O impacto de uma instituição pública de habitação social na promoção do desenvolvimento comunitário local. Estudo de caso na Região Autónoma da Madeira
Get PDFAs dificuldades sociais, económicas, políticas e culturais existentes em alguns
grupos sociais advêm essencialmente de situações de vulnerabilidade, resultado dos
rendimentos baixos, condições precárias de vida e desemprego. Assim sendo, cabe às
entidades competentes o angariar de estratégias que deem resposta a estes casos, de modo
a combater comportamentos desviantes e evitar que estas pessoas sejam marginalizadas.
No caso específico da Região Autónoma da Madeira (RAM), verificamos através
de dados da Direção Regional de Estatística da Madeira, a existência de elevadas
percentagens de indivíduos em risco de pobreza. Face a esta problemática, o Governo
Regional através de uma organização pública de habitação social, tem desenvolvido
estratégias de modo a dar resposta aos problemas habitacionais e laborais desses cidadãos,
acompanhando-os e envolvendo-os simultaneamente em dinâmicas de trabalho social.
Por esse facto, o presente estudo de caso teve como finalidade compreender o
contexto e os processos de liderança dos intervenientes daquela organização pública de
habitação social da Região Autónoma da Madeira, de modo a determinar o seu impacto
no desenvolvimento comunitário local. Deste modo, procurámos caraterizar o contexto
organizacional da instituição, identificar os processos de liderança, descrever as
atividades desenvolvidas no contexto da comunidade, identificar os processos de
liderança existentes e determinar o impacto da organização no desenvolvimento
comunitário local.
Para a realização deste estudo, foram utilizadas metodologias qualitativas e
quantitativas.
As técnicas e instrumentos de recolha de dados recaíram sobre a pesquisa
documental, a pesquisa bibliográfica, a realização de entrevistas e inquéritos por
questionário aplicados a 2 técnicas de um dos Polos Comunitários da organização e aos
utentes da mesma.
Para a análise e interpretação dos dados recolhidos utilizaram-se as técnicas de
análise de conteúdo, a triangulação de dados, bem como alguns indicadores estatísticos.
Conclui-se que o trabalho realizado por esta organização pública de habitação
social tem grande importância para a comunidade local através de procedimentos onde se
destacam os apoios à habitação e as atividades realizadas nos Polo Comunitários que
promovem a inclusão social e a formação dos utentes e ajudam a combater problemas de
solidão através da ocupação de tempos livres.The social, economic, political and cultural difficulties that exist in some social
groups essentially arise from situations of vulnerability, as a result of low income,
precarious living conditions and unemployment. Therefore, it is up to the competent
authorities to develop strategies that respond to these cases, in order to combat deviant
behavior and prevent these people from being marginalized.
In the specific case of the Autonomous Region of Madeira (RAM), we verified,
through data from the Directorate Statistics of Madeira, the existence of high percentages
of individuals at risk of poverty. Faced with this problem, the Regional Government,
through a public social housing organization, has developed strategies in order to respond
to the housing and work problems of these citizens, accompanying them and
simultaneously involving them in social work dynamics.
For this reason, the purpose of this case study was to understand the context and
leadership processes of those involved in that public social housing organization in the
Autonomous Region of Madeira, in order to determine its impact on local community
development. In this way, we sought to characterize the organizational context of the
institution, identify the leadership processes, describe the activities carried out in the
community context, identify the existing leadership processes and determine the
organization's impact on local community development.
To carry out this study, qualitative and quantitative methodologies were used.
The data collection techniques and instruments fell on documentary research,
bibliographical research, interviews and questionnaire surveys applied to 2 techniques
from one of the organization's Community Centers and its users.
For the analysis and interpretation of the data collected, content analysis
techniques, data triangulation, as well as some statistical indicators were used.
It is concluded that the work carried out by this public social housing organization
is of great importance for the local community through procedures that highlight housing
support and activities carried out in Community Hubs that promote social inclusion and
training of users and help to combat problems of loneliness through the occupation of free
time
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
