    Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (graduação) — Universidade de Brasília, Instituto de Ciências Sociais, Departamento de Sociologia, 2021.A confiança no sistema de peritos é uma das características centrais na modernidade (GIDDENS, 1991). Para este trabalho partimos da noção de que na era da pós-verdade algumas instituições modernas que usufruíram de um poder epistêmico vasto passam agora por um crise em que há perda de confiança nestes sistemas de peritos, como é o caso da ciência e da mídia tradicional. Esta crise de confiança, no contexto da pandemia da Covid-19, propicia a disseminação de fake news acerca da vacina contra o novo coronavírus nas redes sociais o que pode ser prejudicial para a saúde em geral. Além disso, no discurso cotidiano do presidente da República, Jair Messias Bolsonaro, fica explícita sua atitude negacionista e o estímulo à desconfiança acerca da imunização contra a Covid-19. Diante disto, resgatamos o conceito de sistemas peritos em Giddens (1991) e buscamos verificar como se vincula a (des)confiança acerca destes na era da pós-verdade. Os dados coletados do presente trabalho são referentes ao Projeto de Iniciação Científica (PIBIC) denominado: Os apoiadores de Bolsonaro e a pandemia da Covid-19, mais especificamente, no que concerne às percepções dos apoiadores de Bolsonaro do Distrito Federal sobre as vacinas contra a Covid-19. Foram realizadas 29 entrevistas, sendo 13 mulheres e 16 homens, com faixa etária entre 19 e 68 anos. Nos resultados, verificou-se que a maioria dos apoiadores críticos de Bolsonaro demonstraram ter uma maior intenção de se vacinar, ao passo que, dentre os apoiadores fiéis observou-se uma menor intenção de se vacinar contra a Covid-19.Trust in the expert system is one of the central characteristics of modernity (GIDDENS, 1991). However, in the post-truth era, it is noted that some modern institutions that enjoyed vast epistemic power are now going through a crisis in which there is a loss of confidence in these expert systems, as is the case with science and traditional media. This crisis of confidence, in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, provides the dissemination of fake news about the vaccine against the new coronavirus on social medias, which can be harmful to health in general. In addition, in the daily speech of the president of the Republic, Jair Messias Bolsonaro, his denial attitude and the encouragement of distrust regarding the immunization against Covid- 19 are explicit. Given this, we rescued the concept of expert systems in Giddens and sought to verify how the (dis)trust about them is linked in the post-truth era. The data collected from this study refer to the Scientific Initiation Project (PIBIC) called: Bolsonaro supporters and the Covid-19 pandemic, more specifically, with regard to the perceptions of Bolsonaro supporters in the Federal District about vaccines against Covid-19. Twenty-nine interviews were conducted, with 13 women and 16 men, aged between 19 and 68 years. In the results found, it was noted that most of Bolsonaro's critical supporters demonstrated a greater intention to be vaccinated, while among faithful supporters there was a lower intention to be vaccinated against Covid-19

    Skinhead: Incursões no movimento estético

    Este projeto tem como objetivo analisar as influências estéticas que embasaram o movimento skinhead e quais as manifestações estéticas deles ao longo dos tempos. E também como eles contribuíram para manifestações de grupos juvenis da mesma época. Para isso serão levadas em consideração as estéticas de movimentos juvenis anteriores e contemporâneos aos skinheads, devido a sua importância para essa expressão artística. No término da pesquisa, foi feita uma análise comparativa entre o filme “Laranja Mecânica” e o movimento skinhead, a qual ressalta a estética de violência presente no grupo e conseqüentemente nos movimentos juvenis do mesmo momento

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 PDF
    We 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 PDF
    We 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 text
    We 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
