China’s Stances toward International Norms Viewed through the Belt and Road Initiative
No full textThe development of China, its increasing international influence, and the shift from a low foreign policy profile to a more proactive, assertive, and coercive one have renewed the debate on China’s stance toward international norms. This chapter introduces the book’s approach to analyzing China’s relationship to international norms and the extent to which the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) affects norm conformity behavior. Existing paradigms suggest that international norms and standards influence how states behave in the international arena and that states try to influence those norms and standards according to their interests and values. Building on existing literature that analyzes states’ relationship with international norms, the chapter presents a conceptual framework with five categories (cooperation, compliance, qualification, infraction, and subversion) that broadens binary models of compliance versus non-compliance. The analysis is also: diachronic, to capture the variations of China’s level of compliance and influence on international norms; qualitative, to address the complexity of international regimes, state’s interactions with them, and subsequent endogeneity issues; multi-level, taking into consideration the role of sub-state Chinese stakeholders; and cross-sectorial, through seven case studies that address some of the key issues on the international agenda. It gathers empirical evidence from the BRI, highlighting its economic, strategic, and normative implications. This conceptual framework allows for complex and nuanced analyses, which acknowledge that a state’s relationship with international norms is dynamic and varies depending on the regime studied.</p
Propuesta de mejora y oportunidades para el seguimiento y la evaluación de la efectividad del eco-régimen de agroecología ‘Espacios de Biodiversidad’ y de las medidas del Plan de Desarrollo Rural (PDR) en el marco del Plan Estratégico de la Política Agraria Común (PAC) en España
No full textConvenio entre el Ministerio de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación y la Agencia Estatal Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas M.P. para el seguimiento y evaluación con base científica del Plan Estratégico de la Política Agrícola Común 2023-2027 de España. «Boletín Oficial del Estado» el 12 de noviembre de 2022.[EN] The main objective of this document is to identify and systematise improvements, lessons learnt and opportunities to enhance the monitoring and evaluation of the agroecology eco-scheme “Biodiversity Spaces” and RDP measures within Spain’s CAP Strategic Plan (PEPAC). It consolidates the MAPA–CSIC–SEO/BirdLife collaboration and completes the standardisation of SACRE for common farmland birds and threatened species. In addition, it diagnoses technical limitations (missing/overlapping geometries, miscoded regions, lack of crop and yield data) and proposes operational solutions (a dedicated GIS technical focal point, layer harmonisation, and relational software supported by the MOMENTUM doctoral contract). Taken together, the protocol strengthens data quality and coordination, expedites future annual assessments, and informs decision-making towards an environmentally sustainable and socially just CAP. [EN][ES] El objetivo principal de este documento es identificar y sistematizar mejoras, aprendizajes y oportunidades para perfeccionar el seguimiento y la evaluación del eco-régimen de agroecología “Espacios de Biodiversidad” y de las medidas del PDR dentro del PEPAC en España. Este documento consolida la colaboración MAPA–CSIC–SEO/BirdLife, completa la estandarización de SACRE para aves comunes y especies amenazadas. Además, diagnostica limitaciones técnicas (geometrías ausentes/solapadas, desajustes de códigos, falta de cultivos y rendimientos) y propone soluciones operativas (punto técnico GIS, armonización de capas, software relacional apoyado por el contrato predoctoral MOMENTUM). En conjunto, el protocolo fortalece la calidad y coordinación de los datos, acelera futuras evaluaciones anuales y orienta la toma de decisiones para una PAC ambientalmente sostenible y socialmente justa.

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
Sistema de gestión de la calidad
Get PDFPara brindar servicios de calidad no sólo es necesario hacer foco en los clientes externos de la organización, sino también en los internos: los miembros. En el presente trabajo se detalla una guía para desarrollar un Sistema de Gestión de la Calidad aplicado a la metodología de trabajo y misión particular de Vínculos Consultoría Empresarial, Empresa Junior de la Facultad de Ciencias Económicas de la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo. Su alcance es determinado por el proceso de gestión de miembros que lleva a cabo RRHH: Reclutamiento, Selección, Inducción, Seguimiento y Evaluación. La guía cumple con los estándares definidos en la Norma Internacional ISO 9001:2015 para la gestión eficaz de la calidad en los procesos de las organizaciones. A partir de un diagnóstico realizado a dicha Empresa Junior, se han sugerido herramientas y mejoras en los procesos de RRHH de manera que se ajusten a los requisitos que esta determina. Dada la correcta implementación del Sistema de Gestión de la Calidad se logrará:
● proporcionar regularmente productos y servicios que satisfagan los requisitos del cliente y los legales y reglamentarios aplicables;
● facilitar oportunidades de aumentar la satisfacción del cliente;
● abordar los riesgos y oportunidades asociadas con su contexto y objetivos.
● aprender a gestionar la calidad.
● complementar la formación profesional brindada por la facultad.
● elevar el estatus de la FCE al contar con una EJ que aplique los estándares ISO.
● mejorar la imagen de la organización frente a la comunidad emprendedora, estudiantil y la sociedad en general.Fil: Aguilar, Esteban Mario. Universidad Nacional de Cuyo. Facultad de Ciencias Económicas
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
Protocolo para la evaluación de la efectividad del eco-régimen de agroecología ‘Espacios de Biodiversidad’ y de las medidas del Plan de Desarrollo Rural (PDR) del Plan Estratégico de la Política Agraria Común (PAC) en España sobre la conservación de aves esteparias amenazadas mediante seguimiento GPS
