A BUSCA DE ESPAÇOS PARA O COMÉRCIO DE GÊNEROS ALIMENTÍCIOS EM DESTERRO Galpões, quiosques e o novo Mercado Público Municipal
No full textTCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Departamento de História.O primeiro prédio de Mercado Público de Desterro foi inaugurado em 1851 na praia situada em frente ao Largo da Igreja Matriz. O Mercado Público atual de Florianópolis iniciou seu funcionamento em 1899. O objetivo principal dessa pesquisa é investigar os motivos que ocasionaram sua construção e possíveis conflitos em torno desse processo. Para isso, considera-se necessário situar o primeiro prédio de Mercado e sua relevância como centro de abastecimento de gêneros alimentícios nas décadas de 1880 e 1890 e avaliar o que este representava para a sociedade. A análise de jornais, correspondências oficiais, atas das sessões da câmara municipal, do conselho municipal e dos relatórios de província demonstraram a insuficiência de espaço no primeiro Mercado, as estratégias da população para conquistar um lugar no seu interior e exterior e a busca de alternativas pelo governo para abrigar o comércio de gêneros. A necessidade de mais espaço foi uma das justificativas adotadas para o início da construção do novo prédio de Mercado pelo governo republicano. Entretanto, sua edificação não proporcionou a resolução deste problema e foi alvo de crítica pela oposição
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
Perlukah Indonesia Memperjuangkan Kepentingan atas Orbit Geostasioner?
No full textOrbit Geostasioner (Geostationary Orbit atau GSO) merupakan satu orbit yang dapat digunakan sebagai lintasan operasi satelit selain orbit bumi rendah (Low Earth Orbit atau LEO), orbit bumi menengah (Medium Earth Orbit atau MEO), hingga orbit sangat elips (Highly Elliptical Orbit atau HEO). Di antara keempat orbit, GSO memiliki perbedaan dan karakteristik unik.
GSO terletak pada ketinggian 35.871 kilometer serta tepat di atas ekuator Bumi. Keunikan ini menjadikan satelit yang berada di GSO seolah diam karena perioda orbit satelit mengelilingi Bumi sama dengan perioda rotasi Bumi. Hal ini memberikan keuntungan bagi penyedia layanan satelit yang menempatkan satelitnya di GSO dikarenakan akan menghemat biaya operasional serta memberikan tingkat akurasi yang tinggi sehubungan data transferring dari satelit ke Stasiun Bumi (ground station). Pada umumnya fungsi satelit yang mengorbit di GSO ialah untuk kepentingan telekomunikasi dan cuaca
Abordagem de temas em ciências da natureza no ensino médio: implicações na prática e na formação docente
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação Científica e Tecnológica, Florianópolis, 2014.A presente pesquisa investiga práticas docentes implementadas a partir da abordagem de temas que buscam contemplar as orientações propostas nos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais para o Ensino Médio (PCNEM), nas Orientações Educacionais Complementares aos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN+) e nas Orientações Curriculares para o Ensino Médio (OCEM), nos componentes curriculares que integram a área de Ciências da Natureza. Inicialmente, realizou-se a análise dos parâmetros, orientações e diretrizes curriculares nacionais, que sugerem a organização de programas escolares para o ensino médio a partir de Temas Estruturadores, de Unidades Temáticas e da abordagem de temas com caráter de transversalidade. Considerando-se as demandas da educação em nível médio na contemporaneidade, buscou-se contribuir com discussões epistemológicas e pedagógicas sobre a abordagem de temáticas socialmente significativas para o aluno em sala de aula, por meio da interlocução com autores que defendem a importância do problema no processo de construção do conhecimento. Essa discussão também foi fundamental para o estabelecimento de categorias analíticas que permitem melhor compreender como vem ocorrendo a elaboração e o desenvolvimento de práticas pautadas em temas em escolas brasileiras. Para isso, realizou-se uma revisão bibliográfica nos principais periódicos e nas atas de eventos que socializam os resultados da pesquisa em ensino de Ciências. A partir dos estudos localizados, caracterizaram-se propostas temáticas em desenvolvimento no ensino de Física, de Química e de Biologia no ensino médio. Para aprofundar as compreensões acerca das práticas implementadas em sala de aula, das condições necessárias para esta implementação e dos processos formativos promovidos junto a professores que atuam na educação básica, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com professores-pesquisadores-formadores e com docentes da educação básica. Dentre os resultados, destaca-se que os documentos oficiais apresentam tanto elementos conceituais quanto contextuais para a organização de programas escolares a partir de temáticas. Já os estudos socializados no âmbito da pesquisa em ensino de Ciências indicam que há uma diversidade teórica e metodológica de propostas temáticas, que se diferenciam, principalmente, pelo tipo de implementação, pontual ou curricular, e pela natureza do tema, conceitual ou contextual. Os dados obtidos sinalizam que é desafiadora a implementação de perspectivas, sejam pontuais ou curriculares, que tenham um contexto/situação problema como ponto de partida, ou seja, perspectivas em que a conceituação científica esteja subdeterminada ao tema em