Projetos ecológicos e o desenvolvimento local - estudo de caso do projeto Tamar
No full textp. 1-229Esta dissertação é um estudo de caso exploratório que analisa o modus operandi do Projeto TAMAR e suas relações com o desenvolvimento local. Trata-se de um projeto ecológico que vêm sendo realizado, sob um regime híbrido, entre o Estado e o Terceiro Setor, envolvendo respectivamente o Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e Recursos Naturais Renováveis-IBAMA e a Fundação PRÓ-TAMAR. São executadas políticas e atividades consideradas essenciais para a proteção das tartarugas marinhas, em 20 bases operacionais, localizadas em pequenas comunidades litorâneas de 8 estados do Brasil. O Projeto TAMAR, durante seus 20 anos de existência, evoluiu de uma perspectiva stricto sensu ambientalista para outra, superior, socioambiental. A organização experimentou tal evolução operando dentro de uma multiculturalidade, agregando características das diversas culturas locais, realizando ações que promovem a conservação da biodiversidade, imbricadas no respeito às tradições locais – valorização cultural; atividades educacionais e a criação de alternativas econômicas que buscam viabilizar a sustentabilidade das comunidades locais.
Este estudo, em primeiro lugar, apresenta uma abordagem sobre as questões ambientais, os paradigmas contemporâneos de desenvolvimento e o princípio da subsidiariedade, base teórica sobre as quais se fundamentaram as premissas da pesquisa. Em seguida, aborda-se a organização TAMAR, desde a sua criação, a gestão integrada e suas transformações organizacionais, relacionando-se as atividades institucionais com a promoção do desenvolvimento local. Além das atividades de conservação das tartarugas marinhas são abordados três outros tipos de ações: os programas educativos, a valorização cultural e as alternativas econômicas sustentáveis.
A pesquisa, desenvolvida com fontes primárias e secundárias, indicou que uma das maiores contribuições do Projeto TAMAR é a de fazer com que os gestores das bases operacionais fixem residência nas comunidades, situadas no entorno das atividades institucionais. Tal estratégia aparece como o principal requisito para que outros programas congêneres desenvolvam a capacidade de perceber a realidade de cada local, passo fundamental e inescapável para que uma organização inicie um processo de desenvolvimento local.
Evidencia-se que a continuidade das atividades proporcionou o amadurecimento das relações entre a organização objeto deste estudo e as comunidades locais. Foram estabelecidos valores de credibilidade, respeito e laços de confiança entre o Projeto TAMAR e as comunidades inseridas em sua a área de atuação. Em conseqüência, surgiram processos de inclusão social, inicialmente vinculados às ações de conservação das tartarugas marinhas e, em seguida, nos grupos produtivos associados. Em estágio mais avançado, atingiu-se também outros beneficiários indiretos, ligados à prestação de serviços na área do ecoturismo.Salvado
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
Love-Sickness in Song of Songs and Ancient Egyptian Love Songs: A Comparison Involving Conceptual Metaphors with a Side Glance at the Amnon-Tamar Narrative
No full textDie Liebeskrankheit wird definiert und ihr ambiger Gebrauch erläutert. Neben dem Hohelied wird die Amnon-Tamar-Erzählung mit aufgenommen, da an ihr ein weiterer Aspekt der Liebeskrankheit aufgezeigt werden kann. Der Aufsatz gliedert sich in drei Teile. Erstens werden direkte und indirekte Referenzen zur Liebeskrankheit im Hohelied analysiert. Zweitens werden Gedichte zur Liebeskrankheit aus altägyptischen Liebesliedern zusammengestellt und in die Kategorien Psychosomatik, Kontrollverlust, Unerreichbarkeit, Jagen/Falle und vorgetäuschter Krankheit gegliedert. Dabei werden mögliche thematische oder konzeptionelle Bezüge zum Hohelied miteinbezogen. Schließlich werden konzeptionelle Metaphern herausgearbeitet, welche sowohl im Hohelied als auch in altägyptischen Liebesliedern Verwendung finden und so den Blick für die Textinterpretation schärfen.The love sickness is defined and its ambiguous use explained. In addition to the Song of Songs, the Amnon-Tamar narrative is included, as it can be used to illustrate another aspect of the love sickness. The essay is divided into three parts. First, direct and indirect references to lovesickness in Song of Songs are analysed. Second, poems on love sickness from ancient Egyptian love songs are compiled and categorised as psychosomatic, loss of control, unattainability, hunting/trapping and feigned sickness. Possible thematic or conceptual references to Song of Songs are included. Finally, conceptual metaphors that are used both in Song of Songs and in ancient Egyptian love songs are worked out, thus improving the awareness for the interpretation of the text
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
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
