    When the countries integrate into the dynamics of the globalization, the personnel of the company must take the decision to keep on doing the work as it has always been done or to modify the strategies to manage to be competitive. Reason for which the requisites of the market in this phenomenon of the globalization, every day are more demanding. Especially, for those small and medium-sized enterprises, especially in the underdeveloped countries or about to development. To implant the quality insurance systems they will allow to the organization to have benefits that give him an added value with regard to the competition, bearing in mind of that the systems do not have the aptitude themselves to assure its commercial success, it helps to know by means of the proper systems, the procedures, its measurement, the handling of the information, the state that its processes and its transfer keep to the targets in order to be competitive. Inside this globalization and opening, the Technical Norms and the Evaluation of the conformity (certification, essays and accreditation) begin to play a predominant role. The ICONTEC faithful to its mission and vision of supporting the competitiveness of the companies in Colombia, has come working so that the Colombian Technical Norms, NTC, base on international norms ISO and OSHAS, so that our companies could compete in the exteriorCuando los países se integran en la dinámica de la globalización, el personal de la empresa debe tomar la decisión de continuar haciendo el trabajo como siempre se ha hecho o modificar las estrategias para lograr ser competitivas. Razón por la cual los requisitos del mercado en este fenómeno de la globalización, cada día son más exigentes. Sobre todo, para aquellas empresas pequeñas y medianas, especialmente en los países subdesarrollados o en vías de desarrollo. Implantar los sistemas de aseguramiento de calidad permitirán a la organización tener beneficios que le den un valor agregado con respecto a la competencia, teniendo en cuenta de que los sistemas no tienen la capacidad por si solos de asegurar su éxito comercial, ayuda a conocer mediante los propios sistemas, los procedimientos, su medición, el manejo de la información, el estado que guardan sus procesos y su traslado a los objetivos con el fin de ser competitiva. Dentro de esta globalización y apertura, las Normas Técnicas y la Evaluación de la conformidad (certificación, ensayos y acreditación) entran a jugar un papel predominante. El ICONTEC, fiel a su misión y visión de apoyar la competitividad de las empresas en Colombia, ha venido trabajando para que las Normas Técnicas Colombianas, NTC, se basen en normas internacionales ISO y OSHAS, de manera que nuestras empresas puedan competir en el exteriorCastro Echavez, Katiana Milena-41abf4df-682a-4ed8-832f-98fda995e042-0Cera Pernett, Francia Liceth-0556e7e1-cf7d-4202-ada4-28eb8ee4092e-

    Generally when there appears a public or private initiative to realize a civil work, there is established a timetable of activities where initially a detailed soils study needs from itself the achievement of several preliminary studies, inside which it appears in particular. This soils study, it always subdivides in several aspects, inside which the calculation of the establishments turns out to be of big importance from the same moment of beginning of works until many years after finished. For the determination of the establishments it becomes necessary to obtain parameters as the index of compressibility, which decides from a consolidation essay. It is necessary to emphasize that this is a long and costly essay. The man across the history, has looked for the way of minimizing the expense of the time and of the money, and the processes ingenieriles have not been the exception. The man in its emulation, has penetrated in investigations that allow him to obtain the parameters of calculation, of an easy and rapid way, leading it to postulating mathematical models where two or more variables are correlated.Generalmente cuando se plantea una iniciativa pública o privada de realizar una obra civil, se establece un cronograma de actividades en donde inicialmente se requiere la realización de varios estudios preliminares, dentro de los cuales figura en particular, un detallado estudio de suelos.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    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

    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
