A aldeia dos encantados: intrusão cosmopolítica em uma assembleia indígena apurinã
Get PDFTendo como mote a descrição de uma assembleia indígena situada em uma região ameaçada pelo desmatamento ocasionado pelo avanço da fronteira agrícola no sul do Estado do Amazonas (municípios de Boca do Acre e Pauini), faço uma reflexão acerca dos “vestígios e sinais de modos de vida passados carregados no presente”, ou aquilo que Anna Tsing et al. (2017) nomeiam como “fantasmas do antropoceno soprando sobre paisagens assombradas”. Talvez o legado secular do “tempo dos seringais” herdado pelos Apurinã não tenha sido propriamente paisagens degradadas, contaminadas ou destruídas, mas paisagens assombradas por modos de vida passados. Como prestar atenção a esse palimpsesto de tempo/espaço presente nas paisagens quando nos propomos a seguir nossos interlocutores ao longo de suas redes terrestres? A história que trago aqui é fruto de um desses meus deslocamentos pelo Purus ao acompanhar os Apurinã – participando de uma assembleia - e desdobrar ao longo dessas linhas o leque de controvérsias nos quais estão metidos (Latour 2012)
Refazendo o sertão : o lugar do buriti (Mauritia flexuosa Linn.f.) na cultura sertaneja de Terra Ronca - GO
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado)—Universidade de Brasília, Centro de Desenvolvimento Sustentável, 2009.Tendo por base a concepção de conservação da biodiversidade conciliada à cultura de comunidades locais, esta dissertação trata da relação entre os sertanejos de Terra Ronca com o buriti (Mauritia flexuosa Lnn. f.) - patrimônios cultural e natural do Cerrado. Sua proposta foi construir um texto multidisciplinar buscando compreender o lugar que o buriti ocupa na cultura sertaneja de Terra Ronca e sua conexão com a comunidade local. Seu objetivo é entender o contexto ecológico e sociocultural no qual o buriti é utilizado, para então, contribuir na elaboração de propostas de uso sustentável da sociobiodiversidade no local onde foram coletados os dados. Utiliza-se o buriti como tema-gerador para realizar um amplo levantamento de informações sobre a história natural, botânica, etnobotânica, ecologia e aspectos sociais e econômicos a respeito dessa palmeira. Por outro lado, foi realizado um levantamento sobre a história, a cultura e as características socioambientais de Terra Ronca, no intuito de entender o contexto geral e específico no qual a planta é utilizada. No contexto atual de Terra Ronca, o buriti tem valor cultural e ecológico relevante, podendo ser aproveitado como uma “espécie-bandeira”, pois se antigamente era a árvore da vida para o sertanejo, porque servia para “casa, comida e dormida”, hoje adquire um novo status, como símbolo da conservação da água e da biodiversidade.This work is about the relationship between rural people from the community of Terra Ronca in the state of Goiás, Brazil, and the buriti palm (Mauritia flexuosa Lnn.f.), which are cultural and natural heritages of the Cerrado. The theoretical approach of the work is the ethnobotany and ethnoecology. It is a multidisciplinary text and it is an attempt to understand the totality of the place of buriti in a rural culture of Terra Ronca and direct interaction by the people with the palm. It is concerned to study the ecological and sociocultural context in which the buriti is used and then to present proposals for the sustainable use of the sociobiodiversity where the research data were collected. The buriti is the mainstream from which all the information is organized such as its natural history, botany, ethnobotany, ecology and its social and economic aspects. A study about the history, the culture and the social environmental characteristics about Terra Ronca was also developed because it was necessary to understand the general and specific contexts where the palm is used. The buriti palm in Terra Ronca has an important cultural and ecological value, because it is a remarkable symbol: in the past the buriti was the “house, the food and the bed” for the rural people and today it is a symbol of the water conservation and of the biodiversity.Centro de Desenvolvimento SustentávelPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Desenvolvimento Sustentáve
Chapitre 14. Le monde dans un fruit de castanheira

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
