    이 논문은 원래 Latin American Perspectives(January 2010, Vol. 37, No.1)에 Hugo Chávezs First Decade in Office: Breakthroughs and Shortcomings란 제목으로 게재되었다. 아래 사이트에서 원문을 볼 수 있다. http://venezuelanalysis.com/analysis/5301.우고 차베스(Hugo Chávez) 대통령은 이미 십년을 집권하였고, 또 다른 십년을 막 시작하고 있다. 보다 책임 있는 정부가 되도록 하기 위해, 지금까지의 정부 업적을 평가해야 할 필요성이 있다는 주장은 갈수록 설득력을 얻고 있다. 차베스 정부 실적에 대한 잘잘못의 평가는 차베스주의 반대자들이나 지지자들 모두의 관심사이다. 특히, 베네수엘라 경제의 석유지대추구 의존론, 즉 베네수엘라 경제사회는 완전히 석유에 의존하고 있으며, 지대추구에 여전히 토대를 두고 있다는 주장이 주요 관심사이다(López Maya, 2008: 7; Coronil, 2008; Kelly and Palma, 2004: 229-230; Lombardi, 2003: 5-6). 이 주장의 논리에 따르면, 베네수엘라 경제발전은 석유가격 상승에 의한 것으로, 만약 국제 석유가격이 크게 하락하면, 지난 10년간의 모든 개선은 하루아침에 사라질 수 있다는 것이다. 본 논문은 이 명제를 점검하기 위해 어떠한 성과가 있었는지 평가하려 한다. 특히, 이 논문은 온정주의와 빈곤층에 대한 보조금이 차베스 정부정책의 길잡이였는지, 아니면 베네수엘라 경제의 구조적 변화를 가져올 만큼 근본적 변화를 일으켰는지를 검토하겠다. 좌파정부가 집권한 지 얼마 되지 않은 볼리비아와 에콰도르에서와는 달리, 차베스 정부의 10년은 강점과 약점을 파악하는데 충분할 것이란 전제에서 이 논문은 출발하였다

    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

    Explicaciones para la crisis actual en Venezuela

    Five explanations have been proposed from different political standpoints to explain the root cause of the “humanitarian crisis” in Venezuela: 1.- the unrelenting hostility of internal and external adversaries, leading to international sanctions and threats of military action; 2.- the plummeting of international oil prices, aggravated by the government’s failure to diversify production and sever dependency on petroleum; 3.- mistaken policies that discouraged private investments; 4.- the mismanagement and incompetence of the Maduro government; and 5.- socialism’s inherent contradictions and unsustainability. In this essay, the author examines each explanation and argues that in order to explain the crisis in Venezuela it is necessary to understand the interrelation and context of the four initial explanations. As they are complementary to each other.Son cinco los discursos que pretenden explicar, desde distintas posiciones políticas, la causa fundamental de la “crisis humanitaria” en Venezuela: 1.- la hostilidad implacable de adversarios internos y externos que culminó en sanciones internacionales y amenazas de una acción militar; 2.- el desplome de los precios internacionales petroleros agravado por la inhabilidad del gobierno de diversificar la producción y romper con la dependencia de ese producto; 3.- políticas equivocadas que desalientan las inversiones privadas; 4.- el mal manejo e incompetencia del gobierno de Maduro; y 5.- las contradicciones e insostenibilidad inherentes al socialismo. En este ensayo, el autor examina cada uno de ellos y concluye que, para entender las causas de la crisis venezolana, es imperativo comprender los primeros cuatro discursos de manera interrelacionada y contextualizada, pues las considera complementarias

    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

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    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
