    Valori socio-politici e appartenenze territoriali. Gli orientamenti nei confronti dell’immigrazione

    No full text
    Il saggio dà conto di una lavoro di ricerca interuniversitario condotto in sei regioni italiane (cinque del nord Italia e la Sardegna) e avente per oggetto la valutazione della forza di alcune territorialià nuove, quelle sovra-regionali, l'Italia del nord, il Nord-est, il Nord-ovest, e la loro composizione con quelle più tradizionali, locale, regionale, nazionale, o ocn quelle ritenute moderne, europea, globale. Per tutte le proncipali appartenenze territoriali si cerca di scoprire non solo la portata sociale ma anche ma anche il retroterra valoriale che le sostiene, combinando il filone di ricerca sugli attaccamenti territoriali con quello sui valori. Il saggio si fonda sull'analisi di una serie di indicatori utili a cogliere gli orientamenti valoriali degli intervistati (2800) in materia di immigrazione e con specifico riferimento al nesso presenze immigrate/appartenenze territoriali

    Negli ultimi anni l’aumento dei flussi migratori verso la rotta centrale del Mediterraneo ha sfidato il sistema di asilo e accoglienza italiano. In linea con il Regolamento di Dublino, l’Italia è stata obbligata a fornire una risposta emergenziale ai flussi misti, questi ultimi costituiti da vittime di tratta, minori non accompagnati e richiedenti asilo. Fra le diverse categorie vulnerabili, enorme attenzione è stata data all’aumento significativo di donne nigeriane. Nel 2016 l’OIM (2017) ha identificato su un numero di ingressi di donne nigeriane di 11.009 unità, ben 8.277 potenziali vittime di tratta. L’intrecciarsi della categoria di “vittima di tratta” con quella di “richiedente asilo” ha messo a dura prova il sistema di protezione antitratta, soprattutto quando le stesse vengano collocate all’interno di un sistema di accoglienza standardizzato con caratteristiche emergenzialiste (Campomori 2016). In tale scenario, questo articolo si focalizza sui seguenti temi: 1) l’identificazione delle vittime di tratta nigeriane nel sistema di asilo; 2) la risposta del sistema antitratta e la collaborazione con i centri di accoglienza per richiedenti asilo che sono anche vittime di tratta di esseri umani.In the last years, the increase of the migration flows in the Central Mediterranean route has challenged the Italian asylum and reception system. In line with the Dublin regulation, Italy had to set up an emergency response to the mixed migration flows, including human trafficking victims, unaccompanied minors and asylum seekers. Among the several identified vulnerable categories, paramount attention has been given to the increase of Nigerian women arriving in Italy. In 2016, IOM (2017) has identified a total of 8.277 potential human trafficking victims out of the 11.009 Nigerian women that arrived in 2016. However, the intersectional categories of asylum seeker and human trafficking victim have challenged the protection path of these women, especially when collocated in an emergency and standardized reception system (Campomori 2016). In such scenario, this paper focuses on the following relevant issues: 1) the identification of Nigerian human trafficking victims in the asylum system; 2) the response of the anti-trafficking system and the collaboration with the reception system for asylum seekers who are victims of trafficking

    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

    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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
