El bautizo de Aida Lucía, sobre la afrorreparación
Get PDFRESUMEN: Las huellas de la esclavización a la que fue sometida una parte de la población africana durante la trata esclavista desatada a partir de la conquista de América por los europeos, pueden ser aún visibles desde diferentes perspectivas. En el marco de los Estudios del Caribe, esas huellas pueden extenderse hasta el Pacífico colombiano, lugar donde se centra este texto. Aida Lucía Angulo Díaz es una bebé nacida en Buenaventura, el más importante puerto comercial sobre el Pacífico colombiano, y al ser la autora nombrada su madrina de bautizo, este hecho le permite poner en análisis la multiplicidad de elementos que hacen complejos los procesos de reparación de la memoria africana de los ancestros de su ahijada y su entorno social. El texto es un análisis de hasta qué punto es posible la afrorreparación en una población de clara descendencia africana, en la que también elementos culturales de las sociedades que los han marginado, como el bautizo católico, están fuertemente arraigados en ellos. Al ser el bautizo católico una práctica cultural propia de las sociedades europeas, el texto constituye un juego entre lo simple y lo complejo, entre lo inmediato y los procesos de larga duración, entre el presente y el pasado, entre lo académico y lo cotidiano, entre los intereses propios y los ajenos. Por eso este es también un texto de carácter auto reflexivo, al estar inevitablemente la autora inmersa dentro de toda esa complejidad a la que se refiere en su análisis.ABSTRACT: The treads of the slavery that suffered a portion of the African population during the slavers’ trade arose since the conquer of America by the Europeans, can be apparent from different views. In the background of the Caribbean Studies, those treads can extend to the Colombian Pacific, place where this paper is focused. Aida Lucía Angulo Díaz is a baby girl born in Buenaventura, the most important commercial harbour over the Colombian Pacific region, and being the author named her godmother, this fact allows her to put in an analysis the multiplicity of elements that make complex the reparation processes of the African memory of the ancestors of her goddaughter and her social environment. The text is an analysis about how much is possible the African reparation in a population with a clear evidence of African roots, where also cultural elements of the societies that have excluded them, as the catholic baptism, are strongly established in them. Being the catholic baptism a cultural practice that belongs to the European societies, the text constitutes a game between the simple and the complex, between the immediate and the long terms’ processes, between the present and the past, between the academic and the quotidian, between the own interests and the somebody’s else. That’s because this is also a text of auto reflexive kind, being the author unavoidably immerse in all that complexity that she refers in her analysis.Pregrad
Application of Matrix Equations in the Aida Method
No full textThe article presents the problem of a decision-making process based on the method known as the analysis of interconnected decision areas (AIDA). Author described the basic assumptions of the AIDA method and the classic method of its implementation with the usage of a decision tree. Crucially, the new and innovative improvement in development of the AIDA method is connected with the replacement of the decision tree by the matrix equation to speed up the cost assessment of decision variants
Contemporary Art in Japan and Cuteness in Japanese Popular Culture
Get PDFThis thesis is an art historical study focussing on contemporary Japan, and in particular the artists Murakami TakashL Mori Mariko, Aida Makoto, and Nara Yoshitomo. These artists represent a generation of artists born in the 1960s who use popular culture to their own ends. From the seminal exhibition 'Tokyo Pop' at Hiratsuka Museum of Art in 1996 which included all four artists, to Murakami's group exhibition 'Little Boy: The Arts of Japan's Exploding Subculture' which opened in April 2005, central to my research is an exploration of contemporary art's engagement with the pervasiveness of cuteness in Japanese culture.
Including key secondary material, which recognises cuteness as not merely something trivial but involving power play and gender role issues, this thesis undertakes an interdisciplinary analysis of cuteness in contemporary Japanese popular culture, and examines howcontemporary Japanese artists have responded, providing original research through interviews with Aida Makoto, Mori Mariko and Murakami Takashi. Themes examined include the deconstruction of the high and low in contemporary art; sh6jo (girl) culture and cuteness; the relation of cuteness and the erotic; the transformation of cuteness into the grotesque; cuteness and nostalgia; and virtual cuteness in Japanese science fiction animation, and computer games.

