Pensamento da America: intelectualidade e Estado Novo em um projeto comungado (1941 - 1945)
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em História, Florianópolis, 2013.Esta dissertação objetivou investigar a atividade editorial de Rui Ribeiro Couto e Renato Costa Almeida enquanto estes intelectuais estiveram à frente do Pensamento da America, uma publicação mensal vinculada ao A Manhã, jornal porta voz do Estado Novo. Este suplemento panamericano veio a público entre 1941 e 1949, no entanto a pesquisa aqui apresentada focalizou o período que compreendeu desde seu início até 1945, representativo marco do final da segunda Guerra Mundial e do Estado Novo. A primazia do enfoque recaiu sobre o estudo de mecanismos editoriais que permearam uma publicação oficial, bem como sobre a relação estabelecida entre os intelectuais acima apontados e o governo estadonovista. Abstract : This dissertation purpose is to study the editorial activity of Rui Ribeiro Couto and Renato Costa Almeida while these intellectuals were editors of a publication linked to the newspaper of Estado Novo (A Manhã). This publication was called Pensamento da America and was a monthly pan-American journal published between 1941 and 1949. However, this research focused on the period between 1941 and 1945, year that represents the end of the Second World War and the end of the Estado Novo. The focus was on the study of mechanisms that permeated the edition of an official publication, as well as on the relation between these intellectuals and the Estado Novo

No full textPabstiella pseudotrifida L. Kollmann & D. R. Couto, spec. nova (Fig. 1). Typus: BRAZIL. Edo Espírito Santo: Mimoso do Sul, Santa Luzia, ca., 7.I.2005, fl., D. R. Couto 229 (holo-: MBML). Pabstiella pseudotrifida is very similar to P. trifida, but can be distinguished by the subtruncate to truncate petals, and the smooth lip which is free of callosities and truncate to rounded at apex. Plant epiphytic, 2-4 cm tall, caespitose, erect. Roots whitish, terete, flexuose, glabrous. Ramicauls 5.5-7 mm long., green, cylindrical, enclosed by tubular, acute, pale green sheaths that are paleaceous and whitish when dried. Leaves 16-28 X 3-3.5 mm, 0.8-1.6 mm thick, green, linear-elliptic, the base subpetiolate, the apex minutely 3-dentate, Inflorescence a congested, successively several-flowered raceme, 1.2-1.7 cm long, shorter than the leaves. Floral bracts ca. 1.5 mm long, translucent, pale green, tubular, acute. Flowers resupinate, glabrous. Pedicels 1.5-2 mm long. Ovary 1-1.2 mm long. Sepals yellow, translucent, with orange margins, 3-veined, carinate abaxially, the dorsal sepal 5-5.5 X 1.9-2 mm, oblong-elliptic, obtuse, the laterals sepal 4-4.1 X 1.4-1.5 mm, connate to above the middle into a oblong synsepal with acute apices, forming a small mentum below the tip of the column-foot. Petals 2.6-3.3 X 1.2-1.4 mm, spathulate, curved, 3-veined, translucent yellow with orange veins, slightly carinate abaxially, subtruncate to truncate. Lip 2.5-2.6 X 0.91 mm, orange, slightly purplish-lilac at base, green at the attachment with the column-foot, 3-lobed, unguiculate, 3-veined, the midvein longer than the laterals, smooth, free of callosities, the lateral lobes more or less below the middle, erect, broadly rounded, the apical lobe truncate to rounded. Column ca. 2.5 mm long, greenish, winged above the middle, white and 3-dentate at apex, the teeth straight and acute; column-foot 1.3-1.8 mm long with two callosities at base the apex papillose. Anther ca. 0.7 mm long, yellowishwhite; pollinia two, yellow. Capsule unknown. Etymology. – The specific epithet refers to its similarity to P. trifida (Lindl.) Luer. Habitat, distribution. – This species is apparently endemic to the Atlantic forest of southern Espírito Santo, growing as an epiphyte in dense rainforest remnants, from 800 to 1600 m altitude. It is partially protected in the mountain forests of the Caparaó National Park (Fig. 2). Conservation status. – Due to the apparently endemic distribution of P. pseudotrifida, and on the basis of the extension of its occurrence in the State of Espírito Santo, which is estimated to be less than 500 km 2, it seems appropriate to include this new species in the “Endangered” (EN) category (B2a(iii)), according to the IUCN (2001). Taxonomical notes. – Pabstiella pseudotrifida is most similar to P. trifida, from which it may be distinguished by its petal and lip morphology. In P. pseudotrifida the petals are subtruncate or truncate, and the lip is smooth, free of callosities, truncate or rounded at apex, with side lobes above the middle. In P. trifida, the petals are obtuse or acute, the lip is papillose or verrucose, the side lobes are near or below the middle, and the disc is shallowly channelled between a pair of verrucose, intramural calli.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Stigmatodon enigmaticus D. R. Couto, Gonella & A. F. Costa 2023, sp. nov.
