The Building owner\u27s manual practice: classification according to NBR 14037
No full textA qualificação da documentação técnica produzida é relevante para potencializar a comunicação no processo ao longo das etapas de projeto e execução. Neste contexto, o Manual de uso, operação e manutenção das edificações, também conhecido como Manual do Proprietário (MP), é o documento que contempla todas as informações necessárias para guiar as atividades de manutenibilidade e uso da edificação. Dessa forma, o Manual do Proprietário é um documento essencial para o esclarecimento de dúvidas relativas a edificação. De acordo com a Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas (ABNT) a NBR 14037 - Diretrizes para elaboração de manuais de uso, operação e manutenção das edificações - Requisitos para elaboração e apresentação dos conteúdos - tem por finalidade orientar os usuários da edificação sobre suas características técnicas; recomendar procedimentos no intuito de uma melhor utilização da edificação; propor atividades de manutenção; precaver o surgimento de falhas e acidentes decorrentes do mau uso e contribuir para a longevidade da edificação. Assim sendo, este artigo tem como objetivo classificar os manuais do proprietário segundo as recomendações da NBR 14037, sua forma de desenvolvimento, formato de entrega e tipo do manual de acordo com o uso e padrão da edificação. O método de pesquisa empregado foi o levantamento. Como contribuição, são apresentados os resultados do levantamento realizado por região do país, por padrão da edificação e por item da NBR 14037. Na verificação de aderência dos manuais à NBR 14037, constatou-se que os itens do manual não têm uma abordagem igualitária e, pontualmente, o quesito manutenção requer um maior cuidado por parte das construtoras e incorporadoras pesquisadas. Comprovou-se que o conteúdo que envolve garantias e assistência técnica obteve a melhor classificação, entre os manuais de proprietário apresentados, estando respaldado pelo Código de Defesa do Consumidor. Ademais, observou-se uma maior recorrência do manual impresso, desenvolvido pela própria construtora e uma distinção do manual de acordo com o uso e padrão da edificação. Por fim, conclui-se que o manual do proprietário, no levantamento realizado, apresenta deficiências que demandam melhorias tanto na forma de apresentação, quanto na mídia e no seu conteúdo. The building use, operation,and maintenance manual, also known as the building owner\u27s manual, is a document that provides all the information necessary to guide building maintenance and use activities. The qualification of the technical documentation produced is relevant to improve the communication in the process throughout the design and execution stages together with the explanation of questions regarding the building.The owner\u27s manual helps in this context.According to the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards, the NBR 14037 - Guidelines for building use, operation and maintenance manual preparation - Requirements for content preparation and presentation - is intended to: guide the users of the building on its technical characteristics, recommend procedures for the better building use, propose maintenance activities, and prevent the occurrence of failures and accidents resulting from misuse and contribute to the building longevity.For that reason, this paper aims to classify practiced building owner\u27s manual according to NBR 14037 recommendations, how it is developed, its delivery format, and the manual type according to the building use and standard. The research method used was the survey. Results are presented by region of Brazil, by building standard and by NBR 14037 items. In terms of adherence of the manuals to NBR 14037, it was verified that the items in the manuals did not have a consistent approach and, occasionally, the maintenance issues require greater care by the builders. It has been found that content involving warranties and technical assistance rated best among the owner\u27s manuals evaluated, being encouraged by the Consumer Defense Code. In addition, it was observed a greater use of printed manuals, developed by the construction company itself and with variations of the manual according to the building use and standard. Finally, it is concluded that the owner\u27s manual, in the survey carried out, presents deficiencies that demand improvements in the form of presentation, as well as in the media and its contents
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
