2025, Theoretical Inquiries in the Archive

In the past decades, post-structuralist and deconstructive scholars have engaged with the epistemological instabilities of the archive, yet few have reckoned with the most radical of these instabilities: the possibility of an archive that erases itself. This paper examines the elusive yet foundational contributions of Grégoire de Moncade, a semiotician whose work—particularly Margins Without Center (1982) and The Perforated Archive (1974)—explores the paradox of recursive citation, bibliographic instability, and the conditions under which texts vanish through their own reproduction. Situating Moncade within the broader discourse of Derridean deconstruction, archival science, and poststructuralist historiography, this study reintroduces his neglected yet prescient insights into contemporary debates on citation, textual authority, and intellectual disappearance.

Considering the necessity of uniformity and consistency in the structures of abstracts and also increasing their precision, correctness, and exhaustivity, this research aims to investigate the adherence to abstracting standards (ISO 214) in Persian abstracts of general medicine theses in Arak University of Medical Sciences during 1999-2008. Methods: This applied descriptive study reviewed all theses registered in the central library of Arak University of Medical Sciences and finally, selected 328 theses as the statistical population. In order to prepare the required standards and also to determine the consistency of the theses with abstracting standards, the original text of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in abstracting and its translated Persian text were studied. A checklist designed based on ISO abstracting standards was used for data collection. The validity and reliability of the checklist were confirmed by the experts. Data analysis was performed in SPSS software. The results were shown as frequency, percentage and chi-square indices. The highest rate of adherence to including bibliographic information was seen in 2005 (48 abstracts (16.4%)). However, the findings and secondary results were not mentioned in any abstracts. The findings of chi-square test showed that except "purpose", there was a significant difference in the adherence to the standards in different years. Conclusion: Adherence to form-related abstracting standards (ISO 214) e.g. research results, preserving the main information of the theses, etc. was acceptable. However, content abstracting standards including purpose, findings, etc. were not adequetly deployed.

Since Swales definition of genres as social actions characterized by rhetorical purposes, move analysis has been widely considered part of genre analysis. Most famous are Swales CARS-model of introductions of research articles (Swales 1990, revised in Swales 2004) and Bhatia’s move analysis of sales letters (Bhatia 1998), based upon the AIDA-model advocated by the practitioners in the discourse community of sales communication. Skulstad (1996), Gillaerts (1996, 2003), among others, have followed Bhatia in applying move analysis to business genres, like the chairman’s statement in annual reports and letters of application. Recently, De Groot (2008; see also Nickerson/De Groot 2005 for CEO’s letters) has incorporated move analysis in a wider genre analysis of annual reports, more specifically of management statements, corporate profiles and operational reviews.

The main purpose of the network has been to share information and experiences on academic language use in the Scandinavian countries in educational settings and in research, but of equal importance is to identify common issues and interests within the field and to benefit from joint efforts in language resource development and research. In May 2016, the LU-NAS network organized a large international conference at the University of Copenhagen on academic language use and academic literacies from a multilingual perspective in Nordic educational contexts. The articles presented in this volume show some of the results of the cooperation within the LUNAS network since 2013, but also present research from invited guests and other researchers interested in these topics. As a result of the Scandinavian collaboration, the need for carrying out research on large collections of academic texts has been outlined. All three countries have now compiled large corpora of academic texts, although the corpora differ somewhat in size and balance. For instance, while the Norwegian and the Danish corpora are composed of texts from a wide range of disciplines, the Swedish corpus has a preponderance of texts from the humanities and social science. Apart from corpora, monolingual Norwegian and Swedish academic word lists have been extracted using diverse state-of-the art statistically-based methods in language technology and corpus linguistics. In addition, a monolingual Danish academic word list and a bilingual Norwegian-Swedish academic word list are in the process of being established by researchers from the LUNAS group. The preconditions for studying academic language have varied across the Scandinavian countries, and this has influenced the research carried out in the [2] fjeld, hagen, henriksen, johansson, olsen & prentice OSLa volume 9(3), 2017 project groups. Research in Norway has focused on the development of a corpus and lexical resources. A similar focus has guided the research in Sweden, as well as several ongoing research projects in pedagogical and educational topics relevant to academic language use. In Denmark, no academic corpus was available at the onset of the LUNAS project, and the main research focus in the field of academic language had previously been on education in academic English as a second language. These different perspectives are reflected in this volume of collected papers, which, as a result, consists of three different parts: one with a focus on the pedagogical challenges and educational perspectives, one with a focus on the linguistic perspectives and one more generally related to describing academic language with varying approaches. [2] this volume This volume gives a sample of ongoing research in the field of language use in Nordic academic settings. The selection of papers is based on contributions to the conference at the University of Copenhagen in May 2016. The review processes were conducted by inviting a selection of conference participants to submit a contribution to this volume. Each paper was reviewed by two expert researchers in the field. Papers with minor or moderate revision suggestions were accepted for publication.

