Un intento colonizador en el Perú de 1835
No full textIn this article the author presents a valuable document written by General Guillermo Milller about a journey he undertook to the east of Cusco in July 1835. From the author's point of view the document is especially noteworthy not only because of Miller's insights, but also because it reports one of the first attempts to colonize the Peruvian jungle in the early 19th century.En este artículo el autor presenta un valioso documento escrito por el General Guillermo Miller sobre un viaje que éste hiciera, en julio de 1835, al este de Cusco. A juicio del autor el documento tiene un especial valor no sólo por las observaciones que Miller vierte en él, sino también porque contribuye la evidencia de uno de los primeros intentos colonizadores de la selva peruana que se hiciera en el temprano siglo XIX
Santa Cruz y O’Higgins: dos efemérides
No full textThe year ending recalled, among others, two anniversaries: the hundred fiftieth anniversary of the death of Chilean hero Bernardo O'Higgins, and the bicentennial of the birth of Andres de Santa Cruz Calahumana. The author recalls the first, its contribution to the cause of freedom Chilean and Peruvian and nineteen years of his life he spent in exile among us. Of the second, his conviction always meet the former territories of Upper and Lower Peru, trying to restore the old unit that centuries of common life had given them.El año que concluye recordó -entre otras- dos efemérides: el sesquicentenario del fallecimiento del prócer chileno Bernardo O’Higgins, y el bicentenario del nacimiento de Andrés de Santa Cruz Calahumana. El autor recuerda del primero, su contribución a la causa de la libertad chilena y peruana y los diecinueve últimos años de su vida que pasó exiliado entre nosotros. Del segundo, su convicción de siempre por reunir los antiguos territorios del Alto y Bajo Perú, intentando restaurar la vieja unidad que siglos de vida en común les había dado
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
