Remarks on Breaches of State Contracts for the Purposes of Jurisdiction and Admissibility in International Investment Arbitration
No full textThe contribution addresses the age-old issue of the relevance of State contracts in international law from the standpoint of international investment arbitration. The main focus of the following analysis will be on the question whether international adjudicative bodies - with special regard to investment arbitration tribunals - may be validly seised for breach of a State contract with a foreign investor by the host State. This analysis will be conducted in the light of the following three basic premises. First, the contract is governed by the domestic law of the host State; second, municipal law is tantamount to a fact before an international tribunal; third, ‘[t]he characterization of an act of a State as internationally wrongful is governed by international law’
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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

In tema di diritto di iniziativa dei cittadini europei

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
Il mantenimento della pace nei rapporti tra l'ONU e le organizzazioni regionali
No full textNell'ambito dell'ampia problematica relativa ai rapporti tra Nazioni Unite e organizzazioni regionali per il mantenimento della pace e della sicurezza internazionali, il presente lavoro si concentra sulla questione, molto dibattuta nella dottrina internazionalistica italiana e straniera, della necessità dell'autorizzazione del Consiglio di sicurezza per le peace-keeping operations "robuste" condotte da organizzazioni regionali, cioè quelle operazioni che svolgono o si trovano a svolgere nel corso del loro mandato funzioni di carattere coercitivo. Oltre ad esaminare le disposizioni della Carta e quelle degli Statuti di alcune organizzazioni regionali rilevanti, il lavoro propone un'analisi della prassi più recente delle autorizzazioni del Consiglio di sicurezza per interventi militari delle organizzazioni regionali. L'obiettivo principale del lavoro è quello di stabilire se e a quali condizioni il sistema del mantenimento della pace può sopportare eventuali deviazioni dal paradigma di legalità stabilito dalla Carta dell'ONU
