"Being a brigadier" or "working for the brigade": lifestyles among military brigade’s soldiers
No full textA Brigada Militar (BM), Polícia Militar do Rio Grande do Sul, atualmente conta com mais de 60% de seu efetivo composto por soldados. O objetivo de estudo da tese é verificar como os estilos de vida e a agency que eles admitem nos permitem compreender os significados de pertencimento à profissão dos soldados da Brigada Militar. O trabalho de campo foi realizado entre 2007 e 2009 no cotidiano profissional e pessoal dos interlocutores, policiais militares do 22º Batalhão de Polícia Militar do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, com sede em Lajeado. No trabalho de campo para a tese, também foi utilizado um formulário preenchido pela pesquisadora durante os encontros etnográficos. Os resultados apontaram diferenças entre formas de adesão à identidade profissional prescrita e estilos de vida entre aqueles que se consideram “ser brigadianos” e os que “trabalham na Brigada”, distinções essas associadas às origens sociais, capitais simbólicos e capitais culturais adquiridos e visões de mundo limitadas à estrutura social e às regras da profissão. O estudo conclui sobre a diversidade de estilos de vida associados à profissão.Currently in the Military Brigade (BM) - Military Police of Rio Grande do Sul - 60% of its unit is composed by soldiers. The aim of the present thesis study is to understand how lifestyles and agency are acquainted with the comprehension of the meaning of belonging to the profession of Military Brigade’s soldiers. Data collecting was carried out from 2007 to 2009 in the professional and personal routine of interlocutors, military police of the 22nd Battalion of Military Police of the state of Rio Grande do Sul - headquarters in Lajeado. In order to collect data for the thesis, the researcher filled in a form during ethnographic meetings. The results showed diversity concerning to forms of adhesion and lifestyles to the professional identity prescribed among those soldiers who consider themselves "being a brigadier" and "working in the Brigade" associated to social background, symbolical and cultural capital acquired, and world vision limited to social structure and rules of profession. The study concludes the diversity of lifestyles associated to profession
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
Reinserção social da população do cárcere e suas expectativas no projeto Olimpo em Belém do Pará
No full textO Sistema Penitenciário Brasileiro atual vive uma realidade bastante complexa. Deste modo, desenvolver este trabalho possibilitou uma investigação científica sobre os desafios dos projetos de reinserção social da população do cárcere e as expectativas dos presos que participam do projeto OLIMPO, já que esse trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar qual a percepção dos presos que participam das atividades laborais implementadas pelo sistema carcerário, quando do cumprimento de suas Penas. A Pesquisa baseou-se na metodologia qualitativa, utilizando a técnica do grupo focal. Entre os seus resultados, detectaram-se aspectos referentes ao perfil dos presos envolvidos no projeto, bem como a grande satisfação destes em participarem de programas voltados para atividades laborais, esclarecendo, assim, que o trabalho para os presos no sistema penitenciário está relacionado principalmente ao direito à remição de pena e aos privilégios ofertados intramuros, como saídas diárias ao trabalho, possibilidade de visita aos familiares e amigos.</jats:p
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
