    Para este proyecto, mi papel como diseñador y/o ilustrador fue realizar un libro ilustrado en relación con la vida de Alejandro Serna (Hijo) que no solo contará su historia de vida si no también de manera visual el estilo característico “Alejandro Serna” que está plasmado en las chivas que pinta, así como en la ciudad donde reside. Antes de comenzar con la realización del libro ilustrado fue necesario investigar sobre qué son las chivas de escalera, quien es el pintor Alejandro Serna y sobre todo saber acerca del territorio de Andes (antioquia) que para este caso será el principal escenario donde transcurre la historia. De este modo y debido al carácter interpretativo de este trabajo, mi deber como diseñador e ilustrador es plasmar e interpretar los diferentes aspectos, referencias, elementos visuales que se encuentran en la región, las chivas y las mismas personas que viven su día a día alrededor de estos vehículos.PregradoDISEÑADOR(A) GRAFIC

    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

    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    Chivas de Colombia. Análisis iconográfico de la decoración de los buses escalera en Andes. Antioquia: El maestro Alejandro Serna

    Get PDF
    Esta investigación doctoral presenta el fenómeno de la decoración de buses escalera en el municipio de Andes, al suroeste de Antioquia (Colombia), específicamente el caso de Alejandro Serna (1931- 2010), quien fue pionero en emplear la estética más compleja en la ornamentación de estos vehículos. Sus conocimientos empíricos en geometría intuitiva configuraron sus creaciones y su estilo como aportes magistrales al mundo de las artes populares en el país. Estos repertorios visuales propios de Serna atienden la morfología, el estilo y la composición aún manifiestos sobre las carrocerías de las chivas. Por medio de relatos de familiares y amigos y de archivos de prensa, se reconstruye la historia de vida del pintor y su creación. La voz de su hijo Alejandro, quien heredó este conocimiento y continúa con la tradición familiar, se convierte en el punto de partida para comprender la estética y el estilo del padre. A partir de este estudio se desarrolla un análisis morfológico de la obra de Serna, en el que se observan similitudes y divergencias con la iconografía de las chivas o buses escalera oriundos de otras regiones del país: Caribe, Andina y Pacífica. Estos puntos de encuentro/desencuentro permiten detallar los juegos de simetrías y el uso del color como formas de concebir la creación del trazado, haciendo énfasis en los aspectos metodológicos más pertinentes y llamativos que caracterizan esta labor artística en Colombia. Además, se muestra el aporte significativo de esta práctica a las artes populares y a la configuración de identidades locales en torno al patrimonio cultural inmaterial colombiano.Tesis Univ.

    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
