A diplomacia portuguesa como um instrumento de renovação da credibilidade e prestígio externos durante e pós-crise
No full textDissertação de Mestrado em Relações InternacionaisO objetivo da dissertação é compreender como a diplomacia portuguesa foi, no contexto europeu de 2008 a 2015, e continua a ser, um instrumento de renovação da credibilidade e prestígio de Portugal no estrangeiro. Durante o período em estudo, Portugal atravessou uma crise económico-financeira que, apesar de não se ter refletido numa perda da boa imagem do país, condicionou a sua ação externa, tornando imperativa a criação de novas estratégias de renovação da sua credibilidade e prestígio externos. A dissertação analisa a atuação da diplomacia portuguesa no período em questão, designadamente o trabalho executado pelos principais atores da Política Externa portuguesa (MNE, Diplomatas, Embaixadas e Consulados, AICEP, Instituto Camões). O argumento subjacente é o de que a diplomacia cumpriu a sua principal função de implementação dos objetivos da Política Externa portuguesa, principalmente o da renovação da credibilidade e prestígio externos, demonstrando que existiu uma priorização dos assuntos europeus no período em estudo. A dissertação argumenta ainda que no período pós-2015 a especialização diplomática em áreas onde Portugal tem já um passado (como China e Cabo Verde) continua a contribuir para os mesmos objetivos da renovação da credibilidade e prestígio externosThe aim of this dissertation is to understand how Portuguese diplomacy was, in the European context of 2008 to 2015, and continues to be an instrument to renew Portugal’s external credibility and prestige. During this period, Portugal went through an economic-financial crisis, which, although it hasn't had a negative effect on the country’s external image, has conditioned its external action and made it imperative to create new strategies to renew the country’s external prestige and credibility. This dissertation analyzes the Portuguese diplomacy action in the period in question through the work executed by Portuguese foreign policy actors (MNE, Diplomatas, Embaixadas e Consulados, AICEP e Instituto Camões). The major goal of this study is to argue that diplomacy fulfilled its main function of implementation foreign policy goals, mainly, the renewal of the country’s external prestige and credibility, demonstrating that there was a prioritization of European Affairs in the period of 2008 to 2015. This dissertation also argues that in post-2015 the specialization of diplomacy on areas where Portugal already has a past (as China and Cape Verde) continues to contribute to the same goals of the renewal of the country’s external prestige and credibility.N/

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
