Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) — Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade de Economia, Administração, Contabilidade e Gestão de Políticas Públicas, Departamento de Ciências Contábeis e Atuariais, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Contábeis, 2023.O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar quais são os determinantes (antecedentes) do letramento
financeiro nos estudantes de graduação da Universidade de Brasília. Para o alcance desse
propósito, foi utilizado o método empírico-analítico com foco em três grupos de variáveis
explicativas: (i) perfis e históricos dos respondentes, (ii) aprendizagem formal e não-formal e
(iii) experiências (aprendizagem informal). Foram coletadas 400 respostas a partir da aplicação
de um questionário eletrônico estruturado, composto por 34 questões. Os resultados dos testes
empíricos, em relação ao grupo (i), revelaram que homens, alunos de engenharia e ciências
sociais aplicadas, com rendimento familiar acima de 10 salários mínimos, casados e cujos pais
tenham no mínimo formação no ensino superior tiveram nível de letramento superior aos
demais. No que se refere ao grupo (ii), os alunos que tiveram aulas de contabilidade e finanças
no ensino médio ou na faculdade, bem como os que preferem a internet e planejadores
financeiros como fonte de conhecimento apresentaram níveis de letramento superiores.
Ademais, alunos com maior preferência por mídias tradicionais apresentaram menores níveis
de letramento que os demais. No tocante à análise do grupo (iii), não há relação estatisticamente
relevante para corroborar com a hipótese levantada. Na segmentação por nível de proficiência
dos estudantes: aqueles com nível avançado, 30,25% da amostra, apresentaram uma nota média
cerca de 1 ponto superior ao nível intermediário, representado por 24,75% da amostra, e 3
pontos em relação ao nível básico, representado por 45% dos respondentes. Por fim, este
trabalho contribui com a literatura ao preencher lacunas, apontadas por Goyal e Kumar (2020),
de pesquisas sobre letramento financeiro em países não-ocidentais e/ou em desenvolvimento.
Ademais, a proposta de se analisar o nível de letramento dos indivíduos sob a consideração das
fontes de conhecimento e aprendizado – além de ir ao encontro da iniciativa da OCDE de
reconhecer não apenas o aprendizado formal, mas o não-formal e o informal, também permite
o avanço da discussão de novas perspectivas de análise do letramento financeiro.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES).The objective of this work is to analyze which are the determinants (antecedents) of financial
literacy in undergraduate students at the University of Brasilia. To achieve this purpose, the
empirical-analytical method was used, focusing on three groups of explanatory variables: (i)
respondents' profiles and histories, (ii) formal and non-formal learning and (iii) experiences
(informal learning). 400 responses were collected from the application of a structured electronic
questionnaire, consisting of 34 questions. The results of the empirical tests, in relation to group
(i), revealed that men, students of engineering and applied social sciences, with a family income
above 10 minimum wages, married and whose parents had at least higher education, had a
literacy level superior to the others. Regarding group (ii), students who took accounting and
finance classes in high school or college, as well as those who prefer the internet and financial
planners as a source of knowledge, showed higher levels of literacy. Furthermore, students with
a greater preference for traditional media had lower levels of literacy than the others. Regarding
the analysis of group (iii), there is no statistically relevant relationship to corroborate the raised
hypothesis. In the segmentation by students' proficiency level: those with an advanced level,
30.25% of the sample, had an average score about 1 point higher than the intermediate level,
represented by 24.75% of the sample, and 3 points in relation to the level basic, represented by
45% of the respondents. Finally, this work contributes to the literature by filling gaps, pointed
out by Goyal and Kumar (2020), in research on financial literacy in non-Western and/or
developing countries. In addition, the proposal to analyze the literacy level of individuals
considering the sources of knowledge and learning - in addition to meeting the OECD initiative
to recognize not only formal learning, but non-formal and informal learning, also allows
advancing the discussion of new perspectives for analyzing financial literacy.Faculdade de Economia, Administração, Contabilidade e Gestão de Políticas Públicas (FACE)Departamento de Ciências Contábeis e Atuariais (FACE CCA)Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Contábei
Análise da associação entre as variáveis da alfabetização financeira e as sociodemográficas, relacionadas aos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS), na população do Distrito Federal
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) — Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade de Economia, Administração, Contabilidade e Gestão de Políticas Públicas, Departamento de Ciências Contábeis e Atuariais, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Contábeis, 2025.A alfabetização financeira é um conceito multifacetado, que abrange, além do
conhecimento financeiro, a atitude e o comportamento financeiros. Trata-se de um elemento
essencial para o desenvolvimento econômico-financeiro, sendo indispensável para indivíduos
inseridos em mercados financeiros, sejam eles simples ou complexos. Por sua abrangência, a
alfabetização financeira impacta não apenas os indivíduos, a economia e a sociedade, mas
também o desenvolvimento sustentável. Nesse contexto, a alfabetização financeira está
