No full textRELAÇÕES E CONCEPÇÕES DE CRIANÇAS COM/SOBRE A NATUREZA: UM ESTUDO EM UMA ESCOLA MUNICIPAL
No full textEsta dissertação tem como objeto de estudo as relações entre crianças e
natureza e foi realizada em uma escola pública de um município da região
metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro. No contexto de emergência planetária
vivenciado atualmente, urge repensar as relações entre seres humanos e natureza.
Para isso, a articulação entre as dimensões macro e micro se faz necessária,
considerando o campo da Educação Infantil e a escola, mais especificamente,
como ambiente facilitador da construção de uma relação simétrica e próxima entre
seres humanos e natureza. Este trabalho dialoga com referenciais teóricos dos
campos da Filosofia, da Psicologia do desenvolvimento e da Sociologia da
infância. A discussão está articulada aos conceitos da ecosofia de Felix Guattari,
do pensamento complexo de Edgar Morin, da teoria psicogenética de Henri
Wallon e das concepções de Humberto Maturana acerca da educação, além do
conceito de reprodução interpretativa de Corsaro. O primeiro capítulo apresenta os
caminhos, simbólicos e concretos, percorridos na construção da dissertação. O
segundo capítulo traça um panorama da escola, abordando os contextos
pedagógico, cultural e das práticas cotidianas característicos da instituição
pesquisada. No terceiro capítulo, são apresentadas as categorias advindas do
campo que contemplam especificamente a natureza, pensando a relação entre
seres humanos e biodiversidade. Por fim, são tecidas as considerações finais,
refletindo sobre as práticas pedagógicas e sua pertinência na construção de uma
educação coerente com as necessidades planetárias atuais.This dissertation studies the relationship between children and nature, and
took place in a public school from a city nearby Rio de Janeiro. Regarding the
planetary emergency situation in what we live, it is important to rethink relations
between humans and nature. For this, it is needed to connect macro and micro
dimensions, considering Early Childhood Education, and school more
specifically, as an enabling environment capable to support the construction of a
symmetric relationship between humans and nature. This work is based on authors
from the fields of Philosophy, Developmental psychology and Sociology of
childhood. The discussion is articulated to the concepts of Felix Guattari`s
ecosophy, Edgar Morin`s complexity, Henri Wallon’s psychogenic theory,
Humberto Maturana`s reflections about education and Corsaro`s interpretive
reproduction. The first chapter presents the symbolic and concrete ways in the
dissertation`s construction process. The second section provides an overview of
the school, focusing on the educational, cultural, and everyday practices context
of the researched institution. The third chapter presents the categories concerning
about nature, thinking the relationship between humans and biodiversity. Finally,
it is presented a reflection about teaching practices and their relevance in the
construction of a consistent education, connected to the current planetary needs
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