Altmetrics in Library and Information Science: coverage of sources and use of social media by authors
Get PDFAltmetrics is a movement that aims to capture new and previously invisible types of impact of scholarly publications on social web platforms such as news sites, Wikipedia, blogs, microblogs, social bookmarking tools and online reference managers. This thesis aimtries to explore the suitability and reliability of two altmetrics resources: Mendeley, a social reference manager website, and Wikipedia, a free online encyclopedia, written collaboratively by the people who use it. At present, Wikipedia is the largest online encyclopedia.
The main objectives of this thesis are to explore the use of reference management software and Wikipedia to estimate the readership of academic literature and to compare the evolution in the coverage of LIS literature by altmetric sources and by citation indexes.
To reach these objectives, three different studies were designed. The general method to achive toobtain the initial data set was to search is that we used the Social Sciences Citation Index to retrieve articles and reviews published and indexed in the category “Information Science & Library Science”. Each record was then searched in Mendeley to obtain the number of bookmarks of the paper and the academic status of the users. Additonally, we performed a fifteen-month longitudinal study of the evolution of bookmarks in Mendeley. Afterwards, we searched for each of these articles in Wikipedia, and retrieved all the entries in which they were cited.
The Results results of these studies show that the correlation between bookmarks and citations was moderate and the overlap between the most frequently bookmarked and the most frequently cited papers increased over time. A significant share of the bookmarks were made by students and professionals, although the shares of bookmarks made by different categories of users changed as time went by. Reviews were bookmarked more frequently than articles, and papers in English had more bookmarks than papers in any other language.
Also results reveal severe limitations in the use of Wikipedia citations for research evaluation. Lack of standardization and incompleteness of Wikipedia references make it difficult to retrieve them. The number of Wikipedia citations is very low, A significant number of references are cited in biographical entries about the authors of the articles, resulting in a phenomenon of accumulated advantage. Nearly one-third of the Wikipedia citations link to an open access source, although this result is probably an underestimate of open access availability, given the incompleteness of Wikipedia citations.Altmetrics es un movimiento que tiene como objetivo capturar nuevos tipos de impacto, antes invisibles, de las publicaciones académicas en las plataformas de la web social, tales como sitios de noticias, Wikiped ia, blogs, microblogs, herramientas de marcadores sociales y gestores de referencias en línea. Esta tesis pretende explorar la pertinencia y fiabilidad de dos recursos altmétricos: Mendeley, un sitio web de gestión de referencia social, y Wikipedia, una enciclopedia online gratuita escrita en colaboración por las personas que la utilizan. Actualmente, Wikipedia es la mayor enciclopedia en línea. Los principales objetivos de esta tesis son investigar el uso del software de gestión de referencia y de Wikipedia para estimar el número de lectores de literatura académica y comparar la evolución en la cobertura de la literatura de Ciencias de la Información y Biblioteconomía (Library and Information Science, por sus siglas en inglés), según fuentes altmétricas y por índices de citas.
Para alcanzar estos objetivos, se diseñaron tres estudios diferentes. El método general para acceder al conjunto de datos consistía en utilizar el Social Sciences Citation Index para recuperar revisiones y artículos publicados e indexados en la categoría «Information Science & Library Science». Se buscó cada registro en Mendeley para obtener el número de marcadores del documento y el estatus académico de los usuarios. De manera adicional, realizamos un estudio longitudinal durante quince meses para estudiar la evoluci ón en el número de marcadores. Posteriormente, buscamos cada uno de estos artículos en Wikipedia y recuperamos todas las entradas en las que fueron citados.
Los resultados de estos estudios muestran que la correlación entre los marcadores y las citas era moderada y la coincidencia entre los documentos guardados en marcadores con más frecuencia y los más citados aumentó con el tiempo. Una parte significativa de los marcadores los habían hecho estudiantes y profesionales, aunque el número de marcadores hechos por diferentes categorías de usuarios cambiaron con el paso del tiempo. Las revisiones se guardaban en marcadores con más frecuencia que los artículos, y los documentos en inglés tenían más marcadores que los documentos en cualquier otro idioma.
