Gerenciamento de recursos humanos nos polos de apoio presencial do Sistema Universidade Aberta do Brasil
Full text linkDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Sócio-Econômico, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Administração, Florianópolis, 2012Este estudo tem como objetivo verificar como ocorre o gerenciamento de recursos humanos nos polos de apoio presencial do Sistema Universidade Aberta do Brasil (SisUAB) e sua relevância consiste no fato de que a Educação a Distância (EaD) necessita de uma abordagem profissional de gestão, não apenas em questão de princípios pedagógicos ou de infraestrutura, mas também em relação aos recursos humanos de forma a prover talentos, capacitá-los, recompensá-los e mantê-los leais ao objetivo institucional, assegurando a produtividade e o comprometimento dos agentes envolvidos com a democratização do ensino. Para atingir este fim, foi realizado um estudo de caso nos polos de apoio presencial que ofertam o Curso de Graduação em Administração Pública na modalidade a distância da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), tendo como público-alvo os coordenadores das unidades do Estado de Santa Catarina dos municípios de Araranguá, Chapecó, Florianópolis, Joinville, Lages e Tubarão. Quanto à natureza, trata-se de uma pesquisa aplicada, pois tem o propósito de gerar conhecimentos para uso prático na solução de problemas específicos e, nesta perspectiva, este trabalho busca levantar as facilidades e as dificuldades encontradas pelos gestores. Relativo à abordagem, é quanti-qualitativa, por ter a finalidade de identificar a quantidade de cursos, instituições e recursos humanos presentes nos locais estudados e, a partir daí, compreender como ocorre o gerenciamento. É teórico-empírica uma vez que discorre sobre teorias, conceitos e ideias, de forma a alinhar o rigor conceitual à prática e, é descritiva, por envolver técnicas padronizadas de coleta de dados, tais como questionário e observação sistemática. Quanto aos procedimentos de coleta de dados, o trabalho foi elaborado com base em material já publicado, inclusive artigos e capítulos de livros de autoria da pesquisadora, e também apoiado na interação da mesma com os membros da situação investigada. Como resultado, obteve-se um melhor entendimento das atividades gerenciais realizadas nas unidades operacionais da UFSC, identificando-se as facilidades e as dificuldades do gerenciamento de recursos humanos frente ao crescimento da EaD, sendo possível cooperar com esta instituição fornecendo sugestões que permitam a continuidade do estudo e o aperfeiçoamento da prática de gestão focada nas necessidades da equipe e dos alunos.Abstract : This study aims to determine as is the management of human resources in the face of the support poles of the Open University of Brazil (SisUAB) and its relevance is the fact that distance education (DE) requires a professional approach to management, not just a matter of pedagogical principles or infrastructure, but also in relation to human resources in order to provide talent, train them, reward them and keep them loyal to the institutional goal, ensuring productivity and commitment of those involved with the democratization of education. To this end, we performed a case study in the presence of support poles that offer the Undergraduate Program in Public Administration in the distance of the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), with the audience coordinators of units of the State of the municipalities of Santa Catarina Araranguá, Chapecó, Florianopolis, Joinville, Lages and Shark. The nature, it is an applied research because it aims to generate knowledge to practical use in solving specific problems and in this perspective, this article raises the facilities and the difficulties encountered by managers. On the approach is quantitative and qualitative, to have the purpose of identifying the amount of courses, intitutions and human resources present in the locations studied, and from there, to understand how management occurs. It is theoretical and empirical since discusses theories, concepts and ideas in order to align the conceptual rigor to the practice, and is descriptive because it involves standard techniques of data collection such as questionnaire and systematic observation. The procedures for data collection, the work was based on previously published material, including articles and book chapters authored by the researcher, and also supported in the same interaction with members of the situation investigated. As a result, we obtained a better understanding of management activities conducted in the operational units of UFSC, identifying the facilities and the difficulties of managing human resources before the growth of distance education, being unable to cooperate with this institution providing suggestions to allow continuity the study and improvement of management practice focused on the needs of staff and students
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
