No full textThe acoustic environment of the fetus and the mother-fetus communicative relationship: A longitudinal study on a primiparae sample and their children
No full textThe sensorial experience of the fetus in the maternal womb represents an aspect of great interest since several studies have shown how the newborn's competences are what follows a complex previous intra uterine development. Literature underlines that from the 23 th week onwards the fetus reacts to sounds, shows habituation to a repeated acoustic stimulus and can discriminate sounds. Therefore the fetus is able to perceive and distinguish both the internal maternal body sounds and the external acoustic stimuli. The purpose of this longitudinal observational survey was to compare a questionnaire on the fetal auditive exposure, administered to 58 sixth to ninth month pregnant women, to a questionnaire recording the communicative and linguistic development of their children when 10 and 18 months old. With "fetal auditive exposure" we mean the natural exposure to acoustic stimuli that the fetuses experience through their mother's living environment. In our sample we found that intentional linguistic communication from mother to the fetus is the relevant factor that can be associated to the communicative development of the children

No full textA Mother-Fetus communicative relationship: a longitudinal study of 58 primiparae and their children during the first eighteen months
No full textThe purpose of this longitudinal observational survey was to compare a questionnaire on fetal auditive exposure, administered to 58 pregnant women, to the Mac Arthur questionnaire recording the communicative and linguistic development of their children when ten- and eighteen-months-old. By 'fetal auditive exposure' we mean the natural exposure to the acoustic stimuli that the fetuses experience through their mother's living environment. Fifty-eight women in their sixth to ninth month of pregnancy were given a questionnaire evaluating the characteristics of the acoustic aspects of the mother's daily life environment and the quality and quantity of the mother's linguistic communication. Subsequently, the children were tested with the Italian version of the Mac Arthur questionnaire. Lastly, the two questionnaires were compared in order to examine possible associations between the child communicative and linguistic development and the fetal auditive exposure. In our sample we found that intentional linguistic communication from mother to the fetus is a relevant factor that can be associated to the communicative development of the children. The frequency of intentional daily mother-fetus linguistic communication shows an association with the linguistic understanding and the communicative actions and gestures of 18-month children.

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
