Learning about Monetary Policy Rules when the Cost Channel Matters
No full textWe study how the stability of rational expectations equilibrium may be affected by monetary policy when agents learn using adaptive learning (E-stability concept) and the cost channel of monetary policy matters. We focus on both instrumental taylor-type rules and optimal rules. We show, analytically, that standard instrument rules -contemporaneous and forecast based rules - can easily induce indeterminacy and expectational instability when the cost channel is present. Overall, a naive application of the Taylor principle in this setting could be misleading. Regarding optimal rules, we find that "expectational-based" rules, under discretion and commitment, do not always induce determinate and E-stable equilibrium. This result stands in contrast to the findings of Evans and Honkapohja (2003) for for the baseline “New Keynessian" model.Monetary Policy Rules, Cost Channel, Indeterminacy
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Entre música y memoria: la estructura narrativa, el simbolismo cultural y los ecos autobiográficos en Le dedico mi silencio de Mario Vargas Llosa
No full textThe article analyzes Mario Vargas Llosa's novel Le dedico mi silencio, highlighting how the novel portrays Peruvian criollo music as a symbol of cultural identity and memory. Through its protagonist, Toño Azpilcueta, Vargas Llosa explores the role of criollo music in fostering national unity, illustrating how this tradition, though marginalized, continually resurges as an act of resistance against modernity and globalization.
The work is interpreted through the lens of the Dionysian myth, whose cycle of destruction and rebirth symbolizes the regenerative power of criollo music. This perspective connects art with universal transformation processes and underscores its transcendental power during times of crisis.
The article also examines autobiographical elements in the novel, linking Toño to Vargas Llosa’s formative years as a student at San Marcos University and as a young journalist. The fragmented narrative structure reinforces this parallel, reflecting both the protagonist's internal struggles and the nature of the criollo tradition, built from dispersed memories and collective testimonies. Overall, the novel celebrates criollo music as a space of cultural transcendence while reflecting on art as a transformative and unifying force.El presente artículo analiza la novela Le dedico mi silencio de Mario Vargas Llosa, destacando cómo la historia presenta la música criolla como un símbolo de identidad y memoria cultural en el Perú. A través del protagonista, Toño Azpilcueta, Vargas Llosa explora el papel de la música criolla en la construcción de la unidad nacional, mostrando cómo esta tradición, aunque marginalizada, resurge constantemente como un acto de resistencia frente a la modernidad y la globalización.
El artículo hace una interpretación de la obra a partir del mito de Dionisio, cuyo ciclo de destrucción y renacimiento simboliza la capacidad regenerativa de la música criolla. Este enfoque conecta el arte con procesos universales de transformación y resalta su poder trascendental en momentos de crisis.
Asimismo, el artículo examina las resonancias autobiográficas en la novela, vinculando a Toño con los años formativos de Vargas Llosa como estudiante en San Marcos y joven periodista. La estructura narrativa fragmentada refuerza este paralelismo, reflejando tanto las tensiones internas del protagonista como la naturaleza de la tradición criolla, construida a partir de recuerdos dispersos y testimonios colectivos. En conjunto, la novela celebra la música criolla como un espacio de trascendencia cultural, al tiempo que reflexiona sobre el arte como una fuerza transformadora y unificadora
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

Creación y puesta en funcionamiento del segundo canal de emisión online de la radio municipal de La Llosa de Ranes
No full textEl presente Trabajo Fin de Grado (TFG) abordará el proceso de creación de un segundo canal de emisión online de la emisora de radio municipal Llosa FM, de la localidad de La Llosa de Ranes (Valencia). Este canal será exclusivamente de emisión a través de Internet, dejando atrás la emisión por ondas hertzianas, que solamente utilizará el primer canal de esta radio municipal. Se trata un proyecto que se adapta a la predisposición actual del mundo de la radio que empieza a decantarse por el cese de las emisiones vía ondas FM, tal y como ha sucedido en Noruega, y que tiende a una emisión completamente online vía Internet.
En un primer lugar contextualizaremos el proyecto explicando, entre otras cosas, los inicios y evolución de la radio, el concepto de radio municipal y sus tendencias de futuro. Seguidamente nos centraremos en el caso práctico de la emisora municipal de la Llosa de Ranes, Llosa FM, analizando sus inicios y evolución. Y, finalizaremos, con la implantación de un segundo canal para esta emisora de radio municipal con la característica de que su emisión será online, utilizando la tecnología Streaming, así como implementando los podcasts para todos aquellos programes que se emitan en esta radio, explicando detenidamente todos los pasos que se han seguido para su puesta en marcha.Sarrión Álvarez, R.
