Fibrolipoma de hipofaringe:Descripcion de un caso y revision de la literatura
No full textA rare case of hypopharyngeal fibrolipoma is reported. The main symptom which brought the patient to an ENT examination was a severe inspiratory dyspnea. Symptomatology, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of this benign tumour are described and the literature review is discussed
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
Financed design research made by Universities: some considerations about the protection of results
No full textThe gradual decrease of the public funding of research, is counterbalanced by an increasing interest by part of the politic power to foster collaboration between universities and industry for development of competitive innovation. In the United States the Bayh–Dole Act of 1980 allowed university patenting, by granting ownership and copyrights of inventions to universities and changing the way public organizations conceive the applied research. The patent has become an increasingly significant indicator of scientific productivity, and seems to be able to grant the kind of protection required by the Industry to cooperate with the University in funding research aimed to innovation. Through an analysis of literature concerning this scenario, the author provides some reflections about the protection of the result of a specific kind of applied research: the Design Research
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
Lesiones ampollosas de la laringe. A proposito de dos casos
No full textTwo cases of bullous disease of the larynx are presented, one located in skin and mucosa and the other in larynx. Clinical history, diagnostic procedures, and therapy are discussed. The patients were re-evaluated periodically for 1 and 2 years, respectively, and they underwent periodic corticoid therapy. None of the severe complications described in the literature were observed in these patients
The importance of architectural technology background and originality in an effective scientific research process
No full textThe doctoral training – nowadays as far as in the past – should deeply understand the meanings of researching scenarios of innovation defined by sudden changes dued to a continuous availability of new technological innovations added to urgent social or market demands.
The training should consider , especially in architectural technology design field, how in the past this kind of cultural challenges has been ruled by other main discipline scientists and which are the real resources and goals of the contemporay scientific research able to influence the future.
Likewise the encouragement to a modernised creativity in researches topics based on the awareness of the new possibilities offered nowadays by available innovative material and immaterial technologies. Thinking that the doctoral training action is itself the result of a research path and a planning act for the future, lead us however – essentially – to spot pre-emptively the prevailing contemporary researchers skills required.
The dissemination ability of the researcher into the global scientific community will be another important issue to manage. The quality of the research activity outcomes, in the future more than today, will be checked through the analysis of the scientific impacts mesaured in the global publishing science area, or better, in the ‘native’ scientific area of the researcher.
From this angle, the researcher should bring out his best to build up his own prestige in the local, national and international scientific sphere; this will bound him frequently to consciously assume some risks in his actions. This last istinct is - in conclusion - one of the most appreciated ability in resarch work teams
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
