Percepción del riesgo, y prácticas asociadas a la Geografía de la salud, sobre la problemática ambiental de arsénico en agua
No full textLa presencia de arsénico (As) en agua ocasiona una Enfermedad Transmitida por el Agua o también conocidas como Enfermedades Transmitidas por Alimentos (ETA). La enfermedad que ocasiona el As en el agua lleva el nombre de Hidroarsenicismo Crónico Regional Endémico (HACRE). Esta enfermedad se manifiesta desde lesiones cutáneas hasta diferentes cánceres y tumores (Alfonso, 2014; Bocanegra et al., 2002; Parianiet al., 2017). La provincia de Buenos Aires presenta un 50% de su superficie afectada por la presencia de As en aguas subterráneas, las cuales son empleadas para consumo humano y animal y para el riego de cultivos (Gaioli, 2014). Esto ocasiona que la problemática se considere un desastre lento, ya que puede afectar a la salud de las personas a partir de la ingesta directa de agua o a partir del uso de la misma en la preparación y acondicionamiento de alimentos (Lampert et al., 2022)Fil: Condolucci, Micaela.

La enseñanza de las enfermedades transmitidas por los alimentos (ETA) desde la geografía de la salud
No full textDurante la época de los noventa, las clases de Geografía en la escuela secundaria de la Provincia de Buenos Aires (Argentina) se centraban en el estudio de los componentes físico-biológicos y las regiones geográficas (Cordero y Svarzman, 2015). En la actualidad, dentro de los diseños curriculares (DC) de la escuela secundaria, se desarrolla una Geografía Social que trata de implementar una mirada de diferentes enfoques en relación con las problemáticas actuales en torno a la política, la economía, el ambiente y la cultura, como dimensiones en la conformación del espacio (DGCyE, 2010 y 2011). En este tipo de Geografía, la alimentación es uno de los temas centrales, ya que juega un papel fundamental en la formación de la ciudadanía (García Pérez, 2015). En Argentina, más específicamente en la Provincia de Buenos Aires, los contenidos de Geografía se presentan desde el primer año hasta el sexto, dependiendo la orientación y la modalidad.Fil: Lampert, Damian Alberto.

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
