Analysis of the perceived value of the users of the electric energy service of the unregulated market in companies of the city of Bogotá D.C.
Full text linkilustraciones, diagramasEl propósito de esta investigación fue analizar los componentes del valor percibido en los usuarios del servicio de energía eléctrica del mercado no regulado de la ciudad de Bogotá Colombia, a través de la exploración, descripción y análisis orientado a los elementos que generan valor para el usuario del servicio, con base en las teorías de diferentes autores que plantean dimensiones de la variable en estudio. Esta investigación tuvo un enfoque cualitativo, de carácter inductivo, donde se emplearon 2 instrumentos de medición que fueron: entrevista a profundidad a cargos directivos o gerenciales de diferentes organizaciones de gran consumo de energía y cuestionarios de valoración por jueces a expertos del sector energético, específicamente en la venta de energía a través de comercializadoras. (Texto tomado de la fuente)The purpose of this research was to analyze the components of the perceived value in the
users of the electric power service of the unregulated market of the city of Bogotá Colombia,
through the exploration, description and analysis oriented to the elements that generate
value for the user. of the service, based on the theories of different authors who propose
dimensions of the variable under study. This research had a qualitative approach, of an
inductive nature, where 2 measurement instruments were used, which were: in-depth
interview with executive or managerial positions of different organizations with large energy
consumption and evaluation questionnaires by judges to experts from the energy sector,
specifically in the sale of energy through distributors.
The information processing was carried out in the Atlas Ti software until the category
saturation point was reached, where the networks and correlation of each code that
emerged were analyzed, the results show the main relationships between codes and
categories that represent the perceived value for the users of the energy service, in this
way the variable is integrated and described for this research, the analysis of the variable
was also carried out based on the results of the categories per hermeneutic unit, so that in
the chapter discussion, the literature is contrasted with the findings and assessment of the
judges.MaestríaMagister en AdministraciónGestión de mercado
Vínculos entre la enseñanza de la física y la epistemología: el caso de la probabilidad
Full text linkLuego de algunas consideraciones sobre la relación entre la epistemología general y la filosofía de la física, se exponen diferentes interpretaciones del cálculo de probabilidades y sus aplicaciones a la física. Se pretende una aproximación a los diferentes significados atribuidos a la probabilidad en los últimos siglos. El artículo está orientado a docentes e investigadores dedicados a la enseñanza de la física.Beginning with some considerations on the relation between general epistemology and philosophy of physics, different interpretations of the calculus of probability and its applications to physics are exposed. An approximation to the different meanings attributed to probability in the last centuries is intended. The article is oriented to teachers and researchers in the teaching of physics.Fil: Rodriguez, Victor Ruben. Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.

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
The quantum Hall effect and its contexts
No full textEn este artículo, se atienden ciertas facetas conceptuales y experimentales del efecto Hall cuántico. Se argumenta que el mismo ofrece variados matices para la reflexión filosófica, desde la generación de entidades teóricas hasta la epistemología de la experimentación. La exposición pretende mantener cierta sensibilidad por la dinámica histórica en torno del tema, como así también por las implicaciones metrológicas de ámbitos cuánticos específicos. Dada la enorme producción científica sobre el tema, se hace un recorte a los fines de rescatar algunos perfiles significativos de los fenómenos asociados con ese efecto.In this paper we address several conceptual and historical aspects of the quantum Hall effect. We argue that this effect offers a variety of perspectives for philosophical reflection, from the generation of theoretical entities to the epistemology of experimentation. The exposition attempts to maintain a certain sensitivity to the historical dynamics around the issue, considering at the same time its metrological implications for specific quantum areas. Given the vast scientific literature on the subject, a cut is made in order to rescue some meaningful profiles of the phenomena associated with this effect.Fil: Rodriguez, Victor Ruben.