The education sector has increasingly been involved in informing learners about the issue of climate change (Reid, 2019), given that this issue represents an existential threat to young people and, generally, to the human race (Sears, 2020). The education sector has responded to the urgency of climate change by proposing the notion of "climate change education". It can be defined as the process of learning in the face of climate change-related risks and uncertainty (Stevenson et al., 2017). Climate change education is argued to aim at raising primary and secondary school students' awareness of climate change and its consequences (Tang, 2024). Climate change education is embraced by the education sector in a number of Nordic countries, in particular, Norway (Seikkula-Leino et al., 2021). In Norway, for instance, climate change education seems to fall within the scope of The Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training (henceforth-The Directorate), which is responsible for the governance of the education sector from kindergarten to secondary school (Kapranov, 2021). To-date, however, there is no published research on how climate change education is represented in The Directorate's curriculum documents that pertain to pre-primary, primary, and secondary school curricula. Seeking to bridge the current research gap, the article presents a study that looks into this underresearched aspect by means of analysing a corpus of The Directorate's curriculum documents available on its official homepage https://www.udir.no/. The corpus of The Directorate's curriculum documents is investigated in the study by applying an approach to content analysis developed by Krippendorff (2004). The results of the content analysis indicate that climate change education appears to be represented in the corpus in a rather disproportionate manner. Specifically, climate change education is addressed, predominantly, in the curriculum documents in sciences in upper secondary school, whereas it is substantially underrepresented in curriculum documents on pre-primary and primary school levels. These and other findings are further discussed in the article. The

Traditional citation analysis is confined to tracing and counting of citations and does not provide the context in which scholarly works have been cited. Further, past literature lacks sectional analysis of citations in scholarly works. These limitations can be overcome by using Citation Context Analysis (CCA) and Sectional Citation Analysis (SCA). CCA can be employed in assessing the real research impact of scholarly literature by examining whether the cited scholarly works have been simply reported or supported or challenged. SCA throws light on the various sections of publications in which the scholarly works have been cited. Our study illustrated this by using scholarly literature on Meniere’s Disease (MD) as a case. The analysis of contextual citation data of 7141 publications collected from Scite.ai showed a steady chronological growth in supporting, contrasting and mentioning cites. The domination of “mentioning cites” indicated increasing research engagement. The exponential growth of supporting as well as contrasting citations illustrated greater acceptance and discourse on the topic. Interdisciplinary nature of research is evident through substantial number of citations found in “other” section. Contextual analysis of citations helps to unravel the complex linkages between scholarly works. CCA needs further exploration to re-evaluate the existing research assessment techniques.

One of the critical skills that undergraduate students of English as a Foreign language (EFL) should master involves their ability to write an argumentative essay, which is adequately supported by credible sources, such as scientific articles, books, and online materials. Arguably, a successful argumentative essay reflects EFL students' genre-appropriate citation practices that, according to Swales (1990), involve several discursive realisations of citation (for instance, integral, non-integral, etc.) in the text. The article presents a study whose aim is to learn about citation and referencing practices in a corpus of argumentative essays written by a group of undergraduate EFL students on the upper-intermediate level of proficiency (henceforth-participants). Anchored in the theoretical framework developed by Swales (1986, 1990), the participants' citation and referencing practices in the corpus were identified and quantified. The results of the quantitative analysis revealed that the participants preferred the non-integral type of citation, in which the author/authors cited are mentioned at the end of the citation in the parentheses. The participants' referencing practices were found to be dominated by books and book chapters published by a number of reputable domestic publishing houses.

