Autonomia costituzionale delle Camere e potere di auto-normazione
No full textL'A. ricostruisce i tentativi di formalizzazione del diritto parlamentare, e i fallimenti che essi hanno registrato, con particolare riguardo alle responsabilità del giudice costituzionale. Il saggio critica la crescente informalità della prassi parlamentare, mettendo in luce come la reazione della Corte al riguardo sia spesso impedita dalla preoccupazione di difendere le Assemblee dal populismo montante.The Author criticises the practices adopted by Italian Chambers in the wake of the majoritarian turn. Besides, she higlights that the Court’s activism in this regard has been increasingly abandoned to protect the Assemblies from rising populism
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Regolamenti e compromesso parlamentare
Get PDFIl saggio esamina la perdita di auto-consapevolezza subita dalle Assemblee parlamentari a seguito della svolta maggioritaria, che ha prodotto molteplici violazioni del dettato costituzionale, laddove questo imputa alle Camere e ai loro membri la responsabilità di funzioni fondamentali. In particolare viene analizzata la scelta di rinunziare a migliorare se non a bloccare l'ultima riforma costituzionale, delegando al referendum popolare la decisione finale.In the opinion of the Author, the crisis affecting the Italian Parliament is partly due to its own responsibility. During the last twenty years,
the Assemblies have been admitting or even seeking a substitution by
the Government, by the Head of State, and by the people via referenda.
In order to restore the culture of parliamentary discussion and compromise, a new regulation should be adopted, and its enforcement by
the Constitutional Court accepted. Drawing on the latest case-law, parliamentary minorities should be admitted to bring an action directly before the Court
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Il diritto al pluralismo dell'informazione in Europa e in Italia

Le diverse problematiche connesse sono state affrontate ed esaminate nel quadro del sistema della Convenzione europea dei diritti dell'uomo, dell'Unione europea e del diritto costituzionale italiano
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
