    Compreende-se que o conceito de cidadão é aquele com uma postura de olhar permanentemente crítico e de exigência crescente frente aos fenômenos sociais. Pensando no papel da educação como promotora de cidadãos ativos nos espaços comuns, e a Psicologia Social Crítica como uma disciplina emancipatória para a interlocução de engajamento juvenil, política e escola, a presente dissertação tem como objetivo compreender de que forma está ocorrendo o processo de construção de cidadania e da identidade cidadã por parte dos porto-alegrenses estudantes do Ensino Médio. Diversos processos podem ser disparados para fomentar a construção dessa subjetividade política. A literatura aponta a importância e a responsabilidade da família e da escola para a iniciação na vida democrática. Entretanto, encontram-se evidencias apontando que a população brasileira tende a ser pouco participativa na esfera política. Além da participação popular insatisfatória, também é frequente a expressão de que as escolas parecem ser pouco eficazes na promoção de um espaço que promova um pensamento democrático por parte dos alunos. Frente a isto, o trabalho se propõe a compreender de que forma os estudantes do ensino médio interagem com questões da esfera politica. Como método, a pesquisa baseou-se no projeto Letters to The Next President L2P2.0, através do qual os alunos são convidados a pensar sobre as condições sociais e políticas que os cercam e que para eles são relevantes, através da elaboração de cartas. Esta é uma pesquisa exploratória de caráter qualitativo, e a análise foi realizada a partir da Análise Temática de Braun e Clarke . Uma escola pública de Porto Alegre foi contatada por critério de conveniência. Participaram da pesquisa 209 estudantes de Ensino Médio. Foi elaborado um questionário em uma plataforma online contendo a pergunta disparadora, baseada no projeto original, seguida de sete perguntas relacionadas a política, democracia e cidadania. Serão apresentados os resultados da análise das respostas para a pergunta disparadora “ o que você tem a dizer para o próximo ou próxima presidente do Brasil? ”, e a pergunta “ Você sabe o que um presidente faz? Por favor, descreva. ”. Os resultados da primeira pergunta apontaram os seguintes temas: “Descrença”, “Público e privado”, “As pautas”, Esse terceiro eixo é ainda subcategorizado entre Pautas sociais” e “Tripé temático”. Os resultados apontam que o distanciamento dos jovens com a política presente na literatura é da mesma forma presente nos participantes da pesquisa. Também evidenciaram a produção de um discurso que versa sobre pautas de forma desapropriada com relação à questões políticas. As pautas mais elaboradas, expostas por uma parte menor de respondentes da pesquisa foram tocantes a desigualdade, discriminação, trabalho, segurança, impostos, condições de trabalho dos profissionais de saúde e educação, contrastando com os resultados do projeto original norte-americano. Quanto a segunda pergunta , os temas foram categorizados em: . “Desconhecimento”; “Deliberação”, que se subdivide ainda em dois subtemas, sendo o primeiro “Sobre leis” e o segundo, “Decisões”; “Representante”, e “Autoridade”. Tais temas evidenciaram uma dificuldade por parte dos participantes de darem respostas apropriadas quanto a prática presidencial, fazendo com que as respostas apontassem ideias generalistas sobre tomada de decisões, representar ou ainda uma ideia de detentor de poder. Discute-se que a escola segue sendo incapaz de produzir cidadãos aptos para exercerem seus papéis na sociedade e como tal distanciamento pode ser reflexo da população que se vê descrente da política e também não se apropria suficientemente para gerar mudanças efetivas na educação política brasileira.It is understood that the concept of citizen implies a constant critical look and a growing demand towards social phenomena. Thinking about the role of Education as the promoter of active citizens in common spaces environments and the Social Psychology as a subject which encourages emancipation with regard to the dialog between youngsters, politics and school, the present study aims to understand how this process of citizen construction and citizen identity is occurring among High- school students in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Several processes may be activated to instigate the construction of this political subjectivity. Literature suggests the importance and the responsibility of the family and the school to initiate the democratic life. However, there are evidences showing that the Brazilian population tends to have little participation in the political sphere. Besides the unsatisfactory participation, it is often observed that schools seem to be little efficient in promoting an environment which encourages a democratic thought from the students’ part. Taking that into consideration, this work proposes to approach the way students interact with questions concerning the political sphere, in case there is any. As a method, the research was based on the project “Letters to the Next President” L2P2.O, through which the students are invited to think about the relevant political and social conditions around them, and which ones are relevant to them through the elaboration of letters. This is an exploratory research of qualitative character. A public school in Porto Alegre was contacted based on convenience. 209 high school students participated as a data collection method, where a questionnaire was created in an online platform which had a trigger question (based on the original question), followed by seven questions concerning politics, democracy and citizenship. The result of the analysis of the answers to the trigger question: “What do you have to say to the next president of Brazil?” and the question: “Do you know what a president does? Please describe.” will be presented. The themes emerged by the results of the first question were named “Unfamiliarity”, “Deliberation”, sub-divided in “About laws” and “Decisions”, “Representative” and “Authority”. These themes evidenced the difficulty the participants had in answering properly about the presidential practices, indicating general ideas about decision making, representing or power holder. Regarding the second question presented, the themes were categorized by the names “Disbelief”, “Public and private” and “The topics”, which were also subcategorized as “Social topics” and “Thematic tripod”. The results point out that the detachment between youngsters and politics found in literature is the same way evidenced by the participants. They also demonstrated the use of a set up discourse concerning political topics, evidencing an expropriated approach. The most elaborated political topics presented by a smaller part of respondents concerned security issues, prejudice, inequality, the working conditions for health and education professionals, nevertheless in brief constructions, contrasting with the original project results. This study discusses that the school is still incapable of encouraging the empowerment of citizens that successfully fulfill their roles as citizens in society, as well as how this detachment can be the reflection of the Brazilian major population- that is faithless about politics and do not compromise with the subject to promote effective social change in political education in Brazil

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    We 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
