Condiciones de empleo de un grupo de trabajadores con discapacidad en Cali, Colombia
Get PDFLas personas con discapacidad han vivido situaciones de exclusión social y discriminación. Sin embargo, algunas han logrado insertarse en el mercado de trabajo. Indagar por las condiciones de empleo de un grupo de trabajadores con discapacidad es el objetivo de este artículo, para lo cual se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo, transversal a 160 trabajadores con discapacidad en Cali. Se construyó un índice de condiciones de empleo y se encontró que uno de cada dos trabajadores presenta buenas condiciones de empleo. El tipo de discapacidad influye en la inserción laboral. La heterogeneidad del grupo revela que los trabajadores con discapacidad física presentan mejores condiciones de empleo, mientras que los trabajadores con discapacidad mental tienen las peores condiciones. La dependencia laboral influye en las condiciones de empleo, y los trabajadores asalariados presentan mejores condiciones de empleo que los independientes.People with disabilities have experienced situations of social exclusion and discrimination.
However, some have managed to join the labor market. This paper aims to explore
the employment conditions of a group of workers with disabilities. A quantitative,
descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out with a sample of 160 workers with
disabilities in Cali. An index of employment conditions was designed. The study found
that one in two workers has good employment conditions. The type of disability impacts
employability. The stark diversity of the sample reveals that physically disabled workers
have better employment conditions, while mentally disabled workers have worse conditions.
Labor dependence influences employment conditions. Salaried workers have
better employment conditions than freelance workers
Occupational therapy with the community: complexity, actions, and contexts
No full textIntroduction: Occupational Therapists have been building community-based actions, however, these
have been little documented. Objective: To systematize the actions of the Occupational Therapist in community as
part of the process carried out under the project “Contribution to the processes of social inclusion of people with
disabilities through community participation in the commune 20” Cali, Colombia. Method: Exploratory-reflective
study. Documentary analysis and interviewing were used as a data collection technique. Results: The process
included four actions: the first, or baseline, made it possible to understand the needs of the population and the project
readjustment; The second, the identification of key actors that have a social impact on disability issues; The third,
visibility of disability as a social problem. In the fourth action, the capacity for action and self-management of a
group of actors was accompanied and strengthened. Conclusion: Conceiving the subject from a social model, it made possible find needs and collective answers, accompany the group of people with disabilities in their identification as civic. Meanwhile, find the actions from a systemic approach involved to consider the interaction of different social systems and a look beyond the individual to the community
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
