ESPORTE ESCOLAR COMO FATOR DE INTEGRAÇÃO NA FRONTEIRA BRASIL-BOLÍVIA: UMA ANÁLISE NAS ESCOLAS MUNICIPAIS DE CORUMBÁ-MS
No full textThis study seeks to understand the public policies on school sports applied to Sports Initiation and Sports Training projects developed as extracurricular activities in municipal schools in Corumbá-MS (Brazil), focusing on those units that have a considerable presence of students who live in Bolivia and commute daily to study in Brazilian schools, called in this study “pendular migrant students”. Located in the border region between Brazil and Bolivia, the city of Corumbá has diverse and peculiar characteristics, and, in the field of education, Brazilian and Bolivian students from different cultural backgrounds interact with one another. In this sense, our general objective was to analyze the consequences, obstacles and possibilities existing in the participation and integration of pendular migrant students in after-school sport projects of the Municipal Education Network (Reme) as well as aspects of the performance of Physical Education teachers. To achieve this purpose, guiding documents of the global panorama of public policies for sports in Brazil, the state of Mato Grosso do Sul and the city of Corumbá-MS were analyzed, addressing the sport phenomenom in border regions, emphasizing the uniqueness of the students who attend schools in these regions. The research was carried out at the three Municipal Schools: Caic Pe. Ernesto Sassida, Cyríaco Félix de Toledo and Pedro Paulo de Medeiros, while Physical Education teachers and pendular migrant students enrolled in sport activities of the of the Municipal Education Network (Reme) project were surveyed. Considering that the research has qualitative and quantitative characteristics, a form with open and closed questions was created for each research group, establishing a kind of guiding script. Some of the main aspects found during the research are: the cultural conflicts generated between students living in Bolivia and Brazil; the difficulty in understanding the language; the lack of acceptance of Brazilian students towards pendular migrant students; the need for investments in adequate training aimed at the increase of awareness by Physical Education teachers regarding aspects of intercultural education in the border region where the study took place; the lack of public policies that seek to improve the participation in sports projects of students (pendular migrants) who live in the neighboring country (Bolivia) after school hours. In conclusion, the results point to the need for implementation of differentiated public policies for sport practices in schools that belong to the Municipal Education Network (Reme) in Corumbá-MS, especially when the border context (Brazil-Bolivia) is brought to consideration, as well as the expansion of debates during training moments of teachers.Este estudo busca compreender as políticas públicas do esporte escolar aplicadas aos projetos de Iniciação Esportiva e Treinamento Esportivo desenvolvidos como atividades extracurriculares nas escolas municipais de Corumbá-MS (Brasil), especialmente aquelas unidades que têm a presença considerável de alunos que moram na Bolívia e se dirigem diariamente para estudar nas escolas brasileiras, denominados no trabalho de “alunos pendulares”. O município possui características diversas e peculiares devido à sua condição de região fronteiriça (Brasil-Bolívia), sendo que, no campo da educação, existe a convivência de brasileiros e alunos oriundos da Bolívia com culturas e hábitos diferentes. Nesse sentido, nosso objetivo geral foi analisar as consequências, os entraves e as possibilidades existentes na participação e integração dos alunos pendulares nos projetos esportivos de contraturno escolar da Rede Municipal de Ensino (Reme) e os aspectos sobre a atuação dos professores de Educação Física neles também. À vista disso, foram analisados documentos norteadores do panorama global das políticas públicas de esporte do Brasil, do estado de Mato Grosso do Sul e do município de Corumbá-MS além de abordar o fenômeno esportivo inserido nas regiões fronteiriças, dando ênfase à singularidade dos alunos que frequentam escolas dessas regiões. A pesquisa de campo foi desenvolvida na Escola Municipal Caic Pe. Ernesto Sassida, na Escola Municipal Cyríaco Félix de Toledo e na Escola Municipal Pedro Paulo de Medeiros, sendo que os pesquisados foram os docentes de Educação Física e os alunos pendulares que são inscritos nas atividades dos projetos esportivos da Reme de Corumbá-MS. Por se tratar de uma pesquisa com características qualitativas e quantitativas, foi elaborado para cada grupo pesquisado um formulário com perguntas abertas e fechadas, estabelecendo uma espécie de roteiro orientador. Dentre os principais aspectos encontrados na pesquisa estão: os conflitos culturais gerados entre alunos moradores da Bolívia e do Brasil; a dificuldade na compreensão do idioma; a falta de aceitabilidade de alunos brasileiros para com os pendulares; a necessidade de investimentos em capacitações adequadas visando à compreensão dos docentes (Educação Física) quanto aos aspectos da educação intercultural na região fronteiriça do estudo; a carência de políticas públicas que busquem melhorar a participação nos projetos esportivos de alunos (pendulares) que moram no país vizinho (Bolívia) no contraturno escolar da Reme. Em conclusão, os resultados apontam a necessidade da implementação de políticas públicas diferenciadas para as práticas esportivas em escolas da Reme de Corumbá-MS, sobretudo ao considerar o contexto fronteiriço (Brasil-Bolívia), bem como a ampliação de debates durante os momentos de capacitações dos seus professores
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
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

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.
