Entrevista com Margaret Roberts: O currículo de Geografia e os seus fundamentos teóricos
No full textProfessors Elena Lengthorn (University of Worcester) and José Gilberto de Souza (Unesp Rio Claro), bring reflections on the dimensions of the curriculum, wrapped in a dialogue with Professor Magaret Roberts, who has a history of debate and reflection in the UK and has collaborated in its construction of geography curricula in several countries. Margaret Roberts, this extraordinary geography teacher educator, known for her kindness, creativity, generosity and insight, is also a former President of the Geographical Association (GA) and received an MBE in the 2021 New Year Honours. A very commendable recognition of her services to education. She has moulded a generation of geography teachers in the UK and beyond, and her publication Learning through enquiry (2003) has had a profound impact, enriching geography classrooms around the world.’ This is a debate that delves into the foundations of the curriculum and, in particular, brings together an extremely serious complaint, also felt in the UK, namely the demand for government control and interference over teaching content and practices. A trajectory of state structures that produce the curtailment of debates that are so dear to us, such as colonialism, the precariousness of work, the issue of gender and the LGBTQIA+ community, the lack of democratisation in debates, the imposition of curricula, the simplification of content, among other aspects, such as privatisation and the appropriation of public education funds, marks of the neoliberal logic that has been imposed on societies.Los profesores Elena Lengthorn (Universidad de Worcester) y José Gilberto de Souza (Unesp Rio Claro), traen reflexiones sobre las dimensiones del currículo, envueltas en un diálogo con la profesora Magaret Roberts, que tiene una historia de debate y reflexión en el Reino Unido y ha colaborado en su construcción de currículos de geografía en varios países. Margaret Roberts, esta extraordinaria formadora de profesores de geografía, conocida por su amabilidad, creatividad, generosidad y perspicacia, es también ex presidenta de la Asociación Geográfica (GA) y recibió un MBE en los Honores de Año Nuevo de 2021. Un reconocimiento muy loable a sus servicios a la educación. Ha moldeado a una generación de profesores de geografía en el Reino Unido y fuera de él, y su publicación Learning through enquiry (2003) ha tenido un profundo impacto, enriqueciendo las aulas de geografía de todo el mundo». Se trata de un debate que ahonda en los fundamentos del plan de estudios y, en particular, recoge una queja muy grave, que también se siente en el Reino Unido, a saber, la exigencia de control e injerencia gubernamental sobre los contenidos y las prácticas de la enseñanza. Una trayectoria de estructuras estatales que producen el cercenamiento de debates que nos son tan queridos, como el colonialismo, la precariedad laboral, la cuestión de género y la comunidad LGBTQIA+, la falta de democratización en los debates, la imposición de planes de estudio, la simplificación de contenidos, entre otros aspectos, como la privatización y la apropiación de los fondos públicos de educación, marcas de la lógica neoliberal que se ha impuesto en las sociedades.Os professores Elena Lengthorn (University of Worcester) e José Gilberto de Souza (Unesp Rio Claro), trazem reflexões sobre as dimensões do currículo, envoltas em um diálogo com a professora Magaret Roberts, que tem uma história de debate e reflexão no Reino Unido e colaborou na sua construção de currículos de geografia em vários países.

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
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country

Mining e-mail content for author identification forensics
No full textWe describe an investigation into e-mail content mining for author identification, or authorship attribution, for the purpose of forensic investigation. We focus our discussion on the ability to discriminate between authors for the case of both aggregated e-mail topics as well as across different email topics. An extended set of e-mail document features including structural characteristics and linguistic patterns were derived and, together with a Support Vector Machine learning algorithm, were used for mining the e-mail content. Experiments using a number of e-mail documents generated by different authors on a set of topics gave promising results for both aggregated and multi-topic author categorisation
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
