    Innovación en Turismo: reflexiones en torno al paradigma regenerativo

    No full text
    The consolidation of mass tourism has shown that the implementation of the conventional format of supply and demand for services has generated a large negative impact in the territories in recent years. Consequently, the traditional modality framed under the capitalist and consumer logic has been going through various transformations (Kekutt, 2014; Collado Lara, 2017; Trivi, 2018; Medina Enríquez, 2019; Cáceres, 2021). Questioning the productive system in which the tourist activity is inserted, inevitably induces reflection on the immanent interconnection that the subject maintains with the living system of the planet, because it is human actions that determine the consequences that affect the biocultural conditions of the ecosystem they inhabit. Based on this, the present work intends to examine the fundamental postulates that facilitate the transition from conventional tourism projects to the living system model, typical of the regeneration paradigm, recognizing its benefits and identifying the conditions that hinder its implementation. It seeks to recognize what are the axioms, typical of the exercise of the activity, that regenerative tourism stresses.La consolidación del turismo masivo ha demostrado que la implementación del formato convencional de oferta y demanda de servicios ha generado, en los últimos años, una gran cantidad de impactos negativos en los territorios. Como consecuencia, la modalidad tradicional enmarcada bajo la lógica capitalista y de consumo, viene atravesando diversas transformaciones (Kekutt, 2014; Collado Lara, 2017; Trivi, 2018; Medina Enríquez, 2019; Cáceres, 2021). Cuestionar el sistema productivo, en el cual se inserta la actividad turística, induce a reflexionar sobre la inmanente interconexión que el sujeto mantiene con el sistema vivo del planeta, debido a que son las acciones humanas las que determinan las consecuencias que afectan las condiciones bioculturales del ecosistema que habita. En función de ello, el presente trabajo se propone examinar los postulados fundamentales que facilitan la transición de los proyectos turísticos convencionales hacia el modelo de sistema vivo, propios del paradigma de la regeneración, reconociendo sus beneficios e identificando los condicionamientos que dificultan su implementación. Se busca reconocer cuáles son los axiomas, propios del ejercicio de la actividad, que el turismo regenerativo tensiona

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    La visibilidad del legado patrimonial Afro-argentino en la actividad turística de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires

    The “initial myth” of our Republic, which began at the end of the 19th century and was based on the European notion of “melting pot” by State Hegemony (Golay, 2013), has been one of the whitening mechanisms. Through practices of exclusion and denial, the systematic invisibility of Argentine Afro-descendants was achieved (Tamagno and Maffía, 2011). However, in the last two decades a thorough revision has been initiated regarding the permanence of this group (Candioti, 2017; 2021) especially) especially in relation to the strongly established notion that “there are no black people in Argentina”. From this perspective, the objective of this work is to investigate how tourist activity contributes to the enhancement and positive activation of heritage (Arévalo, 2010) and the recognition of Afro-Argentine tourist attractions; analyzing how this practice has favored the revision of this ethnic minority in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. The approach takes a theoretical focus as a result of the problematization of the topics outlined above. By analyzing the literature and the data from the diaspora, the aim of of this work is to check the growing recognition and adoption of the Afro-Argentine tourist resources in the city.Uno de los mitos de origen de nuestra República, iniciado a fines del siglo XIX y fundamentado desde la hegemonía estatal en la noción del “crisol de razas” europea (Golay, 2013) ha servido durante más de un siglo, como mecanismo funcional de blanqueamiento. A través de prácticas de exclusión y de negación, se logró la sistemática invisibilización de los afrodescendientes argentinos. (Tamagno y Maffía, 2011). Sin embargo, en las últimas dos décadas se ha iniciado una profunda revisión respecto de la permanencia de este colectivo (Candioti, 2017; 2021), especialmente en relación a la noción fuertemente instalada de que “en Argentina no hay negros”. Desde esta perspectiva, el objetivo de este trabajo es indagar cómo la actividad turística contribuye a la puesta en valor y activación positiva del patrimonio (Arévalo, 2010) y al reconocimiento de atractivos turísticos afroargentinos; analizando cómo está práctica ha favorecido la revisibilización de esta minoría étnica en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. El abordaje reviste un enfoque teórico y es el resultado de la problematización de las temáticas expuestas. A partir del análisis de la literatura y de datos de la diáspora, se busca constatar el avance observado en relación al reconocimiento y apropiación de los recursos turísticos afroargentinos presentes en la CABA

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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 text
    We 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
