Objetividade jornalística: o debate contemporâneo do conceito
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-graduação em Jornalismo, Florianópolis, 2009Neste trabalho a objetividade é entendida como um dos fundamentos do jornalismo, o qual reúne valores e procedimentos orientados à verdade. Herdeiro da filosofia e da ciência, o conceito se difundiu a ponto de se transformar numa das referências da comunidade profissional internacional, ainda que seja um dos mais complexos e criticados (aliás, o que lhe serviu para sua longevidade). Nesta pesquisa se compilam debates significativos que envolvem o termo dentro da bibliografia especializada, sobretudo a contemporânea, e se divulgam conteúdos pouco presentes em língua portuguesa. Este é um trabalho de natureza exploratória, proposto a favorecer o campo da epistemologia do jornalismo no Brasil. Entre suas contribuições há uma abordagem sobre o uso de hipóteses na prática jornalística e, antes, uma discussão sobre objetividade em Jornalismo Literário. Ademais, nesta pesquisa são feitas duas diferenciações básicas do conceito, a primeira em um sentido genérico (a objetividade jornalística), no que diz respeito a todos os procedimentos e valores orientados à verdade, sejam políticos, éticos, epistemológicos ou técnicos/estéticos. Depois, ele é definido em sentido estrito (a objetividade do jornalismo), relativo apenas à epistemologia, ou seja, como o campo (intelectual e prático) produz conhecimento e quais as características e métodos desse saber. Esta pesquisa orienta a distinção de três momentos para estudo da objetividade numa investigação jornalística: como ponto de partida, percurso e, como possibilidade, conhecimento proposicional a posteriori.In this research the objectivity is considered as one of the basis of Journalism, this one that gathers values and procedures oriented to the truth. Heir of philosophy and science, the concept have diffused to the level of turning itself in a reference of the international professional community, even being one of the most complex and criticized concepts (something that have collaborated to its longevity). The research put together significant debates about the term in the specialized bibliography, over all, the contemporary, and the contents in Portuguese language are short as a matter of presence. This is an exploratory work; it has the proposal to develop the field of epistemology of Journalism in Brazil. Among its contributions there is a study about the use of hypothesis in the journalist practice and, before, an discussion about objectivity in Literary Journalism. There are two basic differentiations in this text in reference of the concept, firs of all, the text defines it in a general sense (the objectivity in Journalism), involving all the values and procedures oriented to the truth, like politic, ethic, epistemological or aesthetic. After, it is defined in a strict sense (the objectivity of the Journalism), related to the epistemology, or, how does the field (practical and intellectual) make knowledge and which are its characteristics and methods. This study orients the distinction of three moments to the objectivity study in a journalistic investigation: as point of departure, trajectory and, as a possibility, propositional knowledge a posteriori
O. A. C. Review Volume XLIX Issue 5, February 1937
No full textThis mid-winter issue begins with a travel diary of a student's journey through the Scottish Trossachs. The highlight of the issue is the success of the Conversazione and its theme of India. A student contributed a humorous piece on traveling salesmen, while another student presents the debate over the seminar method of teaching at the college. The Literary Section reports on the Canadian Author Evening with the speakers addressing the significance of Vimy Ridge. Toronto's debating team visits the campus with a challenge of speaking without "sprouting a whisker" -- saying "er" or "um" while speaking. Campus news provides updates on the numerous banquets and dances, campus humour, and the production of "Arms and the Man". The Macdonald Institute column contains a poem regarding the Conversat, a humorous "letter home", and news about the new recreation room in Mac Hall. The agricultural article pertains to the College's acquisition of Kerry Hill sheep. The athletic column reports on the various athletic team results. The Bits O' Bronze lecture was on the history of agriculture in Upper Canada. The Alumni column contains alumni updates and changes to the graduate list. The Macdonald Alumnae column reports on the teaching of household arts in Toronto public schools and alumnae updates.EditorialAs I recall the TrossacksThe travelling salesmanRound the world in two hoursOur seminar systemOur inquiring reporterThe East comes to the ConversatCranial contortionsMother Nature strains a pointLiterary sectionWhiskers and other weighty mattersOn the Misguided WorldCollege lifeMacdonald newsConversazione 1937Letters to the editorKerry Hill sheep introduced to CanadaO.

