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
L’école d’Isocrate: un bilan
No full textThe ancient tradition assigned an important place to the school of Isocrates within the Athenian culture of the 4th century BC, a role which was probably more important than modern scholarship has thus far recognized. However, a comprehensive investigation, designed to cast light on both the practical and ideal aspects of this institution, is still lacking. Thus, in the light of present knowledge, a general reassessment of the subject may be attempted, with special attention being paid to the location of the school, its nature and purposes, its organization, its teaching and research practices, to the texts that were produced in the school and to its role in the cultural and political life of Athens in the 4th century. In particular, as far as the last issue is concerned, an inclusive survey of the personalities that were connected to the school of Isocrates by the ancient tradition might prove useful.La tradizione antica attribuiva un ruolo centrale alla scuola di Isocrate nella cultura ateniese del IV secolo a.C. Tuttavia, una ricostruzione sistematica di questa istituzione nei suoi diversi aspetti manca ancora.Il saggio contiene un bilancio critico di quanto fino a questo momento noto e alcune precisazioni in merito ad alcune questioni (ubicazione, organizzazione, contenuti dell'insegnamento, pratiche di lavoro intellettuale)
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
Intervista semistrutturata per la valutazione dell'efficacia delle terapie espressive
No full textObjective: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is an important neuropsychological developmental disorder characterized by the presence of impaired attention, impulsivity and hyperactivity. In most cases, ADHD extends through adolescence and persists during adult age; hence, its treatment is often carried-out for long time periods. One of the drugs used to treat such disorder is atomoxetine, a selective noradrenaline re-uptake inhibitor. Acute atomoxetine efficacy has been extensively evaluated through numerous placebo-controlled trials. This study aims at testing the efficacy and safety of long-term atomoxetine use. Methods: In this international multicentre trial, 6-15 years-old children and adolescents with a DSM-IV diagnosis of ADHD were involved. All subjects were treated in an open-label basis for about 12 weeks with flexible-dosage atomoxetine. Patients who obtained symptom remission were randomly assigned to further 9 months of double-blind treatment with atomoxetine or placebo (Fig. 1). During the open-label phase, 604 patients were enrolled. Of these patients, 416 were considered responders and proceeded to the extension phase of double-blind atomoxetine vs. placebo, to assess the ability of the drug to prevent relapses. Results: Atomoxetine confirmed its efficacy in acutely improving ADHD symptoms, as shown by the statistically significant (p < 0.001) reduction of ADHD-RS-IV scores (Fig. 2). Of the initial 604 patients, 416 (69%) were considered responders. Atomoxetine was superior to placebo in long term in preventing relapses, which occurred significantly less in the group of patients receiving atomoxetine with respect to the group receiving placebo (Figg. 3, 4). The effect of atomoxetine was superior to that of placebo also in some secondary outcomes, such as psychosocial functioning. The drug's safety and tolerability were similar to those observed during acute, short-term studies (Tab. III). Conclusions: The results of this study provide evidence of the efficacy of atomoxetine in maintenance treatment of paediatric patients affected by ADHD. The effect on psychosocial functioning as well as that obtained on core symptoms of ADHD seems to extend also in the long-term treatment period
