    Problem based learning for health personnel This book describes the problem based learning (PBL) educational approach and its application in the health professionals education. Problem based learning (PBL) is a student centred approach to active learning originating from McMaster university in 1970. We can find its roots in John Dewey's approach to education. The author wrote 5 chapters (1-2-3-4-10). The first chapter describes the rationale and the history of problem based learning. The second chapter tries to answer the question: “Is PBL effective?” and illustrates the results of the main systematic reviews concerning student and teacher satisfaction, academic achievements, major competencies acquired by students comparing to traditional curricula. Since PBL is not only an educational methodology, but it is also a curriculum organizer, the third chapter describes how to plan an entire academic curriculum to train health personnel, including a lot of examples of curricula for the training of nurses and physiotherapists at international level. The fourth chapter is dedicated to problem construction, the different formats of problems and taxonomy, how to write a good problem for educational purpose. . Chapter 10 is dedicated to the introduction of PBL in continuing education of inter professional health professions. The book is the most exhaustive one about this subject in Italian language

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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
