Neo-extractivismo y derechos territoriales en la Orinoquia y Amazonia venezolana
Get PDFThe territorial conflicts over the control of lands and natural resources have been a constant in Latin American histoy. At the beginning of the 21st century, however, new processes of rural territorial transformation are taking place in the continent. The main objective of the paper is to generate a theoretical and research agenda focused in the analysis of these processes. In the first part the theoretical arguments which have emerged in the literature to distinguish the policies identified as extractivism during the 20th century are analyzed in contrast to the emergence during the 21st century of those labelled as neo-extractivism. In the second part, based on a human rights approach, the emergence and consolidation of neo-extractivism in Venezuela is analyzed, ideologically conceived as an unavoidable strategy for achieving economic growth in countries rich in natural resourcesIn the third part, the processes which have given origin to neo-extractivism in Venezuela are considered, whereas the fourth part focuses on Orinoco and Amazonian regions, and particularly their impacts on the indigenous territories. Finally, in the conclusions some lessons are derived from the case study, with the objective of proposing new agendas of public policies to overcome neo-extractivism..Los conflictos territoriales por el control de la tierra y los recursos naturales han sido una constante histórica en América Latina; a inicios del siglo XXI, nuevos procesos de transformación rural territorial están ocurriendo en el continente.El principal objetivo de este articulo es generar una agenda teórica y de investigación focalizada en el análisis de estos procesos. Primero, se abordan los planteamientos teóricos que han surgido en la literatura para distinguir las politicas identificadas como "extractivistas" durante el siglo XX, en contraste con las identificadas como "neo-extractivismo" en el siglo XXI. Segundo, con base en un enfoque de derechos humanos, se analiza el surgimiento y consolidación del "neo-extractivismo" en Venezuela - ideológicamente concebido como estrategia inevitable para el crecimiento económico en paises ricos en recursos naturales -, para centrarnos luego en su expresión en las regiones de la Orinoquia y la Amazonia venezolana, y particularmente en sus impactos negativos sobre los territorios indigenas. Finalmente, en las conclusiones se extraen lecciones del caso analizado, con el objetivo de proponer nuevas agendas de politicas públicas para superar el "neo-extractivismo"

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
