Whole-Body Vibration in Extreme Sports
No full textThis chapter describes the response of the human body to vibration in the practice of extreme sports. Recent literature studies evidenced that the whole-body vibration exposure in kitesurfing, snowboarding and skis is much larger than the limits of the current EU legislation. Nevertheless, the number of studies focused on the degenerative pathologies of the musculoskeletal system in sports is still limited and does not evidence a strong prevalence of back pathologies. After summarizing the vibration exposure in kitesurfing, alpine skiing and snowboarding, the vibration transmissibility along the human body in postures typical of these disciplines is analysed. Results outline that the postures assumed in the extreme sports limits the vibration reaching the back, but increases the mechanical stress on the lower extremities, as testified by the most common injuries in these sports
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

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
