Historia colectiva de los lavaderos comunitarios y el barrio antigua fábrica de loza en Bogotá
No full textLa historia colectiva es un enfoque que se ha utilizado en Latinoamérica para la construcción de memoria desde el Estado, la sociedad civil y la escuela, y que en el contexto colombiano ha sido muy útil para una comprensión multidimensional del conflicto armado. El presente trabajo busca a través de ejercicios de memoria colectiva con la comunidad que vive y usa los lavaderos comunitarios del barrio Antigua Fábrica de Loza, realizar una historia colectiva del territorio, comprendiendo tres elementos de valor para la comunidad: transformaciones sociales y espaciales del barrio y el entorno; ejercicios de resistencia para permanecer en el territorio y el espacio de los lavaderos comunitarios como epicentro de la vida comunitaria del sector.Collective history is an approach that was used in Latin America to construct memory by the state, civil society, and schools. In the Colombian context, it has been beneficial for a multidimensional understanding of the armed conflict. This paper, through collective memory exercises with the community that lives and uses the community laundries in the AntiguaFábrica de Loza neighborhood, seeks to create a collective history of the territory, encompassing three elements of value for the community: social and spatial transformations of the neighborhood and its surroundings; resistance to remain in the territoryand finally, the space of the community laundries as the epicenter of community life.Fil: Jaramillo, Alejandro Mendoza.

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

Comparison of spatial and temporal performance of two Regional Climate Models in the Amazon and La Plata river basins
No full textThis study aims to present a comprehensive spatio-temporal performance analysis of two water balance variables, precipitation and evapotranspiration, simulated by two Regional Climate Models (RCM) multi-model ensembles. We evaluate simulations from two RCMs from the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment in the two largest hydrological basins in South America, the Amazon River basin and La Plata River basin. Information was analyzed at 0.5°x0.5° resolution, compared with their driving Global Climate Models (GCM) from the Coupled Models Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) and reference datasets from observations and reanalysis for the period 1986–2005. Spatial and temporal model performance metrics were calculated for monthly datasets, at the annual scale. Annual cycles and the spatial distribution of mean fields are well represented by the RCMs, whereas the empirical frequency distributions reveal discrepancies in lower frequencies. In terms of spatial performance of the RCMs, the quantitative metrics showed that mean fields are better simulated by RCA4 and only RegCM4 offers added value with respect to GCM. Statistical metrics for temporal variability assessment presented a better performance over the La Plata basin from both RCMs. Over the Amazon basin, temporal variability of precipitation is better represented by RegCM4, and the opposite occurs for evapotranspiration with lower differences. According to the overall assessment of spatio-temporal results and performance metrics, the RegCM4 ensemble shows a better performance even though the number of members is smaller.Fil: Builes Jaramillo, Alejandro.
