Controllo della mobilità e sorveglianza politica nel Risorgimento: riflessioni a partire dal caso di studio degli Attendibili di Capitanata (1848-1860)
No full textThrough the study of unpublished documents from the State Archive in Foggia, this
essay offers an analysis of the procedures in use for personal identification and mobility
control for the purpose of police surveillance and political repression in the period
between the 1848 Revolution and the fall of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. In continuity
with the work of Laura Di Fiore on the limitations to the freedom of movement
of people under surveillance, this research analyses the arbitrariness as well as the discretionary
powers entrusted to the security forces with the aim of political repression
IL FONDO MANOSCRITTI VILLANI: LE TRACCE DEL BRIGANTAGGIO IN UN ARCHIVIO PRIVATO, TRA CRONACA E CONFLITTO.
No full textIl volume apre la Collana "I quaderni di Scienze Politiche" diretta dalla prof.ssa Francesca Fausta Gallo dell'Università degli Studi di Teramo. Le ricerche sul brigantaggio, nell’ultimo ventennio, si sono moltiplicate soprattutto grazie all’emergere di nuovi campi di ricerca e di inedite linee interpretative. Con questo volume, che scaturisce da un seminario tenutosi a Teramo nel giugno 2021, si vuole dare nuova centralità soprattutto alle fonti, a partire da quelle archivistiche. Nella prima parte del libro, i saggi degli archivisti dei principali archivi di stato abruzzesi presentano una ricognizione sulle fonti, tenendo presente una cronologia ampia, non schiacciata sul “brigantaggio post-unitario”, e provando a restituire la variegata complessità del fenomeno, al di là di precostituite e ormai superate differenziazioni tra “brigantaggio politico” e “brigantaggio sociale”. Nella seconda parte vengono presentate alcune ricerche inedite, ognuna delle quali si è concentrata sull’indagine di una fonte specifica per tipologia (fonti iconografiche, diari, fonti giudiziarie), per cronologia (dal XVIII al XX secolo), per luogo di produzione e conservazione
Placebo and cultural responses*
No full textBackground: Features of placebo response in medicine have been forgotten and ignored over the last decade. Aim: To explore why patients do get better with placebo despite its perceived inertness. Methods: This lecture reviews the relation between illness perception, psychopharmacology and culture. Results: Placebo response must be considered in the context of how patients perceive their experience of disease (illness) and through their own cultures, which determine cognitive schema and explanatory model of illness. Most of the placebo response relies on the classical conditioning and expectancy of patients. Moreover, the colour, size, formulation, cost of medications can affect the psychological response to any pharmacological treatment. Conclusions: Modern psychopharmacology should consider placebo and cultural variations as relevant factors of treatment response
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
