    O presente trabalho trata do estado de coisas inconstitucional, uma técnica jurídica criada e desenvolvida pela Corte Constitucional da Colômbia para dar conta de solucionar litígios estruturais. O objetivo da pesquisa foi o de verificar se o estado de coisas inconstitucional (ECI) pode ou não ser uma técnica jurídica capaz de solucionar os litígios estruturais, além de um meio que possa estar à disposição de qualquer juiz ou tribunal no exercício do controle de constitucionalidade difuso no Brasil. A importância da pesquisa está em poder contribuir para um debate mais profundo acerca dos reais efeitos da utilização do ECI para as partes envolvidas no litígio, bem como contribuir para um debate sobre a ampliação do ECI para além da competência do STF. Trata-se de pesquisa que se classifica ao mesmo tempo como descritiva e exploratória, e cuja técnica de coleta de dados utilizada foi a bibliográfica, com a utilização de livros e artigos científicos sobre o tema, além de ser também uma pesquisa documental, já que foram utilizados decisões e acórdãos de juízes e tribunais sobre o tema. Como resultados mais importantes da pesquisa, foi possível concluir que o estado de coisas inconstitucional não constitui técnica capaz de solucionar os litígios estruturais, mas que pode contribuir com a melhoria no grau de satisfação dos direitos fundamentais, através do seu efeito simbólico e desbloqueador. Por outro lado, pôde-se confirmar a possibilidade de migração da técnica do ordenamento jurídico colombiano para o brasileiro, e a sua possibilidade de aplicação em sede de controle difuso, portanto, por qualquer juiz ou tribunal, mediante a utilização de instrumentos processuais que já se encontram estabelecidos no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro.This paper deals with the unconstitutional state of affairs, a legal technique created and developed by the Constitutional Court of Colombia to deal with resolving structural disputes. The aim of the research was to verify whether the ECI (for its meaning in Portuguese: Estado de Coisas Inconstitucional) may or may not be a legal technique capable of resolving structural disputes, in addition to being a means that can be available to any judge or court in the exercise of diffuse constitutionality control in Brazil. The importance of research is to be able to contribute to a deeper debate about the real effects of the use of ECI for the parties involved in the litigation, as well as to contribute to a debate about the extension of ECI beyond the competence of the STF for its meaning in Portuguese: Supremo Tribunal Federal - Federal Supreme Court). It is research that is classified at the same time as descriptive and exploratory, and whose data collection technique used was bibliographic, with the use of books and scientific articles on the subject, in addition to being also a documentary research, since decisions and judgments of judges and courts on the subject were used. As the most important results of the research, it was possible to conclude that the unconstitutional state of affairs is not a technique capable of resolving structural disputes, but that it can contribute to the improvement in the degree of satisfaction of fundamental rights, through its symbolic and unlocking effect. On the other hand, it was possible to confirm the possibility of migrating the technique of the Colombian legal system to the Brazilian one, and its possibility of application under diffuse control, therefore, by any judge or court, through the use of procedural instruments that have already are established in the Brazilian legal system.Este trabajo aborda el estado de cosas inconstitucional, una técnica jurídica creada y desarrollada por la Corte Constitucional de Colombia para abordar la resolución de disputas estructurales.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 PDF
    We 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 PDF
    We 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

    We 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 text
    In 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.
