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
Exploiting Julia for Parallel RBF-Based 3D Surface Reconstruction: A First Experience
The 3D surface reconstruction is critical for various applications, demanding efficient computational approaches. Traditional Radial Basis Functions (RBFs) methods are limited by increasing data points, leading to slower execution times. Ad-dressing this, our study introduces an experimental parallelization effort using Julia, as well-known for high-performance scientific computing. We developed an initial sequential RBF algorithm in Julia, then expanded it to a parallel model, exploiting Multi-Threading to enhance execution speed while maintaining accuracy. This initial exploration into Julia's parallel computing capabilities shows marked performance gains in 3D surface reconstruction, offering promising directions for future research. Our findings affirm Julia's potential in computationally intensive tasks, with test results confirming the expected time efficiency improvements
Un caso di ittero cronico anemolitico (studio clinico laboratoristico e valutazione medico-legale)
Gli AA. svolgono alcune considerazioni preliminari sull’interesse medico-legale per un esatto approccio diagnostico degli itteri, ponendo in rilievo le difficoltà che a tal fine possono presentarsi nella comune prassi valutativa.
Nell’ambito degli itteri cronici anemolitici ritengono degno di interesse presentare un caso di complessa definizione diagnostica in cui il quadro clinico-bioumorale epatico di base si è complicato nel tempo per le alterazioni morfofunzionali indotte da una sopravvenuta epatopatia acquisita, con effetto finale di evoluzione cirrogena.
In sede di valutazione assicurativa INPS pongono infine in rilievo come siano venuti a delinearsi nel caso in esame elementi medico-legali secondo cui, divenuto l’errore metabolico congenito una concausa di stato anteriore, è stato possibile il superamento della soglia invalidante

Risorse laboratoristiche per il rilievo di simulazione in tema di diabete mellito
Per la valutazione laboratoristica, in ambito medico-legale, delle condizioni iperglicemiche si propone una metodologia di accertamento capace di dare risultati affidabili anche nel caso di eventuali tentativi di simulazione, e con semplicità di esecuzione.
Essa si fonda su rilievi glicemici seriati in combinazione col dosaggio dell’emoglobina glicosilata. La metodica, sperimentata in uno studio su 239 soggetti, ha consentito di individuare una significativa percentuale di simulatori di ma1attia o della sua gravità, non obiettivabili mediante le abituali metodologie basate su1la semplice determinazione di glicemie ripetute in diverse occasioni
Variations on the Author
“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
We 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
