Duality and optimal strategies in the finitely repeated zero-sum games with incomplete information on both sides
Get PDFThe recursive formula for the value of the zero-sum repeated games with incomplete information on both sides is known for a long time. As it is explained in the paper, the usual proof of this formula is in a sense non constructive : it just claims that the players are unable to guarantee a better payoff than the one prescribed by formula, but it does not indicates how the players can guarantee this amount. In this paper we aim to give a constructive approach to this formula using duality techniques. This will allow us to recursively describe the optimal strategies in those games and to apply these results to games with infinite action spaces.Repeated games, dual games, incomplete information, recurrence formula.
A gestão dos recursos orçamentários e financeiros na Universidade Pública: previsão e execução de metas
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado profissional) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Sócio-Econômico, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Administração Universitária, Florianópolis, 2015Este trabalho tem como principal objetivo analisar a relação entre as metas previstas e executadas sob a perspectiva da Gestão Orçamentária e a percepção dos Coordenadores das ações da UFSC. A pesquisa, caracterizada como um estudo de caso, para analisar a gestão dos recursos orçamentários e financeiros na universidade pública: Previsão e Execução de Metas. O estudo foi realizado na área da gestão orçamentária, mais precisamente dentro de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior, que segundo as leis orçamentárias e modelos vigentes no Brasil, a mesma necessita realizar planos de gestão orçamentária e demonstrar como serão gastos os valores destinados a esta Instituição. Os resultados demonstram que na media geral o orçamento oriundo do tesouro teve participação de 81,16%, os de arrecadação própria 5,54% e os destaques 13,30% da dotação total autorizada no período e na execução foi de 82,85%, 2,73% e 14,42% respectivamente. A ação orçamentária que consome o maior volume de recursos é a ação funcionamento dos cursos de graduação, sendo que o montante variou entre 48 a 56% do total da dotação direta autorizada para a UFSC. Foi analisada a percepção dos coordenadores responsáveis pelas ações orçamentárias que avaliam a relação das metas físicas com as metas financeiras por meio de indicadores. Esses indicadores foram extraídos do Plano de Desenvolvimento Institucional (PDI) 2010-2014 e tem relação direta com as suas dimensões categorizadas pelo ensino, pesquisa e pós-graduação, extensão e gestão. Foi adotado como procedimento de investigação um roteiro de perguntas, encaminhado para os coordenadores responsáveis pelas ações orçamentárias que tem relação com a graduação, assistência ao estudante, ensino básico, extensão universitária, pós-graduação, pesquisa e capacitação dos servidores. A análise dos resultados da pesquisa apontou para o desenvolvimento de ações como: treinamento, manuais, definição de atribuições, indicadores, metodologia e outras para aprimorar a melhoria da gestão orçamentária.Abstract : This study has as main target to analyze the relation between forecasted and executed goals under UFSC Budgetary Management and managers perspective and perception. The research, charcterized as a case study to analyze management of financial and budgetary resources in public university: Forecasting and execution of goals. The research was accomplished in budget management area, more precisely, inside an institution of higher education, which according to budgetary laws and patterns current in our country, requires financial management plans and demonstration of how the amount located in this institution will be spent. On overall average, the budget coming from treasury was 81,16%, own budgets were 5,54% and the highlights were 13,30% of total allocation authorized during the period and the execution was 82,85%, 2,73% and 14,42%, respectively. The budget action that takes more resources is post-graduation courses operation, whose amount varied between 48% and 56% of UFSC total direct allocation authorized to UFSC. It was also studied the perspective of managers answerable for budgetary actions that assess the relation between physical and financial goals through rates. These rates were extracted from Institutional Development Plan (PDI) 2010-2014 and have direct link with its dimensions, categorized into teaching, research, post-graduation, extension and management. As an investigation procedure, a script of questions was adopted and forwarded to the managers answerable for budget actions related to graduation, assistance to students, basic education, university extension, post-graduation, research and public workers capacity. The results review pointed the increment of actions such as: training, guides, assignment definitions, rates, methodology and other actions to improve financial and budgetary management

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
