Adolescent Substance Use, Misuse, and Abuse
Full text linkAdolescent substance use, misuse, abuse and dependence is a family-oriented problem given that prevention, early detection, tracking adolescents at high risk (child maltreatment, delinquency, sexually-transmitted diseases, substance use, suicide), treating dependent individuals and their family, and follow up are important. Drug abuse is prevalent among adolescents who, in most cases, ignore the dangers inherent in drug abuse. Many of them engage in drug abuse out of frustration, lack of parental supervision, peer influence, pleasure, poverty, etc. This paper presents a classification of the substances used by adolescents, an inventory of children and adolescents at risk for substance use, an inventory of the domain risk factors for adolescent substance use. The authors also clarify a few terminological issues (abuse, misuse, and use), identify the associations of adolescent substance use, and make an attempt at identifying the parent - adolescent relationship in adolescent substance use with focus on the father – daughter relationship
Alexithymia in Adolescents: A Review of Literature
Full text linkAlexithymia has been extensively studied for almost five decades now all over the world, except for Romania. This paper presents an overview of literature in the field of alexithymia, in general: it provides the etymology of the word alexithymia, its various definitions, its main types (primary, secondary, organic, and normative), and its features. Alexithymia in adolescents has been studied from different perspectives (behavioural, biological, communicational, epistemological, legal, medical, neurobiological, neuropsychological, neuropsychiatric, neuroscientific, psychiatric, psychological, and psychosomatic), in relation to associated conditions (antisocial behaviour (including ADHD), anxiety, delinquency, depression, dissociation, eating disorders, generalised anxiety disorder, other mental disorders, psychiatric symptoms, somatic symptom disorder, suicide risk) or behaviours (aggressive behaviour, deliberate self-harm, risk of problematic Internet use, cognitive reappraisal strategies, borderline personality disorder, anxiety and depression). Researchers have focused on alexithymia and age, gender and culture, tried to identify possible causes of this disorder (childhood family environment, digital / video game addiction or gaming disorder or Internet addiction or Internet gaming disorder, Internet-related disorder, disadvantageous living conditions in childhood, early life experiences, emotional abuse and neglect, emotional difï¬culties with caregivers during childhood, lack of social support, parents with alcohol-use problems, systematic abuses and/or abandonment in childhood or early adolescence) and predictors of alexithymia (attachment style, children’s perception of a neglectful parenting style, deficit in speech development, less cognitive capacity, low self-control of emotions, parents’ alexithymic traits). The article is a plea in favour of explicit assessments of alexithymia before initiating psychological treatments and adequate address of adolescents’ mood disorders

Protecția și promovarea drepturilor copilului: o abordare diacronică
Full text linkAceastă lucrare prezintă istoricul principalelor documente – carte,
convenții, declarații și reguli – privind protecția și promovarea drepturilor
copilului și, implicit, plasamentul și adopția copilului. Perioada analizată
cuprinde aproape mai mult de șase decenii (din 1924 până în 1989). Acest
tip de interes – separată sau legată de protecția și promovarea drepturilor omului, în general, sau de protecția și promovarea altor drepturi (civile,
culturale, economice, politice și sociale), în special – este veche de un
secol în România, unde legislația trece printr-un proces continuu de adaptare
din cauza provocărilor legate de migrație
Social conditioning for the self-harm behaviour in adolescence
Full text link
The most common causes of self-harm in adolescents are related to family (abuse, arguments with parents, poor communication), school (bullying), and behaviour (cyberbullying, illicit substance use, rejection by a boy or girl friend). Adolescents self-mutilate because of difficulty talking about their feelings, of peer contagion, of peer pressure, of suicidal thoughts; out of anger / desperation to seek attention, to show their hopelessness, to show their worthlessness; to be accepted, to rebel, to reject their parents’ values, to state their individuality, or to take risks. Adolescents who self-harm are, usually, adolescents with multiple problems such as co-morbid psychiatric disorders (anorexia nervosa, anxiety state, Bipolar Disorder, conduct disorder, depression, hyperactivity, Post Traumatic Disorder, psychosis), educational failure (learning problems, school refusal), and impaired psychosocial functioning; who come from families with high psychopathology rates; and who may have lived unhappy life events. Depressive disorder is less common among pre-adolescents, with no gender difference; mid-adolescence self-harm behaviour shows a female preponderance, which is also found in adult females.
 
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
