Comunicazione politica e territorialità. Una Sentiment Analysis per Toni Iwobi
No full textA political and territoriality communication. A Sentiment Analysis for Tony Iwobi
Following a brief survey into the election of immigrants into Italian political parties, this study will concentrate on the case of the Nigerian Senator Tony Iwobi, who was recently elected into the ranks of the League “Lega”. Iwobi’s election is the starting point for the deepening of new communicative processes in which the immigrants in Italy are seen as the protagonists.
Given the ability that Social Media has to narrate the trends of a contemporary election campaign, this qualitative study will be carried out by a semantic analysis methodology of the web known as Opinion Mining: the Sentiment Analysis. Through the use of this tool it is our intention to understand which emotional elements contributed to the election of Iwobi, if there are, what they amount to and if new insights are apparent;
a) Into how Italians perceive immigrants
b) Into how immigrants perceive Italians
The corpus in this pilot phase is limited to six newspapers; Il Fatto Quotidiano, Corriere della Sera, Repubblica, Stampa, Messaggero e Il Mattino which however, allows us to cover the entire Italian territory as a field of investigation. They are able to provide us with information about the feelings which have brought about the Iwobi phenomenon.Communication politique et territorialité. Une Sentiment Analysis pour Tony Iwobi
Après un bref aperçu de l'élection d’immigrés dans les formations politiques italiennes, l’étude se concentrera sur le cas du sénateur nigérian Tony Iwobi élu dans les rangs de la Lega. L’élection de Iwobi constitue l’occasion d’approfondir de nouveaux procédés de communication dont les immigrés en Italie sont les protagonistes.
En considérant la capacité des médias sociaux à raconter les tendances d’une campagne électorale contemporaine, l'enquête qualitative sera menée selon une méthodologie d’analyse du web sémantique de type Opinion Mining: la Sentiment Analysis. À travers l’utilisation de cet instrument, on entend comprendre quels éléments (émotifs) ont amené à l’élection de Iwobi mais également si de nouvelles visions existent et, si oui, comment elles prennent forme:
dans la perception des immigrés de la part des italiens.
dans la perception des italiens de la part des immigrés.
Dans cette phase-pilote, le corpus se limite à 6 journaux qui nous permettent de couvrir tout le territoire italien comme champ d'enquête: Il Fatto Quotidiano, Corriere della Sera, Repubblica, Stampa, Messaggero et Il Mattino et qui peuvent nous donner des informations sur les sentiments qui, dans toute l’Italie, ont amené au phénomène Iwobi
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
The pharmacological management of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy.
No full textIntrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy is the most common liver disease occurring
in the second half of pregnancy, characterized by pruritus and elevated serum
bile acids often coupled to abnormal liver tests. Maternal prognosis is
favourable with a complete symptom resolution after delivery, while preterm
deliveries, fetal respiratory distress and stillbirths may occur. The goal of the
pharmacological treatment of the disease is to improve maternal symptoms and
biochemical alterations and, most importantly, to reduce fetal adverse events.The
present manuscript will review the current knowledge on the pharmacological
treatment of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy
Gender differences in chronic alcoholic and viral liver diseases
No full textChronic liver disease progresses in men and women at different rates, regardless of the etiology of the disease itself. In general, the natural history of chronic liver disease is more favorable in women than in men. The biological basis of these marked differences, in an organ that is not considered a classical hormone-dependent organ, is the presence in the liver of receptors both for estrogens and for androgens, which make the liver susceptible to changes in hormone levels during the various stages of reproductive life. In the literature, there are several studies that demon-strate, both in experimental animal models and in humans, that the presence of estrogens, at levels similar to those of the fertile period, is in principle protective against the develop-ment of a more severe disease, while on the contrary the effect of androgenic modulation has negative effects. Estrogen protection disappears when a woman goes into menopause. As estrogen levels decrease, the tendency to develop a more pronounced fibrosis increases. Most impor-tantly, there is a marked propensity to develop primary liver cancer, which in women over 65 has a similar incidence to that of men
