patentemente parodico del canto che chiude il primo libro del poema
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
Ultrasonografia del muscolo massetere. Confronto tra pazienti con disordini temporomandibolari e sindrome fibromialgica
No full textIs clinical assessment valid for the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disk displacement?
No full textAIM: The aim of this work was to evaluate the predictive value of clinical examination for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disk position abnormalities. METHODS: Participants in this study were 51 consecutive patients with signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). All 102 temporomandibular joints (TMJ) were evaluated to detect disk position abnormalities by means of a standardized clinical assessement according to Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) and MRI performed by a blinded radiologist at the Section of Prosthetic Dentistry, University of Pisa, Italy. The accuracy of clinical assessment was evaluated with respect to MRI. RESULTS: Clinical assessment showed a good predictive value (PV) for the diagnosis of normal disk position (86.2%) and an acceptable PV for the diagnosis of disk displacement with reduction (70.3%), while it seems less accurate in predicting MRI diagnosis of disk displacement without reduction. The overall agreement between clinical RDC/TMD examination and MRI for the evaluation of disk position was 77.3%. CONCLUSION: Clinical RDC/TMD examination proved to be accurate in detecting normal disk position and disk displacement with reduction but not reliable in predicting MRI diagnosis of disk displacement without reduction in the temporomandibular joint
Comparison between clinical examination and MRI findings of temporomandibular joint effusion.
No full textMagnetic resonance of the temporomandibular joint: experience at an Italian university center.
No full textAIM:
The aim of this investigation was to suggest criteria in order to evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Such criteria have been discussed on the basis of our experience at the Section of Prosthetic Dentistry, Department of Neurosciences, University of Pisa.
METHODS:
The study sample was constituted by 135 patients. All subjects underwent bilateral MRI of the TMJs to evaluate disc structure and position, bony structure abnormalities, joint effusion localization and entity.
RESULTS:
MRI allowed depiction of the articular disc in 98.9% of the TMJs, showing a normal disc structure in 91.1% of the cases and abnormal in 7.7%. The disc-condyle relationship was normal in 46.6% TMJs, while a disc displacement with reduction was revealed in 35.5% cases, a disc displacement without reduction in 16.7% and a posterior disc displacement in 1.5% joints. In the coronal images, the disc was positioned lateral to the condyle in 8.9% of the TMJs and medial in 6.7%. Osseous abnormalities have been found in 177 joints (65.5%), with cases of bony flattening (condyle and/or tuberculum), erosions, subchondral cysts, osteophytosis and sclerosis. T2 sequences showed effusion in 26.7% of the TMJs.
CONCLUSIONS:
These findings suggest that standardized methodology application and well-defined criteria can facilitate MR imaging observations and interpretation as well as the diagnosis of intra-articular pathologies

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
