Citazione e 'mise en abyme' nella poesia di Andrea Zanzotto
Il saggio tratta del riuso letterario e della citazione nella poesia di Andrea Zanzotto. Lo studio si occupa di confrontare i termini tanto intertestuali quanto intratestuali con cui l'autore progredisce nella propria scrittura anche riscrivendo e analizzando se stesso

Transcranial doppler in 178 patients before, during, and after carotid endarterectomy
From July 1991 to March 1995, 178 patients who underwent 198 carotid surgical repairs were investigated preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively by transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD). Preoperative TCD evaluation showed stenosis of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) in 4 patients (2.2%), siphon stenosis in 3 (1.6%), incomplete circle of Willis in 23 (12.9%), a decrease of mean blood flow velocity more than 70% of the basal value during digital common carotid compression in 31 (17.9%), and a critical reduction of vasomotor reactivity (no significant increase of mean blood flow velocity in the MCA during breath-holding test) in 34 (19.1%). Nine patients (5%) had surgery without preoperative angiography. In those patients the indication for surgery was based on color Doppler imaging and TCD investigations. Ninety surgical procedures were carried out under general anesthesia and 108 under locoregional anesthesia. in 37 surgeries (31.7%) a shunt was inserted: The use of a shunt was based on a decrease of mean blood flow velocity in the MCA below 50% of the basal value under general anesthesia or loss of consciousness combined with a decrease of mean blood flow velocity in the MCA higher than 70% of the basal value when locoregional anesthesia was employed. Intraoperative TCD monitoring showed a decrease of mean blood flow velocity in the MCA due to shunt malfunction in (8.3%) of 36 surgeries, turbulence of blood flow during declamping in 79 procedures (39.8%), and microembolic events in 10 patients (5%) that were related to one transient and one permanent neurological deficit. Another permanent deficit occurred in a patient without TCD signs. After surgery, TCD reliably detected an early asymptomatic occlusion of the carotid artery, hyperperfusion syndrome in 12 (6.0%), and an increase of vasomotor reactivity in 10(29.4%) of 34 surgeries

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
