The functional differentiation of society and its structural conditions to face the COVID-19 pandemic
Get PDFEl COVID-19 ha producido una intensa comunicación pública a nivel global. Las ciencias sociales han reaccionado produciendo información sobre sus impactos en las distintas esferas de la vida social particularmente en lo que concierne a la economía, la política y la ciencia. Sin embargo, los estudios acerca de la manera en que la estructura funcionalmente diferenciada de la sociedad favorece o restringe los intentos colaborativos para enfrentar la pandemia han sido escasos. En esa última dirección se aplicará la teoría de sistemas sociales para identificar mecanismos sistémicos como la reflexión y la racionalidad que pudiesen estimular el trabajo colaborativo para enfrentar la pandemia, para luego proponer modos organizacionales que la impulsen.COVID-19 has produced intense public communication on a global level. Social sciences have reacted by producing information on their impacts in different spheres of social life, particularly regarding economy, politics, and science. However, there has been not so much consideration about how the functionally differentiated structure of society favors or restricts collaborative attempts to address the pandemic. Specifically, in this way, social systems theory will be applied to identify systemic mechanisms of reflection and rationality that could stimulate collaboration, and then propose organizational modes that would foster it.Fil: Labraña, Julio.

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
La Primavera Chilena: ni conservadora ni revolucionaria. Una explicación sociológica del significado histórico del movimiento universitario chileno del año 2011
No full textAbstract The Chilean university movement of 2011 has been well-covered and analyzed in the specialized literature. This article analyzes its historical evolution and proposes a sociological explanation for the changes in the themes of its demands, since its origins in beginning of the 20th century to its current emphasis on education which is free, of quality and public. Historical demands, such as the political role of Chilean universities, have become less important in comparison to demands for equal access to higher education, due to its role in social mobility. It is suggested that these transformations result from immediate factors, such as changes in the composition of Chilean universities, their institutional characteristics and the dominant political discourse, and global trends regarding contemporary universities, such as the increasing importance of equity in higher education and the mission attributed to the universities in advancing objectives of social mobility.Resumen El movimiento universitario chileno del año 2011 ha sido sumamente estudiado en la literatura especializada. El presente artículo tiene por objetivos analizar su evolución histórica y proponer una explicación de los cambios en los temas de sus demandas desde su énfasis político a comienzos del siglo XX hasta sus exigencias actuales de educación pública, gratuita y de calidad. Se argumenta que ha existido, de hecho, una transformación significativa en las demandas del movimiento chileno en las últimas décadas. Demandas históricas, como el rol de la universidad chilena en un proyecto político, se hacen menos importantes en comparación con demandas centradas en el acceso equitativo a la educación superior por sus posibilidades de movilidad social. Se sugiere que estas transformaciones resultan de factores inmediatos, como cambios en la composición social de las universidades chilenas, sus características institucionales y en el discurso político, y de tendencias globales en torno a las universidades contemporáneas, como la importancia de la equidad en la educación superior y la misión atribuida a estas organizaciones en promover objetivos de movilidad social
