The complexity of birth: the cesarean section.
Being born is the most “natural” event (biologically defined) and, at the same time, the most com x event. The progressive medicalization of birth has led to a decreased interest in the lived experience which accompany it. Focusing on the delivery and the way it is conducted from a medical perspective, in a positivist vision, means reduce the existential relevance of childbirth (becoming a parent and caring relationship) to a purely biological reality, to the body-as-organism rather then to the body-as-perso

Efficienza alimentare nella Jersey - studio preliminare
L’allevamento moderno della vacca da latte dovrà affrontare nuove sfide derivanti dalle rinnovate esigenze del consumatore finale e dalla legislatura nazionale ed internazionale in materia di sanità animale e di impatto ambientale. In particolare, gli impegni presi dalla quasi totalità dei Paesi del mondo interessano la diminuzione delle emissioni di gas ad effetto serra con l’obiettivo di ridurre la “carbon footprint” (letteralmente, impronta del carbonio) delle attività antropiche
Ematocrito, emoglobina, numero di globuli rossi e bianchi in rapporto al rischio di insorgenza delle vasculopatie cerebrali acute di tipo ischemico
Heat, temperature and energy: a formative experiment-based module including the use of infrared cameras
The historical development of the concept of energy can be brought back to the early studies of heat, suggesting that a unified treatment of heat, temperature and energy can be a possible route for teaching these complex subjects altogether. Here we present an experiment-based module centered on heat and temperature and on their relation with energy which was proposed to a class of prospective primary school teachers. The intervention redesigns a previously developed approach to include the concept of energy and use of infrared cameras. Learning outcomes are investigated through pre- / post-assessment questions, worksheets and final interviews
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
