Identidade e Gênero: Representações Femininas nos programas televisivos Bah!
No full text<p><span>A presente pesquisa busca analisar os modos como são produzidos os sentidos sobre a mulher gaúcha, a partir dos especiais “<em>Bah! Um programa muito gaúcho”, “Bah! Eu Sou do Sul” </em>e “<em>Bah! Um fandango muito especial”, </em>exibidos em 20 de setembro de 2013 e 2014 e 19 de setembro de 2015, respectivamente, na RBS.TV. Para isso, buscamos aporte na perspectiva teórica dos estudos culturais aliados aos estudos de gênero, considerando, ainda, o contexto cultural gaúcho em que as atrações se passam. Da pesquisa inferimos que os três principais sentidos: ocultamento, objetificação e masculinização formam uma identidade feminina estereotipada. Além disso, percebemos que os especiais atuam na intenção de perpetuar uma identidade hegemônica e masculina transmitindo uma falsa ideia de empoderamento feminino, na busca por gerar audiência e reconhecimento.</span></p></jats:p
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
Mulheres nos especiais Bah!: identidade gaúcha e representação feminina
No full textO trabalho busca analisar de que forma a identidade feminina é
representada na RBS TV, com base no discurso enunciado pelos
programas televisivos Bah! Um programa muito gaúcho e Bah!
Eu sou do Sul. A partir de uma análise cultural, tendo como
operador analítico o circuito da cultura de Johnson, busca-se
relacionar como se dá a presença e a representação das
mulheres em um contexto tradicionalista. Observa-se que o
programa, ao mesmo tempo em que rompe com a premissa da
subordinação feminina, evidencia o estereótipo mais difundido

Making Bah Biak Waterfall Tourism Promotion Video in Desa Bah Biak Kecamatan Sidamanik Kabupaten Simalungun
No full textThe Covid-19 pandemic is believed to be a turning point for changes in tourism and the design of creative economy business models, including in Indonesia. Through the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, the government prepares various policy directions and strategies in tourism promotion programs during the pandemic and post-pandemic in Indonesia. Sidamanik District is one of the sub-districts in the Simalungun Regency, North Sumatra Province, which has considerable natural potential, namely natural potential in the form of landscapes such as the Bah Butong Sidamanik tea garden, Bah Manik baths, and Bah Biak Waterfall. Bah Biak Waterfall has its uniqueness. Bah Biak Waterfall has a height of approximately 20 meters which immediately falls into the rocks and a swimming pool provided by the manager. The current condition experienced is the lack of visitors who come to tourist objects due to the lack of marketing and information disseminated to the broader community, especially during a pandemic like today. Along with technological advances, the development of promotional media began to shift to digital media, one of which was video. Therefore, through community service, which is one of the tri dharma of higher education and to support Strategy 7 of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy: Utilization of technology to support tourism marketing and the creative economy, our service team proposes making tourism promotion videos through video/ Digital Marketing of Bah Biak Tourism Object in Bah Biak Village, Sidamanik District. Through this video, we hope to positively impact tourist destinations, including a significant increase in the tourism sector
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
Bah in Singapore English
No full textColloquial Singapore English ('Singlish') is well known, among other features, for its class of discourse particles derived from substrate languages. These particles have been ascribed to various languages, chief among them Southern Min, Malay, and Cantonese. Previous research has also shown this class to be open to newcomers, with Lim (2007) concentrating on particles of Cantonese origin appearing in the 1980s. In this paper, I present evidence of a previously undocumented particle, bah , whose origins are suspected in Mandarin, a variety that has hitherto contributed only little to the grammatical structure of Singlish. Using corpus data complemented by data from online discussion forums, as well as responses to an online survey, the paper describes bah 's pragmatic meanings and the socio-historical and sociolinguistic reasons for its emergence
Reduced order modelling for efficient prediction of the dynamics of mistuned bladed disks
