Las dinámicas del poder en la educación a distancia y virtual ; Power dynamics in distance and virtual education
Full text linkA medida que se expande, la educación superior tiende a la diferenciación institucional. Sin embargo, en tanto la educación superior se constituye en un campo de relaciones cuyo desarrollo y organización está mediado por las luchas por el poder, la diferenciación —y con ella especialmente la distancia— está determinada por las formas en las cuales se resuelven esas tensiones. En el artículo se analiza, a partir de ese enfoque, el desarrollo de la educación virtual y sus características y limitaciones. Al tiempo que se plantean estas últimas, se visualiza cómo ellas limitan el ejercicio de un nuevo tipo de derechos humanos, aquellos referidos al acceso a la sociedad digital.
As it expands, higher education tends to institutional differentiation. However, while higher education is constituted in a field of relations whose development and organization is mediated by power struggles, differentiation - and with it mainly distance - is determined by the ways in which these tensions are resolved. Based on said approach, this article analyzes the development of virtual education, its characteristics and limitations. The discussion of limitations reveals the way in which they restrict the exercise of a new kind of human rights which refers to access to the digital society.Fil: Rama, Claudio.

La dinámica de lo público y lo privado en la educación superior en América Latina (Del Manifiesto de Córdoba de 1918 a la CRES del 2018) ; The Dynamics of Public and Private in Higher Education in Latin America (From the Córdoba Manifesto of 1918 to the CRES of 2018)
Full text linkDesde aquel movimiento de Córdoba en la Argentina en 1918, que en la educación universitaria en América Latina levantó las banderas de autonomía, cogobierno y participación, hasta su actual centenario, se ha procesado una enorme transformación que tal vez haya construido en parte la universidad postulada por aquellos sueños, pero que hoy está inserta en un sistema de educación superior muy diferente. Entre el movimiento de reforma de 1918 y los movimientos estudiantiles latinoamericanos de 1968, tuvo lugar una fase marcada por una transformación política e institucional asociada a las causas reformistas de Córdoba en la que se impuso lentamente un fuerte cambio en la gestión de las universidades públicas latinoamericanas. Y desde aquellas luchas estudiantiles al momento actual, irrumpió una nueva fase marcada por una gran diferenciación institucional centrada en la expansión de la universidad privada.
Ever since that movement in Cordoba, Argentina, in 1918, which raised the flags of autonomy, cogovernment and participation in university education in Latin America, until its current centennial, an enormous transformation has taken place that may have built in part the university postulated by those dreams, but which today is inserted in a very different system of higher education. Between the reform movement of 1918 and the Latin American student movements of 1968, there was a phase marked by a political and institutional transformation associated with the reformist causes of Córdoba, in which a strong change in the management of Latin American public universities was slowly imposed. And from those student struggles to the present day, a new phase emerged marked by a great institutional differentiation centered on the expansion of the private university.Fil: Rama, Claudio.

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
