La presa in carico residenziale: percorsi di ricerca nelle comunità per minori.
No full textLe comunità residenziali possono essere concepite come “campi esperienziali”, luoghi di esperienza condivisa all’interno dei quali, nel qui e ora della quotidianità e nell’intreccio di storie, esperienze, culture, visioni del mondo, orientamenti e bisogni diversi, gli “abitanti” della comunità, minori e operatori, intrecciano reti relazionali complesse.
L’esplorazione di tali campi esperienziali e del loro funzionamento, la definizione di setting di lavoro clinico e formativo nei quali avviare percorsi trasformativi, è l’interesse che ha mosso il progetto di ricerca e intervento che qui presentiamo.
Nella prospettiva della valutazione del lavoro clinico e della qualità dei servizi offerti ai minori nelle comunità residenziali, tale progetto è volto all’approfondimento della conoscenza dei soggetti che vivono nelle comunità (utenti e operatori), del loro mondo relazionale e dei modi in cui, nell’esperienza delle comunità, azioni e relazioni si intrecciano, attivando processi di cambiamento.
Ambiti di ricerca sono le rappresentazioni di sé e delle relazioni familiari ed interpersonali dei minori ospiti; il percorso di costruzione ed elaborazione della funzione di presa in carico, all’interno dei gruppi di supervisione condotti con gli educatori delle comunità; il “gruppo di comunità”, cui partecipano gli adolescenti maschi e gli operatori di una delle Comunità monitorate.
Focalizzeremo, in questo contributo, le rappresentazioni di sé e delle relazioni familiari ed interpersonali dei minori ospiti in tre comunità residenziali di Palermo ed il loro cambiamento nel tempo.
L’obiettivo è di contribuire, anche attraverso la rilevazione di indicatori empirici, alla comprensione della qualità e dell’organizzazione delle percezioni che i minori hanno della propria vita relazionale, in particolare con la famiglia.
Data la centralità e l’importanza delle relazioni, familiari e sociali, nella fondazione e strutturazione della vita psichica e dato che le relazioni interpersonali rappresentano un importante predittore dell’adattamento socio-emozionale di bambini e adolescenti e permettono anche di predire l’adattamento psicosociale in età adulta (Bracken, 1996), ciò appare di particolare interesse, anche nell’ottica dell’individuazione precoce degli eventuali aspetti problematici e della possibilità di monitorare la presa in carico e modulare la costruzione degli interventi educativi in maniera più consapevole e condivisa.
L’osservazione è stata condotta con un approccio multi-metodo, utilizzando strumenti di matrice teorica diversa: il DSSVF (Disegno Simbolico dello Spazio di Vita Familiare) (Gilli, Greco, Regalia, Banzatti, 1992; Gozzoli, Tamanza, 1998), Il TRI (Test delle Relazioni Interpersonali) (Bracken, 1993) ed il TMA (Test Multidimensionale dell’Autostima) (Bracken B. A., 1992).
I risultati relativi ai re-test mostrano cambiamenti e andamenti differenti delle risposte dei soggetti, nelle tre comunità.
Ciò rimanda ad interrogativi di fondo, su che cosa determini il cambiamento e su quali siano le condizioni per le quali le comunità possano costituirsi come “ambienti terapeutici”, “contesti di cura”.
Visualizzare tutto questo e supportare le osservazioni cliniche con dati empirici di ricerca, offre una importante opportunità di conoscenza e di riflessione sulle condizioni di efficacia del lavoro.The residential care for children can be conceived as «experiential fields», places
of shared experience, where, in the here and now of the everyday life and in the interweaving
of stories, experiences, cultures, world views, predispositions and other needs, the «inhabitants»
of the residential context (children and educators) weave the complex relational networks. Staring
from this approach, the interest that drove the research project and the intervention here presented
is the exploration of these experiential fields and the way in which they work, defining the setting
of clinical work and training in which to open pathways of transformation. About the evaluation
of the clinical work and the quality of services offered to children in residential care, this project
aims to deepen the knowledge of people living in the residential context (children and operators),
focusing the attention on their relational world and on the ways in which actions and relationships
are intertwined and trigger processes of change. In this contribution we will focus a) on the self
and family representations; b) on the interpersonal relationships and c) on their change over time,
of the children hosted in three residential care in Palermo. The observation was conducted with a
multi-method, using different theoretic matrices tools: the DSSVF (Symbolic Drawing of Family Life
Area, Gilli, Greco, Regalia, Banzatti, 1992; Gozzoli, Tamanza, 1998), the IRT (Interpersonal Relationanships
Test; Bracken, 1993) and the TMA (Bracken, 1992). The results for the re-test show
changes and different trends in the responses of subjects in the three residential care for children
involved in this research project

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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
