A incoerência na formação do estado iugoslavo: um “diálogo” com a obra Nações e Nacionalismo de Eric J. Hobsbawm
Get PDFThis article aims to reflect on the criteria and parameters that shaped the institutions and mindsets in international policies in the creation or idealization of candidates to national states throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In addition, examining in particular, the specifics of the idea and formation of the Yugoslav state, whose birth name was Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.O presente artigo tem por objetivo refletir sobre os critérios e parâmetros que norteavam as instituições e intelectualidades políticas internacionais na confecção ou idealização dos postulantes a Estados nacionais ao longo do final do século XIX e início do XX. Ademais, analisar, em particular, as especificidades da ideia e formação do Estado iugoslavo, cujo nome de nascimento foi Reino dos Sérvios, Croatas e Eslovenos
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
O sistema político, partidário e eleitoral do Uruguai
Get PDFThe Oriental Republic of Uruguay is seen by many as a pioneer among Latin American nations to modernize its state and its policy. Since the late nineteenth century to the twentieth, Uruguayan political actors operate significant changes such as the separation of church and state, labor regulation, divorce law, women's vote, etc. Because of this and the progressive modernization, it was called the “Switzerland of the Americas”. Today, it still stands out in this area by regularizing abortion, homoaffective marriage, liberalization and access to marijuana. Moreover, noteworthy that such measures were achieved largely because of governance that the executive enjoys in the midst of this political system. Thus, this work aims to analyze such Uruguayan political system. In short, a political system is understood by the government system, the electoral system and the party system. That said, it will be analyzed in the political scenario of the country, their characteristics, party and election rules, political parties, party dynamics and relations between the powers.A República Oriental do Uruguai é tida por muitos como pioneira entre as nações latino-americanas a modernizar seu Estado e sua política. Desde a passagem do século XIX para o XX, os atores políticos uruguaios operam mudanças significativas, tais como a separação entre Estado e igreja, regulação trabalhista, Lei de divórcio, voto feminino etc. Em razão disso e da progressiva modernização, foi chamada de a “Suíça das Américas”. Atualmente, ela ainda se destaca nessa matéria por regularizar aborto, casamento homo-afetivo, liberalização e acesso à maconha. Ademais, digno de nota que tais medidas foram conseguidas muito em função da governabilidade que o executivo desfruta em meio àquele sistema político. Logo, este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar tal sistema político uruguaio. Em síntese, um sistema político é compreendido pelo regime de governo, pelo sistema eleitoral e pelo sistema partidário. Dito isso, serão analisados, no cenário político daquele país, suas características, suas regras partidárias e eleitorais, os partidos políticos, a dinâmica partidária e as relações entre os poderes
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
Sobre o Posicionamento do Legislativo Uruguaio a Respeito do Acordo Mercosul - União Europeia e da Aproximação Uruguaia com a Aliança do Pacífico
Get PDFO objeto de estudo deste artigo é a participação do Legislativo Uruguaio nas negociações entorno do Acordo Mercosul-União Europeia e sobre a aproximação uruguaia com os países da Aliança do Pacífico. Assim, os objetivos deste trabalho são: apresentar, no recorte de 2000-2016, uma contextualização do cenário da integração regional sul-americana, mormente com enfoque para a controversa situação uruguaia no Mercosul. Ademais, apresentar o posicionamento dos representantes uruguaios, com destaque para a atuação dos senadores e chanceleres, no seio da Comissão de Assuntos Internacionais do Senado, a respeito das negociações entorno do Acordo Mercosul-União Europeia e da aproximação uruguaia da Aliança do Pacífico. Para tal, vale-se aqui, como fonte primária e fundamental, do uso das versões taquigráficas da referida instituição. Enquanto que, como fonte secundária, de uma bibliografia de apoio e de artigos e notícias de jornais. Logo, importante atentar, como forma de anúncio prévio dos resultados e conclusão, que o posicionamento dos políticos e representantes refletiu, dentro do recorte temporal e espacial, certo consenso quanto à necessidade de abertura econômica uruguaia (face às limitações do seu mercado interno e a inoperância do Mercosul) e inserção internacional do país, a partir de acordos bilaterais (países e blocos), de cooperação e de integração regional
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
