La universidad necesaria: análisis de proyectos de extensión de la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica desde el enfoque de desarrollo humano y capacidades
No full text[ES] En este trabajo se hace una reflexión sobre la extensión de la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica (UNA), a través de la aplicación del enfoque del desarrollo humano y capacidades en el espacio de la educación superior. Como base teórico se parte de las ideas de Premio Nobel Amartya Sen, donde el énfasis está puesto en la creencia del desarrollo como expansión de las libertades de las personas y en la teoría de las capacidades de Martha Nussbaum, que complementa las ideas de Sen. El alcance de análisis de desarrollo humano se amplía con las aportaciones de distintos autores sobre el rol transformador de la Universidad del nuevo siglo y su misión de promover y expandir las capacidades de las personas para lograr bienestar y llevar la vida que valoran.
Esta investigación se propone encontrar y analizar la coherencia entre la visión de la extensión de la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica (UNA) y unos determinados valores del desarrollo humano. Asimismo se determinan las capacidades de la gente local, expandidas como resultado de su participación en los proyectos de extensión universitaria y los factores personales y sociales, que afectan o potencian ese proceso.Zlateva Peneva, P.

University extension and service-learning. Analysis of two experiences in South Africa and Costa Rica from the perspective of apabilities for human development
No full text[ES] Este artículo se propone analizar, por medio del
enfoque de las capacidades, la coherencia que
tienen las prácticas sudafricanas de aprendizajeservicio (ApS) y las de extensión universitaria costarricenses en relación con los valores centrales
del desarrollo humano. Este estudio cualitativo
realizado en dos universidades (la University of the
Free State en Sudáfrica y la Universidad Nacional
de Costa Rica) permite evidenciar la expansión de
capacidades de los participantes, demostradas en
la mejora del bienestar, la participación y el empoderamiento, la equidad y la diversidad y la sostenibilidad. Los resultados motivan, además, a reflexionar en torno a retos comunes que presentan
ambas universidades públicas, con el fin de consolidar este tipo prácticas pedagógicas y asegurar la
disponibilidad de oportunidades a las personas
participantes.[EN] This article aims to analyze, through the capabilities approach, the coherence between the
South African learning-service practices (ApS)
and the Costa Rican university extension activities in regards to the core values of human development. This qualitative study carried out in
two universities (University of the Free State,
South Africa and Universidad Nacional, Costa
Rica) proves there is an expansion of participants' capacities as shown by the improvement
in well-being, participation and empowerment,
equality and diversity, and sustainability. Additionally, the results move to reflect upon the
common challenges both public universities face, in order to strengthen this type of pedagogical practices and ensure the availability of opportunities for participants.Monge Hernández, CL.; Zlateva Peneva, P.; Boni Aristizábal, A.

Spatially-localized time dependent solutions including turbulence and their interactions in 2D Kolmogorov flow
No full textIn 2D Kolmogorov flow in small aspect ratio domains, spatially-localized solutions such as kink, traveling or time-dependent kink-antikink pars coexist. However, the conservation of the flow rate in the y direction strongly restrict combination of localized solutions and their positioning. We find that by adding a homogeneous flow U y their positioning is controlled and each of localized solutions including a spatially-localized chaos is isolated. Numerical results suggest that these isolated solutions can be elements constructing a whole flow
Characteristics of overlap region in high-Reynolds number turbulent channel flow
No full textDirect numerical simulation of the fully developed turbulent channel flows have been carried out at the Reynolds number based on the friction velocity and the channel half width, 2000, 4000 and 8000. A hybrid 10th order accurate finite difference scheme in the stream and spanwise directions, and a second-order scheme in the wall-normal direction is adapted as the spatial discretization method. We observed the plateau profiles in the indicator function corresponded to the von Karman constant. Furthermore, second peak of streamwise pre-multiplied spectra were appeared in the same wall normal height, 300 < y+ < 600, in case of Re = 4000. Nevertheless, the effects of the lager than the channel half height scale on the streamwise turbulent intensity are fixed contributions without dependence on Reynolds number. These results suggested that the new streamwise vortexes are formed between buffer layer and outer layer with increasing of Reynolds number
La 'circunstancia' de 'Herederos y Pretendientes
No full textIn June 2010, the Ortega y Gasset Foundation hosted a Conference about the “Spanish Philosophical Transition” in order to debate the book of Francisco Vázquez, La filosofía española. Herederos y Pretendientes. Una lectura sociológica (1963-1990), recently published. This paper is the author’s response to criticism raised in the Conference and to published reviews received by this book. First, the author summarized the argument of Herederos y pretendientes. Secondly he responds and takes into account the most important objections against the book’s hypothesis and methodology. Finally the author evaluates the favorable judgments received by the book and suggests the limits of the historian’s task.Fundación Ortega y Gasset-Marañó
Author self-citation in orthodontics is associated with author origin and gender.
No full textBACKGROUND
The aims of this bibliometric study were to determine author self-citation trends in high-impact orthodontic literature and to investigate possible association between self-citation and publication characteristics.
METHODS
Six orthodontic journals with the highest impact factor as ranked by 2017 Journal Citation Reports were screened for a full publication year (2018) for original research articles, reviews, and case reports. Eligible articles were scrutinized for article and author characteristics and citation metrics. Univariable and multivariable negative binomial regression was used to examine associations between self-citation incidence and publication characteristics.
RESULTS
Medians for author self-citation rate of the most self-citing authors and self-citations were 3.03% (range 0-50) and 1 (range 0-19), respectively. In the univariable analysis, there was no association between self-citation counts and study type (P = 0.41), article topic (P = 0.61), number of authors (P = 0.62), and rank of authors (P = 0.56). Author origin (P = 0.001), gender (P = 0.001) and journal (P = 0.05) were associated with self-citation counts and in the multivariable analysis only origin and gender remained strong self-citation predictors. Asian authors and females self-cited significantly less often than all other regions and male authors.
CONCLUSIONS
Authors in orthodontics do not self-cite at a frequency that suggests potential citation manipulation. Author origin and gender were the only variables associated with citations counts. More bibliometric research is necessary to draw solid conclusions about author self-citation trends in orthodontic literature

Author Co-Citation Analysis (ACA): a powerful tool for representing implicit knowledge of scholar knowledge workers
No full textIn the last decade, knowledge has emerged as one of the most important and valuable organizational assets. Gradually this importance caused to emergence of new discipline entitled ―knowledge management‖. However one of the major challenges of knowledge management is conversion implicit or tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. Thus Making knowledge visible so that it can be better accessed, discussed, valued or generally managed is a long-standing objective in knowledge management. Accordingly in this paper author co- citation analysis (ACA) will be proposed as an efficient technique of knowledge visualization in academia (Scholar knowledge workers)
