Political strategies of a Buenos Aires Inquisition familiar: the case of Juan Ignacio de Ezcurra (1784-1806)
Full text linkEl artículo indaga en un conflicto suscitado en el Cabildo de Buenos Aires a partir de la elección anual de oficios concejiles llevada a cabo en enero de 1804. La inmediata renuncia de uno de los alcaldes electos inició una controvertida disputa, que involucró diversas instancias de gobierno y que tuvo resonancias en la Corte de Madrid. A partir de documentos de variada procedencia, y recuperando los aportes metodológicos de la nueva historia política, la perspectiva jurisdiccionalista del poder político y los estudios sobre la Inquisición, este análisis se centra en las apelaciones y uso estratégico de las competencias políticas, así como en las yuxtaposiciones de oficios y privilegios en familiares de la Inquisición. El trabajo inscribe esta contienda en la dinámica de confrontación entre elencos de élite local, donde cobraban relevancia los vínculos de los capitulares y la procuración en la Corte. Además, el enfoque adoptado contempla el funcionamiento polisinodial de la monarquía, y no pierde de vista el contexto global donde ciertos privilegios —especialmente ligados al fuero inquisitorial— estaban siendo seriamente cuestionados.The article explores a case brought forward to the Cabildo of Buenos Aires after the annual election of council positions held in January 1804. The sudden resignation of one of the elected mayors triggered a dispute involving several government agencies and even resonating in the Madrid Court. Using documents from multiple sources, and drawing from the methodological contributions of the new political history, the jurisdictional approach to political power, and Inquisition studies, the study focuses on the strategic use of appeals and political powers, as well as on the juxtaposition of privileges and positions among Inquisition “familiares”. It also approaches the dispute as part of the confrontational dynamics of local elite groups, where capitulars’ connections with Court procuration mechanisms was highly relevant. Furthermore, the study considers the monarchy’s polysynodal rationale, as well as an evolving global context where certain privileges (especially within the Inquisition’s jurisdiction) were being seriously challenged.Fil: Nasif, Samir.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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

No full textEl caso de Francisco Maldonado da Silva frente a la Inquisición en Lima (1626-1639)
Full text linkFrancisco Maldonado da Silva, a doctor and surgeon born in San Miguel de Tucumán, the son of a Portuguese surgeon - also prosecuted by the Inquisition in Lima - and an old Christian, was tried by the Holy Office and sentenced to die at the stake in an Auto de Fe in 1639. Based on Inquisitorial documents we will investigate certain aspects of his career, especially considering his religious condition: in spite of having been baptized and educated as a Christian, he decided to "live and die in the Law of Moses". As a result of his debates on theological issues with the Inquisition\u27s qualifiers, we will analyze mechanisms put into practice by this tribunal in the context of denominational questioning and dissidence, typical of the period of the Religious Reforms.Francisco Maldonado da Silva, un médico y cirujano nacido en San Miguel de Tucumán, hijo de un cirujano portugués –también procesado por la Inquisición de Lima– y una cristiana vieja, fue juzgado por el Santo Oficio y sentenciado a morir en la hoguera en un Auto de Fe en 1639. Con base en documentos inquisitoriales indagaremos ciertos aspectos de su trayectoria, considerando especialmente su condición religiosa: pese a haber sido bautizado y educado como cristiano, decidió “vivir y morir en la Ley de Moisés”. A raíz de sus debates sobre cuestiones teológicas con los calificadores de la Inquisición, analizaremos mecanismos puestos en práctica por este tribunal en el contexto de cuestionamientos y disidencias confesionales, propio del periodo de las Reformas religiosas
