Limits to the faculties of the disabled older adult support system
No full textIn a society as changing as ours, the achievement of sustainable development in all aspects is at times utopian. However, the efforts to achieve a better quality of life for all the individuals that make it up do not cease. Among them, the protection of the disabled elderly as a subject of rights. In the Introduction of the research, the terms older adult and disability together are discussed in depth. The general objective lies in the analysis of the support system of the disabled older adult. The interview works as an instrument that reveals the true state of vulnerability of the disabled older adult in terms of the support system. Conclusions are reached, such as the need to delimit the powers of the support system of the disabled older adult; once this need is satisfied, their autonomy in decision making is respected.En una sociedad tan cambiante como la cubana, el alcance del desarrollo sostenible en todos los aspectos, a momentos, resulta utópico. Sin embargo, los esfuerzos por lograr una mejor calidad de vida para todos los individuos que la conforman no cesan. Entre ellos, la protección del adulto mayor discapacitado como sujeto de derechos. La investigación profundiza en lo que representan los términos adulto mayor y discapacidad, en conjunto. El objetivo general es el análisis del sistema de apoyos del adulto mayor discapacitado. La entrevista funciona como instrumento revelador del verdadero estado de vulnerabilidad que presenta el adulto mayor discapacitado en cuanto al sistema de apoyos. Se descubre la necesidad de delimitar las facultades del sistema de apoyos del adulto mayor discapacitado, y satisfecha esta necesidad, se respeta entonces la autonomía de aquel en la toma de decisiones
FORMACIÓN DE JURISTAS LIBRES DE ESTEREOTIPOS DE GÉNERO COMO ESTRATEGIA PARA COMBATIR DECISIONES JUDICIALES SESGADAS.
Full text linkEstudios recientes destinados a investigar las razones por las que el Derecho en ocasiones no se manifiesta con total equidad y justicia, llevaron al análisis de los estereotipos, resultado de una visión colectiva, generalmente injustificada, que dividieron a la sociedad en grupos más pequeños y aislados por causas tan sencillas como ser diferentes. El propósito de esta investigación fue el conocimiento de este fenómeno sociológico, específicamente de los estereotipos de género, para así poder combatirlos. El objetivo general fue proponer alternativas para combatir los estereotipos de género en las decisiones judiciales a partir de la formación de los futuros juristas. Dentro de la metodología aplicada en la investigación se utilizaron métodos teóricos para aislar los estereotipos de género de los estereotipos como una tipología especial y así determinar su influencia en las decisiones judiciales. Métodos empíricos para comprender qué tan sesgado se encuentra el pensamiento de los futuros juristas con el uso de la encuesta como instrumento que arrojó como resultado el alto nivel de estereotipos de género existente en la población seleccionada, finalmente se propusieron diversas alternativas para lograr un sistema educativo libre de estereotipos e igualitario. En conclusión, los estereotipos de género han creado juicios en la sociedad llegando a influir en la toma de decisiones judiciales y, por ello surge la necesidad de combatir estos estereotipos, objetivo alcanzable mediante la aplicación de medidas para el logro de una educación superior menos sesgada
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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 linkWe 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 linkWe 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
