Estudio sobre la brecha de salarios entre hombres y mujeres en Panamá. 2005-2015.
Panama is one of the Latin American countries where income disparity between men and women has been reduced in recent years. This was revealed by the IDB report "New century, Old disparities: Gender and ethnic wage gaps in Latin America" published in 2012. When analyzing the average income in the last 11 years at the country level, it appears that this gap tends to close. However, when analyzing the gap by occupational category is evident that, in some cases, there are large disparities.This study uses published data from the household survey, to analyze the gaps per year for each of the occupations defined by the National Classification of Occupations; evaluate the trend of average wages of men and women through simple regression models and estimate the year in which the gap could be closed.Panamá es uno de los países de América Latina en los que la disparidad de ingresos entre hombres y mujeres se ha reducido en los últimos años. Así lo revela el informe del BID (7) “Nuevo siglo, viejas disparidades: Brecha salarial por género y etnicidad en América Latina” publicado en el 2012. Al analizar los salarios promedio de los últimos 11 años a nivel del país, se observa que dicha brecha tiende a cerrase. Sin embargo, al analizar la brecha por categoría de ocupación se evidencian, en algunos casos, grandes disparidades. Con base en los datos publicados de la encuesta de hogares, en este estudio se analizan las brechas por año para cada una de las ocupaciones definidas por la Clasificación Nacional de Ocupaciones; se evalúa la tendencia de los salarios promedios de hombres y mujeres a través de modelos de regresión simple y se estima el año en que dicha brecha podría cerrarse

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
“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
We 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
We 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
We 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
