La comprensione dei diritti dei minori nel corso dello sviluppo. Bambini e adolescenti tra desiderio di cura e autodeterminazione
No full textLa ricerca esamina lo sviluppo della comprensione di diritti di cura e di auto determinazione da parte di bambini e adolescenti.
111 soggetti, di entrambi i sessi, di 3 fasce d’età (9-10 anni, 12-13 anni, 15-16 anni) sono stati interrogati in relazione a otto brevi storie in cui il protagonista desiderava esercitare un diritto di cura o di autodeterminazione in conflitto con l’autorità adulta.
Ai partecipanti era chiesto di valutare la legittimità del desiderio del protagonista, motivare la risposta e indicare l’età appropriata per esercitare quel diritto.
I risultati dimostrano che l’età ha effetti significativi sia sul riconoscimento dei diritti, che sulle motivazioni e sull’appropriatezza dell’età, ma in maniera differenziata sia per i due tipi di diritto che per le diverse storie, in relazione al loro contenuto ed alla pregnanza per i soggetti stessi.
DEVELOPMENTAL UNDERSTANDING OF CHILDREN’S RIGHTS: CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS BETWEEN NURTURANCE’S WISH AND SELF-DETERMINATION
This study examined the development of children’s and adolescents’ understanding of nurturance and self-determination rights. One hundred and eleven participants from 3 age groups (9-10, 12-13, 15-16 years of age) were questioned trough eight short stories, in which a story character wished to exercise a self-determination right or nurturance right that conflict with the wishes of those in authority. Participants were asked to decide if they would support the story character’s request for right and to justify their decisions. They were asked to define the appropriate age to exercise the different rights’ types, too. The results show there exist significant differences depending upon age in relation to support of rights, reasoning and age appropriateness of rights, in a different modality for the two types of rights and in relation to stories content and their importance for subjects

"La luna si è baciata con le stelle e così è nato il sole". Uno studio sul pensiero magico infantile
No full textQuesto studio si propone di valutare cosa resti oggi del “pensiero magico” teorizzato da Piaget (1932) attraverso la sua metodologia di ricerca, in specifico in relazione all’origine e alla coscienza degli astri e di verificarne un’eventuale coesistenza col pensiero logico. A 80 soggetti, di entrambi i generi, 40 frequentanti la scuola materna (età media: 5.4) e 40 la terza elementare (età media: 8.6), sono state presentate nel corso di un’intervista individuale alcune domande relative alla rappresentazione degli astri (sole, luna e stelle) ed alla loro eventuale consapevolezza, con la richiesta di motivare la risposta. Seguiva la somministrazione di alcune prove piagetiane riguardanti nozioni di conservazione
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
An introduction to the metabolic determinants of anthracycline cardiotoxicity
No full textAntitumor therapy with doxorubicin and other anthracyclines is limited by the possible development of cardiomyopathy upon chronic administration. Several lines of evidence suggest that a close link exists between cardiotoxicity and the amount of anthracycline that accumulates in the heart and then undergoes one- or two- electron reduction to toxic metabolites or by-products. Alternative metabolic pathways lead to an oxidative degradation of anthracyclines, possibly counteracting anthracycline accumulation and reductive bioactivation; unfortunately, however, the actual role of anthracycline oxidation is only partially characterized. Here, we briefly review the biochemical foundations of reductive versus oxidative anthracycline metabolism. We show that multiple links exist between one pathway of toxic biactivation and another, limiting the search and clinical development of "better anthracyclines" that retain antitumor activity but induce less cardiotoxicity than the available analogues
