Il voto come processo sociale. Analisi dell’influenza del neighborhood effect basata su analisi GIS e comparazioni storiche
Full text linkIn uno scenario politico in continuo mutamento, dove in pochi anni si sono susseguite crisi
economiche globali, formazioni di nuovi partiti e movimenti, crolli e ristrutturazioni di partiti
storici, gli strumenti di analisi nella borsa degli attrezzi del ricercatore sociale fanno fatica a
continuare a mantenere la Ioro efficacia.
Questo Iavoro si pone nell'area di intersezione di diversi approcci utilizzati nella ricerca
sociale: si occupa della formazione dei processi decisionali e dell'influenza dell'interazione tra
individui, di analisi spaziale ed ecologica e dei comportamenti elettorali e tenta di fissare un
punto ultimo di convergenza di questi elementi nella sua componente finale e riassuntiva, un
modello di simulazione sociale.
L'obiettivo è ricostruire i processi decisionali che formano e plasmano l'intenzione di voto nel
contesto dove gli elettori vivono la Ioro vita - nei Ioro territori, tra le persone che
frequentano, nella famiglia o al Iavoro — per valutare l'influenza esercitata dalla interazione
locale con i propri vicini. In poche parole, l'obiettivo è valutare l'esistenza di neighborhood
effects territorialmente circoscritti.
Per farlo, è stato necessario ripensare l'atto del voto non come una scelta istantanea, ma come un
processo sociale, interazionale e simbolico. Pensare il voto come un processo decisionale implica
studiarne la sua componente sociologica e culturale, comprenderlo e rappresentarlo nella sua
dinamicità.
Infine, parte dell'elaborato è dedicata alla rendicontazione del processo di ricerca, in una
prospettiva auto-critica, per documentare le azioni svolte, dalla strategia fino all'analisi dei
risultati, nella prospettiva di intendere questo prodotto non come un Iavoro compiuto, ma come un
percorso di crescita, apprendimento e un'occasione di confronto con ambiti di ricerca

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
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

Epidemiologyandcost of in-hospital falls: Monitoring 22 consecutivemonthsat the "policlinico" hospital of bari.a pilot study in Italy
No full textThe authors present the results of a retrospective study on falls performed at "Policlinico" Hospital of Bari, Italy, in the period 1st March 2011-31st December 2012. A systematic approach was performed to estimate the average hospital cost and length of stay (LOS) associated with injurious falls in our hospital. Particularly, a surveillance system based on the distribution and filing of "Fall of the Patient" record cards has long been in place. The study revealed 175 falls, accounting for the 0.1 % of the admissions to the Policlinico Hospital in the examined period, which had both human and financial costs, the latter related to extra-treatment (medical investigations-both instrumental and clinical- A nd therapies), increased lengths of stay, complaints and, in some cases, litigations. All these aspects produced an outlay of 159.108,53 (up to 31st) December 2013). Accordingly, even though it is unrealistic to consider all falls to be preventable, the authors hypothesize that a system-based fall-prevention program targeting high-risk situations would result in fewer falls. As the model actually in use in Bari is certainly exportable to other national entities, Hospital General Directions should have a leading role in creating effective programs of monitoring and prevention, consequently reducing hospital costs
