Carenza estrogenica e sindrome ansioso-depressiva in menopausa
No full textThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of hormone replacement therapy on postmenopausal women's depression. 85 patients served as therapy group (transdermal or oral) and 63 of them were depressed at follow up, 59 of them improved after one year of therapy. 130 patients served as control group and 83 of them had a depressive syndrome at follow up. Only 6 of them improved after one year. In conclusion, hormone replacement therapy appeared to be effective in depression and in mood disorders in postmenopausal women and there was a very significant difference between therapy and control groups (p<0.0001)

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
Renewable Energy Communities in Rural Areas: A Hybrid GIS-MCDM Approach for Agrivoltaic Systems Site Selection
Full text linkGiven the environmental challenges, developing efficient methodologies for renewable energy
systems is essential. Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) promote collective participation in photovoltaic
systems, optimising self-consumption and reducing grid dependence. Agrivoltaics combine solar energy
production with agricultural activity on the same land, improving land use efficiency and supporting energy and
food production. This study uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision Making
(MCDM) techniques to create a strategic framework for selecting agrivoltaics sites. The methodology integrates
data layers, including topography, infrastructure, and environmental factors. Criteria are weighted using
subjective (Best-Worst Method) and objective (Entropy Method) approaches, and the TOPSIS method ranks
sites by suitability. An ABC analysis categorises these sites into high, moderate, and low suitability based on
TOPSIS scores. The case study demonstrates the approach's effectiveness, with significant land areas identified
as highly suitable for agrivoltaic development due to factors like flat terrain, proximity to infrastructure, and
regulatory compliance. This work contributes to the strategic sizing of agrivoltaics, facilitating novel REC
initiatives that connect rural and urban areas
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