2024, Writing & Pedagogy

This article is based on the idea that there is latent storytelling already in proposals. It explores the various ways in which storytelling functions as a pedagogical model of teaching the writing of proposals in business and technical writing courses. The central premise is that stories, like proposals, are forms of discourse that place events sequentially from beginning to end with meaningful and graspable connections in between. Stories take (identified) audiences into account by being selective of events that are carefully rearranged and described through composites of scenarios and characters. This article explores those storytelling patterns in theory and in practice. It aims to enhance the perspective of teaching proposal writing by calling attention to a seemingly inconsequential or unrelated notion-storytelling.

Technologies such as virtual reality (VR), online databases, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Building Information Modelling (BIM), Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), 4D Computer-Aided Design (4D CAD), wearable robotics have been adopted to improve construction site health and safety. However, little attempt has been made to map global research on construction health and safety technologies. Therefore, this paper conducts a review of technologies for construction health and safety management to reveal emerging research trends. A bibliometric review adopting a two-step literature selection method was conducted to compile relevant publications from the Scopus database. In total, 240 related papers were examined. VOSviewer was used to develop a co-occurrence network based on the bibliographic data obtained. The analysis focused on co-authorship per country, country/ region distribution, the number of publications annually, publication source and source and trend of research topics. Findings revealed that emerging trends in construction health and safety technologies research focused on project health and safety design and planning, visualisation and image processing for construction projects, digital technologies for project monitoring, information management and Internet of Things, automation and robotic systems, health and safety and accident prevention and structure evaluation.

Background Research theses can have a significant impact on the development of applied sciences, especially when their results are published. Objective This study aims to determine publication rate of papers extracted from the medical residency and master's degree theses of Guilan University of Medical Sciences (GUMS) during 2008-2018. Methods This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. The data were collected from the medical residency and master's degree theses of GUMS from 2008 to 2018. Then, they were searched in international and national databases according to the title, keywords, and names of supervisors, advisors, and students. Results Of 774 theses, 449 (58 %) papers had been extracted and published in journals indexed by ISI/ PubMed (41.2%), Scopus (11.8%), BIOSIS, Chemical Abstract, and Embase (0.44%) and others (46.56%). Most of them (98.66%) were original research. Moreover, in 383(85.3%) of the theses, there was no statistician or data advisor. The median time from defending theses to the publication of a paper from them was two years. Conclusion The publication of papers extracted from the theses of GUMS has increased, and more than 50% of them have been published in journals indexed by ISI, PubMed, and Scopus. However, the factors associated with the publication of papers need to be surveyed.

Network approaches can be used to study how disciplinary knowledge is created, and how knowledge production draws on aspects of academic writings such as citations and co-authorship. In this chapter we introduce common concepts and techniques for the study of knowledge networks, how they can be applied more creatively than they currently are, and why their study matters. We rst introduce bibliometrics and the formal network techniques frequently used for the formal study of knowledge ows in academic communities. In the second section, we illustrate the importance of appropriate data selection strategies in light of custom bibliometric research questions, and critically assess the way in which bibliometrics is used to speak to often-invisible power structures in knowledge production. Finally, we o er our wish list for the future of knowledge network study in archaeology. What do these techniques have to o er archaeologists, and what can the alignment of network science and archaeology tell us about the creation of knowledge across academia?

2023, C. Desoutter & C. Mellet (eds), Le discours rapporté : approches linguistiques et perspectives didactiques

