The youth on-line life: risks, violence and support networks
Full text linkThe paper presents the results of an online survey carried out by five Italian Universities to investigate the cyber violence phenomenon between young people aged between 19 and 25 (2365 valid questionnaires). The web transforms social relationships because it moves them out of the 'real' context and places them in an undefined space-time dimension where, the identity dimension does not pass only through being passive users but active builders of content and relationships. The web is not without risks, including the well-known phenomenon of cyberviolence. The data collected allow us to focus on formal and informal networks (ref. family and school) that young people activate between real and virtual life to cope with the risks and problems arising from the phenomena of cyberviolence. Within the analysis we adopted a gender approach useful to emphasize the different forms of violence that can be characterized by male and female points of view. In the conclusions we also focus on interventions that can be put in place to address this problem by imagining the characteristics of an alliance between institutions (family and school) that could represent a safety network for boys and girls starting from the awareness of the risks that the network can offer
Conciliazione famiglia e lavoro tra smart-working e diversity management. Una riflessione su pratiche e nuove semantiche
No full textLa conciliazione famiglia-lavoro si sviluppa all’interno di biografie personali e professionali che mutano nel tempo, soprattutto in relazione alle differenti fasi della vita. Le strategie e le pratiche conciliative risultano essere tento più efficaci tanto quanto sono capaci di adattarsi alle transizioni del ciclo di vita familiare e ai processi evolutivi dell’organizzazione del lavoro, soprattutto in termini tecnologici. Lo smart-working costituisce uno strumento innovativo, garante di un sistema di flessibilità di orari e spazi – agevolato dai recenti dispositivi di legge – e che pone al centro la libertà di auto-organizzarsi del lavoratore, dentro obiettivi concordati. Tuttavia alcune dimensioni di disparità e di difficoltà nell’accesso a questi strumenti evidenzia la necessità di una revisione e ampliamento del significato e delle modalità applicative dello stesso. Il tema della differenziazione e della flessibilità degli strumenti operativi a partire dalle risorse e dalle specificità dei lavoratori trova riscontro nell’approccio del diversity management. L’analisi della conciliazione famiglia-lavoro e dello smart-working, rispetto all’approccio del diversity management diviene una possibile nuova pratica per mostrare come luoghi di lavoro più attenti al tema del welfare mirato alle esigenze e alle differenze tra le persone possano garantire politiche di conciliazione più efficaci
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
LA LINGUA ITALIANA PER L’INTEGRAZIONE E PER IL LAVORO. Percorsi linguistici di apprendimento dell’Italiano L2 nella Regione Marche
No full textIl progetto intende promuovere la sperimentazione e la diffusione, sul territorio della
Regione Marche, di servizi linguistici rivolti a Cittadini di Paesi terzi, finalizzati a:
- contribuire alla acquisizione, da parte dei cittadini immigrati in condizione di vulnerabilità (richiedenti asilo e rifugiati con bassa/nulla scolarità: analfabeti, semianalfabeti e analfabeti funzionali), di competenze più alte nella padronanza
dell’Italiano L2 (Livello A1);
- contribuire alla acquisizione, da parte dei cittadini immigrati in condizione di vulnerabilità, di conoscenze più precise del contesto e delle condizioni lavorative in Italia, al fine di agevolare il loro processo d’inclusione sociale e cittadinanza attiva.
L'unità locale di UniMc si occupa in particolare di questo secondo aspetto, sviluppando un sillabo per l'italiano per il lavoro (livello A2) e un corso di formazione per docenti della formazione linguistica in questo settore
