LAS MUJERES EN LAS ESFERAS POLÍTICAS ASIÁTICAS
Full text linkEl porcentaje de mujeres en los parlamentos en los países de Asia-Pacífico es de los más bajos del planeta. Sin embargo, varios de estos países cuentan con una larga tradición de mujeres jefas de gobierno. Las principales causas que normalmente se atribuyen a la ausencia de mujeres en las esferas políticas son la existencia de sistemas electorales de tipo plurality y las resistencias a la adopción de cuotas. Esto último se ve afectado a su vez por determinadas actitudes políticas hacia la participación de la mujer en la vida pública y hacia determinadas concepciones de autoridad, presentes en los países de Asia. Estos elementos pueden afectar a la participación de las mujeres en política en general y a la participación de las mujeres en los puestos de toma de decisión en particular. Este estudio comparado analiza a través de un análisis estadístico el impacto de factores institucionales - propios del sistema electoral y del régimen político- socioeconómicos y de la posición de la mujer en diferentes Estados de Asia Pacífico, sobre la participación de las mujeres en la vida pública estos países.The percentage of women in Asia Pacific parliaments is the lowest in the world. Several of these countries, however, have a long tradition of women heads of government. Usually lower levels of woman presence in the political spheres are attributed to the existence of plurality type electoral systems and a resistance to adopt quotas. The latter in turn is affected by certain political attitudes towards the participation of women in public life and to certain conceptions of authority, present in Asian countries. These elements can affect the participation of women in politics in general and the participation of women in decision making positions in particular. In this comparative study uses a statistical analysis to measure the impact of institutional factors – such as the electoral system and the political regimen – socioeconomic factors and the position of women on the participation of women in public life the Asia Pacific region
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

Clivajes y polarización ideológica de los legisladores de América Latina
Full text link[ES] La contienda política en los diversos escenarios institucionales puede estar caracterizada por tendencias centrípetas o centrífugas, es decir, orientada hacia el consenso o hacia la polarización. En este último caso, juegan un papel fundamental los clivajes, en tanto en cuanto son fracturas sociales estables, ante las cuales los individuos y colectivos se posicionan (Lipset y Rokkan: 1967). Así mismo, en gran parte de la literatura, se sostiene que esos posicionamientos ante los clivajes definen la ubicación ideológica en el eje izquierda-derecha, tanto de los individuos como de los grupos. En los diferentes países o escenarios esos posicionamientos pueden solaparse o no, de forma que generan ubicaciones ideológicas más o menos integradas y coherentes. La literatura sostiene que cuanto más solapados estén los clivajes, más probables serán las ideologías “totales” y, por ende, mayor será el riesgo de polarización política. Por último, para testar estas presunciones en el presente boletín se hará un estudio cross-national de las opiniones de los diputados latinoamericanos electos entre 2006 y 2008 de todos los países de América Latina del Proyecto Elites Latinoamericanas (PELA) de la Universidad de Salamanca. Algunos de los resultados serán contrastados con datos de legislaturas anteriores para ver cómo varía la dispersión ideológica de las Cámaras Bajas de América Latina así como, cuáles de las diversas fracturas son estables en el tiempo[EN] The political competition in different institutional settings can be characterized by centripetal or centrifugal tendencies, oriented toward consensus or polarization. In this case, the cleavages play a fundamental role, as long as social fractures are stable, to which individuals and groups are positioned (Lipset and Rokkan, 1967). Likewise, as in much of the literature, it is argued that these positions to define the location cleavages ideological left-right axis, both individuals and groups. In different countries or scenarios such positions may overlap or not, so ideological locations that generate more or less integrated and consistent. The literature states that the more overlapping cleavages are more likely to be the "total" ideologies and thus, the greater the risk of political polarization. Finally, to test these assumptions in this newsletter will become a cross-national study of American views of the Members elected between 2006 and 2008 in all countries of Latin America Latin American Elites Project (PELA), University of Salamanca. Some of the results will be contrasted with data from previous legislatures to see how varied ideological dispersion of the lower chambers as well as Latin America, which of the various fractures are stable over tim