No full textStigmatodon enigmaticus D.R. Couto, Gonella & A.F. Costa, sp. nov. (Figures 1–2) Stigmatodon enigmaticus differs from S. vexatus by the more numerous leaves (15–25 vs. 10–12 in number), distinctly smaller leaf blade (6–8.5 × 1.5–2.3 cm vs. 13–14 × 2.8–3.7 cm), with acuminate apex (vs. caudate), floral bracts red (vs. green), flowers with diurnal anthesis (vs. nocturnal), greenish-yellow sepals (vs. green), yellow petals (vs. greenish-yellow), and stamens and stigma exceeding the corolla (vs. shorter than the corolla). Type: — BRAZIL. Minas Gerais: Conselheiro Pena, Serra do Padre Ângelo, Serra do Pinh „o, campo rupestre, 1,300 m elevation, 2 May 2021 (flowered in cultivation in November 2021), P . M. Gonella 2965, D. P. Cordeiro, G. A. da Silva, P. R. Bartholomay, J. C. Ribeiro & L. Medeiros (holotype MBML!). Description: — Plant rupicolous, heliophytic, 21–35.5 cm tall when flowering, propagating by basal axillary shoots. Leaves 15–25, forming a utriculiform rosette; sheath ovate to elliptic, 6–8.5 × 4–5.5 cm, purplish to purplishgreen distally, castaneous at the base, densely lepidote on both sides, chartaceous; blade narrowly triangular, 6–8.5 cm long, 1.5–2.3 cm wide at the base, green to dark reddish, densely lepidote on both sides, forming white crossbands on adaxial surface, suberect to spreading-recurved, revolute along the margins (under water stress), apex acuminate. Peduncle suberect or curved at the base, (16-) 23–30 cm long, 1.2–1.8 mm in diameter, green, glabrous; peduncle bracts erect, exceeding the internodes, imbricate, elliptic, apex rounded then acuminate to caudate, 1.7–3 × 1.4 cm, the lower ones subfoliaceous, green, the upper ones red, lepidote on both sides, more sparsely lepidote near the margins, densely white lepidote near the apex. Inflorescence simple, 4–12 cm long, suberect, with apical sterile bracts, 3–7 flowered; main axis slightly geniculate, 2.8–3 mm in diameter, green, glabrous, internodes 5–9(-16) mm; floral bracts suborbicular, apex broadly obtuse, 1.7–2.2 × 1.0– 1.7 cm, ecarinate, secund with the flowers at anthesis, red, exceeded by the sepals, densely lepidote abaxially, adaxially glabrous, coriaceous. Flowers distichous, secund at anthesis, diurnal, 4.0– 5.5 cm long; pedicel green, 4.5–7.2 mm long; sepals elliptic, apex obtuse, 20–23 × 10–11 mm, greenishyellow, ecarinate, glabrous, coriaceous, free; petals linear-oblong, 3.0–3.5 × 0.5–0.8 cm, apex rounded to emarginate, suberect with spreading apex, yellow, glabrous, connate at the base to 0.9–1.5 mm, forming a prevailing tubular corolla; petal appendages 6–7.6 × 2–2.5 mm, spatulate, apex rounded, distally free for 2.5–3.2 mm; stamens exserted for 2–3.8 mm; anthers oblong in outline, 4–5 mm long, obtuse, dorsifixed near the base; filaments complanate, 25–31 mm long, pale yellow, adnate to the petals for 4.3–5 mm; ovary superior, 4.2–5.4 mm long; style 30–35 mm long; stigma convolute blade type (the vriseoid type II), exceeding the corolla for 8–9 mm, green, ca. 1.4 mm in diameter. Capsules unknown. Phenology: —Colected with flowers in October (in situ), and in November and December (in cultivation). Distribution and ecology: — Stigmatodon enigmaticus is a lithophyte on quartzitic rocky outcrops (Fig. 1C) within the Atlantic Forest, in the municipality of Conselheiro Pena, eastern Minas Gerais state, Brazil. So far, the species is only known from the type locality at Serra do Pinh„o (above 1,250 m elevation), part of Serra do Padre Ângelo (Fig. 1A). At the type locality, the species forms a small and sparse population, exposed to full sunlight, growing in crevices or fissures, or directly on bare rock, usually on horizontal or inclined quartzitic rocky outcrops (Fig. 1), surrounded by herbaceous and shrubby vegetation (Fig. 1B, C). The