    El presente trabajo, trata de analizar el rol del docente en el aula y ver cómo éste actúa frente a las Necesidades Específicas de Apoyo Educativo, en concreto con las personas con Síndrome de Down, en relación al fomento de la autonomía personal de este alumnado. Para ello, se ha revisado parte de la literatura que trata el tema de la discapacidad intelectual y de los factores que la desencadenan, focalizando la búsqueda en artículos relacionados con el síndrome de Down, para tratar de conocer las características, fortalezas, debilidades y necesidades de las personas Down, así como los métodos más efectivos para trabajar con ellos, ya que la propuesta del presente trabajado va dirigida a ese colectivo. A continuación, se ha desarrollado una propuesta educativa centrada en dotar a los docentes de estrategias para implementar acciones dirigidas al fomento de la autonomía del alumnado con Síndrome de Down, con el fin de que puedan implantarla en el aula en un futuro. Es decir, esta propuesta trata de fomentar la autonomía de los escolares con Síndrome de Down para que puedan valerse por sí mismos y conseguir un óptimo grado de independencia. Para ello, se proponen acciones relacionadas con el cuidado personal, las habilidades sociales, el autoconocimiento, la participación activa en el aprendizaje y la organización y gestión de tareas. Gracias a este trabajo y, a partir de análisis de las necesidades de los estudiantes con Síndrome de Down,se ha tratado de crear un material que tenga en consideración la integración de este colectivo en la sociedad y se les ofrezcan las oportunidades de autonomía que merecen.El present treball tracta d'analitzar el rol del docent a l'aula i com aquest actua enfront de les Necessitats Específiques de Suport Educatiu, en concret amb les persones amb Síndrome de Down, en relació al foment de l'autonomia d'aquest alumnat. Per a això, s'ha revisat part de la literatura que tracta el tema de la discapacitat intel·lectual i dels factors que la desencadenen, focalitzant la cerca en articles relacionats amb la síndrome de Down, per a tractar de conéixer les característiques, fortaleses, febleses i necessitats de les persones Down, així com els mètodes més efectius per a treballar amb ells, ja que la proposta del present treballat va dirigida a aqueix col·lectiu. A continuació, s'ha desenvolupat una proposta educativa centrada en dotar als docents d'estratègies per a implementar accions dirigides al foment de l'autonomia de l'alumnat amb Síndrome de Down, amb la finalitat que puguen implantar-la a l'aula en un futur. És a dir, aquesta proposta tracta de fomentar l'autonomia dels escolars amb Síndrome de Down perquè puguen valdre's per si mateixos i aconseguir un òptim grau d'independència. Per a això, es proposen accions relacionades amb la cura personal, les habilitats socials, l'autoconeixement, la participació activa en l'aprenentatge i l'organització i gestió de tasques. Gràcies a aquest treball i, a partir d'anàlisi de les necessitats dels estudiants amb Síndrome de Down, s'ha tractat de crear un material que tinga en consideració la integració d'aquest col·lectiu en la societat i se'ls oferisquen les oportunitats d'autonomia que mereixen.The present work tries to analyze the role of the teacher in the classroom and how he/she acts in front of the Specific Educational Support Needs, specifically with people with Down Syndrome, in relation to the promotion of the autonomy of these students. For this purpose, part of the literature dealing with intellectual disability and the factors that trigger it has been reviewed, focusing the search on articles related to Down syndrome, to try to know the characteristics, strengths, weaknesses and needs of Down people, as well as the most effective methods to work with them, since the proposal of the present work is aimed at this group. Next, we have developed an educational proposal focused on providing teachers with strategies to implement actions aimed at promoting the autonomy of students with Down syndrome, so that they can implement it in the classroom in the future. In other words, this proposal seeks to promote the autonomy of schoolchildren with Down syndrome so that they can fend for themselves and achieve an optimal degree of independence. To this end, actions related to personal care, social skills, self-knowledge, active participation in learning and the organization and management of tasks are proposed. Thanks to this work and combased on the analysis of the needs of students with Down Syndrome, we have tried to create a material that takes into consideration the integration of this group in society and offers them the opportunities for autonomy they deserve.Educació

    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

    Get PDF
    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

    Get PDF
    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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    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

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In 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.
