La enseñanza de la Terapia Ocupacional social en las instituciones federales de educación superior en Brasil
No full textThe social field has increasingly requested professionals qualified to work around issues that are eminently social, among them the occupational
therapist, which implies specific demands for vocational training. This study aimed to identify the discussion of social occupational therapy
in the curricular contents of undergraduate courses in occupational therapy of the Federal Institutions of Higher Education in Brazil. The
coordinators of these courses were interviewed and their political-pedagogical projects were analyzed, in the period between 2012 and 2013.
The results show that the contents of the area are inserted in a minority way in the curricula or almost never seen. This seems to be linked not
only to the lack of specific human resources and conceptual divergences, but also by norms imposed by funding programs in higher education,
especially those directed to courses considered of health. Although advances in this area, no common parameter has yet been produced, accepted and practiced nationally, for its configuration in the graduation. The general education advocated by the National Curriculum Guidelines for
Occupational Therapy has been developing only in the field of health, impacting areas of action that are not limited to it.El campo social ha solicitado cada vez más profesionales cualificados para trabajar en torno a problemáticas que son eminentemente sociales, entre ellos, los terapeutas ocupacionales. Esta necesidad implica exigencias específicas para la formación profesional. Este trabajo tuvo de objetivo identificar la discusión de terapia ocupacional social en programas de las carreras de pregrado en terapia ocupacional de las Instituciones Federales de Educación Superior en Brasil. Se llevo a cabo entrevistas con los coordinadores de estos cursos y se analizaron sus proyectos político-pedagógicos, en el período entre 2012 y 2013. Los resultados mostraron que los contenidos ofrecidos son introducidos de forma minoritaria en los programas de estudio o no son vistos. Esto tiene que ver con falta de recursos humanos específicos del área, y con las normas impuestas por los programas de financiación de educación superior, especialmente aquellas dirigidas a programas considerados como “de la” salud. A pesar de los avances en esta área, aún no se ha generado un parámetro común, aceptado y practicado a nivel nacional.
La educación generalista preconizada por las Directrices Nacionales Curriculares para la terapia ocupacional viene desarrollándose solo en el ámbito de la salud, en desmedro de áreas de actuación que no se circunscriben a ella
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