Los resultados también revelan severas limitaciones en el uso de citas de Wikipedia para la evaluación de investigación. La falta de estandarización y el carácter incompleto de las referencias de Wikipedia dificultan su recuperación. El número de citas de Wikipedia es muy bajo, y un número significativo de referencias se citan en las entradas biográficas dedicadas a los autores de los artículos, lo que supone una ventaja acumulada. Cerca de un tercio de las citas de Wikipedia se vinculan a una fuente de acceso abierto, aunque probablemente este resultado sea una subestimación de la disponibilidad de acceso a estas fuentes, dado que las citas de Wikipedia están incompletas
Research positioning & trend identification: a data-analytics toolbox
No full textAIDA was an initiative of TU Delft scientific staff in cooperation with TU Delft Library and Leiden University’s Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS). The aim of the AIDA project was to provide TU Delft researchers and faculties with easy-to-use tools for research positioning and trend identifi cation.This booklet introduces a toolbox that will help a wide range of end-users – such as PhD candidates, researchers, group leaders, and university policymakers – to position their research and identify important patterns and trends within their domains of interest. The information provided and the case studies presented were developed based on the questions received from end-users at TU Delft. In compiling this information, extensive use was made of the experience of Leiden University’s Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) and the Research Support of TU Delft library. The presentation style is meant to be visual and easy to use, and to provide practical benefits.In this booklet, we first introduce the researcher’s toolbox, which consists of data collection, analysis, and communication tools. We then provide a list of frequent questions that we have received from our end-users and for each question we indicate the pages in which relevant case studies can be found. Each case study shows some of the methods that can be used to position research and identify trends. We provide a sample illustration and its description for each case study. We explain WHAT the case study is about, WHY it is important, WHO can benefi t from it, and HOW you can replicate it or make similar ones based on the data at hand.Transport Engineering and Logistic

Twenty years of readership of library and information science literature under Mendeley’s microscope
No full text
Purpose
Altmetric indicators have been proposed as a complement to citation counts in research evaluation. Conceivably, they might also be used to supplement other methods for estimating journal readership. The purpose of this paper is to explore the use of Mendeley reference management software to characterize the features of the readership of library and information science (LIS) literature.
Design/methodology/approach
The authors used the Social Sciences Citation Index to retrieve 54,655 articles and reviews published between 1995 and 2014 and indexed in the category “Information Science & Library Science”. Each record was then searched in Mendeley to obtain the number of bookmarks of the paper and the academic status of the users.
Findings
Mendeley covers 61 per cent of the LIS literature published in the last 20 years. In all, 75 per cent of the papers published in the last five years had been bookmarked at least once in Mendeley whereas just 55 per cent had been cited in Web of Science. Reviews are bookmarked more frequently than articles, and papers in English have more bookmarks than papers in any other language. Most users of LIS literature are PhD and postgraduate students.
Originality/value
The study shows that altmetrics can be used as a source of data in information behaviour studies. Reference management software provides an unobtrusive means of capturing reading habits in the scholarly literature. Compared to citation counts, bookmarks are rapidly available and also reflect usage outside the academic community.