floral characteristics of this species, i.e., floral bracts red, flowers with diurnal anthesis, yellow petals, and stamens and stigma exceeding the corolla (Fig. 1F–H), allows us to suggest that it is possibly pollinated by hummingbirds (Neves et al. 2020), an unusual characteristic for the genus Stigmatodon (its species have nocturnal flowers and bat-pollination). This observation raises new and promising perspectives for evolutionary, morphological, and taxonomic studies in Stigmatodon. Preliminary conservation status: —Critically Endangered (CR): B2ab(iii). Stigmatodon enigmaticus is a microendemic species with an Area of Occupancy (AOO) of 4 km ², found only in Serra do Pinh„o (Fig. 1 A–B). While the rock outcrop where it is found is relatively protected from fires by the irregular topography, the surroundings have been severely transformed in the past decades, from the original matrix of Semideciduous Seasonal Forest to pastures for cattle farming. Fires for pasture renovation are regular in the area, as is the active conversion of the few remnants of secondary forest into pastures, with the use of fire, one of such observed during one of the expeditions to the area in October 2022. Similar criminal fires resulted in a wildfire of great proportions that affected the neighboring Pico do Padre Ângelo in September 2020, affecting many of its endemics (Andrino & Gonella 2021, Kollmann & Gonella 2021, Gonella et al. 2022). The frequent fires in the area facilitated the invasion of the rocky outcrops by alien grass species, such as Melinis minutiflora Beauvois (1812: 54), which can be found on the rocky outcrop that S. enigmaticus inhabits. The area where the species is found is not protected by any sort of Protected Area but should be recognized as a priority for conservation given the exceptional biodiversity and the relevance of the ecosystem services provided by the mountainous relief and native vegetation of Serra do Padre Ângelo, such as water cycle, climate balance, and pollinators, among others. Finally, less than 20 mature individuals could be located in the area, suggesting that the population is relatively small, as is common with microendemic species from the Campos Rupestres (Conceiç„o et al. 2007). Given the aforementioned characteristics and threats, we have preliminarily assessed S. enigmaticus as Critically Endangered based on the categories and criteria of IUCN (2012). Etymology: — This new species was discovered in May 2021, when only sterile specimens were observed, and its vegetative characteristics pointed to Stigmatodon. However, when in flower, its red bracts and yellow sepals and petals, common in Vriesea and so far not reported for Stigmatodon, raised the question of its generic placement. This puzzling combination inspired the epithet, from the Greek aenigma meaning “riddle”, or “enigma”. Additional specimens examined (paratypes): ___ BRAZIL. Minas Gerais: Conselheiro Pena, Serra do Padre Ângelo, Serra do Sossego, campo rupestre, 1,250 m elevation, 15 October 2022, (fl.), D. R . Couto 6625, P. M. Gonella, L. Medeiros, D. Cordeiro & L. Magalhães (R!); ibidem, 1,350 m elevation, 13 May 2022, P . M. Gonella 3521, E. P. Fernandez, G. Crispin, G. A. Queiroz & J. C. Ribeiro (MBML!). Discussion: — Stigmatodon enigmaticus, resembles the small rupicolous species of “ Stigmatodon limae group” (Fig. 1 C), from which it is easily distinguished by its red floral bracts, as well as by the yellow and linear-oblong petals, and the exserted stamens and stigma. Among the species of the S. limae group, this new species is morphologically most similar to S. vexatus, which is endemic to the Pico da Aliança, an emblematic quartzitic mountain distant about 20 km from the type locality of S. enigmaticus, in the neigboring