Du local au national, la consolidation démocratique au Brésil
No full textFrom Local to National, the Democratic Consolidation in Brazil.
In the last years of the 20th century, most countries in Latin America made a return to democracy. The practice of regular and plural elections is the most visible sign of this renewal. Brazil, in many aspects, appears as a model of re-democratization in Latin America, not only for adopting the direct universal vote for all levels of political representation, from the Municipal Assemblies to the Presidency of the Republic, but also for its capacity to remove from office a corrupt president on impeachment, and for the practice, recent though it is, of a real political alternation in the country's command. In this article, we investigate the relation between the electoral system and the territory, in a country so vast and with huge economic and social contrasts. The geographical and cartographical analysis of the electoral results allows a better understanding of how the connection between the local and national elections is established.Au cours des dernières années du 20ème siècle, la plupart des pays d'Amérique latine ont renoué avec la démocratie. La tenue d'élections régulières et pluralistes est le signe le plus visible de ce renouveau. Le Brésil apparaît sur bien des points comme un idealtype de la redémocratisation latino-américaine, non seulement avec l'instauration du suffrage universel direct pour tous les niveaux de responsabilité politique, du conseil municipal à la présidence de la République, mais aussi pour sa capacité à mettre en œuvre la procédure de destitution d'un président corrompu, et pour sa pratique, récente il est vrai, de l'alternance politique... On s'interroge ici sur les articulations du système électoral avec le territoire, dans un pays très étendu et contrasté à l'extrême sur les plans économique et social. L'analyse géographique et cartographique des résultats électoraux permet de mieux comprendre comment s'établit la charnière entre les élections locales et les élections nationales.Waniez Philippe, Brustlein Violette, Romero Jacob Cesar, Rodrigues Hees Dora.

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
