Contabilidade e capitalismo: um diálogo transdisciplinar
No full textEste trabalho acadêmico teve como objetivo desenvolver uma pesquisa que observou o comportamento da Contabilidade dentro das Ciências Sociais, buscando identificar a influência da Contabilidade no desenvolvimento do sistema econômico Capitalista, utilizando o Pensamento Complexo como método de abordagem para intermediar o diálogo transdisciplinar. As metodologias utilizadas para alcançar os objetivos da pesquisa foram: quanto às técnicas de obtenção de dados o método bibliográfico; quanto ao tipo de abordagem o método qualitativo; como resultados alcançados, observou-se que a Contabilidade pode ser considerada como uma Ciência Social que influenciou direta e indiretamente o desenvolvimento do Capitalismo devido à evolução de suas práticas consideradas pela racionalidade observada por Max Weber e outros pensadores; e que a abordagem metodológica do Pensamento Complexo pode ser utilizada com êxito para intermediar o discurso transdisciplinar entre a Contabilidade e as Ciências SociaisThis academic work aimed to develop a study that observed the behavior of Accounting within the Social Sciences, seeking to identify the influence of Accounting in the development of the capitalist economic system, using Complex Thinking as a method of approach for intermediate transdisciplinary dialogue. The methods used to achieve the research objectives were: the techniques of obtaining the bibliographic data method; as to approach the qualitative method; as achievements, it was observed that Accounting can be considered a social science that directly and indirectly influenced the development of capitalism due to the evolution of practices considered by rationality observed by Max Weber and other thinkers; and that the methodological approach of Complex Thinking can be successfully used to mediate the transdisciplinary discourse between Accounting and Social Science
A Contabilidade como Ciência Social e sua contribuição para o Capitalismo
No full textEste artigo tem como objetivo principal demonstrar que a Contabilidade pode ser observada e classificada como uma Ciência Social, onde as suas relações e práticas sociais são necessárias para interpretação, uso e aplicação na sociedade como instrumento de prestação de contas. Como objetivo específico o artigo demonstra a importância e contribuição da Contabilidade no desenvolvimento da sociedade capitalista
O ambiente dos Buracos Negros na economia na abordagem de Castells
No full textA concentração de mercados reestruturou sociedades locais criando condições para que rendas “per capita” regionais aumentassem gerando uma gleba de necessidades localizadas, decorrentes de rendas auferidas criadas por mercados consumidores locais. Por outro lado, a desindustrialização em consequência da globalização da produção levou a mão de obra regional a um deslocamento geográfico a outras regiões do planeta, eliminando empregos locais. Este artigo ressalta a visão de Manoel Castells sobre os buracos negros, que são campos gravitacionais no espaço pelo qual matérias e energias desaparecem quando nele ingressam. Semelhantemente, capitais e investimentos vão desaparecer quando adentrarem nesta região, criando aversão Capitalista, pois os donos do Capital tendem a rejeitar altos riscos, tornando de forma seletiva o mecanismo de empregabilidade do investimento, assim, desencadeiam o analfabetismo funcional, trazendo a energia destrutiva da pobreza, levando famílias, jovens e outros elementos da sociedade a um ciclo vicioso
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
