Internal Labor Commissions at the Workplace: Revival of Shop-floor Unionism and sites of workers’ politicization
No full textLa présence de l’organisation syndicale dans les espaces productifs privés et publics constitue l'une des marques du syndicalisme argentin depuis ses origines. Elément clé pour comprendre le péronisme, ce syndicalisme de base a été particulièrement combattu durant la dernière dictature civile et militaire. Malgré l’offensive néolibérale des années 1990, ce mode d’organisation réapparaît à partir de 2003 dans les commissions internes sur le lieu du travail et met sous pression les dirigeants syndicaux reconnus qui négocient à l’échelle des centrales avec les employeurs et l’Etat. Ces commissions internes réactivent les conflits du travail, mobilisent les travailleurs et renouvellent les modes et les stratégies collectives d’action. Cet article propose de décrire ce processus de résurgence de ce syndicalisme de base et de saisir sa montée en puissante en identifiant ses caractéristiques spécifiques.The presence of trade union organization in private and public economic sectors has been one of the hallmarks of Argentinian trade unionism since its inception. A key element to understanding Peronism, this shop-floor unionism was particularly challenged during the last civil and military dictatorship. Despite the neoliberal context of the 1990s, the shop-floor unionism emerged again in 2003 through the internal labor commissions. It put pressure on trade union leaders who negotiate at the sectoral level with employers and with the state. These internal commissions reactivated labor conflicts, encouraged workers’ mobilization and renewed the collective action strategy. This article proposes to analyze the process of shopfloor unionism revival and to describe its rise and unique characteristics.Fil: Drolas, María Ana.

Relaciones laborales y negociación colectiva: Un análisis sobre los convenios colectivos de trabajo de empresas multinacionales
No full textDesde hace tres décadas, el sistema económico mundial funciona sobre las bases de la llamada “globalización”, que puede definirse como la expansión del capital a través de empresas multinacionales (emn) de los países centrales hacia todos los rincones del planeta, y que adapta instituciones, sistemas políticos y prácticas sociales a sus necesidades de acumulación (ver Aronskind, 2015). En este sentido, las emn han sido actores predominantes de la economía mundial, lo que las convirtió en agentes clave para el desarrollo de nuevas prácticas ideológicas culturales de carácter transnacional que trascienden los ámbitos de los Estados nacionales (ver Sklair, 2003). Dentro de esas prácticas podemos referir a aquellas vinculadas con las relaciones laborales. Una vasta literatura internacional ha dado cuenta de las modificaciones que las emn introducen en las relaciones laborales de los diferentes países de instalación con el fin de homogeneizar las prácticas de empleo a nivel mundial (ver Antenas Collderram, 2008; Pulignano, 2006; Edwards et al., 2007; Muller et al., 2001; Vernon y Ress, 2001; Edwards et al., 2005; Gunnigle et al., 2007).Fil: Delfini, Marcelo Fabián.

Trabalhadores argentinos: respostas e propostas frente a ofensiva neoliberal
Get PDFEl objetivo de este artículo es examinar algunas experiencias de trabajadores argentinos que no cedieron frente al avance del neoliberalismo en los años 1990, sino que, al contrario, se organizaron y lograron resistir y en algunos casos contrarrestar la ofensiva política de aquella década. Nos referimos a tres experiencias clave para entender este proceso histórico. En primer lugar, la organización y acción de lostrabajadores desocupados, hecho que rompe con cualquier lógica Explicativa de la sociología clásica; en segundo lugar, la construcción de un sindicalismo alternativo por parte de los empleados del Estado, enun contexto de fuerte embestida contra este último; y, finalmente, el proceso de organización político de un grupo de trabajadores del transporte, que fue y sigue siendo testimonio insoslayable para todosaquellos obreros que deseen organizarse y luchar en un contexto de repliegue sindical. En definitiva, este artículo muestra las Construcciones políticas de las que son capaces los trabajadores aun en momentos de pérdida o ausencia de referencias identitarias e institucionales.The objective of this work is to examine some experiences of Argentine workers who never yielded to the advance of neoliberalism in the 1990s, but who, instead, organized themselves and managed to resist and, in some cases, reverse the political offensive of that decade. We refer to three key experiences to understand this historical process. Firstly, the organization and the action of the unemployed workers, a fact that breaks any explanatory logic of classical sociology; secondly, the construction of an alternative trade unionism by State workers, in a context of a strong offensive against the State; and, finally, the process of political organization of a group of transportation workers, which was and still is an undeniable testimony to all workers who want to organize themselves and fight in a context of trade unionism withdrawal. In short, this article shows the political construction of which workers are capable, even in times of loss or absence of identity and institutional references.Fil: Duhalde, Santiago.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
