Existential Concerns and Socio-Emotional Distress. Understanding Post-Pandemic Challenges
No full textLa situación pospandémica ha profundizado en los problemas de salud mental y bienestar emocional en la sociedad española. Este artículo analiza la encuesta 3298 del Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas (CIS) para comprender la incidencia de estas problemáticas, partiendo de una distinción conceptual entre sentimientos existenciales y malestares socioemocionales. Se fundamenta dicha distinción mediante la revisión bibliográfica de investigaciones sobre preocupaciones existenciales en los últimos cinco años, contribuyendo a una síntesis de diferentes aportaciones europeas. Se establece un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales que indaga en la estructura de relaciones entre las dos dimensiones y su relación con factores sociodemográficos. Los resultados indican que jóvenes, mujeres y personas con menor nivel formativo sufren un mayor impacto en problemas existenciales, así como la forma en que estos inciden en la manifestación de malestares socioemocionales.The post-pandemic landscape has seen a worsening of mental health and emotional well-being issues in Spanish society. This article analyses data from Survey 3298 conducted by the Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas (CIS) (Sociological Research Centre) to assess the impact that the pandemic has had on these issues, starting from a differentiation between the concepts of existential feelings and socio-emotional distress. This differentiation has been informed by a literature review on existential concerns, which synthesises diverse European research contributions from the past five years. A structural equation model was developed to investigate the structure of the relationship between these two dimensions and their links to socio-demographic factors. The results indicate that there has been a greater impact on young people, women and individuals with lower education levels in terms of existential issues, and show how these issues have contributed to socio-emotional distress.Depto. de Sociología AplicadaInstituto Complutense de Sociología para el Estudio de las Transformaciones Sociales Contemporáneas (TRANSOC)TRUEpu
Socio-existential problems derived from the prolongation of the youth in a precarity context
No full textEn el presente artículo se revisa el alargamiento de la juventud que afrontan numerosos jóvenes en la actualidad, para comprender cómo entienden los jóvenes españoles las diferentes problemáticas derivadas de ella, y sus consecuencias socio-existenciales. Se parte del análisis de diecinueve entrevistas y tres grupos de discusión realizadas durante 2018 y 2019 a jóvenes españoles de entre 25 y 35 años en situación de precariedad. Los resultados apuntan a una comprensión generalizada de los problemas sociales desde una óptica de la individualización, junto a una normalización de la precariedad laboral en sus narraciones. Se profundiza en el presentismo desplegado ante el sentimiento de estar atrapados en presentes intransitables. Se analizan cómo las biografías de los jóvenes experimentan desfases temporales debido a sus dificultades para dar respuesta a los eventos transicionales. Por último, se incide en el papel de los soportes como amortiguadores cotidianos de los problemas de la precariedad.This article reviews the phenomenon of youth prolongation currently faced by numerous
young people, in order to realize how the problems derived from this are understood
by Spanish youngsters, and its socio-existential aftermaths. To reach so, this paper
analyzes nineteen personal interviews and three discussion groups carried out during
2018 and 2019, to Spanish youngsters from ages 25 to 35 in a precarious situation. The
results aim at a widespread understanding of social problems from an individualization
viewpoint, alongside a normalization of labor precarity in their narratives. The discussion
presented here examines the present attitudes displayed by young individuals due to their
sense of being trapped in impassable presents. We examine the temporary mismatches
experimented by the youngsters in their biographies, caused by difficulties to handle their
transitional events. Finally, we stress the role of supports as everyday shock-absorbers of
precarity-related problemsDepto. de Sociología AplicadaFac. de Ciencias Políticas y SociologíaTRUEpu
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
Jóvenes en barrios vulnerables. Experiencias y soportes urbanos
No full textEste capítulo, “Jóvenes en barrios vulnerables. Experiencias y soportes urbanos” analiza la situación de las personas jóvenes en los barrios vulnerables de Madrid estudiados en el Proyecto COMURES “Comunidades resilientes. Arraigo local y redes sociales en la ciudad global. El caso de Madrid desde un enfoque comparado”, desarrollado entre e/1/1/2020 y el 30/04/2023, financiado por la Comunidad de Madrid y el Fondo Social Europeo (Programa H2019/HUM-5738) y dirigido por Margarita Barañano Cid. Los barrios objeto de atención pertenecen a diferentes distritos de la capital madrileña: Entrevías y Palomeras Sureste en el distrito de Puente de Vallecas; Moscardó en Usera; San Isidro en Carabanchel; Bellas Vistas en Tetuán y Embajadores/Lavapiés en el distrito de Centro.
Para dicho análisis, en primer lugar, se ofrece una panorámica sobre la situación de los/as jóvenes tanto en España como más específicamente en la Comunidad de Madrid, prestando atención a su relación con el mercado de trabajo y las políticas públicas características de los países del sur de Europa, de crucial relevancia para dar cuenta de los niveles de emancipación juvenil. Esa panorámica concluye mostrando el carácter vulnerable de los barrios estudiados a partir de diversos indicadores. En segundo lugar, se profundiza en la situación específica de las personas jóvenes en los barrios vulnerables, indagando tanto en sus experiencias de movilidad residencial y expulsión, como en algunas experiencias de vulnerabilidad socio-existencial vividas en estos barrios y agravadas por la pandemia. Por último, se analiza cómo el barrio se constituye para muchas personas jóvenes en un soporte socio-existencial y de qué modo los soportes urbanos, que nacen de la vida en el barrio, son movilizados como amortiguadores en situaciones de crisis, deteniéndonos para ello en el periodo de la pandemia.Comunidad de MadridEuropean CommissionDepto. de Sociología AplicadaFac. de Ciencias Políticas y SociologíaInstituto Complutense de Sociología para el Estudio de las Transformaciones Sociales Contemporáneas (TRANSOC)TRUEpu
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
