A dimensão ambiental em organizações produtivas: uma análise da racionalidade da economia de comunhão (EDC)
Get PDFTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Ambiental.O tema desta tese insere-se nos estudos de gestão ambiental em organizações. Discute a inserção da dimensão ambiental nos processos produtivos e de gestão, não apenas impulsionada por motivações mercadológicas, mas, também, por influência de valores éticos, estéticos e morais, tendo como objetivos: i) redefinir conceitualmente a problemática ambiental como uma problemática socioambiental; ii) estabelecer as relações entre esta problemática e o processo histórico de racionalização da vida ocorrido a partir do industrialismo; iii) fundar as relações entre a inserção da dimensão ambiental, como uma dimensão intrínseca nos processos produtivos e de gestão, e a presença de valores éticos, estéticos e morais, constitutivos de uma racionalidade substantiva. Trata-se, com efeito, do tipo de racionalidade sobre a qual se funda o processo de desenvolvimento e a própria noção de progresso. A contextualização histórica e conceitual do tema, bem como a construção do modelo teórico de análise, é feita tendo como fio condutor o conceito de racionalidade, partindo da noção aristotélica de razão, e, passando pelas análises de Max Weber, Karl Mannheim, autores da Escola de Frankfurt, Illich, Gorz, Polanyi, Ramos, até autores contemporâneos como Leff e Bruni. A partir desse quadro teórico, apresenta-se e analisa-se criticamente a experiência empírica de Economia de Comunhão (EdC), destacando seus fundamentos valorativos em termos espirituais, éticos e morais como motivadores da inerência da dimensão ambiental em tais organizações. É uma pesquisa qualitativa, com características de estudo de caso. Refere-se ao projeto EdC, como um todo, quando analisa os seus objetivos, concepção, fundamentos e princípios. Realiza-se no Brasil, quando se refere às entrevistas, na forma de colóquios, e observações participante, realizadas principalmente tendo como cenário os Congressos Nacionais de EdC e a resposta aos questionários enviados. Por fim, quando se reporta às empresas, enquanto unidades organizacionais produtivas com significativo impacto ambiental, a amostra é composta por sete empresas. A análise dos dados é feita utilizando-se o modelo de análise, os indicadores e a hipótese nele expressos. Dentre os resultados, destaca-se a importância, no que se refere aos fins de conservação ambiental, de experiências produtivas e de gestão baseadas não apenas nos critérios da racionalidade instrumental, mas que também sejam fundamentadas na racionalidade substantiva. The theme of this thesis is inserted in studies of environmental management of organizations. It discusses the inclusion of environmental considerations in productive processes and management, not only stimulated by market motivations, but also by the influence of ethical, aesthetic and moral values. Its objectives include: i) to conceptually redefine the environmental question as a social-environmental issue; ii) to establish the relationship between this issue and the historic process of rationalization of life that has taken place since industrialization; iii) to establish relationships between the insertion of the environmental dimension, as an intrinsic dimension of productive processes and management, and the presence of ethical, aesthetic and moral values, constitutive of a substantive rationality. It thus involves the type of rationality upon which development and the very notion of progress is established. The historic and conceptual contextualization of the theme, as well as the construction of a theoretic analytical model, are guided by an Aristotelian notion of reason. Analyses of Max Weber, Karl Mannheim, the Frankfurt School authors; Illich, Gorz, Polanyi, Ramos, and contemporary authors such as Leff and Bruni are conducted. Based on this theoretical framework, the thesis presents and critically analyzes the empirical experience of the Economy of Communion (EdC), highlighting its foundations in spiritual, ethical and moral values, which are seen as motivators of the inherent nature of the environmental dimension to these organizations. A qualitative analysis is conducted, based on a case study of the EdC project as a whole and its objectives, conceptions, foundations and principles. The interviews were conducted in Brazil, at colloquiums, and participant observations were mainly realized at National Congresses of the EdC. The study focuses on seven companies seen as organizational productive units with significant environmental impacts. Each responded to the questionnaires and was visited. The data was analyzed using the analysis model, indicators and hypothesis presented. The results concerning environmental conservation point to the importance of productive experiences and management based not only on criteria of instrumental rationality, but also on substantive rationality
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
