    Este trabajo plantea la viabilidad de crear un centro de acopio sostenible en Zacarías, orientado a evaluar su factibilidad y a diseñar un espacio que permita a los agricultores almacenar, clasificar y comercializar sus productos de manera más eficiente y responsable con el ambiente. Su objetivo principal es analizar su viabilidad y establecer una infraestructura de acopio para pequeños agricultores locales, permitiéndoles almacenar, clasificar y comercializar sus productos de manera eficiente y sostenible. La investigación destaca cómo la ausencia de un espacio adecuado afecta a los agricultores al dificultar la conservación y venta de sus productos, lo que impacta negativamente en sus ingresos y limita el acceso a mercados más amplios. El documento también aborda la importancia de un centro sostenible, que fomente prácticas ecológicas y adaptables frente al cambio climático. Se considera que esta infraestructura podría mejorar la economía local, reducir pérdidas postcosecha y ofrecer mejores precios mediante la eliminación de intermediarios. El centro de acopio también fortalecería la identidad cultural y el consumo de productos frescos, abriendo la puerta a nuevos negocios y potencialmente al turismo rural. La arquitectura del proyecto responde a la necesidad de infraestructura adecuada para los productores, promoviendo un desarrollo más equitativo y sostenible en Zacarías. La metodología utilizada combina encuestas y entrevistas para captar tanto datos cuantitativos como cualitativos, y se examinan aspectos históricos, legales y conceptuales sobre centros de acopio. Finalmente, el estudio propone recomendaciones y lineamientos de diseño para garantizar que el centro de acopio satisfaga las necesidades locales y promueva el desarrollo sostenible en Zacarías.This paper proposes the feasibility of creating a sustainable collection center in Zacarías, aiming to evaluate its feasibility and design a space that allows farmers to store, classify, and market their products more efficiently and in an environmentally responsible manner. Its main objective is to analyze its feasibility and establish a collection infrastructure for small local farmers, allowing them to store, classify, and market their products efficiently and sustainably. The research highlights how the lack of adequate space affects farmers by making it difficult to preserve and sell their products, negatively impacting their income and limiting access to broader markets. The document also addresses the importance of a sustainable center that promotes ecological and climate-adaptive practices. It is believed that this infrastructure could improve the local economy, reduce post-harvest losses, and offer better prices by eliminating intermediaries. The collection center would also strengthen cultural identity and the consumption of fresh produce, opening the door to new businesses and potentially rural tourism. The project's architecture responds to the need for adequate infrastructure for producers, promoting more equitable and sustainable development in Zacarías. The methodology used combines surveys and interviews to capture both quantitative and qualitative data, and examines historical, legal, and conceptual aspects of collection centers. Finally, the study proposes recommendations and design guidelines to ensure that the collection center meets local needs and promotes sustainable development in Zacarías.INTRODUCCIÓN 1 PREGUNTA DE INVESTIGACIÓN 1.1 FORMULACIÓN DE LA PREGUNTA: 1.2 ¿POR QUÉ ES IMPORTANTE? 2 OBJETIVOS 2.1 OBJETIVO GENERAL 2.2 OBJETIVOS ESPECÍFICOS 3 PLANTEAMIENTO DEL PROBLEMA 4 BASES TEÓRICAS 4.1 MARCO HISTÓRICO 4.2 MARCO LEGAL 4.3 MARCO CONCEPTUAL 5 MARCO METODOLÓGICO 5.2 ENFOQUE EXPLORATORIO 5.3 DISEÑO DE LA ENCUESTA 5.3.1 Tamaño muestral de la encuesta 7.

    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

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    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.
