New data from the Fornaci necropolis in Capua. Continuity and innovation in tombs of the Orientalizing period
No full textThe paper aims to shed further light on the Orientalising period in Capua through the analysis of two relevant unpublished funerary contexts (947 and 975 Tombs) stored in the Archaeological Museum of Santa Maria Capua Vetere. These contexts have been recorded and analysed as part of the review of the materials from the excavations of the Fornaci necropolis carried out by W. Johannowsky between the 1950s and 1970s. The contribution analyses the stratigraphic context and the grave goods of the two tombs, allowing us to reconstruct and update the interpretation of the Sector Q of the necropolis as a whole. It offers both an overview of the traditional and innovative aspects of the elements of Orientalising material culture documented in Capua and those of continuity and discontinuity in the Fornaci funerary complex. Furthermore, the article offers the preliminary archaeometric results of the Tomb 947 bucchero vessels
La gestione del paziente cardiopatico durante il Covid-19
No full textQuesto capitolo, relativo alla gestione delle malattie cardiovascolari durante
il periodo del Covid-19, desidera offrire una prima panoramica su alcuni
temi rilevanti in vista di futuri opportuni approfondimenti empirici. La
premessa da cui partire, e che esemplifica la congruità di questo tema con il
presente progetto editoriale, è la seguente: «mentre il sistema sanitario, l’opinione
pubblica, i media e i pazienti erano concentrati sul Covid-19, si osservava
in tutta Italia una preoccupante diminuzione nelle ammissioni ospedaliere
di soggetti con infarti acuto al miocardio e un parallelo aumento dei
tassi di fatalità e complicanze» (De Rosa et al., 2020, p. 5, traduzione mia).
Nel complesso sono state identificate tre macro-aree di interesse, tra loro
interconnesse: area organizzativa, sintetizzabile come capacità di risposta
nell’immediato e nel lungo termine da parte delle istituzioni sanitarie; area
tecnologica, riferita allo sviluppo e utilizzo della telecardiologia; area delle
disuguaglianze sociali, inerente all’aumento o diminuzione delle sperequazioni
sociali sia in merito alle patologie cardiovascolari che ai fattori di rischio
ad esse connesse. Tali aree ineriscono alla necessità di gestire le patologie
cardiovascolari nella contingenza delle varie politiche di contenimento
della diffusione dell’epidemia, tra cui quelle di lockdown-confinamento; si
tratta, inoltre, di aspetti che, sebbene già presenti nel panorama, sono stati
ulteriormente esacerbati dalla comparsa del Covid-19.
Il capitolo si svilupperà in questo modo: in primo luogo, viene descritto
il mondo delle malattie cardiovascolari e della sua incidenza a livello mondiale
e italiano; quindi, si affronta la connessione tra malattie cardiovascolari
e Covid-19, analizzando come questo abbia interagito con il “cuore”; dunque,
si affrontano le singole aree, organizzativa, tecnologica, sperequativa; infine, si conclude valutando anche l’attuale stato di presenza di best practices
in campo di gestione cardiologica

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
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
