    The truth of personal names

    No full text
    Portuguese-speakers, when asked about their personal names, often respond with a notion of the ‘truth of’ their names. Basing itself on ethnographic data collected by the author in Macao (southern China), Bahia (Brazil), and Portugal, the article interprets this notion of truth as a form of ontological weighing that postulates the unitariness of the person by reference to a subjection to a bureaucratic order and to a cultural and linguistic universe associated to it

    MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations

    No full text
    Information overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank

    “Lusotopy as Ecumene”

    No full text
    This is an article about the concept of "ecumene" and how it can be used to describe the experience of people who are related to the long history of Portuguese expansion in numerous and diverse places around the globe. It deals with globalisation and argues against methodological nationalism in the study of postcoloniality

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The 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

    "Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"

    No full text
    Both spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.

    Vestígios do ser: uma análise comparativa entre Água Viva e Pedra do Sono

    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2010Este trabalho apresenta uma leitura comparativa entre o romance Água viva, de Clarice Lispector, com alguns poemas de Pedra do sono, de João Cabral de Melo Neto, sob a perspectiva da existência pensada por alguns leitores de Martín Heidegger. Com base em Água viva e Pedra do sono, refletimos a problemática do Ser (Dasein), abordada pelo filósofo e repensada pelos escritores literários. Pensamos a existência do Dasein, a partir do que restou do Ser, presente nos textos literários, e na maneira como o "Ser" se dá entre os seres nas obras citadas. Portanto, lemos esses textos, amparando-nos na abordagem do Ser feita por Heidegger, e toda a discussão apresentada pelo filósofo e leitores de sua teoria, para compreender a escrita de Clarice Lispector e de João Cabral de Melo Neto. Convém lembrar que os textos literários desses autores não obedecem às leis do gênero a que remetem, e foram escritos em um período em que ocorreram profundas transformações na sociedade, por isso, são carregados de marcas históricas sociais. Buscamos, por intermédio desses textos literários, compreender a relação entre eles e a modernidade. Lispector e Cabral, dois autores distintos em bibliografia, inauguram linguagens: ele, um artesão da palavra e ela, uma autora que trabalha as possibilidades da linguagem, e dessa forma, aproximam-nos das coisas e do mundo. Em virtude disso, buscamos analisar as obras, a fim de, posteriormente, compará-las entre si, e com a teoria, levando em consideração o contexto e a história. Percebemos deste modo que Lispector e Cabral empregam as palavras não com o seu sentido original, mas tentam dar a essas palavras um sentido diferente, recriado imagens que nos levam a vivenciar outras sensações, estimuladas por essa linguagem com que nos deparamos
