Inclusão indígena e exclusão dos afro-descendentes na América Latina
Get PDFThe author analyses the causes of the disparity in collective rights gained by indigenous and Afro-Latin groups in recent rounds of multicultural citizenship reform in Latin America. Instead of attributing the greater success of indians in winning collective rights to differences in population size, higher levels of indigenous group identity or higher levels of organisation of the indigenous movement, it is argued that the main cause of the disparity is the fact that collective rights are granted on the basis of possessing a distinct group identity defined in cultural or ethnic terms. Indians are generally better positioned than most Afro-Latinos to claim ethnic group identities separate from the national culture and have therefore been more successful in winning collective rights. One of the potentially negative consequences of basing group rights on the assertion of cultural difference is that it might lead indigenous groups and Afro-Latinos to privilege issues of cultural recognition over questions of racial discrimination as bases for political mobilisation in the era of multicultural politics.Latin American Studie
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
Sintonía afectiva entre políticos y usuarios de redes: el paro nacional en Colombia, 2021
No full textResumen: Las redes sociales han generado una esfera pública híbrida con una creciente atención al papel de los sentimientos en el discurso público. Para los políticos, las redes son útiles al generar entornos de sentimientos individuales y colectivos, más que al dar razones y propiciar el diálogo público. El objetivo de esta Investigación es analizar si existe sintonía afectiva entre los mensajes de líderes políticos y la respuesta que provocan en las redes. Para ello, se estudiaron los posts de los principales políticos colombianos, durante las manifestaciones del Paro Nacional, de 2021 y las reacciones emotivas que provocaron en Facebook. Tras el Estudio, se comprobó la congruencia afectiva entre los mensajes y las reacciones y que el discurso público online se sustenta más en compartir criterios emotivos, que en una línea deliberativa racional.Resumo: As redes sociais geraram uma esfera pública híbrida com uma atenção crescente ao papel dos sentimentos no discurso público. Para os políticos, as redes são úteis para gerar ambientes de sentimentos individuais e coletivos, ao invés de fundamentar e promover o diálogo público. O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar se há harmonia afetiva entre as mensagens dos líderes políticos e a resposta que provocam nas redes. Para isso, foram estudadas as postagens dos principais políticos colombianos, durante as manifestações da Greve Nacional, de 2021, e as reações emocionais que provocaram no Facebook. Após o estudo, verificou-se a congruência afetiva entre as mensagens e as reações e que o discurso público on-line se baseia mais no compartilhamento de critérios emocionais do que em uma linha deliberativa racional.Abstract: Social networks have generated a hybrid public sphere with a growing attention to the role of feelings in public discourse. For politicians, networks are useful for generating environments of individual and collective feelings, rather than giving reasons and promoting public dialogue. The objective of this research is to analyze if there is affective harmony between the messages of political leaders and the response they provoke in the networks. For this, the posts of the main Colombian politicians were studied, during the demonstrations of the National Strike, of 2021 and the emotional reactions that they provoked on Facebook. After the study, the affective congruence between the messages and the reactions was verified and that the online public discourse is based more on sharing emotional criteria, than on a rational deliberative line.Depto. de Estadística y Ciencia de los DatosFac. de Estudios EstadísticosTRUEpu
