Microseguros agropecuarios y gestión integral de riesgos en Centroamérica y la República Dominicana: lineamientos estratégicos para su desarrollo y fortalecimiento

Las dificultades asociadas a la oferta de seguros y microseguros agropecuarios se magnifican en el caso de Centroamérica y la República Dominicana, donde los retos para instrumentar este tipo de mecanismos de aseguramiento parte desde la creación de leyes específicas, pasando por instauración de una institución pública responsable de los seguros y microseguros, hasta la implementación de facilidades para la adquisición por parte de los productores de bajos ingresos en la zona rural. A pesar de esto, se han llevado a cabo diversos esfuerzos en la región para promover los seguros y microseguros agropecuarios tradicionales e indizados.

Investigadores de mayor visibilidad en Organización y Representación del Conocimiento: un estudio desde el análisis de cocitaciones

The most visible researchers in Knowledge Organization and Representation were identified, from the perspective of Brazilian researchers, based on cocitations from the papers presented in the last five meetings of the Encontros Nacionais de Pesquisa of the Associação Nacional de Pesquisa e Pós- Graduação em Ciência da Informação (ENANCIBs) from 2003 to 2008. First, the total number of references was identified, a total of 134 articles. Second, a citation analysis was conducted, being considered the most cited authors those who received 12 citations or more, which resulted in 31 most cited authors. Third, the Pajek software was used for the construction of the co-citation network and, thereafter, some indicators were calculated with the Ucinet software, which describe the structure and cohesion of the generated network, and, particularly, its density, and its degree of centrality, betweenness and proximity. The high cohesion of the network and the compliance between the most co-cited authors and the calculated indicators were verified.
