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
La piccola chirurgia dermatologica nei bambini: analgesia cutanea con una crema a base di lidocaina e prilocaina
No full textThe problems arising daily in the management of many skin diseases as the removal of warts, molluscum contagiosum, etc. are often complicated simply by the fear of the pain of some treatment modalities (i.e., cryosurgery, curettage, etc.). A choice between no analgesia and analgesia by the classic percutaneous infiltration with local anaesthetics is sometimes difficult. A new lidocaine/prilocaine cream provides us an effective local anaesthesia for such treatments
The moderating role of supply network structure on the customer integration-efficiency relationship
No full textPurpose: To study whether a fast supply network structure interacts with Customer Integration (CI) by positively moderating the relationship between CI and efficiency performance.
Design/methodology/approach: Two hypotheses are developed, incorporating dimensions of Customer Integration, Fast Supply Network Structure and Efficiency performance. The hypotheses are tested through a hierarchical regression analysis using data from a sample of 200 manufacturing plants.
Findings: CI alone is not enough to guarantee cost reductions because a fast supply network structure acts as a moderator of the CI-efficiency relationship. The role of this moderator is twofold. On the one hand, it interacts with CI, strengthening the positive impact of CI on efficiency through a positive complementary effect. On the other hand, if the supply network structure is not intended to support fast lead times, the impact of CI on efficiency can be hindered and, in extreme cases, CI can even make efficiency worse.
Practical implications: Efficiency maximization requires levering simultaneously on CI and the supply network structure, rather than investing and acting on CI only. Managers should carefully weigh up the supply network structural context before embracing a CI program, because adopting CI in a wrong context could amplify a series of problems (e.g. nervousness of plans) and offset CI benefits in terms of efficiency.
Originality/value: This study provides an original contribution to the literature on the relationship between CI and efficiency by adopting a contingency perspective, namely assuming that the relationship between supply chain practices and performance is contingent upon how supply networks have been designed. Accordingly, this research questions the assumption that CI always improves efficiency, by analysing the complementary effect between CI and a fast supply network structure. This provides a number of original implications for the interpretation of the relationship between CI, supply network structure and efficiency
Improving the path to align sales, production planning and engineering in high-variety versatile environment
No full textVersatile manufacturing companies typically manufacture high variety, mainly
customized products in relatively low volumes, competing for each order with
other supplier companies on the basis of price, technical expertise, delivery time
and punctuality. In this environment, the combination of high variety and
frequent product changes/modifications entangles planning, designing, purchasing
and manufacturing activities, thus exacerbating the conciliation of the contrasting
goals of Sales, Production Planning and Engineering. This paper aims to
explain how planning bills—traditionally adopted to coordinate Sales and
Production Planning—can be used to improve alignment among these functional
areas in a versatile manufacturing context. In particular, a path is proposed to
align not only Sales and Production Planning requests, but also those of the
Engineering function. Interestingly enough, such an approach is particularly
suited to cope with the frequent product changes characterizing a high-variety
versatile environment, and makes it possible to achieve greater advantages than
those conventionally attributed to the planning bills
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

Approvvigionamenti, gestione dei fornitori e supply chain management
No full textQuali sono le peculiarità degli approvvigionamenti e della gestione dei fornitori nell’ambito del supply chain management? In questo articolo il dibattito accademico e manageriale intorno al tema viene ricondotto ad una chiave di lettura che utilizza gli obiettivi sottesi a tali concetti manageriali, la porzione supply network (scope) e i processi coinvolti per rispondere al quesito di partenz
