    This essay focuses on the migrant’s labour in particular in the Italian agriculture field’s. The essay began with a brief comparative analysis between the theory of assimilation and the structuralist. Then analyzes the relationship among migrants and the Italian labor market from some statistical data related to their presence in the European and national levels and their occupational distribution. Moreover it analyzes the segmentation of the Italian labor market and its niches occupations characterized by activities generally poorly paid, dangerous and unattractive to local workers. For this reason, these are often occupied by migrants workers who are serving, particularly exploitative working conditions and social segregation, in addition to lower wages than Italian workers. This is particularly evident in agriculture, but also strategic sector with a high rate of illegal labor and exploitation, particularly for migrants, who are segregated in laborers in the long term without informing social growth, equal pay and improvement of their condition, contradicts one of the fundamental assumptions of assimilation. As a case study we will analyze the case of resident Punjabi community in the province of Latina, occupied mainly as agricultural laborers, forced to live in conditions of particular labor exploitation and social segregation on the basis of a criminal system Punjabi-Pontine including international trafficking and exploitation

    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
