No full text“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
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Juventud y parque de Yamaguchi en Pamplona
No full textA día de hoy son muchos los jóvenes que acuden al parque de Yamaguchi
situado en la ciudad de Pamplona. Allí realizan diferentes actividades sociales en solitario o en compañía de familiares y amigos. La presente investigación
pretende estudiar la distribución, usos y prácticas sociales que los jóvenes llevan a
acabo en este parque. Para ello, se utilizan dos instrumentos para la recogida de
datos. Por un lado, entrevistas realizadas a jóvenes que se encuentran en el mismo
parque y, por otro lado, el análisis de la distribución de la juventud en el parque por
medio de un trabajo de campo.Nowadays many young people come to the Yamaguchi park which is located in
the city of Pamplona. There do different social activities. Either alone or in the
company of family and friends. This research aims to study the distribution, customs
and social practices that young people just take in Yamaguchi´s park. For this purpose
two sociologic methods of data collection are used. On the one hand, interviews with
young people who are in the park at the moment, and on the other hand, analysis of
the distribution of youth in the park through a field study based in planes.Graduado o Graduada en Sociología Aplicada por la Universidad Pública de NavarraSoziologia Aplikatuan Graduatua Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa

No full textDispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Management of patients with Yamaguchi syndrome. Clinical case
No full textUniversitatea de Stat de Medicină şi Farmacie „Nicolae Testemiţanu”, Chişinău, Republica MoldovaIntroducere. Sindromul Yamaguchi este o afecțiune rară, ce mimează un sindrom coronarian acut și prezintă hipertrofia apicală a ventriculului stâng. Apare mai frecvent la rasa asiatică. Prezintă complicațiile: anevrism ventricular, infarct miocardic, fibrilație atrială, edem pulmonar acut, in suficiența cardiacă. Scopul lucrării. Evaluarea și managementul pacientului cu Sindromul Yamaguchi și complicațiile acestuia. Materiale si metode. A fost evaluat pacienta în vârstă de 59 de ani, cunoscută cu cardiomiopatia hipertrofică, care a fost internată în stare gravă cu diagnosticul de cardiomiopatie hipertrofică, edem pulmonar acut. Diagnosticul a fost confirmat prin tabloul clinic, electrocardiogramă, ecocardiografie, radiografia cutiei toracice, marcherii inflamatori și investigațiile de laborator. Rezultate. S-a efectuat oxigenoterapie, managementul distresului respirator cu morfina, s-au administrat: diuretice – furosemid, spironolacton, bronhodilatator – euphillini, beta-blocantnebivolol, antitrombotic - acid acetilsalicilicum si inhibitor SGLT2 – dapagliflozin. Pe fundal de tratament starea pacientei s-a ameliorat. Concluzii. Familiarizarea cu sindromul Yamaguchi și diagnosticarea precoce prezintă interes vital. Pacienții diagnosticați cu sindromul Yamaguchi necesită monitorizare și evaluare în dinamică, întrucât pot prezenta complicații severe în timp.Background. Yamaguchi syndrome is a rare condition that mimics acute coronary syndrome and is characterized by left ventricular apical hypertrophy. It occurs more frequently in the Asian race. It may present the following com plications: ventricular aneurysm, myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, acute pulmonary edema, heart failure. Objective of the study. Evaluation and management of the patient with Yamaguchi Syndrome and its complications. Material and methods. A 59-year-old patient, known with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, who was hospitalized with the diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and acute pulmonary oedema, was evaluated. The diagnosis was confirmed by clinical picture, electrocardiogram, echocardiography, chest X-ray, inflammatory markers and laboratory in vestigations. Results. Oxygen therapy, respiratory distress management with morphine were administered: diuretics – furosemide, spironolactone, bronchodilator – euphilline, beta-blocker-nebivolol, antithrombotic - acetylsalicylic acid and SGLT2 inhibitor – dapagliflozin. Due to the treatment, the patient’s condition improved. Conclusion. Consider ations regarding Yamaguchi syndrome and its early diagno sis are of vital interest. Patients diagnosed with Yamaguchi syndrome require early monitoring and evaluation as they may experience severe complications over time
A memória histórica do cotidiano através de fotografias das famílias imigrantes japoneses: Yamaguchi e Tawada século XX
No full textA presente pesquisa histórica apresentará um estudo da imigração japonesa ao Brasil, sua contribuição socioeconômica, as permanências culturais que continuam aos descendentes e a construção da memória histórica através de fotografias, entrevista e cotidiano. Buscar na História do Brasil os momentos da trajetória da imigração depois do fim da escravidão, especificamente da imigração dos japoneses que tiveram pressão social e política desde a sua primeira viagem ao país em 1908. Contratar essa mão de obra não foi fácil, pela demora da viagem; por problemas de aprendizagem da língua portuguesa; pela cultura diferente; por não se habituarem ao clima, a moradia, entre outros casos; pela perseguição na Segunda Grande Guerra e também pelo efeito do ‘racismo’ aos amarelos feitas por governantes e eugenistas. Objetiva trazer para a contemporaneidade o comportamento familiar a respeito das relações sociais, quanto ao trabalho, educação, saúde e outros assuntos do cotidiano. Com base em fontes escritas, orais e fotográficas busca-se significar para a história os “lugares de memória” (LE GOFF, 1996) das famílias de imigrantes japoneses, neste caso especifico o estudo das Famílias Yamaguchi e Tawada, que chegaram ao Brasil na década de 193
