L’écologie urbaine: analyse de sept néologismes clés
No full textUrban ecology is a relatively recent field of study, acting as a link between town planning and ecology. In fact, cities themselves present both the problems and solutions to sustainability challenges of an increasingly urbanized world. This article focuses firstly on the reasons why urban ecology has been carrying increasing in importance in the last few years; secondly, on the morphological analysis of a corpus of terms which have recently been introduced into the French Journal Officiel (official gazette) concerning both the fields of town planning and ecology
La terminologia della Smart City. Riflessioni e proposte per un Glossario plurilingue
No full textIl contributo intende illustrare i lavori preparatori per un Glossario plurilingue della Smart City, con riferimento alle lingue italiana, inglese, francese e spagnola. La raccolta terminologica è organizzata intorno a otto domini (Generale, Smart Economy, Smart Environment, Smart Governance, Smart Living, Smart Mobility, Smart People e Smart Technology) e prende in esame 129 lemmi. Infine, viene proposta l’analisi linguistica e semantica dei termini appartenenti al dominio Smart People
LA TERMINOLOGIA FRANCESE DELLA SMART CITY: SVILUPPO NEOLOGICO E DINAMICHE PLURILINGUI
No full textQuesto lavoro presenta uno studio comparativo dei principali caratteri della terminologia specialistica della Smart City in lingua francese, italiana e inglese, e si propone di approfondire la conoscenza dell’ambito disciplinare in analisi. Viene adottato un modello descrittivo ampio, fondato su diversi approcci metodologici. Lo studio è articolato in tre parti, precedute da una premessa dedicata all’analisi diacronica del termine urbanisme. La prima sezione ha lo scopo di delineare e definire il concetto di Smart City, con particolare riguardo alle motivazioni dell’emergere di tale modello urbano all’inizio del XXI secolo, ai principali soggetti coinvolti nella sua realizzazione e al contenuto semantico-retorico che nel tempo ha acquisito l’aggettivo smart, epiteto tutt’altro che neutro o alla moda. Successivamente vengono esaminate la neologia specialistica e le politiche linguistiche romanze: dopo i riferimenti teorici, si procede alla verifica delle potenzialità neologiche delle lingue francese e italiana in relazione alle neoformazioni inglesi nel settore specifico della Smart City. Infine, la terza parte è dedicata alla costruzione di una risorsa terminologica – un glossario plurilingue, allegato al lavoro – intesa come contributo alla definizione e alla divulgazione del concetto di Smart City. In conclusione, si ripercorrono i risultati salienti della ricerca e si delineano ulteriori prospettive di indagine.This work presents a comparative study of the main features of Smart City terminology in French, Italian and English, and it aims at deepening the knowledge of the disciplinary field analysed. A broad descriptive model is adopted, based on several methodological approaches. The study is divided into three parts, preceded by a preface with the diachronic analysis of the French term urbanisme. The first section aims at outlining and defining the Smart City concept, with particular emphasis on the causes of the emergence of this urban model at the beginning of the 21st century, its main stakeholders, and the semantic-rhetoric content of the adjective smart, which is far from being a neutral or fashionable label. Then, terminological neology and normalization in the Romance languages are investigated: the theoretical framework is followed by the study of the neological potential of French and Italian compared to the new English terms appearing in the Smart City domain. Finally, the third part focuses on realizing a terminological resource – a multilingual glossary, in annex – which is designed as a contribution to the definition and dissemination of the Smart City concept. The conclusion includes the main research outcomes and further perspectives of study

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Is there a role for intervention radiology for the treatment of lower limb deep vein thrombosis in the era of direct oral anticoagulants? A comprehensive review
No full textDespite recent advances in the treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) provided by Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOAC), a substantial proportion of lower limb DVT patients will develop some degree of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) within 2 years. Systemic thrombolysis, although effective in reducing the risk of PTS and leg ulceration, is associated with a high risk of major bleeding, making it unsuitable for the vast majority of patients. A local approach, aimed at delivering the fibrinolytic drug directly into, or near to, the thrombus surface, is attractive because of the possibility of lowering of the administered drug dose, thus reducing the bleeding risks. However, even after the recent publication of the ATTRACT trial, only weak evidence is available about the efficacy and safety of Catheter Directed Thrombolysis (CDT), either alone (pharmacological technique) or in combination with additional endovascular approaches (pharmacomechanical technique, PMT) including percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy, angioplasty with or without stenting and ultrasound-assisted CDT. The present review is aimed at providing the physicians with a comprehensive evaluation of the current evidence about this relevant topic, in order to build a reliable conceptual framework for a more appropriate use of this resource
