PracTools: computations for design of finite population samples
No full textPracTools
is an R package with functions that compute sample sizes for various types of
finite population sampling designs when totals or means are estimated. One-, two-, and three-stage
designs are covered as well as allocations for stratified sampling and probability proportional to size
sampling. Sample allocations can be computed that minimize the variance of an estimator subject to a
budget constraint or that minimize cost subject to a precision constraint. The package also contains
some specialized functions for estimating variance components and design effects. Several finite
populations are included that are useful for classroom instruction

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
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth 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.
Parceria ambiental: o dever fundamental de proteção ambiental como pressuposto para concretização do estado de direito ambiental
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Jurídicas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito.O presente trabalho visa a refletir sobre as possibilidades de concretização de um Estado de Direito Ambiental, trazendo como pressupostos básicos de tal Estado o dever fundamental de preservação do meio ambiente e, por meio deste, a necessidade de uma parceria entre o Poder Público e a coletividade. A pesquisa mostra que somente com a Parceria Ambiental se conseguirá efetivar este Estado do Ambiente. Acredita-se, no entanto, que esta consciência de dever com o meio, bem como o trabalho conjunto do Estado e da coletividade, deverá acontecer rapidamente; caso contrário, a catástrofe será inevitável, devido ao modelo insustentável da vida humana. Para isso, dividiu-se a dissertação em três partes. Na primeira parte, trabalha-se a crise ambiental e a evolução do Estado, passando pelo Estado Liberal, Social e Democrático de Direito, fazendo uma reflexão do conceito e das características de um Estado de Direito Ambiental. Na segunda parte, trabalha-se o dever fundamental de proteção ambiental, demonstrando que, com o advento do Estado de Direito, o ser humano deixou de viver com deveres e passou a reivindicar apenas direitos. Este fato reflete a dificuldade do homem aceitar os seus deveres, disciplinados, inclusive, na Constituição Federal Brasileira e em Leis infraconstitucionais. Na última parte, tenta-se analisar alguns trabalhos que já vêm sendo feitos em parceria, assim como algumas leis que já prevêem a participação da sociedade civil nas tomadas de decisão, fazendo o leitor refletir sobre a possibilidade de um novo modelo de Estado e de Sociedade
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
