Giovanni Strina O. C. D., La Teologia mistica del Ven. E Giovanni di Gesú Maria Carmelitano Scalzo Calagorritano. Introduzione generale. Presentazione di Anastasio Card. Ballestrero. Éditions Soumillion. Bruxelles 1993. XXVI + 302 páginas
No full textResumen: Este estudio de la Theologia mystica de Juan de Jesús María es precedido por una
semblanza de la vida y de la obra del autor español, en torno de las cuales el Padre Strina
figura colmo el más autorizado de sus investigadores contemporáneos, al punto tal que su
Orden le ha conferido la misión de preparar la introducción de la causa de beatificación
y canonización del maestro. Después de una síntesis biográfica (pp. 3-28), el libro contiene
un examen de sus escritos. La primera edición de las Opera omnia apareció en Colonia
en 1622 bajo el cuidado de Bernardus Gualteri, quien dedicó la publicación a San
Roberto Belarmino, quien deparaba una estima singular al místico riojano. La segunda,
calificada por el Padre Strina como «edizione rarissima» (p. 31), vio la luz en la misma
ciudad en 1450, esta vez curada por el carmelita Pablo de Todos los Santos. La tercera y última, debida a Ildefonso de San Luis, también del Carmelo, vio la luz en Florencia entre
1771 y 1774. El Padre Strina consigna que los varios catálogos compuestos para dar
cuenta de la nómina de los escritos de Juan de Jesús María, han ayudado a conformar un
panorama de la vasta literatura que nos ha testado; sin embargo, todos esos elencos han
necesitado sucesivas actualizaciones en razón del descubrimiento progresivos de obras ocultas
en archivos y, por tanto, ignoradas por los editores que no habían registrado su existencia.
El autor ofrece tres criterios de clasificación de dichas obras: 1°) por el orden
de publicación; 2°) por el orden cronológico, aunque el Padre Strina deja constancia que
este orden muchas veces se halla sujeto a presunciones o conjeturas acerca de las fechas
de composición; y 3°) catalogo absoluto («elenco generale categorico»), que comprende
a) los escritos anagógicos, b) los escritos ascéticos, c) los escritos monásticos-disciplinarios,
d) los escritos políticos, e) los escritos históricos, J) los escritos literarios, g) los escritos
diversos, h) los escritos de autenticidad dudosa y i) los escritos inéditos (pp. 29-
48). La primera parte de este libro se cierra con un análisis pormenorizado de la oración
anagógica del maestro calagorritano cuya conclusión se expresa con estas palabras del Padre
Strina: «Se puede afirmar verdaderamente que el Ven. P Juan de Jesús María ha vuelto
a replasmar la teología mística tradicional bajo el influjo dominante y vivificador de la
doctrina de S. Teresa, restituyendo un objetivo práctico de santificación universal para la
primera e insertando a la segunda en su lugar propio dentro del gran cauce de la mística
cristiana» (p. 123)
MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
The role of d-dimer as first marker of thrombophilia in women affected by sterility: implications in pathophysiology and diagnosis of thrombophilia induced sterility
No full textAbstract Background D-dimer is considered a marker of hypercoagulable state and of endogenous fibrinolysis, so increased d-dimer is detectable in patients affected by thrombosis. Yet, several studies showed that also infertility, in particular secondary infertility due to recurrent fetal losses, has been often related to thrombotic events, in particular in women carrying thrombotic risk factors such as inherited thrombophilia (MTHFRC677T, PTHRA20210G, Factor V Leiden polimorphisms and/or inhAfter this screening we selected 39erited protein C, protein S, AT III deficiency) or acquired thrombophilia (primary antiphospholipid syndrome, acquired protein C, protein S, AT III deficiency, drugs induced thrombophilia). However, because its high predictive negative value in case of suspected thrombosis, increased d-dimer has been often associated to subclinical thrombophilia. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of d-dimer as first marker of thrombophilia in women affected by unexplained infertility and subsequently to search the cause of increased d-dimer, such as inherited and/or acquired thrombophilia. Patients and Methods We selected 79 patients with unexplained primary or secondary infertility. We excluded 40 patients affected by hydrosalpinx, uterine fibroids, uterine malformations, endocrinological and immunological diseases, luteal insufficiency, cytogenetical alterations. All remaining 39 patients were tested for d-dimer and divided in two groups: the patients of group A (25 patients) showed increased plasma d-dimer, in group B were included 14 patients with normal plasma level of d-dimer. After this step all 39 patients were screened for MTHFRC677T, PTHRA20210G, Factor V Leiden polimorphisms, protein C, protein S, AT III, anticardiolipin IgM and IgG, lupus anticoagulant. In the control group were included 15 age matched women without sterility problems referred to our outpatient's section of vascular medicine for suspected deep venous thrombosis. Statistical analysis was based on χ2 test, differences were considered to be significant if p Results D-dimer was increased in 25/39 and 20/25 showed inherited/acquired thrombophilia while patients with normal d-dimer showed inherited/acquired thrombophilia in 7/14 (p: Discussion D-dimer is a well known marker of hypercoagulable state, in particular its high predictive negative value in case of suspected thrombosis has been recognised by several reports. Yet, increased d-dimer has been identified also for subclinical thrombophilia besides for vascular thrombosis. Our data, in fact, for the first time suggest an interesting role of d-dimer to identify women affected by unexplained primary or secondary infertility and thrombophilia. So, probably there is a role for d-dimer in these subjects for its predictive positive value. Of course, further data on large based population are needed to confirm our results, because these findings may speed up a diagnostic screening in these patients also for a good cost/effectiveness of this test.</p
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

3D bone biomimetic scaffolds for basic and translational studies with mesenchymal stem cells
No full textMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are recognized as an attractive tool owing to their self-renewal and differentiation capacity, and their ability to secrete bioactive molecules and to regulate the behavior of neighboring cells within different tissues. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that cells prefer three-dimensional (3D) to 2D culture conditions, at least because the former are closer to their natural environment. Thus, for in vitro studies and in vivo utilization, great effort is being dedicated to the optimization of MSC 3D culture systems in view of achieving the intended performance. This implies understanding cell–biomaterial interactions and manipulating the physicochemical characteristics of biomimetic scaffolds to elicit a specific cell behavior. In the bone field, biomimetic scaffolds can be used as 3D structures, where MSCs can be seeded, expanded, and then implanted in vivo for bone repair or bioactive molecules release. Actually, the union of MSCs and biomaterial has been greatly improving the field of tissue regeneration. Here, we will provide some examples of recent advances in basic as well as translational research about MSC-seeded scaffold systems. Overall, the proliferation of tools for a range of applications witnesses a fruitful collaboration among different branches of the scientific community
