Carreras extensas y problemas de inserción en Ingeniería
Get PDFThis article seeks to relate the interruptions and extension of the university studies with the lack of interest in obtaining the degree within the corresponding time, on the one hand, and, on the other, with the conditions of employment and the characteristics of the industry sectors where these professionals are demanded. The delay in obtaining the degree seems to go against the requests for a profession like civil engineering, since its practice requires a degree due to the liability it implies. The study of engineers’ story lives allows to identify three interrelated factors that explain the educational paths with periods of interruptions, the extent of the careers longer than the average and unsatisfactory professional experiences. The first factor is of an educational and institutional character, while the second one relates to the economic context and the labor market. Both of them have an impact on the third factor: the depreciation of the qualifications. This last one means that assuring the obtainment of the degree is not reflected in significant achievements at work and the degree does not guarantee a defined position in the professional labor market.El artículo busca relacionar las situaciones de interrupciones y prolongación de los estudios universitarios con el desinterés por la obtención de la titulación en los plazos correspondientes y con las condiciones de empleo y las características de los sectores demandantes de los profesionales. Esta situación parece ir en sentido contrario de los requerimientos laborales de una profesión como la ingeniería civil, ya que la regulación requiere de un título habilitante debido a la responsabilidad civil que conlleva su actividad. El estudio de los relatos biográficos de los ingenieros civiles permite identificar tres factores que interrelacionados explican las trayectorias de formación con períodos de interrupciones, la duración de carrera más elevada que el promedio y los recorridos profesionales insatisfactorios. El primero es de carácter educativo-institucional, el segundo es de contexto económico y de mercado de trabajo, y ambos redundan en una inclinación hacia la desvalorización de la titulación. Esta última significa que la obtención del título no se traduce linealmente en logros significativos a nivel laboral y que el diploma no asegura una posición definida en el mercado de trabajo profesional
Varones y mujeres en Ingeniería. Recorrido Laborales en clave de género
No full textEl presente artículo es un avance en el conocimiento del perfil profesional de las graduadas de ingeniería. Aporta datos empíricos y retoma las voces de las protagonistas para dar cuenta de las especificidades de sus recorridos profesionales.Se presenta una primera comparación entre las trayectorias biográficas de varones y mujeres,a partir del análisis de los itinerarios de los graduados de las carreras de ingeniería civil e industrial.Se trata de una de las líneas temáticas en las que el equipo del Laboratorio viene trabajando y resulta de especial interés ya que si bien en la Argentina se observa hace varias décadas un aumento importante de la matrícula femenina en la educación superior, este incremento es diferenciado según carreras. Aquellas consideradas tradicionalmente masculinas como las ingenierías siguen siendo de su dominio.Fil: Iavorski Losada, Ivana. Universidad Tecnológica Nacional.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
