    Nuovi orizzonti delle università per un mondo più solidale

    Summary: Following closely the documents and the speeches of Pope Francis in its regard, the author proposes ways of undertaking a wise and courageous renewal of the Catholic university, as required by the missionary transformation of a Church which is out-going. A renewal within a continuity, to meet the new challenges of a world in the midst of a crisis which is both anthropological and socio-environmental, in which we encounter regional catastrophes as much as we do social crises and also financial crises. We need a shift od paradigm, not in the form of a synthesis, but in a spiritual atmosphere of research and of certitude based upon the truths of reason and of faith. In this respect, it will be good to appeal to the solidity (the etymological root of solidarity) which derives from knowing that we are responsible for the fragility of others, as we search for our common destiny. This solidarity must be constructed also within our universities, which must not limit themselves just to discovering new elements of knowledge, but which must also bind themselves together in developing new instruments of action by means of innovatory projects which will be capable of remedying the distortions of a culture which is predominantly individualistic and utilitarian in many parts of the world

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    La promulgación de la Constitución apostólica Veritatis gaudium por parte del Papa Francisco el 8 de diciembre de 2017 marca un paso importante para la renovación de las Universidades y Facultades eclesiásticas de la Iglesia. Actualizar el mensaje del Evangelio en la vida diaria y en los diferentes estados de la vida cristiana es un servicio esencial que el Derecho Canónico puede brindar cuando está animado por el principio de la caridad y la justicia según la verdad

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    We 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

    Contribución y límites de las ciencias psicológicas en el discernimiento y en la formación sacerdotal

    El documento de la Congregación para la Educación Católica Orientaciones para el uso de las competencias de la psicología en la admisión y en la formación de los candidatos al sacerdocio (2008) supone un paso adelante y señala con precisión las modalidades del diálogo entre formadores y expertos en las ciencias psicológicas, evitando los peligros tanto de una exclusión preconcebida de la aportación de dichas ciencias en nombre de un espiritualismo desencarnado que no tiene en cuenta la realidad de la condición humana de los candidatos, como de una delegación impropia a estas ciencias del discernimiento vocacional en sustitución (en lugar de integración) de las figuras tradicionales de los formadores institucionales
