Economic policy as a complex system: Interdisciplinary methodological proposal
Full text linkEl objetivo del artículo es presentar una metodología interdisciplinaria para la investigación de la política económica. La interdisciplinariedad es entendida como la articulación de varias ciencias sociales para abordar un problema. Se diferencian las dimensiones económica, social, política y cultural. La metodología es heterodoxa, con dos influencias principales. Del materialismo histórico, la categoría proceso histórico, que implica el abordaje de la totalidad en movimiento. De Rolando García, la categoría sistema complejo, que permite sistematizar las diversas dimensiones del proceso histórico y orientar el análisis de sus interrelaciones. La técnica operativa consiste principalmente en identificar antecedentes, sistematizarlos y ejemplificarlos con casos latinoamericanos.The objective of the article is to present an interdisciplinary methodology for economic policy research.

From Rolando García, the category complex system that allows systematize the various dimensions of the historical process and guide the analysis of its interrelationships. The operational technique consists mainly of identifying background, systematizing them and exemplifying them with Latin American cases.Fil: Notaro, Jorge.

El trabajo remunerado en Uruguay en el período 2004 a 2009
Full text linkSe analizan los principales cambios en el trabajo con el objetivo de identificar los problemas relevantes y diseñar lineamientos de políticas superadoras. El desempleo dejó de ser el principal problema y el subempleo se redujo en forma importante, pero el número de trabajadores sin cobertura de la seguridad social -No Registrados- es 455.000 a fines de 2009. El análisis permitió saldar algunos debates sobre la explicación de los problemas del trabajo en el Uruguay y diseñar nuevas propuestas de política. La calidad del empleo y en particular los trabajadores No Registrados se toman como objetivos prioritarios de dos líneas de acción: a) el aumento de la productividad y los ingresos de las pequeñas y medianas empresas -Pymes-, los trabajadores por cuenta propia sin local y parte de los con local; b) las trabajadoras del servicio doméstico. En todos los casos, las medidas deberían: i) generar oportunidades de organización y participación como parte de una estrategia de inclusión social que coordine políticas de vivienda, educación y empleo; ii) mejorar los ingresos mediante transferencias condicionadas a acciones de los beneficiarios dirigidas al logro de los objetivos. Se proponen también distintos lineamientos para desempleados de larga duración, creación de trabajo en coyunturas recesivas y calificación de los trabajadores para el cambio tecnológico que acompaña el crecimiento.In order to identify major problems and design relevant policy guidelines. The main changes in labour are analyzed. Unemployment is no longer the main problem and underemployment was reduced significantly, but the number of workers without social security coverage -"Not Registered"- is 455,000 by the end of 2009. The analysis allowed settling some debates on the explanation of labour problems in Uruguay and design new policy proposals. Job quality and particularly unregistered workers are taken as priority goals for two lines of action: a) increasing productivity and incomes of small and medium companies -SMEs-, independent workers without premises and some of the workers with premises b) domestic service workers. In all cases, measures should: i) generate opportunities for organization and participation as a part of a social inclusion strategy to coordinate housing, education and employment policies, ii) improve income through conditional transfers to beneficiaries actions oriented to objectives attainment. We also propose some guidelines for long-term unemployed, job creation in recessionary conjunctures and workers qualification for the technological change linked with growth
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
