Curing by doing: la poliomielitis y el surgimiento de la terapia ocupacional en Argentina, 1956-1959
No full textAnaliza la creación de la carrera de terapia ocupacional en Argentina. Privilegiando la construcción histórico social, se recuperan aspectos del proceso de profesionalización estableciendo relaciones entre el contexto provocado por la epidemia de poliomielitis de 1956 y la influencia de las concepciones de género sobre la conformación de la profesión del terapista ocupacional. La llegada al país de esta profesión introdujo la idea de curing by doing , una terapéutica lograda a través del hacer y una forma de atenuar las consecuencias de la crítica epidemia. Finalmente, se sugiere un proceso inacabado de pujas y tensiones que necesita aún superar obstáculos para adquirir la autonomía profesional y el monopolio de la práctica
Poliomyelitis, rehabilitation and other care-related issues: health visitors, nurses and volunteers
No full textThis article explores the rise of a first framework of concepts, actions and social-health related services to give answer to the poliomyelitis paying attention to the relationships between the private philanthropy and the medical corporation, in the Buenos Aires city during the first half of the 20th century. Through the analysis of the various forms of charity and assistance provided by the Charitable Society and the Fight against Infantile Paralysis Association, it seeks o contribute in the rethinking of some aspects of the relationships between charity and assistance, voluntary work and professional work. In addition, it analyzes the role played by health visitors, nurses and volunteers in materializing the different forms of medical assistance and in providing care, physical and emotional welfare to sick children. This article concludes by pointing out the relevant, although less evident, role of health “assistants” and specialized “volunteers”, not only in solving out the health emergency but also as necessary predecessors for the subsequent incorporation of other women to the rehabilitation health field through paid occupations that gradually became professional jobs
La lucha contra la poliomielitis: una alianza médico-social, Buenos Aires, 1943
Full text linkEl presente artículo analiza el surgimiento de una de las organizaciones voluntarias de asistencia social que tuvo una activa participación en la atención sanitaria de la poliomielitis en Argentina: la Asociación para la Lucha contra la Parálisis Infantil. Esta institución fue conformada en la ciudad de Buenos Aires, en 1943, por un grupo de mujeres de sectores sociales altos y medios. En un contexto de incertidumbre biomédica la entidad movilizó recursos materiales y simbólicos para dar respuesta al problema de la rehabilitación de las afecciones físicas permanentes que la enfermedad provocaba en sus víctimas. Utilizando como fuente las memorias institucionales de la organización, se muestra cómo médicos y filántropas constituyeron una alianza médico-social y desarrollaron el interés fundamental de practicar una modalidad de tratamiento –en un contexto donde todo estaba por hacerse- sostenidos en un andamiaje que amalgamaba ideas cristianas con innovaciones de la medicina y la rehabilitación
Philanthropy, rehabilitation and occupational therapy: Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro (1943-1960)
Full text linkEl artículo examina dos asociaciones de carácter filantrópico consideradas "pioneras" en la rehabilitación de discapacidades motrices: la Asociación para la Lucha contra la Parálisis Infantil (ALPI), de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, y la Asociación Brasilera de Beneficencia para la Rehabilitación de Rio de Janeiro (ABBR), entre 1943 y 1960. Se analiza la circulación de ideas, los modelos asistenciales y de gestión adoptados y la relación de estas entidades con la formalización de los primeros cursos regulares de nivel superior de terapia ocupacionalThe article examines two philanthropic associations considered "pioneers" in the rehabilitation of motor disabilities: Asociación para la Lucha contra la Parálisis Infantil (Association for the Fight against Child Paralysis), of Buenos Aires city (ALPI) and Associação Brasileira Beneficente de Reabilitação of Rio de Janeiro city (ABBR) (Brazilian Association of Charities for the Rehabilitation of Rio de Janeiro) (ABBR), between 1943 and 1960. The paper analyzes the circulation of ideas, the care and management models adopted and the relationship of these entities with the formalization of the first regular courses of higher level of occupational therapyFil: Testa, Daniela Edelvis.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
