SHAFE environments climate proof, La progettazione di ambienti SHAFE a prova di clima
No full textL’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità ha stimato che il numero di persone con più di 60 anni è destinato a raddoppiare entro il 2050 e, parallelamente, si prevede un incremento delle minacce causate da un clima che cambia. Questo articolo propone una strategia innovativa per fronteggiare questa sfida: il modello SHAFE fondato sulla progettazione inclusiva e user-centered di ambienti di vita a prova di clima rispondenti alle mutevoli esigenze delle persone in un’ottica lifecourse

Cátedra de Química Biológica; Argentina.Previously we reported that the catalytic activity of bovine erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase (BEA) located in Langmuir-Blodgett films (LB) of bovine erythrocyte membranes (BEM), LBBEA, depended on the curvature and packing of the molecular environment. Moreover, the specific activity of LBBEA was much lower than that of BEA in suspensions of BEM vesicles (SBEA). So, the present work was aimed at maximizing the specific activity of BEA recovered from the transfer of a Langmuir film (LF) from the air-aqueous interface to alkylated solid surfaces and improving the precision of the enzymatic assays.Fil: Felsztyna, I.

Environmental design for SHAFE approach
No full textThe World report on ageing and health highlighted the need to ensure age-friendly environments to foster active and healthy ageing because, as the World Health Organization has estimated, the number of people over 60 is set to double by 2050. Recently, SHAFE (Smart, Healthy, Age-Friendly Environments) has been proposed as a design approach to face the challenge of ageing. SHAFE model is focused on two goals: the promotion of smart and inclusive solutions to improve the independent life throughout the life course, regardless of age, gender, disabilities, cultural differences and personal choices; the optimization of social and physical environments, supported by digital tools and services. Nevertheless, studies on how to apply integrated principles of SHAFE to architectural design are still lacking, even if the interdisciplinary network NET4Age-Friendly is the most recent application of SHAFE model and aims to implement its practice and deployment. Based on a literature review, the paper discusses the contribution of environmental design for improving SHAFE approach on architecture, to build living spaces really responding to the changing needs of people from the ageing in place to the long-life approach
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

No full textDispelling 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
