Results of the European Daphne EMPoWER project (European research project on women groups suffering from gender-based violence).
No full textObjective: You will get a theoretical and empirical overview in the field of different cultures. Special research tools will be introduced. The challenges in an ongoing research project will be shared.
Methodology to be used: Qualitative and quantitative approach. The presentation will be verbal with slides.
Conclusions: The theoretical and empirical findings show that psychodrama is an intervention that strengthens the empowerment of women to say no to violence, to change the victim role and to avoid the violence transmission over generation. The project will give results, limitations and outlook.
Key words: Violence, Trauma, Sociodrama, Gender
Abstract:
The presentation will cover quantitative research tools like Spontaneity Assessment Inventory (SAI-R) and the Clinical Outcome Routine Evaluation Outcome Measure (CORE-OM). We translated into appropriate languages and faced the challenge to validate it and to assess its applicability for women suffering from male violence. American psychodramatic language is not easy to transfer comprehensibly to a cultural diverse population and even more to women suffering from male violence. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) we are using as a third tool for validation. Hundreds of students and trainees of different subjects as well as clients of our partner were tested in order to make qualitative as well as quantitative comparisons between survivors and the so called normal population regarding the outcomes of the research tools. BDI-II seems not comfortable for normal population.
One aim of an investigation coordinated by Ines Testoni from University of Padua is to find out if psychodrama is helpful in the field of women suffering from violence. With an EU Daphne grant against violence the project provided in the experimental group counseling with an integrated-ecological approach and a psychodrama intervention group. The control group got counseling. More than 20 women in each country like Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, Italy, Portugal, and Rumania received intervention which we evaluated with CORE-OM and SAI-R.
There is to discuss how to overcome the problems with different languages and (sub-)cultures in (group-)intervention

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
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
Persecutor-victim relationships in gender violence: from intrafamiliar rape to community violence Vittima e carnefice nella violenza di genere: dalla violenza sessuale intrafamiliare alla violenza di comunità
No full textGendered violence is defined as violence that is perpetuated on women across all societies, communities and groups and that is justified on the basis of sex differences. Various authors have stressed the fact that sexual categories are social constructs that act as a lens through which we model, shape and behave in the world. Gender violence is considered a violation of human rights as it denies equality, security, dignity and the right of individuals to enjoy their fundamental freedoms and rights. Within the policies of the European Union whose goal of preventing and combating violence against women has been pronounced, the project Empower has been instituted in order to break the cycle of violence and victimization passed from the mother to the daughter through the use of psychodrama techniques
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
Enhancing existential thinking through death education: A qualitative study among high school students
Full text linkThe censorship of death-related issues is widespread in contemporary Western culture because the boundary between death and life is substantially managed in medical areas. In the context of Italian educational initiatives, to remove this limitation, 215 high school students in Southern Italy were educated on death through conventional and informal lessons. The students answered a questionnaire with open questions to survey their emotional and reflective experiences. Their answers were qualitatively, thematically analysed to explore how the representation of death can follow a death education course, and if this experience can be managed without harmful effects. The students' answers narrated how the course reduced their anxiety linked to these themes, on the one hand improving communication between peers by making it more authentic and empathic and, on the other, providing alternative perspectives on life. Indeed, the project offered an opportunity to discuss something strongly heartfelt but rarely faced, and the survey confirmed that the research objectives were fully achieved
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
