    La utilización de barnices e inmunizantes químicos presenta un gran riesgo para el medio ambiente y el ser humano por los componentes químicos que este tipo de productos llevan en su composición, generando contaminación atmosférica, contaminando el aceite, y generando riesgos para la salud de las personas que están en contacto con esos productos. Los compuestos orgánicos volátiles (COV) que contiene un producto de este tipo puede generar problemas de salud a corto y a largo plazo, como dificultad respiratoria, irritación de la piel y a la larga, tal vez cáncer en la medida que va siendo utilizado en el tiempo. Es alarmante que no existan regulaciones y alguna restricción para la venta de estos productos puesto que los usuarios carecen de información respecto a los mismos por lo que toman decisiones, sin información. Las medidas son escasas en el ámbito de la regulación de dichos productos químicos; se hacen necesarias, por tanto, medidas más restrictivas para controlar su producción y venta y así proteger el medio ambiente y la salud pública. Ante esta razón, se propone la utilización de un lasur ecológico, también conocido como Eco Madera Protect, el cual se describe como un lasur a base de aceites naturales y resinas emulsionadas en aceite y que representa un producto más inocuo para el medio ambiente que el barniz químico para el recubrimiento y protección de la madera. Mediante este producto se intenta minimizar el impacto ambiental generado por el barniz químico convencional y obtener una mejor solución para las personas que lo utilizan y también para el medio ambiente. El mercado objetivo de la Eco Madera Protect para las micro y pequeñas empresas de revestimiento y protección de elementos de construcción de madera se encuentra ubicado especialmente en la ciudad de Bogotá. Se estima que el sector de la pintura al cual pertenece este producto crecerá con el tiempo a un ritmo sostenido lo que se representa como una oportunidad para afrontar el mercado con un producto ecológico en un sector en expansión. La empresa detrás de Eco Madera Protect, llamada Eco Madera Protect Limitada, tendrá como visión el ser líder en la actividad de diseño, desarrollo, fabricación y comercialización de lasures ecológicos, logrando la rentabilidad y el éxito mediante la aplicación de procesos adecuados, eficientes y seguros, enmarcados dentro de la ética y la igualdad de las oportunidades en la competencia. Su misión será la de proporcionar soluciones innovadoras, sostenibles y de alta calidad de manera de asegurar la protección y la decoración de la madera, la satisfacción del cliente, la seguridad laboral de los trabajadores y el cuidado del medio ambiente, en toda la operación y los procesos productivos y comerciales, en los términos establecidos en esta política.The use of varnishes and chemical immunizers presents a great risk to the environment and human beings due to the chemical components that these types of products contain in their composition, generating atmospheric pollution, contaminating water, and generating health risks for the people who are in contact with these products. The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) contained in this type of product can cause health problems in the short and long term, such as respiratory difficulties, skin irritation and, in the long term, perhaps cancer as it is used over time. It is alarming that there are no regulations or restrictions on the sale of these products, since users lack information about them and therefore make uninformed decisions. Measures are scarce in the area of regulation of these chemical products; more restrictive measures are therefore necessary to control their production and sale and thus protect the environment and public health. For this reason, we propose the use of an ecological lasur, also known as Eco Madera Protect, which is described as a lasur based on natural oils and resins emulsified in water and which represents a more environmentally friendly product than chemical varnish for the coating and protection of wood. This product is intended to minimize the environmental impact generated by conventional chemical varnish and to obtain a better solution for the people who use it and also for the environment. The target market of Eco Madera Protect for micro and small companies that coat and protect wooden construction elements is located especially in the city of Bogotá. It is estimated that the paint sector to which this product belongs will grow over time at a steady pace, which represents an opportunity to address the market with an environmentally friendly product in a growing sector. The company behind Eco Madera Protect, called Eco Madera Protect Limitada, will have as its vision to be a leader in the design, development, manufacture and marketing of ecological paints, achieving profitability and success through the application of appropriate, efficient and safe processes, framed within ethics and equal opportunities in competition. Its mission will be to provide innovative, sustainable and high-quality solutions in order to ensure the protection and decoration of wood, customer satisfaction, occupational safety of workers and care for the environment, throughout the operation and production and commercial processes, under the terms established in this policy.Índice PRÓLOGO 6 INTRODUCCIÓN 21 RESUMEN EJECUTIVO 22 PROBLEMA

    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

    Get PDF
    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

    Get PDF
    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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    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

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
