    In 2007 in Italy, the National Institute of Health published a new protocol for the National Surveillance of Invasive Bacterial Diseases, in order to enhance the notification system of these diseases and to improve immunization strategies. Available vaccines to prevent these diseases were introduced for the first time into the 1999-2000 National Immunization Plan (NIP) (vaccination against Haemophilus influenzae type b) and the 2005-2007 NIP (vaccination against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C). We evaluated the frequency of invasive diseases, on the basis of the number of notifications, the different immunization strategies in the Italian Regions and the vaccination coverage in Local Health Agency 4 "Chiavarese" (LHA) in the Liguria Region (Italy)

    si tratta di una ricerca sviluppata su asili nido- scuole materne e scuole elementari del Comune di Verona avente per tema alimentazione ed abitudini dei bambini - Sono stati compilati quasi 2700 questionari su di una popolazione di 4200 possibili rispondenti. La fotografia riportata in questo libro è pertanto rappresentativa dei bambini che frequentano le istituzioni pubbliche del Comune di Verona, ma potrebbe ben riflettere la realtà dell'Italia Centro settentrionale date le caratteristiche geoconomiche di Verona

    L'obesità è un interessante problema legato spesso ad un senso di rivalsa nei confronti di una situazione sociale precedente e superata. Il vederne le ricadute familiari è piuttosto intrigant

    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
