  • Research Trends in Genetics: Scientometric Profile of Selected Asian Countries
    DESIDOC Journal of Library & Information Technology, 2014
    Co-Authors: S. L. Sangam, Uma B. Arali, C. G. Patil, Shrishail R. Gani
    Abstract:

    The present paper is an attempt to assess the Research output of genetics Research based on the distribution of publications in different sub-specialities of genetics. The study compares the Research priorities of 16 sub-specialities of genetics in 10 Asian countries for two time-spans; 1992-2001 and 2002-2011, using PubMed database. Since the raw publication counts are confounded by the size of the countries and the size of the subject specialities, cross-national comparison is made using a relative Indicator-Research Priority Index. http://dx.doi.org/ 10.14429/djlit.34.5802

  • Human Rights: Human rights and moral agency
    Human Rights, 1
    Co-Authors: Mark Goodale
    Abstract:

    Introduction To begin, let me provide an immediate opening to the chapter’s principal claims. As the anthropology of the practice of human rights demonstrates, even in terms of an explicit understanding of “progress,” it is very difficult to sustain empirically the conclusion that human rights has been a force for progress in the contemporary world. On the one hand, the postwar human rights project is intensely teleological; the movement toward a better, more advanced, more civilized future is implicit in the construction of “human rights” as the primary “symbol to all of victory over those who sought to achieve tyranny through aggressive war” (UNESCO 1949, 258–259). To ask conceptually, that is, about whether or not human rights is progressive is to push right up against a tautology, since “human rights” and “progress” are mutually implied from the very beginning. But on the other hand, even if we were to devise a set of Indicators in order to measure the impact of human rights in certain areas of concern – political freedom, torture, access to justice, etc. – we would immediately confront two problems. First, as Sally Engle Merry is documenting in her ongoing Research on the use of quantitative Indicators to measure human rights compliance (see, e.g., Merry 2009, 2012), there is a problematic degree of dissonance between the statistical techniques and assumptions that animate Indicator Research, and the multiplicity of processes that get radically condensed into “data.” She argues that the broader impact of human rights – the kind of impact, that is, that would speak to the question of “progress” – is likely to prove statistically unmeasurable for purposes of the diverse group of constituencies involved in human rights enforcement and activism.

  • How enterprise strategies are related to innovation and productivity change: an empirical study of Japanese manufacturing firms
    Economics of Innovation and New Technology, 2014
    Co-Authors: Hidemichi Fujii, Kazuma Edamura, Koichi Sumikura, Yoko Furusawa, Naomi Fukuzawa, Shunsuke Managi
    Abstract:

    This study analyzes the total factor productivity of 1067 Japanese manufacturing firms. In production estimation, we employ the directional distance function and Luenberger productivity Indicator. Research and development strategy survey data are used to analyze the determinant factors related to improvements in innovation and productivity. Our results indicate that increasing technology and knowledge through a ‘black box’ process is related to an increase in productivity. Furthermore, the protection and management of production knowledge and expertise is a valid method of increasing global technical change.

  • Partnerships Across Campuses and Throughout Communities: Community Engaged Research in California’s Central San Joaquin Valley
    Community Quality-of-Life Indicators: Best Cases VI, 2013
    Co-Authors: Simón E. Weffer, Robin Maria Delugan, Dari E. Sylvester, James Mullooly, Marcia Hernandez
    Abstract:

    In this chapter the co-authors explore the process of conducting social Indicator Research in California’s Central San Joaquin Valley. The “Central Valley” is notable for the high level of ethnic diversity, deep economic disparity, unemployment and underemployment, and blend of rural and agricultural communities with urban areas experiencing various levels of gentrification and development. The Partnership for the Assessment of Community (PAC) project was created to serve as a model to measure the changes over a 10-year period in the Central Valley. The PAC Research team consists of faculty from different universities in the Central Valley and student-Researchers. A description of the pilot study of PAC Research is discussed in this chapter. The co-authors offer a critical read of the promises and challenges for Researchers interested in conducting community-based Research with students across multiple sites. We offer a summary of successful ventures as well as valuable lessons of what did not work for the initial study and salient issues for future social Indicator Research endeavors in the Central Valley.

  • The Dynamics of Social Indicator Research for California’s Central Valley in Transition
    Social indicators research, 2010
    Co-Authors: Robin Maria Delugan, Marcia Hernandez, Dari E. Sylvester, Simón E. Weffer
    Abstract:

    How can social Indicator Research improve understanding of community health as well as inform stakeholders about the assets disadvantaged communities have for coping with disparities? This paper describes the development and evolution of the Partnership for Assessment of Communities (PAC) and its best practices for social Indicator Research. The PAC will be of interest to Researchers across multiple disciplines for a number of reasons. First, PAC is a working model of best practices for multidisciplinary scholarly inquiry. Second, it has developed an integrated model of quantitative and qualitative methodology to define and measure community health as compared to traditional quality-of-life Indicators. Third, it serves as an example of “action Research,” in that the findings have the potential to make an impact on community stakeholders and policy outcomes in the greater Central San Joaquin Valley of California, a region characterized by deep social and economic disparities.