No full textThe unavoidable existence of small differences between nominally identical sectors of bladed disks, called mistuning, can have an important impact on the dynamic behaviour of these structures. In particular, this has the potential to lead to responses qualitatively different from that of an ideal cyclic, tuned structure and, in turn, to significantly shorter life spans. Study of mistuning as a random phenomenon requires statistical analysis of a large number of mistuning patterns. This computational task is expensive especially when high-fidelity finite element models are used. This research is concerned with the development of reduced order computational modelling techniques for the dynamic analysis of mistuned bladed disks. These techniques combine accuracy and computational efficiency for a reliable statistical assessment of the effects of mistuning on the dynamics of such systems. For free vibration, the nominal assessment of the effects of mistuning on the dynamics of such systems. For free vibration, the nominal periodicity is exploited, leading to an approximation that greatly reduces the order of the original model. The natural frequencies and mode shapes for a passband are found by treating the unknown complex amplitudes between the nominally identical sectors as the generalized co-ordinates of the problem. In spite of a very large reduction in the computational effort, the results obtained are very accurate both for frequencies and mode shapes even when strong mode localization is observed. To test the perfor4mance of the proposed approximation further, a situation where two passbands are brought close to each other is also considered. This method is general in its formulation and has the potential of being used for complex geometries. It is also extended to the frequency response problem. The great advantage is that the statistics of ‘blades’ forced responses can be numerically generated at a cost of a single degree-of-freedom per blade/disk sector model. Furthermore, a stochastic reduced basis approach is developed for the approximation of these statistics. This approach allows for a complete stochastic analysis of the effects of mistuning. The system response is represented using a linear combination of complex stochastic basis vectors with undetermined coefficients. The terms of the preconditioned stochastic Krylov subspace are used as basis vectors. Two variants of the stochastic Bubnov-Galerkin scheme are employed for computing the undetermined terms in the reduced basis representation. Explicit expressions for the response quantities are then derived in terms of the system random parameters. This allows for the possibility of efficiently computing the response statistics in the post-processing stage. This novel approach can be applied either on the original model in the physical domain or on a reduced model in the modal domain as a secondary reduction technique. The accuracy of the response statistical moments computed using this approach can be orders of magnitude better than classical perturbation methods. Finally, component mode synthesis or substructuring and probabilistic methods are combined to generate reduced order models. The Craig-Bampton reduction procedure is applied while using stochastic component modes instead of deterministic modes. An additional calculation of sensitivities of fixed interface modes, constraint modes and substructure-matrices is required with respect to the physical random variables. In the case of turbomachinery mistuned bladed disks composed of nearly identical substructures, the sensitivity analysis can be targeted to only one substructure. One great advantage is that the physical variations can be used as input in the reduced order model. This novel approach allows for an efficient computation of the statistical characteristics of responses and a complete stochastic analysis of the effects of mistuning.<br/
Effect of geometrical uncertainty on cemented hip implant structural integrity
No full textA large number of parameters such as material properties, geometry, and structural strength are involved in the design and analysis of cemented hip implants. Uncertainties in these parameters have a potential to compromise the structural performance and lifetime of implants. Statistical analyses are well suited to investigating this type of problem as they can estimate the influence of these uncertainties on the incidence of failure. Recent investigations have focused on the effect of uncertainty in cement properties and loading condition on the integrity of the construct. The present study hypothesizes that geometrical uncertainties will play a role in cement mantle failure. Finite element input parameters were simulated as random variables and different modes of failure were investigated using a response surface method (RSM). The magnitude of random von Mises stresses varied up to 8 MPa, compared with a maximum nominal value of 2.38 MPa. Results obtained using RSM are shown to match well with a benchmark direct Monte Carlo simulation method. The resulting probability that the maximum cement stress will exceed the nominal stress is 62%. The load and the bone and prosthesis geometries were found to be the parameters most likely to influence the magnitude of the cement stresses and therefore to contribute most to the probability of failur
