No full textDissertação apresentada ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Civil da Universidade Federal da Integração Latino-Americana, como parte integrante dos requisitos para obtenção do título de Mestre em Engenharia Civil.Arquitetos, engenheiros e projetistas podem fazer o uso de algoritmos evolutivos de otimização, em conjunto com programas de simulação computacional de eficiência energética, para a criação de ferramentas individuais de design generativo responsivo. Esse tipo de ferramenta pode ser aplicada para o estudo e otimização de elementos de controle solar, por exemplo. O objetivo da presente pesquisa foi realizar uma análise comparativa de programas e algoritmos de otimização multiobjetivo, que permitem a resolução multicritério, em conjunto com programas de simulação computacional para a verificação das condições de eficiência energética, conforto térmico e iluminação natural de diferentes tipologias de elementos de controle solar. A metodologia utilizada incluiu o uso de ferramentas, tais como, ferramentas de programação visual (Grasshopper), ferramentas CAD (Rhinoceros) e de simulação computacional de consumo energético e iluminação (EnergyPlus e Radiance), para permitir a manipulação de parâmetros de elementos de controle solar de forma generativa e responsiva, considerando a cidade de Foz do Iguaçu-PR. Os resultados demonstraram que o programa Opossum é o mais acessível em termos de configuração, o programa Wallacei X utilizado juntamente com o algoritmo NSGA-II apresentaram melhor desempenho para estudos com número de simulações reduzido, já o programa Octopus utilizado juntamente com o algoritmo SPEA-2 e Hype demonstrou estabilidade para estudos com maior quantidade de simulações, sendo o mais indicado para interoperabilidade com o EnergyPlus e Radiance. Além da avaliação dos programas, foram salientadas as tipologias e características de elementos de controle solar cujo uso, implica ao mesmo tempo, em melhores condições de conforto térmico, lumínico e eficiência energética

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
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

De Third Mesa à Bloomsbury : Parcours d’une anthropologue vers les soins palliatifs
No full textL’anthropologue Myra Bluebond-Langner est une chef de file et pionnière dans l’étude d’enfants qui vivent avec des maladies graves limitant l’espérance de vie. En retraçant son parcours intellectuel et de recherche, elle souligne combien l’ethnographie et les approches théoriques anthropologiques sont fécondes dans de nombreux champs d’enquête, dont le domaine émergeant des soins palliatifs pédiatriques. Voulant cerner les processus de socialisation et identitaires chez les enfants atteints de cancer, elle s’intéresse à leur compréhension de la maladie et de leur pronostic et les modes et contextes d’acquisition de ces savoirs au fil de l’expérience de la maladie. Elle s’intéresse également aux différents jeux de rôle (ou faux semblants) mis en scène au sein de la famille et à l’évolution de ces rôles tout au long de la trajectoire de la maladie. Par la suite, Bluebond-Langner enquête auprès d’enfants atteints de fibrose kystique en portant une attention particulière à la fratrie. Avec nuances, elle documente la recherche de « normalité » au sein de la famille et la perte progressive de celle-ci avec l’inévitable évolution de la maladie. La prise de décision parentale en contexte d’oncologie pédiatrique représente un troisième thème d’étude développé par l’anthropologue. Les choix documentés s’inscrivent dans une reconfiguration des rôles et responsabilités parentaux plutôt que dans une quête désespérée pour une guérison souvent impossible. L’auteur rappelle l’intérêt de la recherche multidisciplinaire et plus largement une approche de la clinique et des soins palliatifs pédiatriques qui fait place à un éventail de disciplines, toutes essentielles à la compréhension des enjeux sociaux, culturels, spirituels et biologiques de la maladie.As an anthropologist working with children and youth with life-threatening and life-limiting illnesses, Myra Bluebond-Langner stands out as a ground-breaking pioneer. In describing an intellectual journey that may appear disparate, she highlights that continuity resides within the practice of ethnography, the application of theoretical perspectives, and the contribution of the anthropological sensibility to the emergent domain of paediatric palliative care. The threads of continuity traverse the process of child socialization and identity for children with cancer, challenging the depth knowledge and mechanisms children use to acquire sophisticated understands of their disease and prognosis, despite the practice of mutual pretense. A second thread weaves the experiences of families with cystic fibrosis and the impact and strategies families employ to quell the intrusion of the disease to attain normalcy. Finally the practice of parental treatment decision-making in oncology is shown as a reconfiguring of parental roles and obligations, rather than desperate quests for a cure or the denial of the disease process. These threads speak to the impact of an integrationist approach to anthropology within the framework of multidisciplinary research and transnational institutional comparison.La antropóloga Myra Bluebond-Langner es una autoridad y una pionera en el estudio de los niños afectados por graves enfermedades que limitan su esperanza de vida. Al describir su trayectoria intelectual y de investigación, subraya la fecundidad del enfoque etnográfico y de las teorías antropológicas en innumerables campos de investigación, entre ellos, el reciente campo de la atención medica paliativa en pediatría. Con la intención de circunscribir los procesos identitarios y de socialización entre los niños enfermos de cáncer, se interesa a la comprensión de su enfermedad, de sus pronósticos y los modos y contextos de adquisición de dicha comprensión a lo largo de sus experiencias con la enfermedad. Se interesa asimismo a los diferentes juegos de rol (o falsos pretextos) montados en el seno de la familia y a la evolución de dichos roles a todo lo largo de la trayectoria de la enfermedad. Enseguida, Bluebond-Langner realiza investigaciones entre los niños afectados por la fibrosis quística, interesándose particularmente en la fratria. Documenta con sutileza la investigación de la « normalidad » en el seno de la familia y la pérdida progresiva de ésta, con la inevitable evolución de la enfermedad. La toma de decisión parental en el contexto de la oncología pediátrica representa el tercer tema de estudio desarrollado por la antropóloga. La decisiones estudiadas se inscriben en una reconfiguración de los roles y responsabilidad parentales más que en una búsqueda desesperada de curación, con frecuencia imposible. La autora evoca el interés de la investigación multidisciplinaria y más generalmente, del enfoque clínico y de la atención medica paliativa en pediatría que admite una amplia gama de disciplinas, todas esenciales a la comprensión de los retos sociales, culturales, espirituales y biológicos de la enfermedad