Methodological issues in measuring citations in Wikipedia: a case study in Library and Information Science
No full textANALISIS KEISHIKI MEISHI AIDA NI DAN UCHI NI SEBAGAI SINONIM
Get PDFDalam pembelajaran bahasa Jepang, pembelajar bahasa Jepang dihadapi oleh berbagai kendala, salah satunya adalah kosakata yang bersinonim, terutama apabila kata bersinonim tersebut adalah hal yang abstrak. Oleh karena itu, pada penelitian ini penulis menganalisis sepasang kata bersinonim yang termasuk ke dalam jenis kata keishiki meishi. Keishiki meishi sendiri merupakan bagian dari meishi atau kata benda yang menunjukkan hal-hal yang abstrak seperti waktu. Dan keishiki meishi bersinonim yang diteliti penulis adalah aida ni dan uchi ni. Kedua keishiki meishi ini sama-sama memiliki makna “saat” dalam bahasa Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah analisis deskriptif. Dan setelah melakukan analisis terhadap kedua kata tersebut, maka dapat dijelaskan persamaan, perbedaan, dan tingkat probabilitas kedua kata tersebut saling menggantikan. Hasilnya adalah bahwa kosakata aida ni dan uchi ni dapat diartikan sebagai “saat”, “ketika”, “selama” dan “selagi” dalam bahasa Indonesia. Keduanya sama-sama berfungsi sebagai ungkapan yang menunjukkan bahwa sebuah klausa bawahan adalah latar yang sedang berlangsung saat hal yang ditunjukkan klausa inti terjadi. Latar yang ditunjukkan dapat berupa waktu, keadaan atau aktivitas. Aida ni memiliki makna “saat” secara konsisten apabila diikuti oleh semua jenis kata, kecuali kata kerja bentuk -ta yang dapat mengubah makna aida ni menjadi “sebelum” dan kata keterangan yang dapat mengubah makna aida ni menjadi mengikuti makna kata keterangan itu sendiri. Kemudian uchi ni juga memiliki makna “saat” secara konsisten dengan pengecualian apabila diikuti kata kerja bentuk -nai, maka makna uchi ni akan berubah menjadi “sebelum”. Dan dalam situasi tertentu, apabila diikuti sebuah kata sifat, maka makna uchi ni juga dapat berubah menjadi “sebelum”. Sama seperti aida ni, makna uchi ni juga akan mengikuti makna kata keterangan yang mengikutinya. Dan perbedaannya adalah bahwa aida ni merupakan waktu objektif sementara uchi ni dapat menjadi sebuah dorongan. Keduanya dapat saling menggantikan kecuali apabila aida ni diikuti oleh kata kerja bentuk -ta. Oleh karena itu, pergantian kedua kosakata tersebut dalam satu kalimat yang sama akan berdampak terjadinya perubahan makna dan penekanan kalimat tersebut.
In learning Japanese, Japanese learners are faced with various obstacles, one of which is a synonymous vocabulary, especially if the synonymous word is an abstract thing. Therefore, in this research author analysed a pair of synonymous words that belong to the formal noun type of word class. The formal noun itself is a part of a noun which shows abstract things like time. And the synonymous formal nouns that author researched are aida ni and uchi ni. Both of these formal nouns have the same meaning of “saat” in Indonesian. The method used in this research is descriptive-analytic research method. And after analysing the two words, the similarities, differences, and the level of possibility of replacing each other are able to be explained. The result is that the vocabulary of aida ni and uchi ni can be interpreted as “saat”, “ketika”, “selama” and “selagi” in Indonesian. Both function as an expression that indicates a subordinate clause is a setting that is taking place when the thing shown by a main clause occurs. The said setting can be as a time, condition or activity. Aida ni has a consistent meaning of “during” when being followed by all kind of words with the exception if aida ni is followed by verb in -ta that could change the meaning of aida ni to “before” and adverbs can also change the meaning of aida ni to have the same meaning as the said adverbs. Then, uchi ni also has a consistent meaning of “during” with the exception if uchi ni is followed by verb in -nai form, the meaning that uchi ni has will change into “before”. For some cases, if followed by an adjective, the meaning of uchi ni will also turn into “before”. Just like aida ni, the meaning that uchi ni has will also change into the meaning of the adverbs that follows it. And the difference is that aida ni is an objective time while uchi ni can act as a reason. Both can replace one another unless the aida ni is followed by a verb in -ta form. In addition, the replacement of the two vocabularies in the same sentence will cause an impact on the meaning and emphasis of the sentence
A style study of the Apostle Paul’s communication with Festus and Agrippa: The use of literary Koine Greek in Acts 25:14–22; 26:1–29
Get PDFThis article defines style, stylistics and literary koine Greek and analyses the literary koine Greek employed in Luke’s recording of the Apostle Paul’s court case at Caesarea in Acts 25:14– 22; 26:1–29. The principles and methodology in stylistics are explained and an overview of some of the style studies in the last 30 years is made. Paul demonstrates a literary style of Greek when speaking with Festus and Agrippa. Stylistics defines ‘style’ as the choices an author makes (whether conscious or subconscious) amongst linguistic possibilities (usually but not always a choice amongst grammatical possibilities). In grammatical studies, rhetoric is the manner of writing. Style study helps to observe the author’s emphasis, analogies and message, and helps with the appreciation of communication.
