Periferias como lugares de (re)existência das mulheres: do corpo à cidade
Full text linkThe article examines how women living in impoverished peripheries with limited access to public support services for care work develop their daily (re)existences in response to the processes of dispossession imposed on their bodies by socioeconomic vulnerability and housing public policies. The research emphasizes the intersection of gender, race, and class in access to the right to the city and the construction of urban space, highlighting the ways in which these women act to mitigate the effects of precarious work, the deprivation of basic rights, the overload of care work, and housing in socio-spatially segregated areas. The article explores the paradoxical role of public housing policies, which function both as a means of access to housing and as a mechanism of control over women's bodies in these territories, restricting their autonomy and mobility within the city. The study adopts an ethnographic approach, employing participant observation, neighborhood walks, women's discussion circles, and field journals as methodological procedures to better understand the everyday forms of (re)existence and city-making practiced by the residents of the Viver Bem Residential Complex, located in the southern periphery of Santa Cruz do Sul/RS. The analysis explores how these women build mutual aid networks as a survival strategy, challenging the state's disciplinary logic. The discussion is framed through feminist and decolonial perspectives on cities and urban space, offering a critique of the universalist notion of the right to the city and advocating for the recognition of plural ways of inhabiting urban territories. The article reflects on how cities should be conceptualized based on the materiality of bodies in the territories they inhabit, incorporating knowledge derived from their concrete experiences and overcoming normative approaches that perpetuate inequalities.O artigo trata de como mulheres moradoras das periferias empobrecidas e menos providas de serviços públicos de apoio ao trabalho de cuidado desenvolvem suas (re)existências cotidianas diante dos processos de espoliação impostos aos seus corpos pela vulnerabilidade socioeconômica e pela política pública habitacional. A pesquisa enfatiza a intersecção entre gênero, raça e classe no acesso ao direito à cidade e na construção do espaço urbano, destacando as formas como essas mulheres atuam para atenuar os efeitos do trabalho precarizado, da subtração de direitos básicos, da sobrecarga do trabalho de cuidados e da habitação em lugares segregados socioespacialmente. É abordado o modo paradoxal de como a política pública habitacional se comporta como meio de acesso à moradia e, ao mesmo tempo, como mais um mecanismo de controle dos corpos femininos nos territórios, restringindo sua autonomia e mobilidade nas cidades. O estudo se aproxima da abordagem etnográfica, contando com a observação participante, as caminhadas pelo bairro, a roda de conversa entre mulheres e os cadernos de campo como procedimentos metodológicos para melhor compreender as formas cotidianas de (re)existir e fazer a cidade das moradoras do Residencial Viver Bem, na periferia sul de Santa Cruz do Sul (RS). São abordadas, ainda, as maneiras como essas mulheres constroem redes de ajuda entre si como estratégia de sobrevivência, desafiando a lógica disciplinadora do Estado. A análise se dá sob perspectivas feministas e decoloniais sobre as cidades e o espaço urbano, trazendo uma crítica à noção universalista do direito à cidade, defendendo a importância de reconhecer os modos plurais de habitar. O artigo leva à reflexão sobre como as cidades devem ser pensadas a partir da materialidade dos corpos nos territórios em que habitam, por meio do conhecimento das suas experiências concretas, superando abordagens normativas que perpetuam desigualdades
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