estudo, pois isso implica na ruptura com a Abordagem Conceitual, que tradicionalmente orienta a construção de programas escolares. A superação da Abordagem Conceitual se mostra, portanto, como uma complicação que necessita enfrentamento. Esse enfrentamento envolve aspectos estruturais, tais como o redimensionamento dos tempos e espaços escolares. No campo formativo, particularmente na formação continuada de professores, argumenta-se sobre a necessidade da promoção de formações organicamente articuladas com a escola e a reestruturação das práticas pedagógicas.Abstract : This research investigates teaching practices implemented from the approach of themes that seek to contemplate the guidelines proposed in the National Curricular Parameters for Secondary Education (PCNEM), in the Educational Orientation Complementary to National Curricular Parameters (PCN+) and in the Curricular Orientation for Secondary Education (OCEM), particularly in the curricular components that comprise the area Sciences of Nature. Initially, were analyzed the parameters, orientations and national curricular guidelines, which suggest organizing the school programs for secondary education from Structurer Themes, Thematic Units and approach of themes with transversality character. Considering the demands of the education in the secondary education in contemporaneity, it is sought to contribute with epistemological and pedagogical discussions about the approach of themes socially significant for the student in the classroom, through the interlocution with authors who advocate the importance of the problem in the process of knowledge construction. This discussion was also essential for the establishment of analytical categories that allow understand how are occurring the elaboration and development of practices based on themes in Brazilian schools. So, it was carried out a literature review in major journals and in proceedings of events which socialize the results of research in Science Education. From the studies localized, were characterized thematic proposals developing in the teaching of Physics, Chemistry and Biology in secondary education. To deepen understanding about the practices implemented in the classroom, the conditions needed for this implementation and the training processes promoted with teachers working in basic education, semi-structured interviews with teachersresearchers-trainers and with teachers of basic education were conducted. Among the results, it is noteworthy that official documents show both conceptual and contextual elements for organizing school programs from themes. The studies socialized within the research in Science Education indicate that there is a theoretical and methodological diversity of thematic proposals, which differ primarily by the implementation type, punctual or curricular, and the nature of the theme, conceptual or contextual. The data indicate that it is defiant implement punctual or curricular prospects that have a context/problem situation as a starting point, that is, perspectives in which the scientific conceptualization is underdetermined to the topic under study, because this implies the rupture with the Conceptual Approach, which traditionally guides the construction of school programs. The overcoming of the Conceptual Approach appears as a complication that needs confrontation. This confrontation involves structural aspects, such as resizing of school times and spaces. In formation context, particularly in the continuing education of teachers, it is argued about the need to promote organically articulated formations with the school and the restructuring of pedagogical practices
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
The Thursday Murder Club: Launching a megabrand author - a publishing case study
No full textIn 2020, the Christmas book charts in the UK made headlines: Barack Obama’s eagerly awaited autobiography, The Promised Land, was beaten to the top spot by The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, a debut cosy crime novel set in a retirement village. Not only did Osman’s book beat the former US president’s expected bestseller, it also broke records, becoming the fastest-selling debut crime novel of all time. Although Osman has a certain level of fame in the UK from his TV appearances on shows such as Pointless, his celebrity status does not entirely explain the novel’s huge sales. This article tracks the acquisition, publication, and promotion journey of The Thursday Murder Club in order to understand the industry and cultural context of its success and to interrogate the role of celebrity in the creation of author brands. The findings suggest that the unexpected scale of the success of the book owed to a number of factors, including in-depth editing by the novel’s agent, editor, and author to tighten up the plot, an extensive and strategic promotional campaign, the pandemic (which drove interest in the book’s genre and themes), and the quality of the writing. We find that the book’s success was accentuated by Osman’s celebrity status rather than being entirely reliant on it. This research adds to the growing scholarship on celebrity authorship by means of an in-depth case study and provides insight into the processes behind publishing a ‘celebrity’ book and launching a megabrand author
Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
