La condizione lavorativa delle donne nella provincia di Macerata
No full textIl volume presenta i risultati di un progetto realizzato dalla Provincia di Macerata in collaborazione con il Dipartimento di Studi sullo Sviluppo Economico dell’Università di Macerata. Obiettivo del progetto è lo studio della condizione lavorativa delle donne nella Provincia di Macerata partendo dall’ipotesi che tale condizione non possa essere circoscritta alla dimensione strettamente economica ma richieda necessariamente un’analisi delle opportunità di accesso al mercato del lavoro e degli aspetti che incidono sulla qualità del lavoro svolto.
Il progetto ha visto una prima fase di analisi del quadro legislativo attuale in tema di lavoro femminile, successivamente, è stata realizzata un’indagine campionaria sulle donne in età lavorativa residenti nella Provincia di Macerata.
Il volume è strutturato in quattro capitoli. Il primo si propone di ricostruire il percorso legislativo in tema di lavoro femminile. Nel secondo capitolo viene descritta la metodologia di indagine (piano di campionamento e questionario), mentre nel terzo vengono presentati i principali risultati dell’indagine partendo da un profilo complessivo delle donne residenti della Provincia di Macerata per poi evidenziare le differenze tra le donne che lavorano, coloro che hanno scelto di non lavorare e le donne in cerca di occupazione. Il capitolo si conclude con un approfondimento sui risultati relativi al Comune di Macerata. Dopo le considerazioni conclusive, sono riportati alcuni commenti ai risultati dell’indagine da parte di vari esponenti della Pubblica Amministrazione, del mondo delle imprese e della scuola che da anni si occupano del tema del lavoro e delle pari opportunità. Nel volume sono riportate immagini di donne al lavoro tratte dall’archivio fotografico della Provincia di Macerata e realizzate da Leonardo Rinaldesi. Il volume si conclude con il Codice delle pari opportunità tra uomo e donna che riassume il percorso legislativo sul tema e l’ intervista elaborata per la realizzazione dello studio
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
Validation of a bioanalytical method for the determination of synthetic and natural cannabinoids (New psychoactive substances) in oral fluid samples by means of hplc-ms/ms
Full text linkNew psychoactive substances (NPS) represent an important focus nowadays and are continually produced with minimal structural modifications in order to circumvent the law and increase the difficulty of identifying them. Moreover, since there are a high number of different compounds, it is arduous to develop analytical screening and/or confirmation methods that allow the identification and quantification of these compounds. The aim of this work is to develop and validate a bioanalytical method for detecting new synthetic drugs in biological samples, specifically oral fluid, using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) with minimal sample pretreatment. Oral fluid samples were simply centrifuged and denaturized with different rapid procedures before injection into the LC-MS/MS system. Calibration curves covered a linear concentration range from LOQ to 100 ng/mL. Validation parameters such as linearity, precision, accuracy, selectivity, matrix effect and thermal stability were evaluated and showed satisfactory results, in accordance with US Food & Drug Administration guidelines. The inter-day analytical bias and imprecision at two levels of quality control (QC) were within ±15% for most compounds. This method was able to identify and calculate the concentration of 10 NPS validated in this biological sample, even in the presence of matrix effect
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
