El ciclo del Trantor, una obra clave en la Ciencia Ficción
No full textLa ciencia ficción ha estado fuertemente influenciada por la tecnología y las ciencias. Sus narraciones parten de ideas científicas para narrar historias sobre sociedades futuras o mundos diferentes al nuestro. Se basan fundamentalmente en los efectos que los cambios producen sobre las personas en particular y sobre la especie humana en general. Sus temas predilectos son el mundo del futuro, los viajes a través del espacio o el tiempo, la vida en otros planetas y las crisis generadas por la tecnología o la presencia de criaturas y entornos extraños.Flacso Ecuador : Flacso Radi
La última tentación
No full textPublicada en 1951 y prohibida por el vaticano en 1954, “La Última Tentación” es un libro de ficción histórica que explora los acontecimientos relacionados con la llegada y la misión del “Mesías Judío”, durante la dominación Romana de Judea hace 20 Siglos. El escritor griego hilvana una versión libre de la vida de Cristo haciendo énfasis en la doble naturaleza de su persona: humana y divina, desde un punto de vista adopcionista. El adopcionismo es una doctrina que afirma que Jesucristo, en cuanto hombre, no era hijo de Dios por naturaleza sino por adopción. Es decir, fue un hombre común y corriente que, en un determinado momento de su vida, fue poseído por la gracia divina que lo condujo a una tarea superior a sus fuerzas.Flacso Ecuador : Flacso Radi
Los Pecados de Inés de Hinojosa
No full text“Los pecados de Inés de Hinojosa” es una novela histórica y erótica del escritor colombiano Próspero Morales Pradilla. La acción se ambienta en las poblaciones de Carora, Pamplona y Tunja, en el Nuevo Reino de Granada en los años 1565 – 1570, actuales territorios de Venezuela, Santander y Boyacá. Pradilla nos sumerge en la época de expansión del Imperio Español en el continente americano, un entorno de post-conquista en donde se configura la administración política, se realiza la conversión religiosa de las poblaciones locales y se ensalza la pureza de la sangre peninsular. Un reordenamiento del caos producido por las matanzas de viruelas y de guerras que diezmaron a las poblaciones originales, por la llegada de los “viracochas” con la cruz y el quijote, por la creación de un nuevo mundo que deje atrás la “idolatraría”, la barbarie y el canibalismo: la América Española.Flacso Ecuador : Flacso Radio
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
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
