Los niños son parte del paisaje: maternidades y circulación infantil en el sur de Chile
Full text linkThis article seeks to contribute to the understanding of the social and political construction of motherhood in recent Chilean history, based on a socio-anthropological approach to child circulation. The work is based on an analysis of the life stories of three rural housewives from the province of Osorno, whose biographies challenge the ideals historically assigned to family arrangements in Chile. Influenced by family-centered and patriarchal mandates, these ideals coincide with a model that privatizes the family unit based on a strict division of gender roles within the domestic sphere and the legitimization of the care and upbringing of children exclusively within those boundaries. In tension with this structure, the life trajectories of these women allow us to explore the daily routine of circulation, the material and cultural conditions that sustain it, and the social importance conferred upon it, in order to identify and analyze specific interpretive frameworks and moral values associated with motherhood in our country.Este artículo busca aportar al conocimiento de los procesos de construcción social y política de las maternidades en la historia chilena reciente, a partir de un abordaje socio-antropológico de la circulación infantil. El trabajo se basa en el análisis de la historia de vida de tres mujeres dueñas de casa campesinas de la provincia de Osorno, cuyas biografías disputan los ideales históricamente asignados a los arreglos familiares en Chile. Atravesados por mandatos familiaristas y patriarcales, dichos ideales coinciden con un modelo que privatiza al núcleo familiar en base a una estricta división de roles de género al interior del espacio doméstico y a la legitimación del cuidado y crianza de los niños y niñas exclusivamente dentro de esos contornos. En tensión con esta estructura, las trayectorias de vida de estas mujeres nos permiten explorar lo cotidiano de la circulación, las condiciones materiales y culturales que la sustentan, y la importancia social que se le confiere, con el fin de identificar y analizar específicos esquemas interpretativos y valores morales asociados al ejercicio materno en nuestro país
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
Sobre trânsitos, esperas e temporalidades: Experiências de mulheres que atuam no acolhimento familiar (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
Full text linkThe aim of this article is to explore the processes of kinship construction in the context of family fostering practices developed by an NGO in the northwestern area of Greater Buenos Aires, Argentina. Based on the fieldwork we carried out with women who currently perform this task, we analyze the ways in which they deal with the assumptions of a normative model of family and thus contribute to tighten or reify the practical and conceptual limits of kinship. From a socio-anthropological perspective, we focus on the meanings of the transitory nature of care, as this allows us to examine and problematize the processes of parental management and the production of family arrangements aimed at redistributing parental status. The transitory nature of this care provided to children temporarily placed in families with whom they have no biological or legal ties represents a core of meaning that leads us to organize the analysis in two specific dimensions: on the one hand, the way in which these women prepare themselves for the moment when they must separate from the children they house and, on the other hand, the possibilities they find to enable the coexistence of different ties that are meaningful to them.El objetivo de este artículo es explorar los procesos de construcción del parentesco en el marco de las prácticas de acogimiento familiar desarrolladas por una ONG en la zona noroeste del Gran Buenos Aires, Argentina. A partir del trabajo de campo que realizamos con mujeres que actualmente ejercen esta tarea, analizamos las formas en que ellas lidian con los presupuestos de un modelo normativo de familia y con ello contribuyen a tensar o reificar los límites prácticos y conceptuales del parentesco. Desde una perspectiva socio- -antropológica, enfocamos en los sentidos sobre la transitoriedad del cuidado ya que ello permite examinar y problematizar los procesos de gestión de la parentalidad y de producción de arreglos familiares orientados a redistribuir status parentales. El carácter transitorio de este cuidado brindado a niños ubicados temporalmente en familias con las cuales no tienen vínculo biológico ni jurídico representa un núcleo de sentido que nos lleva a organizar el análisis en dos dimensiones concretas: por un lado, la forma en que estas mujeres se preparan para el momento en que deben separarse de los niños que alojan y, por otro, las posibilidades que encuentran para habilitar la coexistencia de diversos vínculos significativos para ellos.O objetivo deste artigo é explorar os processos de construção de parentesco no contexto das práticas de acolhimento familiar desenvolvidas por uma ONG na área noroeste da Grande Buenos Aires, Argentina.

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
