Tinacci, L., Santoni S., Magni A., Verde F., Armani A. Standardizzazione dei controlli ufficiali sui prodotti della pesca e importati presso il PCF Livorno: implementazione di una checklist operativa. XXXII Convegno Nazionale dell’Associazione Italiana Veterinari Igienisti (AIVI) – “Nuovi approcci della Medicina Veterinaria per uno sviluppo sostenibile di produzioni e consumi alimentari” (Vibo Valentia, 13-15 Settembre 2023).
No full textLe attività di controllo ufficiale presso i posti di Controllo Frontaliero (PCF) sono state recentemente aggiornate ai sensi del Reg. (UE) 2017/625 e del Dlgs 2021/24 con la ridefinizione e l’ampliamento degli ambiti del controllo e delle categorie di prodotto. A tal proposito, si rende necessaria l’implementazione di procedure standardizzate che includano aspetti specifici di controllo per le singole categorie di prodotto. Pertanto, il presente studio è stato finalizzato alla predisposizione di una checklist operativa per il controllo dei prodotti in ingresso presso il PCF Livorno. La predisposizione della checklist è stata preceduta da un’analisi preliminare volta a selezionare: a) la categoria
di prodotti di origine animale oggetto della checklist attraverso la consultazione dei report annuali (2015-2021) relativi ai volumi delle diverse categorie di prodotto per le quali il PCF Livorno è designato al controllo ufficiale; b) le fonti Europee e nazionali inerenti agli aspetti generali delle attività di controllo ufficiale e dei controlli specifici richiesti per la categoria individuata; c) le eventuali checklist preesistenti sviluppate
per il controllo di alimenti di origine animale presso i PCF Italiani. I prodotti ittici sono stati selezionati come categoria target in quanto rappresentano la categoria merceologica maggiormente rappresentata in termini di volume di importazione, sia presso il PCF Livorno che a livello nazionale. Per l’elaborazione degli obiettivi di controllo della nuova checklist sono state incluse 21 fonti normative (17 europee e 4 nazionali) inerenti a requisiti generali e specifici applicati per l’espletazione delle attività di controllo sui prodotti ittici. L’elaborazione della checklist è stata condotta a seguito di un’analisi descrittivo-comparativa di due checklist preesistenti, redatte rispettivamente dal Ministero della Salute e dall’ ex PIF Livorno, rispettivamente in forma di linea guida e documento interno. La comparazione è stata effettuata per procedere alla definizione della struttura della nuova checklist, degli obiettivi dell’attività di controllo sui prodotti ittici ai sensi della normativa vigente e alla selezione di giudizi di valutazione associati per la definizione della ammissibilità delle partite. La completezza, semplicità di utilizzo e agevolazione delle attività di controllo della nuova checklist sono state verificate attraverso la sua applicazione, a campione, per l’esecuzione di controlli su 64 partite ittiche da parte di un operatore in formazione (studente) sotto la supervisione del veterinario ufficiale che aveva partecipato all’elaborazione del documento. Criticità emerse in termini di completezza degli obiettivi sono state risolte prima della definitiva redazione della checklist. In assenza di indicazioni operative europee e nazionali, il presente studio, sviluppato sui prodotti ittici, descrive un approccio potenzialmente utilizzabile per la redazione di checklist relative a tutte le categorie di prodotto per
le quali i PCF sono chiamati ed effettuare i controlli
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
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
