New ruralism, tourism and family production en Tigre’s delta (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
Full text linkEl objetivo del artículo es introducir un análisis conceptual de los actores más relevantes de una investigación en curso sobre las tensiones en torno al desarrollo turístico en el Delta de Tigre, territorio de islas contiguo al Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Se toma como referente empírico a una asociación de productores isleños que en 2019 se unieron en pos de solicitar al Estado Municipal una serie de elementos para mejorar sus condiciones de producción y comercialización y recuperar el perfil productivo del territorio. Propongo analizar el modo en que, en el marco de transformaciones globales asociadas al capitalismo tardío, esta asociación elabora estrategias para convertir a sus miembros en beneficiarios de políticas públicas de desarrollo regional.e aim of this article is to introduce a conceptual analysis of the most relevant actors within an ongoing research regarding the tensions surrounding tourist development in Tigre’s Delta, and island territory neighboring Buenos Aires, Argentina’s largest metropolitan area. e chosen empirical reference is an islander producers’ association, formed in 2019 in order to demand aids from the local City Hall for the improvement of their production and commercialization condition and also to recover the region’s productive profile. I intend to analyze the ways in which, the context of late capitalism global transformations, this association develops strategies to help its members in becoming beneficiaries of public policies of territorial development.Fil: Halpin, Matías Gabriel.

Soberanía Alimentaria en el Humedal: experiencias y reflexiones navegantes
No full textEl delta del río Paraná está conformado por distintas ecorregiones (en su tramo superior, medio e inferior) con características particulares respecto de las condiciones biofísicas e hidrológicas y de los modos de vida de sus pobladores. A fines del siglo XX, estos humedales comenzaron a ser reconocidos a nivel mundial como ecosistemas prioritarios que deben ser conservados debido a que proveen importantes servicios ecosistémicos a la humanidad. No obstante, poco se conoce acerca de las formas de vida de la población isleño-ribereña y de sus puntos de vista ante las nuevas regulaciones que afectan su habitar cotidiano.En este libro se ofrece una selección de trabajos de investigación cuyos resultados no solo dan cuenta de la variedad de conflictos y realidades emergentes en el territorio deltaico del río Paraná, sino también de los enfoques y perspectivas desarrollados desde las ciencias sociales para su comprensión e interpretación.Fil: Astelarra, Sofía.

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
Processo de turistificação e órgãos participativos no Delta do Tigre (Argentina)
Full text linkThis article analyses the emergence of an advisory body for community participation, the Permanent Island Advisory Council (Spanish acronym: CAPI) in Delta del Tigre (province of Buenos Aires, Argentina). This organisation aims to intervene in the elaboration and definition of public policies for the region in the context of tourism and real estate development on the islands. The analysis begins with a contextualization of the region’s touristification process and the conflicts associated to it. Next, the main groups that constitute the CAPI are described, with their different organisational logics and dissimilar strategies of engagement with State institutions. Likewise, the changing responses from the Municipal State to the islanders’ problems and demands are reviewed. The employed methodology was ethnographic fieldwork with participant observation and in-depth interviews from 2017 to the present. As a result, it is highlighted that CAPI’s participatory (non-representative) and consultative (non-resolutive) condition is the product of the synthesis between its main groups dissimilar logics and the Municipal State needs to institutionalize conflict resolution. To conclude, the importance of addressing the ways in which participatory public policies are redefined in the very process of their implementation is emphasized.Este artículo analiza el surgimiento de un organismo consultivo de participación comunitaria, el Consejo Asesor Permanente Isleño (CAPI) en el Delta de Tigre, (Buenos Aires, Argentina). Dicho organismo, pretende intervenir en la elaboración y definición de políticas públicas para la región, en el marco del avance turístico-inmobiliario en las islas. El análisis inicia con una contextualización del proceso de turistificación de la región y de los conflictos asociados a la misma. Luego, se describen los principales colectivos que integran el CAPI, con sus respectivas lógicas organizativas y estrategias de vinculación con las instituciones estatales. Asimismo, se reseñan las cambiantes respuestas del Estado Municipal frente a las problemáticas y demandas isleñas. Metodológicamente se realizó un trabajo de campo etnográfico con observación participante y entrevistas en profundidad, desde 2017 a la actualidad. Como resultado, se destaca que el carácter participativo (no representativo) y consultivo (no resolutivo) del CAPI es producto de la síntesis entre las lógicas disímiles de los principales colectivos que lo integran, y de las necesidades del Estado Municipal de canalizar la resolución de conflictos. En conclusión, se resalta la importancia de abordar las formas en que las políticas públicas participativas se redefinen en el proceso mismo de su aplicación.O artigo analisa a emergência de um órgão consultivo para a participação comunitária, o Conselho Assessor Permanente Islenho (CAPI) no Delta do Tigre (província de Buenos Aires, Argentina), que pretende intervir na elaboração e definição de políticas públicas para a região, no âmbito de desenvolvimento turístico-imobiliário nas ilhas. A análise inclui, em primeiro lugar, uma contextualização do processo turístico da região e os conflitos a ela associados. A seguir, descreve-se os principais grupos que compõem a CAPI, com suas respectivas lógicas organizacionais e diferentes estratégias de vinculação com as instituições do Estado. Da mesma forma, revisa-se/verifica-se as mudanças nas respostas do Estado Municipal aos problemas e demandas da população das ilhas. A metodologia utilizada foi o trabalho de campo etnográfico com observação participante e entrevistas em profundidade, de 2017 até a atualidade. Como resultado destaca-se que o caráter participativo (não representativo) e consultivo (não resolutivo) do CAPI é produto da síntese entre as lógicas dissimilares dos principais grupos que o compõem, bem como das necessidades do Município de canalizar a resolução de conflitos. Nas Conclusões destaca-se a importância de abordar as formas pelas quais as políticas públicas participativas são redefinidas no próprio processo de sua implementação
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
