ADDIZIONARIO: IN BETWEEN COGNITION AND METACOGNITION
No full textMetacognitive theory considers learning as the result of the
activation of several conscious processes. Our project aimed to support
reading comprehension and meaningful learning by the use of conceptual
maps and to investigate the processes involved in motivated learning
when the pupil’s attention is turned to learning objectives and suitable
strategies are made explicit and shared.
The project saw a group of children attending year four in an Italian
primary school tackle a scientific subject matter from a multidisciplinary
perspective. Each pupil created an initial conceptual map in pen-andpaper
format and then a final one with Addizionario. Qualitative and
quantitative comparison between the two outputs showed development in
the learning processes, awareness of the logical reasoning used in
creating the map, and ability to self-monitor the progressive mastering of
knowledge. Active re-elaboration of the material helped the children
understand the learning objectives, and find suitable strategie

Access to mental health services and psychotropic drug use in refugees and asylum seekers hosted in high-income countries
No full textIn the populations of refugees and asylum seekers hosted in high-income countries, access to mental health care and psychotropic drugs, is a major challenge. A recent Swedish cross-sectional register study has explored this phenomenon in a national cohort of 43 403 young refugees and their families from Iraq, Iran, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia and Afghanistan. This register study found lower rates of dispensed psychotropic drugs among recently settled refugees, as compared with Swedish-born residents, with an increase in the use with duration of residence. In this commentary, the results of this survey are discussed in view of their global policy implications for high-income countries hosting populations of refugees and asylum seekers

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
