A educação dos estudantes dos BRICS na China entre 2010 e 2018: desenvolvimento, problemas e recomendações
Get PDFThis paper aims to discuss international students education from the BRICS countries in China from 2013 to 2017. During this period, with the promotion of the Chinese government and the cooperation of other BRICS countries, the total number of international students from the BRICS countries studying in China had continued to grow, finally approaching 45,000. Degree students took up a main share, the number of them was increasing steadily and the students educational level was increasingly optimized. The number of scholarship students continued to grow, and the proportion had continuously increased. The majors distribution was more balanced. Meanwhile, there were still some problems in international students education from the BRICS countries in China, including unbalanced development among the four BRICS countries, mutual recognition of higher education qualifications and degrees not fully covered, limited number and unitary source of scholarships, lack of high quality of higher education and international students teaching, and insufficient external information introduction and dissemination, etc. Based on the statistics released by Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China and combining quantitative analysis with qualitative analysis, the paper focuses on progress made and the problems of international students education from the BRICS countries in China during the period from 2013 to 2017, and gives some recommendations for its future development. To demonstrate my ideas, the paper is divided into four parts. After the introduction, the second part will present an analysis of progress made in the international students education from the BRICS countries in China. Its problems will be analyzed in the third part. At last, the fourth one, there is a conclusion and some recommendations. Esse artigo busca fazer uma análise geral e pesquisa comparativa acerca da educação dos estudantes originários dos países BRICS (Rússia, Índia, Brasil e África do Sul) na China entre 2010 e 2018. Durante esseperíodo, com a promoção do governo chinês e a cooperação entre os BRICS, o número total de estudantes do bloco estudando na China cresceu continuamente, finalmente alcançando 50.000. Baseado em estatísticas divulgadas pelo Ministério da Educação chinês e principalmente utilizando métodos quantitativos e comparativos, esse artigo foca no desenvolvimento e problemas da educação dos estudantes BRICS na China durante tal período e fornece algumas recomendações para a ampliação desse processo. Para demonstrar as ideias, esse artigo está dividido em cinco unidades. Depois da introdução, a segunda parte aprenda a evolução e fornece um panorama da política chinesa para educação de estudantes internacionais. Na terceira parte nos concentramos em uma análise do desenvolvimento da educação dos estudantes BRICS e seus problemas serão analisados na sequência. Por fim, há as conclusões e algumas recomendações para maior desenvolvimento
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
