La colonizzazione del rischio. Note sulla pratica della valutazione e gestione del rischio di violenza in psichiatria [Risk colonisation. Comments on assessment and risk management of violence in psychiatry]
No full textThe last decades have seen a growing interest in the topic on violence risk assessment and management for mentally disordered offenders. More and more often, professionals are requested to assess and manage this risk, in a process which could be defined as “risk colonisation”. In this context, a number of structured risk assessment tools have appeared, which claim to allow to take complex decision, such as those concerning the application of coercive measures, in a reliable and precise manner. We express our doubts on this practice, not limited to ethical issues, highlighting the technical shortcomings of these tools, in particular their insufficient positive predictive value, and some limits of the model of mental health and of patient-professional relationship their adoption often corresponds to. We hope professionals adopt instead a therapeutic risk taking stance, involving the coproduction of shared goals users and professionals contribute to in the context of a supporting team-user relationship. This means to share human, professional, and advocacy skills, involving other appropriate agencies and stakeholders, so that these goals are attained in a context which is sufficiently safe and responsive to needs
Situazione, qualità della vita e trattamento di persone dimesse dall'Ospedale Psichiatrico Giudiziario di Reggio Emilia: Follow up a due anni
No full textIl processo di superamento degli Ospedali Psichiatrici Giudiziari (OPG) Italiani ha comportato la dimissione della maggioranza
delle persone recluse. Scopo dello studio è effettuare un follow-up dei pazienti dimessi da un reparto dell’OPG di
Reggio Emilia. Attraverso la somministrazione di questionari rivolti a pazienti e operatori sono stati valutati: funzionamento
del percorso di dimissione, recidive di violenza, condizioni psicopatologiche, terapia e qualità della vita dei pazienti. I risultati
relativi a 23 pazienti mostrano che la dimissione verso strutture a minore intensità assistenziale è possibile e apprezzata. Non
si sono rilevate correlazioni significative tra gli esiti e le misure di valutazione del rischio pre-dimissione. Fenomeni che necessitano
di monitoraggio sono alcuni casi di suicidio nella coorte iniziale di 63 pazienti e il ricorso a terapie farmacologiche

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
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
