La buena educacion: Public Education, Nation, and Literature in Argentina (1884-1929)
No full text210 pg.This dissertation examines the interconnections between the creation and expansion of the public educational system, and the concomitant development of the modern nation in turn of the century Argentina. It explores the fictional representation of schools and teachers as metaphors for the nation and its citizens by analyzing the literary works of three representative authors who were also linked to the administration of the system: Miguel Can??, Manuel G? lvez, and Herminia Brumana. In addition, the influences and ideas that shaped the modern conception of citizenship in relation to the right to access a formal education are analyzed. This study looks at both the reactions of the established elite towards immigrant women who acquired a higher status through public education, and the ways in which these new groups strategically maneuvered their ways into the Argentine literary scene. The introductory chapter surveys the conception and expansion of the formal educational system in Argentina. I look at the pivotal role of Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, and the connections between public education and the needs of both a liberal democracy and liberal economy. The second chapter focuses on Miguel Can??'s Juvenilia, a collection of vignettes centered on the narrator's experiences at Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires. I argue that Cane's privileged position as an intellectual of the Generaci??n del 80 permeates his conception of the pedagogical relationships within the fictional classroom. The school is a metaphor for a nation struggling for leaving its barbaric past behind in order to legitimately enter Modernity by receiving a French oriented education. The third chapter provides an analysis of the role of the female teacher through the reading of La maestra normal by Manuel G? lvez. This text presents a critique of the non-religious education supported by the previous Generation, and the negative impact of the working woman. The novel is an expression of the anxieties about the changing society as a result of immigration and Modernity. In the last chapter, I examine the impact of the expansion of public education on female participation in the production and consumption of literary texts through an analysis of Herminia Brumana's literary production.Advisor(s): Firbas, Paul ; de la Campa, Roman.

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

Get PDFThis article examines Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa’s texts on the Magellan region, the formation of specific geographic knowledge, his methods of operation and rhetoric, as well as his critical understanding of the process of mundialization and the place of the Spanish language at the end of the sixteenth century. Textual analysis focuses on the Relación of the irst voyage to the Strait of Magellan, written by Sarmiento in 1580, and on a sonnet of the same author, published in Madrid in 1591, by the end of his life. It also analyzes the reception and usage of Sarmiento’s Relación in Bartolomé Leonardo de Argensola’s Historia de las Islas Malucas (1609) and Bernardo Iriarte’s Viaje al Estrecho de Magallanes (1768).Este artículo estudia los textos de Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa sobre la región magallánica y la formación de un conocimiento geográico especíico, sus métodos de operación y su retórica, así como su entendimiento crítico de la mundialización y del lugar de la lengua castellana a inales del siglo XVI. El análisis textual se concentra en la Relación del primer viaje al Estrecho de Magallanes, escrita por Sarmiento en 1580, y en un soneto del mismo autor publicado al inal de su vida, en Madrid en 1591; así como en la recepción de dicha relación y su uso en los impresos de Bartolomé Leonardo de Argensola (Historia de las Islas Malucas, 1609) y Bernardo Iriarte (Viaje al Estrecho de Magallanes, 1768)
