Portraits and sporting experiences in rhythmic gymnastics: a study with ex-athletes
No full textAs experiências esportivas podem ser significativas do ponto vista científico, e cujo resgate de memórias contribuiria na análise crítica do processo formativo na avaliação dos atletas. Com essa perspectiva, o objetivo deste trabalho é compreender as reflexões de ex-atletas sobre suas experiências na GR. Para isso, desenvolvemos a pesquisa qualitativa em duas fases. A primeira bibliográfica e documental, e a segunda de campo, na qual foram entrevistadas sete mulheres ex-integrantes de uma equipe de alto nível. Os dados foram analisados por meio da análise temática reflexiva. Os resultados foram organizados em quatro temas relacionados à trajetória e às experiências esportivas das participantes, bem como aos significados atribuídos a elas. A trajetória esportiva das ginastas revelou as seguintes características: foi desenvolvida em um ambiente escolar no qual tiveram incentivo e oportunidades para crescer como atletas; a iniciação foi destacada como uma fase prazerosa e por aspectos lúdicos da prática; a transição para o treinamento foi um período fundamental para que as ginastas se adaptassem às novas demandas, o que minimizou os impactos provocados pela nova fase; o encerramento da carreira foi influenciado por motivações multifatoriais, como conflitos com treinadores; falta de perspectiva de crescimento na modalidade e pressão da família; todavia não houve dificuldades significativas na conciliação esporte-escola; foi amplamente apoiada pelos pais, que além de suporte financeiro também davam apoio emocional; foi marcada por diversos desafios no treinamento e nas competições, como medo da reação dos treinadores por não atender as expectativas, conflitos entre ginastas e treinadores e a sensação de que a banca de arbitragem é tendenciosa a favorecer algumas atletas; foram estabelecidas relações construtivas entre ginastas e treinadores e laços de amizade entre as atletas semelhantes a vínculos familiares. As participantes destacaram fatos de suas experiências, tanto em aspectos positivos como negativos, relacionados à: identidade e paixão pela modalidade; prazer em competir; reconhecimento da importância do papel dos treinadores para o desenvolvimento da carreira esportiva; dificuldades para estabelecer diálogo aberto com os treinadores; caso de assédio moral, abordagens inadequadas e uso excessivo de feedbacks negativos por parte dos treinadores; bullying entre as ginastas; pressão sobre as atletas para atenderem ao padrão corporal idealizado na modalidade. As participantes reconhecem o aprendizado adquirido em suas experiências tanto para o crescimento pessoal como para a construção de suas identidades. Elas expressaram sentimentos como saudade, orgulho e gratidão que ecoam do passado e ressignificam suas experiências na GR. Compreendemos que este estudo possa contribuir para o aprendizado e apoio às pessoas que compartilham experiências semelhantes, ao facilitar a busca por soluções específicas no dia a dia de treinadores e ginastas e oportunizar reflexões capazes de impulsioná-los a fazerem escolhas mais assertivas em suas práticas. Acreditamos que esse intercâmbio favoreça a reflexão de temas importantes para a modalidade, como a cultura da exigência extrema e pressão excessiva por resultados, a formação de treinadores, a formação de base, o encerramento da carreira, o padrão corporal imposto, a especialização precoce, e as barreiras para dialogar abertamente dentro do ginásio.Sports experiences can be significant from a scientific point of view, and the recovery of memories would contribute to the critical analysis of the training process in the evaluation of athletes. With this in mind, the aim of this study is to understand the reflections of former athletes on their experiences in RG. To this end, we carried out qualitative research in two phases. The first was bibliographical and documentary, and the second was a field study in which seven women who were former members of a high-level team were interviewed. The data was analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. The results were organized into four themes related to the participants\' sporting careers and experiences, as well as the meanings attributed to them. The gymnasts\' sporting careers revealed the following characteristics: it was developed in a school environment in which they had encouragement and opportunities to grow as athletes; initiation was highlighted as a pleasurable phase and for the playful aspects of practice; the transition to training was a fundamental period for the gymnasts to adapt to the new demands, which minimized the impacts caused by the new phase; the end of the career was