"Portrait of Sr. Jess T. Hopkins", 1946
No full textThis document, published by the Cultural Center of Physical Education Teachers of Uruguay, is a biographical sketch honoring Jess Townsend Hopkins (Springfield College alumnus, class of 1918) and explaining their decision to appoint him an Honorary Fellow. The document describes his substantial contributions to the field of physical education and the years he devoted in Uruguay and America to both promoting physical education reform and researching educational and sociological issues.The YMCA of Montevideo was founded April 6, 1909, and focused on organizing activities related to religion, moral, social, recreational and educational areas. In 1912 the first gym and the physical educational area was built. Jess T. Hopkins arrived in Montevideo to become the first Director in Physical Education. The YMCA introduced basketball, volleyball and competitive swimming to Uruguay. In 1920, Hopkins introduced social development and extension programs, such as the work with "canillitas" (people who sell newspapers on the streets). Hopkins is also credited with raising the standards and expectations for gymnasiums and physical education at the Uruguay YMCA. Before he arrived, gymnasiums were poorly ventilated rooms with only heavy weight lifting equipment. Hopkins transformed them into arenas for popular classes, exercise routines, and YMCA drills. He introduced hot and cold baths, embraced the “Play Fair” philosophy, and brought physical training and health education into school curriculums. Hopkins was also crucial in creating Uruguay's National Committee on Physical Education.Cover is not clear due to problems with original digitization. Written on the cover is "Sp.

Educación Física y educación del cuerpo en el Uruguay: Jess T. Hopkins (1912-1922)
No full textThis paper analyzes the main corporal and physical education discourses present in Jess T. Hopkins, physical education professor at Springfield College of the YMCA of North America; first Technical Director of the National Commission of Physical Education (CNEF) of Uruguay between 1912 and 1920, and in charge of the first intensive physical training education professors. Among the main findings, it is evident the influence of the YMCA in the gestational process of the CNEF in Uruguay.The physical education professor as a doctor assistant performed two kind of interventions: normación and normalización. The first one refers to individual body, machine; discipline applied on it as long as anatomo-politics of the body. The second one implies the body concept as specie and the population control (Foucault, 1976). Jess Hopkins showed a Darwin’s evolution interpretation with a tendency of degeneration (Vigarello, 2005).Neste trabalho analizam-se as principais discursividades sobre o corpo e a educação física, presentes em Jess T. Hopkins, professor de educação física pela universidade de Springfield College da Young Men Christian Asociation (YMCA) norteamericana, primeiro Diretor Técnico da Comissão Nacional de Educação Física ( CNEF) do Uruguai entre 1912 e 1920, e encarregado do primeiro curso intensivo de formação de professores de educação física. Entre as principais descobertas destaca-se a influência da YMCA no processo gestacional da CNEF no Uruguai. O professor de educação física, enquanto ajudante do médico, desempenhava dois tipos de intervenção, um denominado normação, que apontava ao corpo individual,, máquina, às disciplinas exercidas sobre ele enquanto anátomo-política do corpo, e outro denominado normalização, que tomava o corpo enquanto espécie e apontava ao governo da população (Foucault, 1976). Jess Hopkins mostrava uma interpretação do evolucionismo darwiniano tendente à degenerescência (Vigarello, 2005).En este trabajo se analizan las principales discursividades en torno al cuerpo y la educación física presentes en Jess T.

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