relacionada aos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) estabelecidos pela
Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU). Dessa forma, o presente estudo tem como objetivo
analisar se as variáveis sociodemográficas associadas aos ODS da ONU ainda são fatores
determinantes para as disparidades nos níveis de alfabetização financeira da população do
Distrito Federal. Para isso, foram selecionadas variáveis sociodemográficas diretamente
relacionadas à formulação dos ODS 1, 4, 5, 8 e 10. Para avaliar a associação entre as variáveis
sociodemográficas relacionadas à formulação dos ODS e a alfabetização financeira, utilizou-se
o teste estatístico Qui-Quadrado, considerando os níveis de alfabetização financeira (baixo,
intermediário e alto) como variável dependente e as variáveis sociodemográficas como
independentes. Os resultados demonstraram que, as mesmas variáveis sociodemográficas
utilizadas para a formulação dos ODS, em 2015, ainda, influenciam a disparidade entre os
níveis de alfabetização financeira da população do Distrito Federal. No que se refere ao ODS 1
(Erradicação da Pobreza), indivíduos com renda mais alta apresentaram níveis mais elevados
de alfabetização financeira. Em relação ao ODS 4 (Educação de Qualidade), verificou-se que
níveis mais altos de escolaridade estão associados a maior alfabetização financeira,
especialmente entre aqueles com mestrado e doutorado. Quanto ao ODS 5 (Igualdade de
Gênero), os resultados indicaram que homens cisgênero possuem maior alfabetização
financeira em comparação aos demais respondentes. No ODS 8 (Trabalho Decente e
Crescimento Econômico), constatou-se que indivíduos que exercem atividade laboral
demonstraram maior alfabetização financeira, sendo que o tipo de atividade desempenhada
também influenciou esse nível. Por fim, no ODS 10 (Redução de Desigualdades), observou-se
que fatores como raças, etnias e localização geográfica apresentaram associações significativas
com o nível de alfabetização financeira dos indivíduos do Distrito Federal. Esses achados
contribuem ao demonstrar que as desigualdades sociodemográficas que motivaram a
formulação dos ODS da ONU em 2015 continuam influenciando, significativamente, os níveis
de alfabetização financeira no DF. Dessa forma, o estudo reforça a necessidade de políticas
públicas mais eficazes e direcionadas, que considerem esses determinantes sociodemográficos
para promover a educação de qualidade, a redução de desigualdades, o trabalho decente e o
crescimento econômico.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES).Financial literacy is a multifaceted concept that encompasses, in addition to financial
knowledge, financial attitudes and behavior. It is an essential element for economic and
financial development, and is indispensable for individuals involved in financial markets,
whether simple or complex. Due to its scope, financial literacy impacts not only individuals,
the economy, and society, but also sustainable development. In this context, financial literacy
is related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations
(UN). Thus, this study aims to analyze whether the sociodemographic variables associated with
the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are still determining factors for the disparities
in the levels of financial literacy of the population of the Federal District. To this end,
sociodemographic variables directly related to the formulation of SDGs were selected as
determinants of SDGs 1, 4, 5, 8, and 10, based on their cause-and-effect relationships in the
formulation of these goals. To assess the association between the sociodemographic variables
related to the formulation of this cause-and-effect relationship between the SDGs and financial
literacy, the Chi-Square statistical test was used, considering the levels of financial literacy
(low, intermediate and high) as the dependent variable and the sociodemographic variables as
independent. The results demonstrated that the same sociodemographic variables used to
formulate the SDGs in 2015 still influence the disparity between the levels of financial literacy
of the population of the Federal District. Regarding SDG 1 (No Poverty), individuals with work
activity and higher income had higher levels of financial literacy. Regarding SDG 4 (Quality
Education), it was found that higher levels of education are associated with greater financial
literacy, especially among those with master's and doctorate degrees. On the other hand,
individuals with less education have lower levels. Regarding SDG 5 (Gender Equality), the
results indicated that cisgender men have greater financial literacy compared to other
respondents. In SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), it was found that individuals
who work and are employed demonstrated greater financial literacy, and the type of activity
performed also influenced this level. Finally, in SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), it was observed
that factors such as race, ethnicity, and geographic location presented significant associations
with work, income, sex, and gender significantly impacted the level of financial literacy of
individuals in the Federal District. These findings contribute to demonstrating that the
sociodemographic inequalities that motivated the formulation of the UN SDGs in 2015 continue
to significantly influence the levels of financial literacy in the DF. Thus, the study reinforces
the need for more effective and targeted public policies that consider these sociodemographic
determinants to promote quality education, decent work and economic growth and the reduction
of inequalities.Faculdade de Economia, Administração, Contabilidade e Gestão de Políticas Públicas (FACE)Departamento de Ciências Contábeis e Atuariais (FACE CCA)Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Contábei
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
