    Fucine, armi e armaioli in Lombardia tra il XV e il XVIII secolo: il trentennale del Museo delle Armi “Luigi Marzoli”

    Uno studio interamente dedicato alle armi antiche bresciane e lombarde per celebrare la splendida collezione di Luigi Marzoli Era il 1988 quando Luigi Marzoli donava alla città di Brescia la splendida collezione che permise l’apertura, nella suggestiva sede del Mastio Visconteo, del Museo delle Armi. Oltre trent’anni dopo, questo volume – che prende avvio dai lavori del convegno di studi Il Museo Marzoli e le armi lombarde (Brescia, Auditorium Santa Giulia, 15-17 novembre 2018) – è dedicato al Museo e alla sua straordinaria collezione di armi e armature dal Trecento al Rinascimento. Interamente dedicato alle armi antiche, Heavy Metal si propone di indagare alcuni fondamentali argomenti della produzione armiera lombarda, in particolar modo bresciana, dal XV al XIX secolo, sotto diversi punti di vista e soprattutto in relazione alla collezione proprio del Museo delle Armi “Luigi Marzoli”. Il trentennale del Museo delle Armi ha rappresentato un’occasione straordinaria offrendo l’opportunità di dare spazio alle nuove correnti di studio che negli ultimi anni hanno rinnovato la tradizione oplologica. Introdotto dal testo di Marco Merlo e Simone Picchianti (Fucine, armi e armaioli in Lombardia tra il XV e il XVIII secolo: il trentennale del Museo delle Armi “Luigi Marzoli”), il volume è suddiviso in tre macrosezioni (Nuove tecnologie e storia delle tecniche; La collezione del Museo Marzoli; La fortuna delle armi lombarde) ed è corredato dei saggi di alcuni dei massimi esperti sull’argomento. Marco Merlo, studioso di armi antiche, è conservatore del Museo delle Armi di Brescia

    Chapter 12: Prognostic Stratification and Importance of Follow-Up

    In the last decades, long-term survival of patients affected by dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) has been markedly improved. The main milestones, such as the early diagnosis and the systematic follow-up, the proper etiological characterization at the onset of the disease, and a multidisciplinary approach to the patients together with the optimal medical and device treatment and the rigorous tailored follow-up, accompanied these prognostic improvements. However, DCM still remains the most common cause of heart transplantation and one of the leading causes of cardiac death in the western world. Therefore, proper prognostic stratification and systematic follow-up are the cornerstones to optimize medical management and improve outcomes of patients with DCM

    Historical Terminology, Classifications, and Present Definition of DCM.

    No full text
    Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is defined by the presence of left ventricular (LV) dilation and systolic dysfunction in the absence of abnormal loading conditions or coronary artery disease sufficient to cause the LV systolic impairment. In the last years, advances in pathophysiology, pathology, biomarkers, genetics and molecular medicine, echocardiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance have allowed an evolution from an etiological to a morphological and then to a morphofunctional classification of the disease. Familial forms account for the 40% of cases, and thanks to the recent discoveries in the genetic field, clinicians have the opportunity but also the responsibility to provide an etiological diagnosis, stratify the risk, and treat patients with the best strategy available. Nowadays the etiologic characterization has dramatically improved so that it is possible to understand the etiologic basis of many so-called idiopathic heart muscle disease. A step toward a comprehensive DCM classification and an attempt to reconcile clinic with genetic in the complexity of the disease is genotype-phenotype correlation, with its prognostic implication in clinical practice. In this chapter will be discussed the historical evolution of DCM classification, and an overview of the main issues discussed in the next sections will be given

    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

    Variations on the Author

    “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 link
    We 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
