The routes of child labour: juvenile emigration and police regulations between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, in L. Nuzzo, M. Pifferi, G. Speciale, C. Vano (a cura di), "Legal Responses to Mass Migration: From the Nineteenth Century to World War II", Routledge Giappichelli, Torino 2024.
No full textThe essay investigates the Italian juvenile emigration regulation between the country Unity and the enactment of the emigration law of 1901. Following to the first reports about the “children trade” in the 1860s, a law facing the problem of juvenile emigration and children exploitation abroad was promulgated in 1873, but it proved to be ineffective. Only the “social law” on emigration of 1901, directed to protect emigration, would represent a turning point in the regulation of children expatriations
Ipotesi sulla presenza di Glaucium flavum nel barocco leccese
Full text linkRiassunto - Il barocco leccese si caratterizza per la ricca presenza di decorazioni vegetali, foglie, fusti e frutti. La tipica decorazione
del capitello corinzio ha come elemento distintivo le foglie d’acanto. Per analogia con le decorazioni corinzie, molte
altre foglie vengono definite “foglia d’acanto” pur non corrispondendo a tale pianta da un punto di vista anatomico. Sfruttando
alcune caratteristiche botaniche, abbiamo identificato in molte decorazioni i tratti che riteniamo caratteristici della pianta
tipica delle coste pugliesi Glaucium flavum Crantz comunemente noto come ‘papavero cornuto’. Se l’identificazione sarà confermata
da valutazioni indipendenti, questa pianta potrebbe rappresentare un motivo decorativo estremamente ricorrente
poiché parzialmente riprodotta in quasi ogni decorazione barocca del ‘700. L’importanza del riscontro di una pianta selvatica
tipica degli ambienti salentini viene qui discussa
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

No full textVariations 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
Genetics and mechanisms of disease in Rett Syndrome
No full textRett syndrome is a severe X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder and the second most common cause of mental retardation in females. In addition to the classic form characterized by typical clinical manifestations, five variants have been described. Mutations in the MECP2 gene account for the majority of Rett cases, whereas genetic heterogeneity is associated with the variants. This review will focus on recently published work that reveals novel aspects of the molecular biology of Rett syndrome. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
