Instituto de Investigaciones Sociales; México.Fil: Mussetta, Paula. Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales; México.Este artículo analiza los conflictos sociales surgidos en torno a tres áreas naturales protegidas ( ANP ) de México mediante una perspectiva que hace evidentes tanto la diversidad como la complejidad de dichos conflictos. El análisis parte de la idea de que el “contenido ambiental” de los conflictos ambientales es uno más entre otros y se articula de manera impredecible con otros aspectos que son parte del conflicto mismo. A diferencia de otros abordajes, en este trabajo se desarrolla una metodología que observa la productividad social de los conflictos en tres tipos de procesos. Primero, la territorialización, aspecto que permite ver el lugar cambiante que ocupa la cuestión ambiental en la definición y el desarrollo de los conflictos; segundo, la formación de espacios públicos, que muestra que los efectos de socialización y aprendizaje de los conflictos se producen en un espacio distinto al de los actores directamente involucrados, y por último, la actualización local del derecho, que permite superar la visión de la dogmática jurídica tradicional, que se limita a decir si las normas ambientales se cumplen o no se cumplen, mediante el registro del papel del orden jurídico en diferentes momentos del conflicto

    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

    En este trabajo el autor ofrece un examen sobre las prácticas de dominio eminente (eminent domain) en tres de las más importantes ciudades latinoamericanas. Aborda conforme lo anterior, de manera crítica, las relaciones entre las reglas legales usadas respecto del dominio eminente y el contexto institucional en el cual son aplicadas dichas reglas, en una perspectiva bidimensional: la primera, la de las relaciones entre los poderes judicial, legislativo y ejecutivo en lo concerniente al dominio eminente, y la segunda, la distribución de autoridad con relación al dominio eminente a nivel de gobiernos nacionales, provinciales o locales. Por esta vía logra el autor un acertado análisis comparativo, contextualizando dichas prácticas de dominio eminente, con la realidad de cada una de esas metrópolis, permitiendo las inferencias aterrizadas de que carecen estudios similares.In this work the author offers a rich and deep examination on the practices of “eminent domain” in three of the most important Latin-American cities. He approaches as the previous thing, of a critical way, the relations between the legal rules that concern of “eminent domain” and the institutional context in which the above mentioned rules are applied, in a two-dimensional perspective: the first one, that of the relations between the power judicial, legislative and executive in the relating thing to “eminent domain”, and the second one, the distribution of authority with relation to “eminent domain” to level of national, provincial or local governments. For this route the author achieves a guessed right comparative analysis, giving context to the above mentioned practices of “eminent domain”, in the reality of each one of this metropolis, allowing the inferences landed that similar studies lack

    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

    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