Les références aux travaux d’autrui sont une caractéristique saillante, voire constitutive, de l’article de recherche, car elles permettent à l’auteur de se positionner dans la littérature du domaine et aussi de promouvoir sa propre recherche. Lorsque le chercheur est amené à rédiger dans une langue étrangère, cependant, des différences linguistiques et culturelles dans la gestion des citations peuvent être source de problèmes. La présente étude contrastive examine les difficultés rencontrées par les chercheurs francophones rédigeant en anglais. Dans ce but, trois corpus ont été constitués : des manuscrits prépublication rédigés en anglais par des francophones, des articles publiés par des chercheurs anglophones, et des publications de recherche en français. Les résultats font apparaître trois séries de problèmes récurrents qui concernent l’identification du positionnement de l’énonciateur : l’emploi des verbes et noms introducteurs, l'emploi des marqueurs évidentiels (selon/according to), et l'emploi du conditionnel. Des exercices de repérage et de remédiation sont proposés.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar los índices aédicos y establecer el nivel de riesgo para la transmisión de dengue, chikungunya y zika en "Barrio Ajuro", municipio Heres del estado Bolívar, Guayana Venezolana. En agosto de 2016, se examinaron todos los posibles criaderos de Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae) encontrados en los alrededores de las viviendas de dicha comunidad. Se evaluaron 160 (87,4%) de las 183 viviendas de la comunidad. En 154 (96,3%) de estas casas se encontraron recipientes susceptibles de contener agua (posibles criaderos de Aedes). Se encontraron 11.150 recipientes susceptibles de actuar como criaderos, de ellos 3.760 (33,7%) contenían agua. Se encontró un total de 88 casas con al menos un recipiente con larvas y/o pupas de A. aegypti, siendo el total de recipientes positivos de 142. Una gran cantidad y variedad de recipientes sirvieron como criaderos pero hubo preferencia (p < 0,05) por los cauchos abandonados. Se capturaron 6.756 estadios inmaduros de Culicidae (6.289 larvas y 467 pupas). De ellas, 6.695 fueron identificadas como pertenecientes al género Aedes (6.684 eran A. aegypti y 11 A. albopictus) y 61 a Culex. El índice de vivienda fue de 55%, el de recipientes de 3,8% y el índice de Breteau de 88,8%. En conclusión, considerando el resultado de los índices aédicos calculados, la comunidad se encuentra en alto riesgo para la transmisión de dengue y por extensión de los virus chikungunya y zika.

The citation analysis is the central focus of metric studies, may it be bibliometrics, scientometrics or informetrics. It deals with objects received citations in due course of time. But there are huge chunk of academic items receiving no citation years after years and remaining beyond the veil of ignorance of the academic audience. These are known as uncited items. Now, the question is, why a paper fails to get citation? The attribute of incapability of receiving citation may be termed as Uncitedness. This paper traces brief history of the concept of uncitedness sprouted first in 1964 in an article entitled Cybernetics, homeostasis and a model of disease by Gerson Jacobs. The concept of uncitedness was scientometrically first explained by Garfield in 1970. The uncitedness of twelve esteemed Indian physics and astronomy journals over a twelve years' (2009-2020) time span is analysed here. Besides Uncitedness Factor (UF), three other indicators are introduced here, viz. Citation per paper per Year (CY), h-core Density (HD) and Time-normalised h-index (TH). The journal-wise variational patterns of these four indicators, i.e. UF, CY, HD and TH and the relationships of UF with other three indicators are analysed. The calculated numerical values of these indicators are observed to formulate seven hypotheses, which are tested by F-Test method. The average annual rate of change of uncited paper is found 67% of total number of papers. The indicator CY is found temporally constant. The indicator HD is found nearly constant journal-wise over the entire time span, while the indicator TH is found nearly constant for all journals. The UF inversely varies with CY and TH for the journals and directly varies with TH over the years. Except few highly reputed Indian journals in physics and astronomy, majority other journals face the situation of uncitedness. The uncitedness of Indian journals in this field outshines the same for global journals by 12%, which indicates lack of circulation and timely reach of research communication to the relevant audience.

Even as we advance the frontiers of physics knowledge, our understanding of how this knowledge evolves remains at the descriptive levels of Popper and Kuhn. Using the American Physical Society (APS) publications data sets, we ask in this paper how new knowledge is built upon old knowledge. We do so by constructing year-to-year bibliographic coupling networks, and identify in them validated communities that represent different research fields. We then visualize their evolutionary relationships in the form of alluvial diagrams, and show how they remain intact through APS journal splits. Quantitatively, we see that most fields undergo weak Popperian mixing, and it is rare for a field to remain isolated/undergo strong mixing. The sizes of fields obey a simple linear growth with recombination. We can also reliably predict the merging between two fields, but not for the considerably more complex splitting. Finally, we report a case study of two fields that underwent repeated merging and splitting around 1995, and how these Kuhnian events are correlated with breakthroughs on Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC), quantum teleportation, and slow light. This impact showed up quantitatively in the citations of the BEC field as a larger proportion of references from during and shortly after these events.