municipality of Alvarenga. Stigmatodon enigmaticus can be distinguished from S. vexatus by its ovate to elliptic leaf sheaths (vs. broadly ovate), which are purplish to purplish-green toward the apex and castaneous at the base (vs. vinaceous brown adaxially), leaf blade with revolute margins (under water stress vs. flat to involute), peduncle longer (up to 30 cm vs. up to 13 cm), larger flowers (4.0– 5.5 cm vs. ca. 3.2 cm), and obovate to elliptic sepals (vs. oblong-elliptic; data on S. vexatus from Leme 2016). For the Stigmatodon limae group, three stigma types have been recognized recently (see Leme et al. 2022a), which are relevant to the Stigmatodon taxonomy: tubo-laciniate type II, observed in S. rosulatulus (Leme 2012: 10) Leme, G.K. Br. & Barfuss (in Barfuss et al. 2016: 58) and S. ilhanus Leme & D.R. Couto (in Leme et al. 2022a: 7); (ii) convolute-blade (the vriseoid type II), observed in S. freicanecanus (Siqueira & Leme, 2006a: 377) D.R.Couto & A.F.Costa (in Couto et al. 2022: 352), S. oliganthus (Baker, 1887: 345) D.R.Couto & A.F.Costa (in Couto et al. 2022: 354), S. vellozicolus (Leme & Siqueira 2006b: 406) D.R.Couto & A.F.Costa (in Couto et al. 2022: 354), S. vexatus and S. enigmaticus; and (iii) convolute-blade type III (stigmadontoid type III), observed in S. andaraiensis (Leme 2012: 16) D.R.Couto & A.F.Costa (in Couto et al. 2022: 352), S. itamarajuensis Leme, D.R. Couto & L. Kollmann (in Leme et al. 2022a: 9), S. limae (Smith 1970: 181) D.R.Couto & A.F.Costa (in Couto et al. 2022: 354), and S. zonatus (Siqueira & Leme 2006a: 374) D.R.Couto & A.F.Costa (in Couto et al. 2022: 354). The floral features of S. enigmaticus, i.e., red bracts and yellow perianth, exserted stamens and stigma, and diurnal anthesis, are unique in the genus Stigmatodon but common in Vriesea (Costa et al. 2014, Neves et al. 2020, Couto et al. 2022). These characteristics, associated with hummingbird pollination syndrome (ornithophily), seem to be the ancestral state among bromeliads, while bat pollination (chiropterophily) originated multiple times in the family as a whole (Aguillar-Rodríguez et al. 2019), as well as in Vriesea (Kessler et al. 2020; Neves et al. 2020), and is supported as an ancestral state in Stigmatodon species (Couto et al. 2022). All the 33 previously known species of Stigmatodon bear chiropterophilous flowers, therefore the floral features of S. enigmaticus could result from the retention of the ancestral state or a reversion to it, a hypothesis that needs to be tested with molecular phylogeny.Published as part of Couto, Dayvid R., Gonella, Paulo M. & Costa, Andrea F., 2023, Stigmatodon enigmaticus (Bromeliaceae, Tillandsioideae), a new lithophytic species from the Campos Rupestres within the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, pp. 207-215 in Phytotaxa 584 (3) on pages 209-212, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.584.3.7, http://zenodo.org/record/764569
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
Exploring the focus-morphology interface: morpho-syntactic aspects of non prosodic focus : Selected Proceedings of the 2007 Mid American Linguistics Conference
No full textThis paper claims that a constraint-based theory (i.e, OT) can best account for the many manifestations of Focus in typologically diverse languages. We propose an interaction between Discourse Representation Theory (hereafter DRT) (Kamp, 1981; Kamp and Reyle, 1993) and Optimality Theory (OT) (Prince and Smolensky, 1993/2004) to best account for these facts, maintaining that constraint-ranking is the best way to achieve a descriptive and explanatorily adequate analysis of natural data. In particular, we provide a novel sketch of a theoretical account of natural languages that mark Focus morphologically but not prosodicall
