Dignidade no envelhecimento: A voz dos idosos
Full text linkDignidade no Envelhecimento: A voz dos idosos, dá nome à presente dissertação de mestrado em Serviço Social, tendo como tema central a dignidade no processo de envelhecimento da pessoa idosa.
O envelhecimento da população é hoje um dos maiores desafios da atualidade a nível mundial. Contudo, tem-se verificado que as sociedades não estão preparadas para este acréscimo de pessoas idosas e que a sua dignidade, direito comum a todos os indivíduos, nem sempre é respeitada.
Com esta investigação, pretende-se compreender qual a perceção que os próprios idosos têm relativamente à garantia da dignidade no seu processo de envelhecimento.
Tratando-se de uma investigação de natureza qualitativa, a técnica utilizada para recolha de dados foi a entrevista, utilizando-se posteriormente o programa MAXQDA para a análise dos dados recolhidos. Com as entrevistas foi possível concluir que as pessoas inquiridas consideram ter uma vida digna, sendo acompanhadas pelas suas famílias e pelos seus pares, continuando a viver nas suas casas, tomando decisões de uma forma autónoma e independente e tendo uma participação ativa na comunidade, não sendo, no entanto, possível retirar conclusões a nível nacional devido à dimensão da amostra.
Esta investigação pretende ressalvar a importância da dignidade no envelhecimento e propor uma análise mais profunda sobre o tema, salientando a ausência de respostas suficientes para o número de pessoas idosas, que continua a aumentar.Dignity in Ageing: The voice of the elderly, is the name of this master's dissertation in Social Work, the central theme of which is dignity in the ageing process of the elderly.
Population ageing is one of the biggest challenges facing the world today. However, it has been observed that societies are not prepared for this increase in the number of elderly people and that their dignity, a universal right, is not always respected.
The aim of this research is to understand how the elderly themselves perceive the guarantee of dignity in their ageing process.
As this is a qualitative investigation, the technique used to collect data was interviews, and the MAXQDA program was then used to analyze the data collected. From the interviews it was possible to conclude that the people surveyed consider themselves to have a dignified life although it is not possible to draw conclusions at a national level due to the size of the sample.
This research aims to highlight the importance of dignity in ageing and propose a more in-depth analysis of the issue, highlighting the lack of sufficient responses to the number of elderly people, which continues to increase

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
