Lisa Feldman, Mark LaFond, Mary Beth (Argenteiri) O’Connor, and Greg Boardman
No full textLisa Feldman, Mark LaFond, Mary Beth (Argenteiri) O’Connor, & Greg Boardman conducted a series of interviews regarding country music in Maine as a class project for AY123: Folklore Fieldwork Study. Due to the number of collectors in this group, only brief biographical sketches are possible. Lisa Feldman came to Maine in 1972 as a volunteer at the Northeast Archives of Folklore and Oral History, then stayed as a student and is now a Library Assistant at UMA. Mary Beth O’Connor and Mark LaFond were both co-authors of “Argyle Boom,” Northeast Folklore vol. XVII. O’Connor studied Folklore and Oral History at UMaine and is now assistant professor of Writing at Ithaca College. LaFond received a B.A. in Psychology from UMaine and has worked in the printing industry for over twenty years. Greg Boardman (www.bowandstring.com) teaches strings in the Lewiston Public Schools and at Bates College, where he leads a fiddle group and offers private instruction. He also performs as part of many ensembles, playing fiddle and other instruments.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/songstorysamplercollectors/1013/thumbnail.jp
The epistolary exchange between San Martin and Lafond
No full textFil: Bragoni, Beatriz. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas. Instituto de Ciencias Humanas, Sociales y Ambientales; Argentina.Fil: Bragoni, Beatriz. Universidad Nacional de Cuyo; Argentina.El artículo aborda un tema transitado y polémico de la historiografía hispanoamericana: la imagen de San Martín legada por Gabriel Lafond de Lurcy y las controversias en torno a lo discutido en la entrevista de Guayaquil que mantuvo con Simón Bolívar en 1822. A diferencia de los estudios previos que prestaron atención a la naturaleza real o apócrifa de la carta que incluyó Lafond en su obra publicada en 1843, el artículo explora el rol protagónico que le cupo al propio San Martín en la construcción y preservación de su memoria póstuma en relación con el progresivo rescate de la figura de Bolívar en América y Europa, y en la deliberada pretensión de San Martin de silenciar sus frustradas preferencias monárquicas constitucionales.The article deals with a busy and controversial issue of historiography: the image of San Martin bequeathed by Gabriel Lafond de Lurcy and controversies surrounding discussed in Guayaquil interview he had with Simon Bolivar in 1822. Unlike studies previous who paid attention to the real nature or apocryphal of the letter published Lafond in his work published in 1843, the article explores the leading role that quota to own San Martin in the construction and preservation of his posthumous memory in relation to the progressive rescue the figure of Bolivar in America and Europe, and the deliberate intention of San Martin to silence their preferences frustrated constitutional monarchist

Variations on the Author
No full text“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

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

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
Cluster Editing on Cographs and Related Classes
No full textIn the Cluster Editing problem, sometimes known as (unweighted) Correlation Clustering, we must insert and delete a minimum number of edges to achieve a graph in which every connected component is a clique. Owing to its applications in computational biology, social network analysis, machine learning, and others, this problem has been widely studied for decades and is still undergoing active research. There exist several parameterized algorithms for general graphs, but little is known about the complexity of the problem on specific classes of graphs.
Among the few important results in this direction, if only deletions are allowed, the problem can be solved in polynomial time on cographs, which are the P₄-free graphs. However, the complexity of the broader editing problem on cographs is still open. We show that even on a very restricted subclass of cographs, the problem is NP-hard, W[1]-hard when parameterized by the number p of desired clusters, and that time n^o(p/log p) is forbidden under the ETH. This shows that the editing variant is substantially harder than the deletion-only case, and that hardness holds for the many superclasses of cographs (including graphs of clique-width at most 2, perfect graphs, circle graphs, permutation graphs). On the other hand, we provide an almost tight upper bound of time n^O(p), which is a consequence of a more general n^O(cw⋅p) time algorithm, where cw is the clique-width. Given that forbidding P₄s maintains NP-hardness, we look at {P₄, C₄}-free graphs, also known as trivially perfect graphs, and provide a cubic-time algorithm for this class
