    In the last decades, one of the most fruitful fields in educational research in the field of ELE has been the tireless search for the main "factors associated with second language learning, especially Spanish as a Foreign Language". From different theoretical perspectives and areas of knowledge, attempts have been made to find out the variables that affect ELE-related teaching and learning processes, what is their relative importance and how they could be improved, and, thus achieve better and greater learning. One of these factors that have been studied is the so-called cognitive factors that, according to the theorists, are intrinsically related to the affective factors, since both the language classroom can contribute to educating students to live more satisfactorily and to be members responsible for society. The cognitive ones do not act separately but interact with each other. For example, intelligence plays apreponderant role against aptitude, cognitive style, metacognition, since it depends, to a great extent, on having a familiarity with words and, at the same time, the ability to reason analytically about the situations of the educational context that arise as a result of the contextual variables or the application of a teaching method. Hence, these factors are determining factors in the ELE teaching process, since learning strategies have the element in which the student actively participates and is involved in learning.En las últimas décadas uno de los campos más fructíferos dentro de la investigación educativa en el campo de ELE ha sido la búsqueda incansable de los principales “factores asociados al aprendizaje de segunda lengua, en especial del español como Lengua Extranjera”. Desde diferentes perspectivas teóricas y áreas del conocimiento se ha intentado conocer las variables que inciden en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje relacionadas con ELE, cuál es su importancia relativa y cómo podrían ser mejoradas y de esa manera lograr un mejor y mayor aprendizaje. Uno de esos factores que han sido objeto de estudio son los denominados factores cognitivos que, según los teóricos están intrínsecamente relacionados con los afectivos, puesto que ambos el aula de lengua puede contribuir a educar a los alumnos a vivir de forma más satisfactoria y a ser miembros responsables de la sociedad. Los cognitivos, no actúan por separado, sino que interactúan entre ellos. Por ejemplo, la inteligencia, juega un papel preponderante frente a la aptitud, el estilo cognitivo, metacognición, puesto que de ella depende, en gran manera, que haya una familiaridad con las palabras y, al mismo tiempo, la capacidad de razonar analíticamente sobre las situaciones del contexto educativo que surgen como resultado de las variables contextuales o de la aplicación de un método de enseñanza. De ahí que estos factores son determinantes en el proceso de enseñanzade ELE, puesto que las estrategias de aprendizaje tienen el elemento en las que el alumno participa activamente y está implicado en el aprendizaje

    Continuidad de la formación de grado en posgrado en las carreras de la UNAN-Managua: una propuesta de guía metodológica

    Es incuestionable que el sistema de educación superior en Nicaragua y el mundo ha experimentado cambios sustantivos en la última década y eso cambios han obligado a la UNAN-Managua al sometimiento de cambios estructurales del sistema educativo, visión, misión, valores y ejes de trabajo, lo que por supuesto, genera nuevos y desafiantes escenarios. Uno de esos escenarios, es la transformación curricular de los planes de estudio de las carreras de grado que ofrece esta Alma Máter y, por ende, esto implica también al posgrado. En tanto, estos nuevos desafíos y contextos exigen mirar la formación universitaria más allá de la mirada individual o de un nivel o programa determinado, tomando en consideración en forma madura la mirada del aprendizaje a lo largo de la vida. En tanto, esta investigación tiene por objetivo principal validar el modelo de continuidad de formación de grado en posgrado de las carreras de la UNAN-Managua como una manera de hacer un uso eficiente de los procesos de formación. Del mismo se presenta una descripción del proceso de transformación curricular y del plan curricular del plan 2021. Asimismo, resultados de análisis documental de relación entre planes 2013 y 2021 con relación a la formación de posgrado, áreas de conocimiento, objetos de estudios y elementos conceptuales de ambos planes. Del mismo modo, los resultados de análisis de entrevistas realizadas a ejecutivos de docencia de grado sobre el proceso de transformación curricular y directores de departamento de educación sobre el mismo y sobre su apreciación de los elementos que debe tener una propuesta de metodología para el diseño de carrera de continuidad de grado en posgrado. También, los resultados de encuesta a estudiantes de posgrado para conocer si sus carreas de posgrado es continuidad de su formación de grado y un grupo focal a los coordinadores de las carreras de posgrado para conocer la percepción de continuidad de grado. Finalmente, se presenta una propuesta metodológica para la validación del modelo de continuidad de formación de grado en posgrado

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    We 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
