Análisis crítico de la geopolítica contemporánea
No full textGeopolitics has been one of the integrating disciplines of different dimensions of geographic science that has been more useful for Politics when taking state related decisions regarding foreign and internal politics. In due context, it’s development, as much as it’s European –German and British– branches, and as much as North American and Asian, had a constant and systematic development until 1945, when United States and Great Britain, without scientific foundations or empiric evidence, officially stigmatized as “ Nazi science” during the II World War.This ideological piece of nonsense –mainly instrumental– provoked that, from there on, Geopolitics was left aside from the scientific study. In the United States, it was sub placed by force in a geographic branch of Political Geography, leaving it empty, without its contents and original basis, path imitated in many other parts of the world.. However, at the beginning of the Cold War, and the development of globalization integration process, scientific elites coming from different social, political and economical disciplines realized that
the arising phenomenon could not be explained at the margin of geopolitics. However, without daring to contradict the official judgment of the victorious of the II World War, they chose to create a arising geopolitics called “Critical””, which arises as a conflicting analysis of the fundamental principles of traditional geopolitics leaving clear that their demands are completely opposite to the others. This article is for leaving evidence of how substantive or feign are the differences and coincidences among the demands of both geopolitics.La geopolítica ha sido una de las disciplinas integradoras de las diferentes dimensiones de las ciencias geográficas que más ha servido a la política para la toma de decisiones estatales en materia de política exterior e interna. En dicho contexto, su desarrollo, tanto en sus vertientes europea –alemana y británica– así como norteamericana y asiática, tuvo un desarrollo constante y sistematizado hasta 1945 en que los Estados Unidos y Gran
Bretaña, sin fundamentos científicos ni evidencia empírica alguna, la estigmatizaron oficialmente como “ciencia nazi” durante la II Guerra Mundial. Este despropósito ideológico –fundamentalmente instrumental– hizo que, a partir de entonces, la geopolítica fuera marginada del estudio científico. En Estados Unidos se la subsumió forzadamente
en una rama de la geografía, la geografía política, vaciándosela así de sus contenidos y bases originales, camino que fue imitado en muchas otras partes del mundo. No obstante, a poco andar de la Guerra Fría y del desarrollo de los procesos de integración y de globalización, elites científicas provenientes de diversas disciplinas sociales, políticas y
económicas, se dieron cuenta de que los fenómenos emergentes no podían ser explicados al margen de la geopolítica. Sin embargo, sin atreverse a contradecir el dictamen oficial de los vencedores de la II Guerra Mundial, optaron por dar origen a una emergente geopolítica llamada “Crítica”, la cual surge como contestataria de los principios fundamentales de la geopolítica tradicional explicitando que sus postulados son diametralmente opuestos a
los de aquella. Dejar constancia de cuán sustantivas o aparentes son las diferencias
y las coincidencias que hay entre los postulados de ambas geopolíticas, es de lo que trata este artículo
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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 PDFWe 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 PDFWe 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 textWe 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