Background & Aim: Identifying the weaknesses and strengths of nursing and midwifery articles using analytical and critique methods is important for knowledge generation and exploitation. This research aimed to perform a quantitative content analysis of nursing/midwifery articles in the last decade. Methods: In order to analyze content of nursing/midwifery articles in the last decade quantitatively, year 2009 was selected randomly. Among 188 articles that published in that year, 168 articles were evaluated according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The analysis tool was based on Burns & Grove (2007). Variables such as author characteristics, title, type of study, introduction, review of literature, abstract, statement of problem, goals, assumptions, variables, framework, research design, findings, discussion and conclusion and reference were analyzed statistically. Results: From a subject point of view, most of the articles were clinical study (38.1%). Most of the articles (83.3%) had structural abstract. The non-reported variables included: critique and analysis of literature (90.5%), research framework (89.9%), sampling method (23.7%), consent obtaining (28.6%) and validity and reliability (43.4%). Discussion and conclusion section of the articles was in a favorable status. The average total number of references used in nursing/midwifery articles was 23.72. Conclusion: The nursing/midwifery articles published in medical journals had a relatively favorable status. However, most of the articles had problems in methodology and in some cases, such as the research framework, critique and review of the literature, more accuracy is necessary.

Introduction. This paper reports on an interview-based citation behaviour study, part of a wider study of trust in information resources, investigating why researchers chose to cite particular references in one of their publications. Their motivations are explored, with an emphasis on whether they regarded the reference as an authoritative and trustworthy source, and, if so, to what extent and why. Method. Semi-structured critical incident interviews were carried out with eighty-seven researchers from the UK and the USA. Analysis. The answers were analysed using qualitative techniques and then grouped under descriptive headings of the types of reasons for citation provided. These were then used to create a table of these types of reason and the frequency of their use. Results. The motivations for citing were found to be complex and multi-faceted but, in nearly all cases, researchers do regard the authority and trustworthiness of the cited source as an important factor in choosing to...

2023, Journal of Informetrics

Prior investigations have offered contrasting results on a troubling question: whether the alphabetical ordering of bylines confers citation advantages on those authors whose surnames put them first in the list. The previous studies analyzed the surname effect at publication level, i.e. whether papers with the first author early in the alphabet trigger more citations than papers with a first author late in the alphabet. We adopt instead a different approach, by analyzing the surname effect on citability at the individual level, i.e. whether authors with alphabetically earlier surnames result as being more cited. Examining the question at both the overall and discipline levels, the analysis finds no evidence whatsoever that alphabetically earlier surnames gain advantage. The same lack of evidence occurs for the subpopulation of scientists with very high publication rates, where alphabetical advantage might gain more ground. The field of observation consists of 14,467 scientists in the sciences.

2023, Theories of Informetrics and Scholarly Communication

In his essay "Semiotics and Evaluative Bibliometrics", Blaise Cronin discusses the implications of a tight link between research funding and citation analysis. He calls attention to a marketplace for a new species of sign-the citation (Cronin, 2000)-and suggests that semiotics offers the bibliometric community a suite of supra-disciplinary tools to "develop greater sensitivity to the variable symbolic significance of the signs they routinely manipulate and treat as quasi-objective indicators of quality, impact and esteem" (p. 450). This chapter aims to honor and further develop this perspective. I explore to what extent a semiotic approach may enable us to better understand the "constitutive effects" of performance indicators (Dahler-Larsen, 2013) and how this perspective can further contribute to a more inclusive attitude to the problem of citation theory (Nicolaisen, 2007). Before recapitulating the key elements of Cronin's (2000) argument, we need to clarify what we mean by semiotics. It is usually presented as the science of signs (Eco, 1976), but can perhaps better be summarized as the systematic scholarly analysis of sign systems. Eco's (1976) definition of a sign is straightforward: "Everything that, on the grounds of a previously established social convention, can be taken as something standing for something else" (cf. Walker, 2014, p. 317). Semiotics has developed two different mainstream approaches, one developed by the father of structuralist linguistics, Ferdinand de Saussure (Day, 2005) (who used the term 'semiology'), and the other by the inventor of pragmatist philosophy, Charles Sanders Peirce (James, 1898). Saussure's thinking is firmly within the domain of the symbolic and focuses on structural motifs and differential inter-textual positions. Its analysis is confined to relations among signifiers and signifieds, and since signifieds are conceptual in nature, they too are part of the linguistic system. They are meanings, not actual objects of reference (Keane, 2003, p. 412). Peirce is interested in the link between signs and real world objects, based on his pragmatist philosophy. Consequently, both define the concept of "sign" rather differently. For de Saussure, the radical separation of the word and the world is fundamental (Irvine, 1989). Peirce, on the contrary, places as central the linkages between sign vehicles and real world objects. Given Cronin's interest in contributing to citation theory and making the link between citations and research behavior, it is not surprising that he adopted Peirce's approach. For Cronin (2000), the usefulness of semiotics is evident: "What, after all, are references and citations if not signaling devices?" (Cronin, 2000, p. 440). However, this obvious fact is "all too easily overlooked", by which Cronin meant that he had overlooked it himself in his previous work on the citation process (Cronin,

The advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) has triggered a digital transformation across several industries, including the project management (PM) profession. To achieve competitive advantages, construction industry employers must now utilise technology and data for strategy development, project execution, and delivery. This study reviews the concept of PM through research published on the Elsevier Scopus database from 2010 to date using a sequence of bibliometric analyses. Keywords such as “project management” AND “project management tools” AND “project management techniques” AND “construction industry” AND “built environment” were used for article extraction. VOSviewer, a text-mining tool, was used to analyse the bibliometric connection in PM research within the built environment discipline. Through the sequencing of cluster analysis, the findings revealed that research focus is placed on sustainable development (SD), construction safety (CS), engineering education (EE),...

El objetivo de la presente investigación fue evaluar las potencialidades del control biológico de peces y copépodos sobre mosquitos (Diptera: Culicidae) de importancia higiénica-sanitaria en la provincia Villa Clara, Cuba. Los principales criaderos permanentes de culícidos de los 13 municipios con que cuenta la provincia Villa Clara, Cuba fueron muestreados, con el objetivo de evaluar alternativas de control biológico. Los resultados mostraron que las especies de mosquitos mejor representados y distribuidas en la provincia correspondieron a Anopheles albimanus, chlerotatus mediovittata, O. taeniorhynchus, Psorophora confinnis, Culex quinquefasciatus y C. nigripalpus. En cuanto a los peces: Gambusia punctata, Girardinus metallicus, Poecilia reticulata, Limia vittata y Nandopsis tetracanthus fueron los mejor representados. Se corroboró in vitro, que el copépodo Mesocyclops aspericornis es capaz de depredar eficientemente a las larvas de C. quinquefasciatus. El análisis de efectividad ...

El objetivo de esta investigación fue identificar la entomofauna de mosquitos de las provincias Sancti Spíritus y Villa Clara, Cuba. Se muestrearon ecosistemas fluviales las cuales constituyen los sitios de descanso, ovipostura y cría de los mosquitos; recipientes artificiales en desuso; registros/archivos pasivos y mapas existentes en las unidades provinciales. La investigación abarcó un periodo de 16 años (1999-2014). Se identificaron un total de 34 especies de mosquitos (49,27%) distribuidas en nueve géneros en la provincia Sancti Spíritus, mientras que en Villa Clara, la cifra ascendió a 43 especies (62,31%) distribuidas en 15 géneros, todo esto, teniendo en cuenta las 69 especies de mosquitos registradas para Cuba. La similaridad cualitativa de la entomofauna entre Santi Spíritu y Villa Clara fue del 60,42%. Las especies más frecuentes en ambas provincias fueron: Anopheles albimanus, Culex quinquefasciatus, Cx. nigripalpus y Psorophora confinnis. Los resultados

En República Dominicana tienen especial interés, dada su gran relevancia médica, las enfermedades transmitidas por mosquitos. La presente investigación profundiza sobre la diversidad de los culícidos existentes en el municipio de Jarabacoa, a fin de actualizar la información sobre estos dípteros y sus principales sitios de cría, naturales y artificiales. Para tal cometido, se procedió a la búsqueda activa de formas preimaginales mediante la técnica del dipper; se utilizaron pipetas plásticas para muestrear en reservorios de pequeño tamaño. La identificación se llevó a cabo mediante la utilización de lupa binocular y microscopio, con la ayuda de claves taxonómicas específicas. Se capturaron 16 especies pertenecientes a los géneros Aedes Meigen, 1818, Anopheles Meigen, 1818, Culex Linnaeus, 1758, Toxorhynchites Theobald, 1901, Uranotaenia Lynch Arribálzaga, 1891 y Wyeomyia Theobald, 1901, sobre las que se analizaron diversas cuestiones acerca de su bioecología y su papel en la transmi...

