Las flechas ɨ’ɨrí. Un artefacto de resistencia y defensa del territorio náayeri, México
Get PDFThe objective of this article is to show the subjectivity and importance of the personal arrows called ɨ’ɨrí within the Náayeri thought. This type of arrow can be considered as artifacts that have subjectivity. Subjectivity understood as the ability that some objects have to become subjects or to acquire components of people, as well as the communication capacity that turns objects into social beings and to truly engage with human beings because they have will, agency and conscience. The inhabitants of the Náayeri territory sustain that without them they could not live, because they would get sick and die. Tracking the life of these artifacts reflects that the arrows work as markers of time and space or, even more, as elements of resistance they use to protect their region against megaprojects and as a shield against the organized crime that exists in the region. One of the contexts in which this artifact is immersed is a ceremony known by the inhabitants of the town of Santa Teresa as Mitote, an agricultural event dedicated to the cultivation of corn (yúurij). El objetivo del presente artículo es mostrar la subjetividad e importancia de las flechas personales denominadas ɨ’ɨrí dentro del pensamiento náayeri. Este tipo de flecha se puede considerar como un artefacto que posee subjetividad, la cual puede entenderse como aquellas cosas que tienden a ser sujetos o adquieren componentes de las personas y como la capacidad de comunicación que convierte a las cosas en seres sociales y de involucrarse en verdad con los seres humanos, porque poseen intencionalidad, agencia y conciencia. Sin ellas, como lo mencionan los habitantes, “no podrían vivir”, debido a que se enfermarían y morirían. Siguiendo la vida del artefacto, las flechas funcionan como marcadores de tiempo y espacio o, más aún, como elementos de resistencia y protección de su región frente a los megaproyectos, así como del crimen organizado que se vive en la región. Uno de los contextos en el que se encuentra inmerso este artefacto corresponde a una ceremonia denominada por los habitantes del pueblo de Santa Teresa como mitote, una ceremonia agrícola dedicada al cultivo del maíz (yúurij)
El componer del cuerpo náayeri
No full textEl capítulo "El componer del cuerpo náayeri" de Frine Castillo Badillo explora la construcción del cuerpo humano dentro del contexto cultural de los coras o náayeri en Santa Teresa, Nayarit. A través de un enfoque antropológico, el autor argumenta que el cuerpo no debe ser entendido como un ente biológico dado, sino como una entidad en constante proceso de "composición" a través de rituales específicos, como el mitote. Estos rituales, que incluyen ceremonias dedicadas al cultivo del maíz y a la protección de los infantes, establecen la conexión del individuo con sus ancestros, el territorio y las relaciones de parentesco. La "composición" del cuerpo es esencial para mantener la salud y evitar el "descomponerse", lo que enfatiza la interrelación entre el individuo, la comunidad y el entorno en la cultura coraUniversidad Nacional Autónoma de México.

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
