Ecofeminism in the Amazon: analysis of the practices and perspectives of female leaders to achieve the sustainable development goals
No full textBefore the first global conferences began to meet to discuss the socio-environmental consequences and effects, women were already denouncing deforestation, the use of pesticides, the violence of war and nuclear energy, as well as demonstrating against the tragedies and calamities that occurred. by human responsibility. The general objective of this study was to analyze the practice and discourse of female leaders working in the Amazon and their relationship with sustainable development. Specifically, we sought to: describe the main ecofeminist practices and perspectives in the causes; and highlight how the actions carried out by women cooperated in achieving the 2030 Agenda. This is a qualitative, descriptive research, based on Grounded Theory and data collection was carried out using non-probabilistic “Snowball” sampling with obtaining 8 interviewees. The discussion of the results was divided into two categories: “Ecofeminist practices and perspectives”, and “Actions that cooperate to achieve the 2030 Agenda” such as environmental education, in accordance with the 4th goal of quality education of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG); small-scale agriculture, achieving the 2nd goal of zero hunger and sustainable agriculture, pastoral and forestry systems, the extractive and agrarian reform model, forest management, by cooperating with the 15th goal of terrestrial life; reuse, selective collection, composting and use of fertilizer, contributing to the 12th goal of conscious consumption and production of the 17 SDGs.Antes que as primeiras conferências globais começassem a se reunir para tratar sobre as consequências e efeitos socioambientais, as mulheres já denunciavam o desflorestamento, o uso de agrotóxico, a violência da guerra e da energia nuclear, como também se manifestavam contra as tragédias e calamidades ocorridas por responsabilidade humana. O objetivo geral deste estudo foi analisar a prática e o discurso de lideranças femininas atuantes na Amazônia e sua relação com o desenvolvimento sustentável. Especificamente buscou-se: descrever as principais práticas e perspectivas ecofeministas nas causas; e evidenciar de que forma as ações desempenhadas pelas mulheres cooperaram para a consecução da Agenda 2030. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva, baseada na Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados e realizada a coleta de dados a partir da amostragem não probabilística “Snowball” com obtenção de 8 entrevistadas. A discussão dos resultados foi dividida em duas categorias: “Práticas e perspectivas ecofeministas”, e "Ações que cooperam para a consecução da Agenda 2030” como a educação ambiental, de acordo com a 4° meta de educação de qualidade dos Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS); a agricultura pequena, alcançando a 2° meta de fome zero e agricultura sustentável, os sistemas pastoril e de silvicultura, o modelo extrativista e de reforma agrária, o manejo florestal, ao cooperar com a 15° meta de vida terrestre; a reutilização, coleta seletiva, compostagem e uso de adubo, contribuindo com a 12° meta de consumo e produção conscientes dos 17 ODS.2Preencher automaticamente alguns dados após o anexo do documento, grata!Nã
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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

Ao analisar a prática e o discurso de lideranças femininas atuantes na Amazônia, foi possível descrever as principais práticas e perspectivas ecofeministas nas causas ambientais, ligadas às atividades agrícolas e extrativistas, à educação ambiental e uso das mídias sociais, ressaltando um viés local fator-chave ao complementar a atuação planetária; e evidenciou de que forma as ações desempenhadas pelas mulheres cooperaram para a consecução da Agenda 2030. contribuindo ao marco histórico da agenda ambiental e ao desenvolvimento sustentável. Este trabalho evidencia como a atuação da liderança feminina na região Amazônica desempenha ações fundamentais que interseccionam a natureza, a dignidade humana, a igualdade de gênero, o meio social e o econômico, contribuindo com os Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS)
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
