L’omicidio volontario a Terni dal 2010 al 2018: casistica autoptica e comparazione con precedente studio.
No full textl presente studio si è posto come obiettivo quello di esaminare il fenomeno dell’omicidio volontario nella città di Terni nel periodo che va dal 2010 al 2018, integrando poi i dati ottenuti con quelli di un analogo studio condotto in precedenza dall’Istituto di Medicina Legale di Terni relativo al periodo 1984-2009. I dati analizzati sono stati estrapolati a partire da sopralluoghi giudiziari, ispezioni cadaveriche esterne, autopsie giudiziarie, sentenze del GIP, della Corte d’Appello, della Suprema Corte di Cassazio- ne. Ai fini dello studio sono stati individuati un totale di 11 casi di omicidio volontario perpetrati in questo periodo di 9 anni, con una media di 1,07 omicidi/anno/100.000 abitanti, maggiore rispetto alla media nazionale, che si attesta a 0,79 omicidi/anno/ 100.000 abitanti. L’integrazione con lo studio precedente ha mostrato inoltre un trend in crescita nel numero di omicidi volontari a Terni, che è passato da 0,5 omicidi/anno/ 100.000 abitanti del quinquennio 1994-1998 a 1,4 omicidi/anno/100.000 del quinquennio 2014-2018. Le vittime sono risultate soprattutto di sesso maschile (55%); nei casi di omicidi perpetrati contro donne l’omicidio ha avuto luogo prevalentemente in un’abitazione privata, mentre nel caso degli uomini, in una pubblica via. Gli autori del delitto sono risultati uomini nella totalità dei casi, sottolineando però che in 2 casi l’autore risulta ad oggi sconosciuto. Si è registrato inoltre, già a partire dai primi anni 2000, un aumento sia di vittime che di assassini di nazionalità straniera, che, in quest’ultimo caso, sono risultati in numero superiore rispetto a quelli di nazionalità italiana; dato assolutamente coerente con l’incremento dei flussi migratori che hanno riguardato anche la città di Terni. Le armi principalmente utilizzate sono state armi da punta e da taglio, seguite da armi da fuoco e mezzi contundenti, mentre il ricorso
all’asfissia meccanica è stato infrequente. Il teatro dell’omicidio è rappresentato soprat- tutto da abitazioni ad uso privato, e il movente è stato prevalentemente di natura passionale; tali riscontri, se consideriamo anche che nella maggior parte dei casi la vittima conosceva il proprio assassino, sono fortemente suggestivi della dimensione “domestica” del reato di omicidio volontario, e permette di affermare come Terni sia una città a basso di tasso di criminalità violenta.The purpose of this study is to examine the phenomenon of voluntary homicides in the
city of Terni in the period beetwen 2010 and 2018, the results was also integrated with
a previous study, carried out by the section of Legal Medicine of Terni for the period
1984-2009. The analyzed data have been extrapolated from judicial ispections, autopsies and sentences issued by the Terni Criminal Court. A total of 11 cases were identified
in this 9 years period, with an average of 1,07 homicides/year/100.000 inhabitants,
higher then the National average rate of 0,79 homicides/year/100.000 inhabitants.
The integration with the previous study have showed a growing trend for the number of
homicides in Terni, from 0,5 homicides/year/100.000 inhabitants of the period
1994-1998 to 1,4 homicides/year/100.000 inhabitants of the period 2014-2018.
Victims was mainly males (55%); women victims was killed above all in private houses,
while men, in public places. The authors of the crime was males in all cases, however, in
2 cases, the author is, today, unknown. There was also an increase of foreigner victims
and murderers; this data is in line with the increase of migration flows also in the ciy of
Terni. Sharp weapons was the most used, followed by firearms and blunt weapons, while
asphyxia was rare. The place of the crime was mainly a private house, and the motive was especially passionate; these results, considering also that in more than half of the cases the victim knew his murder, suggest the domestic dimension of the crime, and it’s possible to say that Terni is a city with a low violent crime rate
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
