FOOD CONSUMPTION AND INNOVATION: FUNCTIONAL FOODS
No full textIncreasing numbers of scientific evidences demonstrate the health-promoting properties of some foods and food components besides ensuring the basic nutrients intake. The profound changes in the society lifestyles of the last decades
have made consumers more conscious regard the connection between health, longevity and diet, orienting their choices towards new food models. It’s particularly interesting the possibility to prevent those diseases that have spread in countries with economic well-being, only modifying eating habits, and, in this contest, functional foods play undoubtedly an outstanding role in the continuous changing demand for foods. In order to meet these needs, processing industries will have to choose indeed whether to maintain product lines responding to the logic of competition only, or to point to a new development prospective represented by the connection between scientific research and demand for wellness. The aim of this work is providing an overview on the current worldwide legislative situation, market development and the future potential of functional foods, focusing on the Italian market condition
Per una metodologia della regolazione emozionale basata su principi psicodinamici
No full textDifferenti modelli di psicoterapia provenienti dai più svariati orientamenti teorici hanno nel tempo in- corporato principi e tecniche per migliorare la regolazione emozionale del paziente. Tuttavia, nell’ambito della psicoterapia psicodinamica, un chiaro tentativo di integrazione con le conoscenze de- rivanti dalla scienza della regolazione emozionale non è ancora stato fatto. Noi crediamo che la scienza psicodinamica possa offrire interessanti riflessioni su: 1) cosa debba essere regolato durante la regola- zione emozionale e 2) come ciò debba essere fatto (strategie e tecniche). In linea con i principi psicodi- namici, noi sosteniamo che la regolazione debba essere rivolta a due aspetti fondamentali di ogni condi- zione psicopatologica: l’eccessiva ansia elicitata dall’emergere di emozioni; e gli affetti difensivi, ovve- ro stati affettivi secondari creati dall’utilizzo di meccanismi di difesa patologici che sostituiscono e co- prono le emozioni originarie. Lo scopo della terapia è di regolare questi stati affettivi (regolazione emo- zionale propriamente detta, RE), e nel frattempo aiutare il paziente ad accedere, elaborare ed esprimere le emozioni primarie o reattive allo stimolo (esperienza emozionale, EE). Dopo alcune considerazioni teoriche, verrà proposta una metodologia di regolazione emozionale basata su principi psicodinamici ed esperienziali e una serie di tecniche che il clinico può utilizzare nel trattamento degli stati affettivi disre- golati, e che lo sperimentatore può testare nel laboratorio
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
