Essentia Curriculum : diseño curricular a partir de un enfoque de ingeniería de software basado en el núcleo de SEMAT essence
No full textIlustracionesSome curriculum design methods are found by considering a literature review of a century of curriculum design theory; however, documented experiences worldwide indicate curriculum design is done without considering curriculum design methods based on theory. In this vein, this Ph.D. Thesis starts by observing the practices described in curriculum design theory differ from empirical practices, an observation leading to many ways of working. Further, experiences in curriculum design lack documentation, and observable and reliable verification about curriculum design practices from an engineering perspective is lacking. Dealing with such gaps, this Ph.D. Thesis is focused on creating a theoretical foundation for curriculum design—initially focused on computing-related academic programs—from a software engineering approach by using the Software Engineering Method and Theory (SEMAT) Essence kernel. Thus, we establish ESSENTIA CURRICULUM in this work. To this end, a linguistic corpus is constructed based on a literature review and contributions from a community of 226 professors with experience in curriculum design worldwide. First, the work focuses on eliciting common practices. Second, the terminology is unified. Third, we propose modifications to the SEMAT Essence kernel for establishing EC-Nucleus as the core of ESSENTIA CURRICULUM, which is the basis of a language specification easy to understand, and context-free. Thus, EC-Nucleus can be applied beyond computing-related academic programs. ESSENTIA CURRICULUM is based on computational linguistics analysis of the linguistic corpus, which allows for the identification of common practices and, consequently, the unification of the terminology to support curriculum design endeavors. Ten common practices are represented in ESSENTIA CURRICULUM. Such practices and some curriculum design representations proposed by the community constitute a growing library of practices called EC-Bibliotheca, which is available online. Finally, the proposal is validated in an academic scenario with favorable results by following the IEEE 1012-2016 standard. The ESSENTIA CURRICULUM has the basis for creating specialized computing solutions working on natural language processing in future scenarios due to its definition as a system, theory, method, and model. (Tomado de la fuente)Algunos métodos de diseño curricular fueron encontrados al considerar una revisión de la literatura de un siglo de teoría del diseño curricular; sin embargo, experiencias documentadas en todo el mundo indican que el diseño curricular se realiza sin considerar tales métodos de diseño curricular basados en la teoría. En este sentido, esta tesis doctoral comienza observando que las prácticas descritas en la teoría del diseño curricular difieren de las prácticas empíricas, una observación que conduce a muchas formas de trabajar. Además, las experiencias en el diseño curricular carecen de documentación y una falta de verificación observable y confiable sobre las prácticas de diseño curricular desde una perspectiva de ingeniería. Para abordar estas situaciones, esta tesis doctoral se enfoca en crear una base teórica para el diseño curricular, inicialmente orientada en programas académicos relacionados con la computación, desde un enfoque de ingeniería de software utilizando el núcleo de SEMAT Essence. Así, se establece ESSENTIA CURRICULUM en este trabajo. Para ello, se construye un corpus lingüístico basado en la revisión de la literatura y contribuciones de una comunidad de 226 profesores con experiencia en diseño curricular a nivel mundial. En primer lugar, el trabajo se centra en educir prácticas comunes. En segundo lugar, se busca la unificación de terminología. En tercer lugar, proponemos modificaciones al núcleo de SEMAT Essence para establecer EC-Nucleus como el núcleo de ESSENTIA CURRICULUM, que es la base de una especificación de lenguaje fácil de entender y libre de contexto. Por tanto, EC-Nucleus se puede aplicar más allá de los programas académicos relacionados con la informática. ESSENTIA CURRICULUM se basa en el análisis de lingüística computacional del corpus lingüístico, que permite la identificación de prácticas comunes y, en consecuencia, la unificación de la terminología para apoyar los esfuerzos de diseño curricular. Diez prácticas comunes están representadas en ESSENTIA CURRICULUM. Estas prácticas y algunas representaciones de diseño curricular propuestas por la comunidad constituyen una creciente biblioteca de prácticas llamada EC-Bibliotheca, que está disponible en línea. Finalmente, la propuesta se valida en un escenario académico con resultados favorables siguiendo el estándar IEEE 1012-2016. ESSENTIA CURRICULUM tiene la base para crear soluciones computacionales especializadas que trabajen elprocesamiento del lenguaje natural en escenarios futuros debido a su definición como sistema, teoría, método y modelo.DoctoradoDoctor en IngenieríaMixed methodComputational linguisticsIngeniería De Sistemas E Informática.Sede Medellí
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
