Le risposte istituzionali al calo delle nascite
No full textIn Italia, la questione del calo delle nascite rappresenta una delle più grandi sfide dal punto di vista demografico, culturale, economico e sociale degli ultimi anni. Il persistere di bassi tassi di fecondità totale (TFT), infatti, solleva da tempo numerose preoccupazioni riguardanti la sostenibilità del welfare italiano e del sistema pensionistico che, basandosi sul principio della solidarietà intergenerazionale, rischiano di collassare nella morsa dei recenti squilibri demografici. Inoltre, la tendenza al degiovanimento della popolazione italiana - accompagnata da un continuo aumento degli anziani e dei grandi anziani, portatori di numerosi bisogni in termini socioassistenziali - sembra rendere il quadro ancora più intricato da un punto di vista sia sociale che politico.
Il calo delle nascite è da intendersi, dunque, come un fenomeno complesso e multidimensionale che solleva diverse questioni rispetto al come l'Italia stia reagendo e a a quali siano le politiche pubbliche messe in atto con il fine di sostenere la natalità e facilitare l’approccio delle giovani generazioni alla genitorialità. Occorre notare che se da un lato è vero che l’Italia stia attuando riforme significative nelle sue politiche rivolte alla famiglia, dall’altro, le strategie e le logiche che hanno contraddistinto il welfare italiano fin dalla sua nascita potrebbero limitarne la loro portata innovatrice
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

TRANSLATION OF FIGURATIVE LANGUAGES IN MITCH ALBOM’S NOVEL HAVE A LITTLE FAITH INTO SADARLAH BY RANI R. MOEDIARTA
No full textThis thesis is a study of translation of figurative language in Mitch Albom's novel Have a Little Faith and its Indonesian translation Sadarlah by Rani R. Moediarta. This study is aimed at finding out the types of figurative languages and their translations found in Mitch Albom's novel Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom and its Indonesian Translation by Rani R. Moediarta. The research used a descriptive qualitative method, because it describes the translation of figurative languages and its percentage found in the novel. The result of the analysis showed that there are 149 figurative languages. The figurative languages used in Mitch Albom's novel Have a Little Faith consist ten types of figurative languages that are proposed by Samuel and Frank. Those are: 58 (38.93%) metaphors, 35 (23.49%) similes, 24 (16.11%) idioms, 14 (9.40%) personifications, 8 (5.37%) hyperboles, 3 (2.01%) onomatopoeias, 2 (1.34%) imageries, 2 (1.34%) synecdoche, 2 (1.34%) assonances, and 1 (0.67%) allusion. The translation of figurative language found in Mitch Albom's novel Have a Little Faith is various. The translation of figurative language remains the same, meaning that some figurative language in some text is translated into figurative language in target text. On the other hand some figurative languages in the text are translated literally not into form of figurative languag
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
