Social Work as a feminized profession that intervenes with institutionalized older people. Intersections for analysis
Full text linkEn el estudio sobre la intervención del Trabajo Social con personas mayores en residencias de larga estadía, surge fuertemente la feminización de la vejez, de los cuidados familiares y de las profesiones de cuidado. Fenómenos que deben ser estudiados a la luz de la interseccionalidad; reivindicando a las mujeres como sujetos de enunciación, donde se expresen las diversidades, pero también se logre una unidad que permita luchar contra la opresión de género. La perspectiva poscolonial cuestiona la imposición de la monocultura bio-médica occidental como única o superior y se abre a un diálogo de saberes que incluyen el saber popular y los saberes ancestrales de los pueblos originarios. Lo cual no solamente favorece el intercambio democrático dentro de los equipos de salud, sino también la consideración de las pautas culturales de las personas mayores, como partícipes de la toma de decisiones sobre su vida.Studying Social Work intervention with the elderly in long-stay residences, the feminization of old age, family care and care professions strongly emerge. Phenomena that must be studied in the light of intersectionality; vindicating women as enunciation subjects, where diversities are expressed, but also achieving unity that allows fight against gender oppression. The postcolonial perspective disputes the imposition of the western biomedical monoculture as unique or superior and opens a knowledge dialogue that includes popular knowledge and the ancestral knowledge of native peoples. This not only favors democratic exchange within health teams, but also the consideration of the cultural guidelines of the elderly, as participants in decision-making about their lives
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
Theoretical-methodological plots of social work in the gerontological field
Full text linkEl presente trabajo recorrerá ideas centrales para el análisis del campo gerontológico, desde la perspectiva relacional, presentando los ejes estructuradores del campo. Al mismo tiempo, en el artículo se procurará instalar los debates que el Trabajo Social desarrolla en torno a la dimensión crítica. En esa búsqueda, presentaremos las dimensiones que se hacen presentes en esa criticidad, asociadas a las ideas de Contexto, Práctica / experiencia /intervención, Género / generaciones, Narrativa / discurso, Saber/ poder y Producción de lo público.El texto apela a hacer visibles nuestras paradojas, desarrolladas en los procesos interventivos del Trabajo Social en el campo gerontológico. La búsqueda es ponerle nombre a aquello que nos interpela y alojar a los sujetos que corporizan el paso del tiempo.The present paper will cover main ideas for the analysis of the gerontological field, from the relational perspective, presenting the structuring topics of the field. At the same time, the article will try to install the debates that Social Work develops around the critical dimension. In this search, we will present the dimensions that are present in that criticality, associated with the ideas of Context, Practice / experience / intervention, Gender / generations, Narrative /discourse, Knowledge / power and Production of the public. Thetextinvokes to make visible our paradoxes, developed in the interventive processes of Social Work in the gerontological field.
