The Spanish labor reform by the Argentinean press
No full textEn este artículo se analiza cómo los principales diarios de Argentina (Clarín y La Nación) representaron la reforma laboral española de 2012 y, en particular, las nociones de flexibilización y precarización laboral. En el contexto global actual, donde se han sancionado recientemente reformas laborales o se debaten nuevos cambios: Italia y Francia en Europa; México, Brasil y Argentina en América Latina, resulta interesante analizar, a la luz del caso español, cuáles son los énfasis noticiosos y sentidos privilegiados por los grandes medios, respecto del trabajo, los sindicatos y los derechos laborales.The aim of this article is to analyze how the main Argentine newspapers (Clarín and La Nación) represented the Spanish labor reform of 2012 and, in particular, the concepts of labor flexibilization and precarization. In the current global context, where labor reforms have recently been sanctioned or new changes are being debated: Italy and France in Europe; Mexico, Brazil and Argentina in Latin America, it is interesting to analyze, in the light of the Spanish case, which are the privileged emphases and privileged meanings by the mass media, about labor, unions and labor rights.Fil: Coscia, Vanesa Stella Maris.

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
High Order Adaptively Integrated Cohesive Elements: Development, implementation and testing on composite delamination
No full textComposite delamination represents one of the most critical failure mechanisms occurring in composite structures. In case complex structures are being designed, numerical methods need to be employed. One of the methods to numerically simulate delamination in a Finite Element environment is through the employment of the Cohesive Elements, which embed the theory constituting the Cohesive Zone Model. Nonetheless, the computational time required to assess delamination simulations by implementing the Cohesive Elements is restrictive, because the presence of a strong stress gradient at the crack tip imposes the adoption of a small-size mesh at the same location. In this context, a sensible improvement is deemed to be necessary, such as to promote these methodologies from an instrument used in academia to an effective solution. A novel type of Cohesive Element is here proposed, aiming to loosen the compelling requirement on the mesh size and, by extension, to reduce the computational time required to achieve numerical simulation of composite delamination. The High Oder CE has been validated through comparison with benchmark solutions of delamination processes occurring in Mode I, Mode II and Mixed Mode opening.Aerospace Engineerin