O. A. C. Review Volume L Issue 5, February 1938
No full textThis issue begins with an article about the history of Red Fife Wheat from its origins in Galicia to its importation to Peterborough. Agricultural articles pertain to the dietary benefits of human consumption of rye and timothy grasses, and continued research in soil nutrient depletion. Other articles include the presentation of A. T. Christie's Victorian medals to the Ontario Agricultural College. An alumnus continues his 1931 story as a stowaway. The English column addresses the use of proper English and the origin of the Little Theatre Movement. While the literary column provides book reviews, an account of the Canadian Author Lecture by H. Napier Moore, and the composition of epitaphs. The athletics column reports on the results of the competitions in basketball, swimming, hockey, boxing, wrestling, and fencing. In the Macdonald Institute column a student describes the O. A. C. campus to foreign students, there are also accounts of the "Feminine Section of O. A. C., and a tally of the food consumed in the dinning hall. The highlight of the campus news column is the Conversazione of 1938 and the social events of the season. The O. V. C. column provides updates of the joint social events between the colleges on campus. A new column - the Club News, reviews events for each of the animal husbandry, field husbandry, dairy, horticulture, and biology clubs. Alumni and Alumnae columns provide alumni updates.EditorialLand of the first Red Fife kernelA. T.

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
“For thy kingdom is past not away, / Nor thy power from the place thereof hurled”: Martianus Capella and a Prophylactic Oracle of Apollo
No full textThe chapter provides a reconsideration of a section in Martianus Capella’s Book 1, dedicated to the ‘failure of the oracles’ and culminating in a quotation of a prophylactic Apollinean oracle, attributed to Alexander of Abonouteichos. The author tries to reconstruct some possible lines of transmission of this oracle, at the same time highlighting how its allegorical framework helps to shed light on some aspects of the ongoing controversy between pagans and Christians, which took into account the thaumaturgical and therapeutic capabilities of the gods
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
Um olhar sobre o jornalismo
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Jornalismo, Florianópolis, 2009Este trabalho objetiva demonstrar como o cinema hollywoodiano, produzido entre 1930 e 2000, representa o jornalismo. Para tanto, foram escolhidos, como objeto de análise, 14 filmes sobre jornalismo, a saber: Aconteceu Naquela Noite, Fúria, Adorável Vagabundo, Cidadão Kane, A Montanha dos Sete Abutres, A Embriaguez do Sucesso, O Homem que Matou o Facínora, Paixões que Alucinam, A Primeira Página, Rede de Intrigas, Ausência de Malícia, Sob Fogo Cerrado, O Quarto Poder, O Informante; e como referencial para a análise, quatro pressupostos teóricos: as transformações de ordem tecnológica pelas quais passou o jornalismo, baseada na relação que Carlos Eduardo Franciscato constrói entre jornalismo e história social do tempo; a teoria do comentário público, de Lorenzo Gomis; as questões éticas, de acordo com a visão de Francisco Karam; e a abordagem de Walter Lippmann sobre estereótipos. Utilizando como metodologia de pesquisa a análise de conteúdo, foi possível tomar os filmes como referência ilustrativa das teorias em questão, para identificar e analisar como fundamentos do jornalismo são representados pelo cinema americano do século XX
Measurement of the ratio of prompt χ c to J / ψ production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
No full textThe prompt production of charmonium χ c and J / ψ states is studied in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The χ c and J / ψ mesons are identified through their decays χ c → J / ψ γ and J / ψ → μ + μ - using 36 pb - 1 of data collected by the LHCb detector in 2010. The ratio of the prompt production cross-sections for χ c and J / ψ, σ (χ c → J / ψ γ) / σ (J / ψ), is determined as a function of the J / ψ transverse momentum in the range 2 < p T J / ψ < 15 GeV / c. The results are in excellent agreement with next-to-leading order non-relativistic expectations and show a significant discrepancy compared with the colour singlet model prediction at leading order, especially in the low p T J / ψ region
