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
Casa y escuela: la aportación de Mary y David Medd a la arquitectura escolar británica de posguerra. Cinco Development Projects del Architects & Building Branch
No full text[ES] Mary Beaumont Crowley (1907-2005) y David Leslie Medd (1917-2009) trabajaron como arquitectos en el Ministerio de Educación de Reino Unido desde 1949 hasta pasada la década de 1970. Los Medd encabezaron el equipo del Development Group dentro del Architects & Building Branch, que desarrolló las nuevas bases para el diseño de escuelas tras el Education Act de 1944. El planteamiento ideado por los Medd se alejó de los tipos más tradicionales, formados por una serie de aulas, y presentó un nuevo modelo de escuela fundamentado en la variedad. Este principio, del que surgió la estrategia conocida como Built-in variety, y el sistema de los Planning Ingredients, fue una respuesta a los métodos educativos empleados por los docentes en aquel momento, inspirados en las corrientes más revolucionarias conocidas como Child-Centred Education.
A lo largo del periodo de posguerra, a través de un proceso de experimentación e investigación, los arquitectos dirigieron un proceso que abordó cuestiones como la diversidad de lugares en los interiores de escuelas primarias, su domesticidad, la integración de las partes, la utilización de sistemas prefabricados o la participación de la comunidad, que tienen un amplio recorrido e interés desde el punto de vista del proyecto arquitectónico. En la presente investigación, tras una lectura de los escritos de los arquitectos, se han utilizado estos conceptos para comprender el proceso de proyecto llevado a cabo por los Medd durante casi tres décadas. Esta tesis toma el proyecto como objeto de estudio, pero no pretende documentar el proceso siguiendo un orden lineal, sino volver a proyectar las escuelas a través de un método interpretativo que ponga en relación las palabras de Mary y David Medd con las de otros autores, para comprender el significado de estas escuelas hoy, 60 años después.[EN] Mary Beaumont Crowley (1907-2005) and David Leslie Medd (1917-2009) worked as architects in the Ministry of Education of Great Britain from 1949 until after the 1970s. The Medds were the acknowledged leaders of the well-known Development Group in the Architects & Building Branch, that developed the new school design bases after The Education Act of 1944 was approved. The approach of the new school design shifted from the more traditional types, with a series of self-contained classrooms, towards an alternative substantiated on variety. This principle from which the strategy known as Built-in variety emerged, and the system of the Planning Ingredients, was a response to the educational methods employed by teachers at the time, inspired by the most revolutionary principles of the Child-Centred Education.
Throughout this post-war period, the Medds followed a process of experimentation and research to develop a school design approach that addressed issues such as the diversity of places within the teaching area, its domesticity, the integration, the use of prefabricated systems, the participation of the community, which have a broad path and interest from the design perspective. In the present research, having read the architects' documents, these concepts have been used to understand the design process carried out by the Medds for almost three decades. This research takes the design as an object of study; it is not intended to document the process following a linear order, but to re-design the schools through an interpretative method, which relates David and Mary Medds' words with those of other authors, to understand the meaning of these schools today, 60 years later.[CA] Mary Beaumont Crowley (1907-2005) y David Leslie Medd (1917-2009) treballaren com arquitectes en el Ministeri d'Educació de Regne Unit des de 1949 fins passada la dècada de 1970. Els Medd encapçalaren l'equip del Development Group dins del Architects & Building Branch, que desenvolupà les noves bases per al disseny d'escoles després del Education Act de 1944. El plantejament ideat pels Medd s'allunyà dels tipus més tradicionals, formats per una sèrie d'aules, i presentà un nou model d'escola fonamentat en la varietat. Aquest principi, del que va sorgir l'estratègia coneguda com Built-in Variety, i el sistema dels Planning Ingredients, fou una resposta als mètodes educatius emprats pels docents d'aquell moment, inspirats en els corrents més revolucionàries conegudes com Child-Centred Education.
Al llarg del període de postguerra, a través d'un procés d'experimentació i investigació, els arquitectes dirigiren un procés que abordà qüestions com la diversitat de llocs en els interiors d'escoles primàries, la seua domesticitat, la integració de les parts, la utilització de sistemes prefabricats o la participació de la comunitat, que tenen un ampli recorregut i interès des del punt de vista del projecte arquitectònic.

The first catalog of active galactic nuclei detected by the Fermi large area telescope
No full textWe present the first catalog of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) detected by the Large Area Telescope (LAT), corresponding to 11 months of data collected in scientific operation mode. The First LAT AGN Catalog (1LAC) includes 671 ?-ray sources located at high Galactic latitudes (|b|>10°) that are detected with a test statistic greater than 25 and associated statistically with AGNs. Some LAT sources are associated with multiple AGNs, and consequently, the catalog includes 709 AGNs, comprising 300 BL Lacertae objects, 296 flat-spectrum radio quasars, 41 AGNs of other types, and 72 AGNs of unknown type. We also classify the blazars based on their spectral energy distributions as archival radio, optical, and X-ray data permit. In addition to the formal 1LAC sample, we provide AGN associations for 51 low-latitude LAT sources and AGN "affiliations" (unquantified counterpart candidates) for 104 high-latitude LAT sources without AGN associations. The overlap of the 1LAC with existing ?-ray AGN catalogs (LBAS, EGRET, AGILE, Swift, INTEGRAL, TeVCat) is briefly discussed. Various properties—such as ?-ray fluxes and photon power-law spectral indices, redshifts, ?-ray luminosities, variability, and archival radio luminosities—and their correlations are presented and discussed for the different blazar classes. We compare the 1LAC results with predictions regarding the ?-ray AGN populations, and we comment on the power of the sample to address the question of the blazar sequenc
