    Simulation as a learning strategy has been used since ancient times. The simulated practices consist of the experimentation of a model that imitates certain aspects of reality, which allows working in artificially conditioned environments, simulating the real thing, but with controlled variables. For its part, the term strategy, from Latin, means art of directing military operations or art to direct a matter. By linking this concept with the field of education, we find the pyramid model, which establishes “know-how” skills that are highly significant for the practice of clinical simulation, since they encourage student participation in learning processes. And, in addition, highlight the role of the environment. Thus, simulated practices, due to their proximity to real situations, constitute an effective resource for meaningful learning. The characteristic advantages of this methodology, added to the current conditions as soon as the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted lines such as health, education, society, among others; affectations that limit the learning of those who study in the area of health, of those who prepare to face situations that at every step put their lives at risk, such as future nursing professionals; a situation that also restricts the actions of those of us who facilitate this learning, all this makes it essential to adopt a learning strategy that ensures the continuity of the teaching process in conditions similar to those of the hospital environment. Faced with this reality, for those of us who are in charge of training those personnel who fight in the front line for the recovery of patients' health, simulating.La simulación como estrategia de aprendizaje ha sido utilizada desde tiempos remotos. Las prácticas simuladas consisten en la experimentación de un modelo que imita determinados aspectos de la realidad, lo cual permite trabajar en entornos condicionados artificialmente, simulares a lo real, pero con variables controladas. Por su parte, el término estrategia, procedente del latín, significa arte de dirigir las operaciones militares o arte para dirigir un asunto. Al vincular este concepto con el campo de la educación, nos encontramos con el modelo pirámide, el cual establece competencias de “saber hacer” que resultan altamente significativas para la práctica de simulación clínica, ya que propician la participación del estudiante en los procesos de aprendizaje y, además, destacan el protagonismo del entorno. Así, pues, las prácticas simuladas por su cercanía a situaciones reales constituyen un efectivo recurso para un aprendizaje significativo. Las ventajas características de esta metodología, sumadas a las condiciones actuales en cuanto la pandemia del COVID 19 ha trastocado renglones como la salud, la educación, la sociedad, entre otros; afectaciones que limitan el aprendizaje de quienes realizan estudios en el área de la salud, de quienes se preparan para enfrentar situaciones que a cada paso ponen en riesgo su vida, como los futuros profesionales de enfermería; situación que también restringe el accionar de quienes facilitamos ese aprendizaje, todo esto hace imprescindible la adopción de estrategia de aprendizaje que aseguren la continuidad del proceso de enseñanza en condiciones semejantes a las del entorno hospitalario. Ante esta realidad, para quienes estamos a cargo de la formación de ese personal que lucha en primera línea a la recuperación de la salud de los pacientes, las prácticas de simulación constituyen una estrategia de enseñanza, además de efectiva, ideal porque coloca al estudiante en un plano que contribuirá a darle confianza y, seguridad en sí mismo, al desarrollo del pensamiento crítico y consecuentemente a la adopción de decisiones acertadas

    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

    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