The uncitedness of twelve Indian physics and astronomy journals over twelve years (2009-2020) time span is analysed here. Besides Uncitedness Factor (UF), three other indicators are discussed, viz., Time-normalized Citation per paper (CY), H-core Density (HD) and Time-normalised H-index (TH). The journal-wise variational patterns of these four indicators, i.e., UF, CY, HD and TH and the relationships of UF with the other three indicators are analysed. The calculated numerical values of these indicators are observed to formulate seven hypotheses, which are tested by the F-Test method. The average annual rate of change of uncited paper is found to be 67% of the total number of papers. The indicator CY is found temporally constant. The indicator HD is found to be nearly constant journal-wise over the entire time span, while the indicator TH is found to be nearly constant for all the journals. The UF inversely varies with CY and TH for the journals and directly varies with TH over the years. Except for a few Indian journals in physics and astronomy, the majority of the other journals face the situation of uncitedness. The uncitedness of Indian journals in this field is higher by 12% as compared to foreign journals in the same field, which indicates a possible poor circulation of the journals.

This study is an exploratory investigation into the citation patterns in the field of Information Retrieval. Preliminary findings are based on a comparison of self-citation rates in JASIST, a leading journal in Information Retrieval, and a journal in an unrelated field. Although the sample size is small, the preliminary results suggest that there may be irregularities in the self-citation rates among Information Retrieval authors. The exploratory study found that self-citation rate in JASIST is nearly three times that of a journal in an unrelated field. Further study with a more robust sample is warranted to confirm the findings herein and to shed light on the motivations for self-citations.

Se realizó una investigación sobre sistemas y servicios de salud para evaluar la calidad de la ejecución del Programa de Vigilancia y Control de Otros Culícidos en las áreas de salud "XX Aniversario" y "Armando García Aspurú" del municipio de Santiago de Cuba, en el período 2009-2010. El universo estuvo constituido por 28 criaderos naturales, 10 puntos de captura específica, 11 prestadores y 60 usuarios. Las dimensiones estudiadas fueron la calidad científico-técnica (competencia profesional) y la satisfacción de prestadores y usuarios. La evaluación de la estructura reveló que fue inadecuada por déficit de personal especializado (50,0 %), por la ausencia del programa y por la escasa disponibilidad de pilas y cucharones carter; la del proceso, por baja competencia profesional e incumplimientos de tratamientos biológicos y físicos; la de los resultados, por insatisfacción con las actividades de capacitación (81,1 %) y por déficit de recursos materiales (63,6 %). El porcentaje de positividad de los criaderos resultó ser elevado, las densidades larvarias e índices de picada estuvieron fuera de parámetros permisibles y predominaron las malas condiciones de saneamiento. Se emitieron recomendaciones relacionadas con los problemas identificados. Palabras clave: programa sanitario, servicios y sistemas de salud, criadero natural, captura específica, evaluación de la calidad.

In this article we first provide a brief discussion of what is generally referred to as “student plagiarism,” which we prefer to call “source misuse” or “inappropriate textual borrowing,” and then provide some of the factors that may contribute to this problem in language classes. Moreover, we provide our views and sugges- tions on how to deal with these causes, drawing mainly on our experiences as students and teachers in both EFL and ESL contexts, but also making references to some conceptual frames and the related literature.Dans cet article, nous présentons d’abord une discussion brève de ce que l’on appelle communément « le plagiat étudiant » et ce que nous préférons nommer « un mauvais emploi des sources » ou « un emprunt textuel inapproprié ». Nous poursuivons en évoquant quelques-uns des facteurs qui pourraient entrainer ce problème dans les cours de langue.
