Variations on the Author
No full text“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
Temporal modulation transfer functions in the European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris): II. Responses of auditory-nerve fibres
No full textThe temporal resolution of cochlear-nerve fibres in the European starling was determined with sinusoidally amplitude-modulated noise stimuli similar to those previously used in a psychoacoustic study in this species (Klump and Okanoya, 1991). Temporal modulation transfer curves (TMTFs) were constructed for cochlear afferents allowing a direct comparison with the starling's behavioural performance. On average, the neuron's detection of modulation was less sensitive than that obtained in the behavioural experiments, although the most sensitive cells approached the values determined psychophysically. The shapes of the neural TMTFs generally resembled low-pass or band-pass filter functions, and the shapes of the averaged neural functions were very similar to those obtained in the behavioural study for two different types of stimuli (gated and continuous carrier). Minimum integration times calculated from the upper cut-off frequency of the neural TMTFs had a median of 0.97 ms with a range of 0.25 to 15.9 ms. The relations between the minimum integration times and the tuning characteristics of the cells (tuning curve bandwidth, Q10 dB-value, high- and low-frequency slopes of the tuning curves) are discussed. Finally, we compare the TMTF data recorded in the starling auditory nerve with data from neurophysiological and behavioural observations on temporal resolution using other experimental paradigms in this and other vertebrate species
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Domestication differentially affects cochlear nucleus subdivisions in the gerbil
No full textWe analyzed the effects of domestication on the subdivisions of the cochlear nucleus in the gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) by comparing their volumes and rostrocaudal extents in laboratory gerbils and in age-matched F1 offspring of gerbils caught in the wild. In addition, soma size was systematically analyzed in the anteroventral cochlear nucleus of both groups. Total cochlear nucleus volume and rostrocaudal extent were not significantly different between groups either for young (postnatal day 9) animals before the onset of hearing or for young 4-month-old animals. However, the dorsal cochlear nucleus was significantly larger and the anteroventral cochlear nucleus was significantly smaller in young adults of the wild strain. Thus the relative proportions of the cochlear nucleus subdivisions differed between the groups. In addition, soma size was significantly larger in the low-frequency portion of the anterovental cochlear nucleus in domesticated gerbils compared to wild gerbils. To our knowledge, this is the first reported instance of a well-defined brain structure (e.g., the antreovental cochlear nucleus) being larger in the domesticated than in the wild form
The organization of tip links and stereocilia on hair cells of bird and lizard basilar papillae
No full textAuditory papillae from three species of bird (pigeon, starling, and chick), and two species of European lizard (Podarcis murolis and Podarcis sic&) were examined by scanning electron microscopy. Hair bundles from all papillae showed tip links oriented along the direction of gradation in heights of the stereocilia (i.e. parallel to the hair-cell axis of bilateral symmetry, and so parallel to the
excitato~-i~bito~ axis for m~hanotransduction). This orientation was seen irrespective of the overall orientation of the hair bundle within the papilla. The stereocilia formed columns, joined by the tip links, which ran parallel to the hair-cell axis of bilateral symmetry. The stereocilia within the same column tended to stay together, while those in different columns tended to separate during preparation, In many columns ail the stereocilia tended to be a little taller, or a little shorter, than the equivalent stereocilia in adjacent columns, suggesting that all the stereocilia within one column had been affected by a common height determinant during development. In addition, links running laterally between stereocilia were seen, in a band near the base of the stereocilia. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that tip links are a universal feature of mechano-transducing acousticolateral hair cells, and that
they are involved in sensory transduction. The results also support suggestions that the tip links may play a role in determining the heights of the stereocilia during development
O Desafio da produção de conteúdos noticiosos multimídia no cenário da convergência: a experiência dos repórteres do Diário Catarinense
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Jornalismo, Florianópolis, 2011Antes mesmo de ser um consenso entre os teóricos, a adaptação de redações em busca de uma equipe multimídia vive experiências concretas. Acompanhando o ritmo dos grandes jornais nacionais, o Diário Catarinense, veículo do Grupo RBS com sede em Florianópolis (SC), aparenta estar disposto a rever as rotinas de produção em busca de adequação ao novo cenário do jornalismo digital. Este trabalho pretende mostrar como os repórteres da versão impressa do DC estão lidando com este processo na prática e na teoria, apontando o que os profissionais reconhecem como exemplos de exercícios multimídia e os desafios enfrentados para sua execução no dia a dia. As entrevistas com 27 repórteres foram realizadas entre o segundo semestre de 2010 e o primeiro de 2011, seguidas por conversas com os editores-chefe do jornal e do site. Entre os problemas apontados nesta fase de adaptação, aparecem a limitação de conhecimentos técnicos, a falta de tempo e a dificuldade de fazer mais de uma coisa simultaneamente. Como resposta, a direção do DC anuncia uma rodada de treinamentos e a mudança para um novo prédio, planejado para integrar as redações on e off, até o final de 2011.The effort of assimilating multimedia in the newsroom is having its results even before the consensus of theorists about it. Comparing with national newspapers, Diário Catarinense, a regional newspaper of RBS group, is also inclined to adapt the newsmaking routine according to the rules of digital journalism. This project intends to show how DC´s reporters are dealing with this process. The objective is to verify what professionals recognize as multimedia aplications and to debate the challenges they have to overcome in their work routines. The interviews with 27 reporters have been done between the second half of 2010 and the first of 2011, followed by interviews with the editors of the newspaper and the site. Some examples of the problems identified at this stage of adaptation are limited technical knowledge, lack of time and trouble to do more than one thing simultaneously. In response, the direction of DC announces a round of training and moving to a new building, planned to integrate the newsroom on-line and offline, until the end of 2011