influenced by multifactorial motivations, such as conflicts with coaches; lack of growth prospects in the sport and pressure from the family; however, there were no significant difficulties in the sport-school conciliation; was largely supported by her parents, who not only provided financial support but also emotional support; was marked by various challenges in training and competitions, such as fear of the coaches\' reaction for not meeting expectations, conflicts between gymnasts and coaches and the feeling that the refereeing panel is biased in favor of some athletes; constructive relationships were established between gymnasts and coaches and bonds of friendship between athletes similar to family ties. The participants highlighted facts from their experiences, both positive and negative, related to: identity and passion for the sport; pleasure in competing; recognition of the importance of the role of coaches in the development of a sporting career; difficulties in establishing open dialogue with coaches; cases of bullying, inappropriate approaches and excessive use of negative feedback from coaches; bullying among gymnasts; pressure on athletes to meet the idealized body standard in the sport. The participants recognize the lessons they have learned from their experiences, both for personal growth and for the construction of their identities. They expressed feelings such as nostalgia, pride and gratitude that echo the past and give new meaning to their experiences at RG. We believe that this study can contribute to learning and support for people who share similar experiences, by facilitating the search for specific solutions in the daily lives of coaches and gymnasts and providing opportunities for reflection that can encourage them to make more assertive choices in their practices. We believe that this exchange will encourage reflection on important issues for the RG, such as the culture of extreme demands and excessive pressure for results, the training of coaches, the youth development, the career retirement, the imposed body standard, early specialization, and the barriers to open dialogue within the gym
FONTES DE INFORMAÇÃO, COMUNICAÇÃO E JUVENTUDE: UM ESTUDO DE REVISÃO
Get PDFAlthough young people have easy access to information about sexual and reproductive health and risk behaviors associated with sexual practices, this information is not always safe. Moreover, the media have been showing fragile and can influence young people to have sexual risk behavior.

Além disso, os meios de comunicação se mostram frágeis e podem influenciar os jovens a terem comportamentos sexuais de risco. Este é um estudo de revisão bibliográfica que tem como objetivo contribuir com a produção do conhecimento sobre comunicação e fontes de informação sobre saúde sexual e sexualidade na juventude
AS FONTES DE INFORMAÇÃO INFLUENCIAM A EDUCAÇÃO SEXUAL? DILEMAS PARA A ABORDAGEM DA SEXUALIDADE NA FORMAÇÃO INICIAL DE PROFESSORES DE EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA
Get PDFThis is a descriptive cross-sectional study that was conducted with 200 college students from a physical education course. The aim of this study was to identify the sources of information most used by students in relation to health and sexuality. For data collection, a self-administered and anonymous questionnaire was used. The data were treated by descriptive statistics, using the program Excel 2010. As a result, it was verified that the internet was the most used source for the participants, followed by friends, media and health centers. Although students have accessibility to many sources, information is not always secure and may compromise their life trajectories. It is necessary to increase investments in sex education in higher education and to intensify actions that favor the prevention of diseases and the promotion of healthEste es un estudio transversal descriptivo con 200 universitarios de un curso de educación física. El objetivo fue identificar cuáles son las fuentes de información que los participantes buscan sobre salud y sexualidad, problematizando tal contexto, a fin de proporcionar apuntes para la formulación de políticas públicas de educación para la sexualidad en la enseñanza superior. Para la recolección de datos se utilizó un cuestionario autoaplicable y anónimo. Los datos fueron tratados por estadística descriptiva, utilizando el programa Excel 2010. Como resultados, se verificó que Internet era la fuente más utilizada por los participantes, seguida de amigos, medios y centros de salud. Aunque los estudiantes tienen accesibilidad a muchas fuentes, no siempre la información es segura, pudiendo comprometer su trayectoria de vida.

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
