GUERRA ÀS DROGAS NA ERA CARDOSO: BRASIL, NARCOTRÁFICO E A QUESTÃO DAS FRONTEIRAS
Get PDFSince the beginning of the 1970s, the context of the “War on Drugs” established, throughthe imposition of the United States and the United Nations, international limits forBrazilian action, resulting in a prohibitionist strategy. In this way, the research axis focusesaround the foreign policy adopted by the FHC government and Brazil’s stance on the drugsissue during this period, emphasizing the influence exerted by the “War on Drugs” context.Thus, the article used a wide bibliographic survey around the theme of securitization ofdrug repression policies and border control, with emphasis on the Amazon frontier, withinthe scope of Brazilian foreign policy, together with a documentary research of internationalreports and national legislation related to the issue of drugs.Desde o início da década de 1970, o contexto da “Guerra às Drogas” estabeleceu, por meio da imposição dos Estados Unidos e das Nações Unidas, limites internacionais para a atuação brasileira, resultando em uma estratégia proibicionista. Dessa forma, o eixo da investigação se concentra a cerca da política externa adotada pelo governo de FHC e da postura do Brasil em relação à questão das drogas durante esse período, enfatizando a influência exercida pelo contexto da “Guerra às Drogas”. Assim, o artigo utilizou-se de um amplo levantamento bibliográfico em torno da temático da securitização das políticas de repressão às drogas e controle de fronteiras, com ênfase na fronteira amazônica, no âmbito da política externa brasileira, juntamente a uma pesquisa documental de relatórios internacionais e da legislação nacional relacionada à questão das drogas
Notas sobre as Contribuições da Sociologia Histórica às Relações Internacionais
Get PDFThe use of History and Sociology in the studies of International Relations (IR) has shaped several specific approaches throughout the development of the discipline—through the works of Edward Carr, for example, as well as within a post-war French tradition, stemming from Raymond Aron and Marcel Merle. The synthesis of these two disciplines, through the establishment of Historical Sociology (HS) in the late 1970s, provided significant analytical gains for the study of international phenomena, prompting many of these sociologists to seek interactions with the field of IR for the understanding of macro-historical processes. Thus, this article aims to understand to what extent HS can contribute to the field of IR, by presenting a feasible alternative to static and ahistorical understandings of the discipline. We will also seek to demonstrate the importance of HS as a theoretical-methodological approach capable of contributing to the proliferation of the field of the History of IR.O uso da História e da Sociologia nos estudos das Relações Internacionais (RI) configuraram algumas específicas abordagens ao longo do desenvolvimento da disciplina – através dos trabalhos de Edward Carr, por exemplo, mas também em uma tradição francesa do pós-guerra, a partir de Raymond Aron e Marcel Merle. A junção destas duas disciplinas, através da criação da Sociologia Histórica (SH), no final dos anos de 1970, proporcionou ganhos analíticos reais para os estudos dos fenômenos internacionais, fazendo com que muitos destes sociólogos buscassem interações com o campo das RI para a compreensão de processos macro-históricos. Dessa forma, este artigo tem por objetivo compreender em que medida a SH pode colaborar com o campo das RI, ao apresentar uma alternativa factível à entendimentos estáticos e ahistoricistas da disciplina. Buscaremos demonstrar, também, a importância da SH enquanto abordagem teórica-metodológica capaz de contribuir com a proliferação do campo da História das RI
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
