La política cultural del aborto: Las percepciones y el manejo del aborto en Arica, Chile
No full textChile has a long history of restricting access to legal abortion. Until 2017, when the government passed the law N° 21.030 decriminalizing abortion on three grounds, abortion was completely illegal. However, despite this movement towards decriminalization, legal abortion access is still very limited and highly restricted. In this criminalized, highly stigmatized environment, self-managed abortion has emerged as a way to transform the landscape of abortion. This qualitative, exploratory study seeks to explore perceptions of abortion and practices of abortion management both within and outside of the official healthcare system among women and people with the capacity to become pregnant and primary health care providers in the context of the passage of the law N° 21.030 in 2017 in Arica, Chile. In order to understand this social phenomenon, six qualitative interviews were conducted with participants with personal or professional experience with abortion and then thematically coded. This study suggests the presence of knowledge and stigma barriers limiting access to legal abortions in an already scarce environment. When abortions within the offical healthcare system are accessed, the experience of obstetric violence is common, usually related to providers’ behavior and treatment choices. In an abortion landscape defined by lack of access and violence, self-managed abortion is not a last resort, but rather offers a parallel method of providing safe, effective, and holistic abortion care. The results of this study highlight the need to educate community members and healthcare providers on abortion to improve access to abortion within the healthcare system. There is a clear urgency for the passage of laws to protect people seeking legal abortions from discrimination and violence. Finally, the success of the model of self-managed abortion in providing both safe and person-centered abortions suggests that alternative abortion provision models have the opportunity to expand abortion access and free the abortion discourse from the confines of the medical-legal paradigm. Self-managed abortion should be decriminalized on all grounds to support reproductive justice.
Chile tiene una historia profunda de restringir el acceso al aborto legal. Hasta 2017, cuando el gobierno aprobó la ley N° 21.030 que despenalizó el aborto por las tres causales, el aborto era completamente ilegal. Sin embargo, a pesar de este movimiento hacia la despenalización, el acceso legal al aborto sigue siendo limitado y restringido. En este entorno criminalizado y estigmatizado, el aborto autogestionado ha surgido como una forma de transformar el panorama del aborto. Este estudio cualitativo y exploratorio busca explorar las percepciones del aborto y las prácticas para manejar el aborto tanto dentro como fuera del sistema oficial de salud entre las mujeres y otras personas con capacidad de gestar y los funcionarios la salud en el nivel de la atención primaria en el contexto de la aprobación de la ley N° 21.030 en Arica, Chile. Para entender este fenómeno social, se realizaron seis entrevistas cualitativas con personas con experiencia personal o profesional con el aborto y luego se codificaron temáticamente. Este estudio sugiere la presencia de barreras de conocimiento y estigma que limitan el acceso al aborto legal en un ambiente ya escaso. Cuando se accede a los abortos dentro del sistema médico oficial, la experiencia de la violencia obstétrica es común, generalmente relacionada con el comportamiento de los funcionarios de la salud y sus elecciones de tratamiento. En un entorno del aborto definido por la falta de acceso y la violencia, el aborto autogestionado no es un último recurso, sino que ofrece un método paralelo de proporcionar cuidado del aborto seguro, eficaz, y holístico. Los resultados de este estudio destacan la necesidad de educar a los miembros de la comunidad ariqueña y a los funcionarios de la salud sobre el aborto para mejorar el acceso al aborto dentro del sistema de salud. Existe una urgencia por la aprobación de leyes para proteger a las personas que buscan los abortos legales contra la discriminación y la violencia. Por último, el éxito del modelo del aborto autogestionado en la provisión de los abortos seguros sugiere que modelos alternativos de la provisión del aborto tienen la oportunidad de ampliar el acceso al aborto y liberar el discurso del aborto de los confines del paradigma médico-legal. El aborto autogestionado debe ser despenalizado por todos los motivos para apoyar la justicia reproductiva

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
