Masculinidades Cuánticas:Haciendo Género con la Hipótesis del Universo Matemático de Max Tegmark
No full textIn his book Our Mathematical Universe, Max Tegmark proposes a way of viewing “reality” as a multiverse of parallel universes governed by mathematics. In this article we take a few of Tegmark’s more accessible ideas and combine them with the study of masculinities to form “quantum masculinities.” Specifically, we use Tegmark’s presentation of the multiverse and the quantum state of superposition as a thinking tool for imagining not just multiple masculinities but infinite and contradictory masculinities. We then mobilize this newly proposed concept of quantum masculinities in two contexts. First, we put quantum masculinities in dialogue with Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity to question to what degree gender performance requires an observer. Second, we explore how far quantum masculinities are reconcilable with The Five Stages of Masculinity. We conclude with some discussion about the categories of “I” and “we” in imagining the self, as well as how the study of masculinities might evolve.En su libro Our Mathematical Universe, Max Tegmark propone una forma de ver la "realidad" como un multiverso de universos paralelos gobernados por las matemáticas. En este artículo tomamos algunas de las ideas más accesibles de Tegmark y las combinamos con el estudio de las masculinidades para formar las "masculinidades cuánticas". Específicamente, utilizamos la presentación de Tegmark del multiverso y el estado cuántico de superposición como una herramienta de pensamiento para imaginar, no solo masculinidades múltiples, sino que masculinidades infinitas y contradictorias. Después vamos más allá y planteamos este nuevo concepto de masculinidades cuánticas en dos contextos. En primer lugar, ponemos en contacto las masculinidades cuánticas con la teoría de la performatividad de género de Judith Butler para preguntarnos en qué medida el desempeño de género requiere una persona observadora. En segundo lugar, exploramos hasta qué punto las masculinidades cuánticas son reconciliables con Las Cinco Etapas de la Masculinidad. Concluimos con una discusión sobre las categorías de "yo" y "nosotros" al imaginarnos a nosotros mismos, y sobre cómo podría evolucionar el estudio de las masculinidades
Commented translation of a chapter from LIFE 3.0 Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence by Max Tegmark
Get PDF4 Abstract This bachelor thesis consists of two parts. The first is comprised of a side-by-side translation of the second chapter from book LIFE 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence by physicist and cosmologist Max Tegmark. The second part is a theoretical comment on the translation process with a scientific terminology glossary. The work focuses on the issue of insufficiently developed wordage of the Czech language in the means of fast-growing field of technology and informatics. The work pursues the methods of translation of words without a word-for-word variant in the Czech language. Keywords: translation, commented translation, non-fiction literature, English computer terminology, computer terminolog

[1] To understand how this theory is consistent with the truth, it should be compared with physical previous theories and experiences.

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
