From the experience of agrochemicals to the incipient challenges of nano-agrochemicals: the manufactured risks and the right to a healthy environment in Argentina
Full text linkEl presente trabajo posee por objetivo iluminar, a partir de la problemática de la exposición a productos agroquímicos, la intersección entre el problema de los riesgos manufacturados y la afectación del derecho humano a un ambiente sano en Argentina. Con ese fin se propone, en una primera parte, focalizar en el proceso de judicialización de conflictos que se viene desarrollando sobre este tema a los fines de elucidar el rol que ha tenido el argumento de los derechos humanos en la toma de decisiones judiciales. En la segunda parte, y de cara a los recientes desarrollos en materia de nano-agroquímicos, se intenta construir una reflexión que permita enlazar los interrogantes y desafíos en materia de derechos humanos que dejó planteada la conflictividad en materia de agroquímicos con esta reciente innovación técnica basada en el desarrollo nanotecnológico.The objective of this work is to illuminate -from the problematic of the exposure to agrochemical products- the intersection between the problem of the manufactured risks and the affectation of the human right to a healthy environment in Argentina. We purpose to analyze the process of conflict’s judicialization which is being developed about this topic in order to elucidate the role that the argument of humans right has had in the judicial decision-making. In the second part we try to build a reflection which allows linking questions and challenges in the matter of human rights which has raised the conflict in the matter of agrochemicals with this recent technical innovation based on the development about nanotechnology.Fil: Berros, María Valeria.

Principio precautorio en Argentina: un análisis de la legislación y de la jurisprudencia relevante de la corte suprema de justicia de la nación (2002 a 2016)
No full textEn este estudio proponemos iluminar dos grandes aspectos sobre le principio precautorio en la Argentina que son los que dan contenido a las dos partes del trabajo que lo conforman. La primera, dedicada a monitorear de que manera el principio se fue incorporando en las leyes federales vigentes. Para realizar esta tarea se considera no sólo la inclusión del principio de precaución de manera expresa sino, también, aquellas herramientas jurídicas que se inspiran en su racionalidad y, a su vez, se enfoca en leyes específicas como es el caso de la relativa a la protección de bosques nativos. La segunda, por su parte, enfatiza en la jurisprudencia relevante de la Corte Suprema de Justicia de la Nación, lo que implica dos procesos paralelos. Por una parte, dejar de lado la prolífica cantidad de conflictos socio-ambientales relativos a riesgos inciertos o controvertidos que ha venido desarrollándose y ampliándose en la última década y media identificando cuales de los variados aspectos que se pueden articular con la precaución han sido analizados por el máximo órgano de justicia, quien diferencia las decisiones según hayan versado o no sobre casos estructurales en materia ambiental.Fil: Berros, María Valeria.

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
