    OS VAZIOS URBANOS NA REGIÃO URBANA DO PROSA E SEUS IMPACTOS NO DESENVOLVIMENTO DE CAMPO GRANDE-MS

    This study aimed to examine the urban voids present in the Prosa urban region of Campo Grande (MS), analyzing their impacts on the city’s urban development, and highlighting critical issues such as dispersed urbanization, which results in a horizontal expansion. This pattern is partly caused by the underutilization of urban land, where neighborhoods contain a large number of vacant lots, developable spaces that remain underused due, in part, to the inherent incentives present in the structure of the capitalist city. Such disparities in the provision and distribution of urban infrastructure, especially between central and peripheral areas, also reflect socioeconomic inequalities and failures in urban policy. The lack of access to affordable housing near the city centre drives movement toward the periphery, where access to public infrastructure and living conditions are significantly more precarious. The methodological procedures involved a comprehensive literature review on the topic, the creation of thematic maps using QGIS software, fieldwork with photographic documentation, and statistical analysis based on data from IBGE and the Municipal Government of Campo Grande (MS). An analysis of the city’s master plan was also conducted to understand how zoning policies and urban development influence the presence and distribution of urban voids. The research revealed that, over the past ten years, central neighborhoods with a high number of urban voids did not experience significant population growth, while a neighbourhood which has low use of urban space, less access to public resources and a high number of urban voids, Noroeste, almost doubled its population.Este trabalho teve como objetivo examinar os vazios urbanos presentes na região urbana do Prosa, em Campo Grande (MS), analisando seus impactos no desenvolvimento urbano, destacando-se a urbanização dispersa, com um crescimento horizontal da cidade, causado, em parte, pelo baixo aproveitamento do solo urbano, onde bairros se encontram com uma grande quantidade de vazios, espaços desenvolvíveis que seguem subutilizados devido, em parte, aos incentivos inerentemente presentes na cidade capitalista. Tais disparidades na oferta e distribuição de infraestrutura urbana, especialmente entre áreas centrais e periféricas, acabam também refletindo desigualdades socioeconômicas e falhas nas políticas urbanísticas. A falta de acesso à habitação acessível perto do centro leva a um movimento para a periferia, onde o acesso às infraestruturas públicas e as condições de vida são muito mais precárias. Os procedimentos metodológicos envolveram um levantamento bibliográfico abrangente sobre o tema, elaboração de mapas temáticos utilizando o software QGIS, trabalhos de campo com registro fotográfico e análise estatística baseada em dados do IBGE e da Prefeitura Municipal de Campo Grande (MS). Também foi realizada uma análise do plano diretor da cidade, para entender como políticas de zoneamento e desenvolvimento urbano influenciam a presença e distribuição dos vazios urbanos. Percebeu-se, através da pesquisa, que, nos últimos dez anos, bairros centrais que continham um alto número de vazios não observaram um aumento significativo na sua população, enquanto um bairro periférico que possui baixo aproveitamento do espaço urbano, menor acesso a recursos públicos e alto número de vazios urbanos, o Noroeste, quase dobrou a sua população

    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

    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

    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
