Hospital Reform in Palermo
No full textA partire dal XV secolo, l'ospedale cessa di essere un riflesso della carità cristiana e diventa un veicolo per la gestione del bene comune. In precedenza, la diffusione della spiritualità influenzata dagli Ordini mendicanti aveva stimolato nuove forme di pietà e opere di carità più ampie, tra cui le visite ai malati, la gestione degli ospedali e la distribuzione di cibo e vestiario.
Il tardo Medioevo vide un un cambiamento radicale. Gli ospedali divennero centri polifunzionali dedicati a vari tipi di cure. In linea con una tendenza osservata in tutta Europa, le principali città siciliane (Messina, Catania, Palermo, Siracusa e Trapani) adattarono i propri sistemi ospedalieri alle esigenze di riforma. Le piccole istituzioni che avevano fornito assistenza e forme minime di cura vennero aggregate in nuovi grandi ospedali. Gli ospedali ospedali urbani assunsero il compito di accogliere i gruppi non in grado di provvedere alle loro necessità (pellegrini, bambini abbandonati, vecchi invalidi, donne sole). Se l’ospedale medievale forniva ricovero e cure a un numero limitato di bisognosi, si assiste a una progressiva medicalizzazione. Sempre di più, grazie anche
anche alle idee diffuse da Leon Battista Alberti, l'ospedale nel Rinascimento divenne centrale e identificabile nello skyline della città, come testimoniano la monumentalità degli edifici e la
e la ricchezza dei loro ornamenti.From the fifteenth century onward, the hospital ceased to be a reflection of Christian charity and became a vehicle for managing the common good. Previously, the spread of spirituality influenced by the mendicant orders stimulated new forms of piety and broader works of charity, including visits to the sick and hospital management and the distribution of food and clothing. The late Middle Ages saw a radical change. Hospitals became multipurpose centers dedicated to various types of care. In alignment with a trend observed throughout Europe, the major Sicilian cities (Messina, Catania, Palermo, Syracuse, and Trapani) adapted their own hospital
systems to the new reforms. The small institutions that had provided care and minimal forms of treatment were aggregated into large new hospitals. Urban hospitals took on the task of accommodating groups unable to provide for their own needs (pilgrims, abandoned children, old invalids, or women in labor). While the medieval hospital provided shelter and care for a limited number of needy, the modern hospital underwent progressive medicalization. More and more, thanks also to the ideas spread by the humanist author Leon Battista Alberti, the hospital in the Renaissance became central and identifiable in the city skyline, as evidenced
by the monumentality of buildings and the richness of their ornaments

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
