La Tabula plena que cambia: Valle Central de Chile a través de Talca y sus muchos pequeños cambios significativos
No full textEn un mundo en constantes transformaciones, donde las geografías urbanas adoptan nuevas morfologías, áreas urbanas, edificios y espacios abiertos atraviesan ciclos de alta y baja utilización durante los cuales existen momentos de transición, incertidumbre e inmovilidad. Factores como desastres naturales, cambios económicos o políticos pueden llevar al entorno construido a un estado de incerteza entre viejo y posible nuevo destino. Este fenómeno ha llevado a los diversos actores, a repensar y muchas veces reactivar este tipo de espacios a diversas escalas, dando lugar a transformaciones al interior de la ciudad ya construida a partir de procesos de reconstrucción sobre sí misma como principio genérico. Ello desde diversas prácticas compuestos por el prefijo re –que desde variados puntos de ingreso– buscan construir la ciudad desde la tabula plena, en lugar de la tabula rasa, planteando el futuro a partir de la reutilización de las huellas anteriores, reactivando e iniciando nuevos ciclos al interior del palimpsesto.
En este contexto general, la tesis de doctorado La Tabula plena que cambia: Valle Central de Chile a través de Talca y sus muchos pequeños cambios significativos explora como este fenómeno –predomínate en ciudades del norte global, mayoritariamente imposibilitadas de seguir creciendo– se manifiesta en el Valle Central de Chile. Una región geográfica que debido a recurrentes terremotos, genera, acelera e impulsa las condiciones para una constante transformación de su tejido urbano consolidado, posicionándola como un área particular y fértil, a nivel mundial, para estudiar el fenómeno. Ello desde un contexto donde expansión y transformaciones en la ciudad ya construida suceden simultáneamente.
La investigación parte de la hipótesis heurística de que muchos pequeños cambios significativos, ocurridos en la tabula plena, en su conjunto están radicalmente transformando las ciudades del Valle central de Chile. Para examinar esto, se analiza el caso de Talca entre 2008-2024, indagando cómo los numerosos términos urbanísticos iniciados con el prefijo re, empíricamente han modificado la ciudad. Ello a fin de indagar ¿Cómo se manifiestan las transformaciones ocurridas en la tabula plena de la ciudad en Valle Central de Chile?, ¿Qué revelan estos cambios sobre las dinámicas urbanas en la ciudad ya construida? ¿Es necesaria una comprensión integral del fenómeno?
Los hallazgos se presentan en una tesis estructurada en cuatro capítulos, que, tras exponer las transformaciones, se adentra en la necesidad de generar una denominación capaz de generar un cuadro de comprensión integral del fenómeno, útil para iniciar una instrumentalización efectiva que ayude a los distintos actores a dialogar pos de construir un proyecto urbano –explicito o implícito– en resonancia con la posibilidad de concebir la ciudad, el espacio urbano y sus componentes como recursos renovables.In a world of constant transformations, where urban geographies adopt new morphologies, urban areas, buildings, and open spaces go through cycles of high and low utilization, within which moments of transition, uncertainty, and immobility emerge. Factors such as natural disasters, economic shifts, or political changes can bring the built environment into a state of uncertainty—caught between an old and a potential new destiny. This phenomenon has led various actors to rethink—and often reactivate—these types of spaces at multiple scales, resulting in transformations within the already-built city through processes of reconstruction upon itself as a generic principle. These processes are articulated through various practices formed around the prefix re—which, from multiple entry points—seek to build the city from the tabula plena rather than the tabula rasa, projecting the future through the reuse of previous traces, reactivating and initiating new cycles within the palimpsest.
In this broader context, the doctoral research The Changing Tabula Plena: Chile’s Central Valley through Talca and Its Many Small Significant Changes explores how this phenomenon—predominant in cities of the Global North, where further expansion is often no longer possible—manifests in Chile’s Central Valley. A geographic region that, due to recurrent earthquakes, generates, accelerates, and fosters the conditions for the constant transformation of its consolidated urban fabric, positioning it as a particularly fertile ground, on a global scale, for studying this phenomenon. All of this occurs within a context where expansion and transformation of the already-built city happen simultaneously.
The research is based on the heuristic hypothesis that many small significant changes, occurring within the tabula plena, are collectively and radically transforming the cities of Chile’s Central Valley. To examine this, the case of Talca between 2008 and 2024 is analyzed, investigating how numerous urban planning concepts prefixed by re- have empirically modified the city. This leads to key research questions: How are the transformations of the tabula plena manifesting in the cities of Chile’s Central Valley? What do these changes reveal about urban dynamics within the already-built city? And is a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon necessary?
The findings are presented in a thesis structured in four chapters which, after laying out the transformations, delve into the need to establish a denomination capable of offering an integrated conceptual framework of the phenomenon—one that can initiate effective tools to help various actors engage in dialogue toward building an urban project—explicit or implicit—that resonates with the possibility of conceiving the city, the urban space, and its components as renewable resources
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
