“Historias que siguen y siguen”: resiliencia transformadora en contra de violencias de género en Girls Are Coming out of the Woods, de Tishani Doshi
No full textGirls Are Coming out of the Woods (Las chicas salen del bosque), de Tishani Doshi, relata
las violencias de género cometidas contra las mujeres de India y el mundo promoviendo
concienciación, resistencia y subversión contra los sistemas patriarcales basados en variables
económicas, étnicas y de género. Se analiza cómo Doshi promueve una forma de resiliencia
transformadora que garantiza un cambio socio-político en vez de una mera aceptación
y sumisión. Seguidamente, se estudia cómo Doshi describe el miedo y las violencias de
género contra las mujeres permitiendo su testimonio para que tengan más matices que los
de víctimas. Para terminar, se destaca cómo las descripciones de corporalidades plurales
favorecen una interplanetariedad que crea redes de co-resistencia que permiten al mundo
ir hacia delante en vez de contraerse.Tishani Doshi’s Girls Are Coming out of the Woods (2017) details the gender violences inflicted
against women in India and the world to promote consciousness-raising, resistance, and
subversion against interlocking systems of patriarchal power based on economy, ethnicity
and gender. In this paper I firstly propose that Doshi promotes a transformative mode of
resilience that guarantees socio-politic change rather than acceptance and submission.
Secondly, I reflect on how Doshi’s description of the fear and gender violences systemically
inflicted on women unveil counter-stories that exceed the portrayal of women as victims.
Finally, I propose that Doshi’s presentation of resilient bodies embraces the interplanetary
possibilities of creating constellations of co-resistance that allow the world to go forward
instead of leaning back
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
Associations between substance use and teen dating violence perpetration in adolescents
No full textThis study uses a short-term longitudinal design to examine the association between substance use and teen dating violence perpetration over time. This research also examines conflict resolution style to assess for any buffering effects that could occur. The models are analyzed across gender to determine if any differences exist between boys and girls in the sample. These relations are examined using longitudinal data collected at two time points over a period of a year in a diverse (51.2% female, 68.7% Nonwhite, 31.3% White) high school sample of 1,621 adolescents. Multiple regression analyses did yield a significant association between substance use (i.e., alcohol use, binge alcohol use, and addictive drug use reported in the last 30 days) and physical/threatening, verbal, and relational teen dating violence perpetration for both males and females. A Wald chi-square test is posited for these associations to determine if the effects of the various substance use variables on each form of TDV perpetration are significantly different for males and females; data is then examined using multiple group analysis varied by gender. Results show that the effects of alcohol and binge drinking on physical/threatening TDV perpetration are significantly higher for males than females, whereas the effects of addictive substance use on physical/threatening TDV perpetration are significantly higher for females than males. Results also show that the effects of alcohol, binge drinking, and addictive substance use on verbal TDV perpetration are significantly higher for females than for males. Problem solving interaction style was added into the model to test any buffering effects on the relationship between substance use and TDV perpetration. Results indicate that problem solving conflict resolution style did not significantly change the association found between reported substance use and the amount of TDV perpetration reported. The implications of these findings and potential future directions for prevention are discussed.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2019-08-01The student, Namrata Doshi, accepted the attached license on 2017-07-11 at 18:03.The student, Namrata Doshi, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2017-07-11 at 18:22.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2017-07-14 at 09:08.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #11411 on 2018-03-02 at 13:01:35Made available in DSpace on 2018-03-02T19:59:34Z (GMT).

"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
