Industrial agglomerations in Brazil: use of territory and recent changes
No full textAs aglomerações industriais podem ser analisadas como formas geográficas que expressam a preparação do território para a atividade produtiva, inclusive a intencionalidade e as ações realizadas para a sua implantação, que ressaltam diferenças qualitativas e topológicas e eventualmente também combinações entre Estado e mercado. Foram identificados onze diferentes tipos de aglomerações industriais no Brasil, por meio de revisão bibliográfica e trabalho de campo realizado em dez unidades da federação, durante os quais foram entrevistados os principais agentes articulados à gestão destas áreas. Neste escopo, a análise geográfica das formas de aglomeração industrial permite apresentar feições do meio técnico-científico-informacional e do uso corporativo do território no período contemporâneo, bem como os processos pelos quais se reafirma a seletividade espacial no território brasileiro, evidenciando-se áreas com diferentes níveis de especialização.Industrial agglomerations can be analysed as geographic forms that express the preparation of the territory for productive activity, including the intentionality and actions taken towards its implantation, which highlight qualitative and topological differences, and occasionally, combinations between the State and the market. Eleven different types of industrial agglomerations have been identified in Brazil, through bibliographic review and field research done in ten states of the Brazilian Federation, where the main agents linked to the management of these areas were interviewed. Within this scope, the geographic analysis of the forms of industrial agglomeration allows us to present features of the technical-scientific-informational environment and the contemporary corporative use of the territory, as well as the processes through which the spatial selectivity in the Brazilian territory is reaffirmed and makes clear areas with different levels of specialization
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
Condomínios empresariais na Região Metropolitana de Campinas: intencionalidade e fatores locacionais
Get PDFDesde o final da década de 1990 a Região Metropolitana de Campinas é vista como território privilegiado para a promoção de condomínios empresariais que, de maneira geral, são empreendimentos planejados e construídos por promotores imobiliários que objetivam atender unidades industriais e de serviços. O objetivo deste trabalho, como parte do projeto de mestrado em desenvolvimento, é caracterizar os primeiros condomínios empresariais encontrados na Região Metropolitana de Campinas, contextualizando o momento de seu surgimento e intencionalidade, que têm nos condicionantes desta porção do território paulista elementos para sua explicação
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
CONDOMÍNIOS EMPRESARIAIS EM ÁREAS METROPOLITANAS DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO: UMA NOVA ESTRATÉGIA IMOBILIÁRIA
No full textOs condomínios empresariais podem ser apontados como um tipo de empreendimento recente no Brasil e no Estado de São Paulo. Em linhas gerais, começaram a instalar-se no final da década de 1990 e constituem novos espaços de uso produtivo. Expressam novas estratégias de atuação do capital imobiliário, associando tendências da reestruturação produtiva, como o imperativo da fluidez territorial, à urbanização e globalização em curso. O presente trabalho objetiva classificar estes empreendimentos a partir da análise de suas principais características infraestruturais e a intencionalidade que apresentam
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
