    Orientador: Profª. Drª. Marguit Neumann GonçalvesDissertação (mestrado em Ciências Contábeis)--Universidade Estadual de Maringá, Centro de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas, Dep. de Ciências Contábeis, 2016RESUMO: O presente estudo analisa o conteúdo que está sendo divulgado em Notas Explicativas por companhias de capital aberto listadas na BM&FBovespa, considerando as diretrizes e orientações vigentes e as questões apontadas pela Orientação Técnica OCPC 07 (2014) (extensão de material, réplica de conteúdo normativo e irrelevância de informações). Para alcance do objetivo, são examinadas as informações divulgadas em Notas Explicativas pelas companhias pertencentes aos Segmentos Especiais de Listagem da BM&FBovespa nos anos de 2008, 2010, 2012 e 2014. A amostra é composta por 27 companhias de nove segmentos com maior representatividade, sendo considerados àqueles com mais de três empresas. Quanto à natureza, trata-se de uma pesquisa aplicada, com problema abordado de forma qualitativa, descritiva quanto aos objetivos e procedimento técnico documental. O tratamento dos dados foi realizado por meio da análise de conteúdo. Os resultados indicam que para determinadas categorias não existem diferenças relevantes no conteúdo apresentado pelas companhias entre o período pré e pós convergência. Ainda, entende-se que algumas informações dificultam a compreensibilidade dos usuários, quando surgem dúvidas se os itens foram reconhecidos ou apenas divulgados. O aumento do material divulgado em Notas Explicativas foi percebido a partir do ano de 2010, o que pode ser derivado da convergência obrigatória às normas internacionais pelas companhias brasileiras. A irrelevância de informações e a repetição de conteúdo, normativo ou não, foi percebida a partir do mesmo ano. Conclui-se que o conteúdo apresentado deve ser melhorado para contribuir com a qualidade informativa e subsidiar a tomada de decisões dos usuários, de forma a extinguir das Notas os aspectos irrelevantes e imateriais constatadosABSTRACT: This study analyzes the content that is being published by publicly traded companies listed on the BM&FBovespa in Explanatory Notes, considering the existing guidelines and the issues raised by the Technical Guidance OCPC 07 (2014) (voluminous material, reproduced normative content and irrelevant information). To achieve the objective, we have looking the information disclosed in Explanatory Notes of the companies belonging to the BM&FBovespa Special Segments in the years 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2014. The sample consists of 27 companies from the nine most representative segments, being considered only segments with more than three companies. This is an applied research, with the problem addressed in a qualitative way. It is descriptive about the objectives and the technical procedure is documentary. The data analysis was performed using content analysis. The results point out that for some categories there are no relevant differences in the content presented by the companies between the period pre and post convergence. Still, we understand that some information make hard the users understandability, when doubts arise whether the items were recognized or only disclosed. The increase of the material disclosed in Explanatory Notes was realized from 2010, which can be derived from the compulsory convergence to international standards by Brazilian companies. The irrelevant information and the reproduced content, normative or not, was noted from the same year. We have concluded that the presented content should be improved to contribute to the informative quality and to support users’ decisions in order to extinguish from the Notes the observed irrelevant and immaterial aspects98 p. : il., (algumas color.)

    Nesta tese nós analisamos a evolução e as mutações sofridas por três subsistemas da indústria de máquinas e implementos agrícolas no sul do Brasil através da análise de certas características estruturais de articulação territorial. Nossa abordagem foi a dinâmica territorial. É assim que nós nos engajamos a identificar a dinâmica existente na criação de conhecimentos e de tecnologias produzidas e provenientes de fora. No capítulo 1 nós estudamos a origem da discussão referente ao desenvolvimento local nos países emergentes, com o objetivo de mostrar a pertinência da literatura marshalliana para analisar a realidade brasileira em torno da experiência dos Arranjos Produtivos Locais (APLs). No capítulo 2 nós abordamos um vasto conjunto de fatores que parecem pertinentes para a compreensão da relação entre a indústria e a agricultura, assim como do desenvolvimento da indústria de máquinas e implementos agrícolas na região do planalto do Rio Grande do Sul (RS). No capítulo 3 nós nos destinamos ao estudo do funcionamento de três subsistemas da indústria metal-mecânica face as estratégias das empresas. O capítulo 4 é consagrado à análise de cada um dos subsistemas (pré-colheita, colheita e pós-colheita) em torno de quatro pontos-chave: A) a organização de cada subsistema: as diferentes empresas, as associações comerciais, industriais e agrícolas e as relações entre elas; B) a tecnologia, as estratégias de apoio a inovação; C) o mercado de trabalho; D) a evolução recente do desenvolvimento e da especialização produtiva e as relações com as instituições (o Sebrae e a política dos APLs, os obstáculos ao desenvolvimento da indústria em cada subsistema). Nesse último capítulo nós evidenciamos os pontos comuns entre os três subsistemas sobre as mutações e rupturas que a indústria conheceu e a análise da dinâmica existente em cada subsistema. Assim, na conclusão, nós constatamos que para favorecer o processo de desenvolvimento local, uma política de acompanhamento é mais coerente para levar em consideração as especificidades e as necessidades de cada território a fim de reunir às condições necessárias a emergência de verdadeiros fatores de um território.This thesis concerns the evolution and mutation suffered by three subsystems of agricultural machinery industry and agricultural implements in the south of Brazil by analyzing certain cultural characteristics of articulation of territory. The approach was the territorial dynamic. The aim was to identify the dynamic which exists in the creation of knowledge and technology produced outside the territory. In chapter 1 we studied the discussion about the local development of emerging countries, with the objective to show the pertinence of the marshallian literature to analyze the Brazilian reality with the experience of the Local Productive Arranges (APLs). In chapter 2 a wide range of factors were studied to the comprehension of the relation between industry and agriculture, with the development of the machinery and agricultural implements in the plateau region of “Rio Grande do Sul – RS” - Brazil. In Chapter 3, the aim was the study of the operation of three subsystems in the metal mechanical industry in relation to the strategy of the industries. In chapter 4, each subsystem was analyzed (pre harvest, harvest and postharvest) considering four key points: A) Organization of the subsystem: the different industries and the commercial associations of industry and agricultural and their relations; B) The technology of support for innovation; C) the job market; D) The recent evolution of development and productive specialization and the relations with the institutions responsible for this segment in Brazil (Sebrae and APLs) and the obstacles to the industry development in each subsystem). In this last chapter the common points of the three subsystems about the mutation and ruptures that the industry met and the analysis of the existing dynamic in each subsystem. So, in conclusion, it was found that in order to favor the local development, a follow up is more coherent to consider the specification and the needs of each territory in order to unite to the necessary conditions to favor the arise of the essential variables of a territory.Dans cette thèse nous analysons l’évolution et les mutations subies par trois sous-systèmes de l’industrie de machines et équipements agricoles au sud du Brésil à travers l’analyse de certaines caractéristiques structurelles de l’articulation territoriale. Notre approche a été celle de la dynamique du territoire. C’est ainsi que nous nous sommes engagés à identifier la dynamique existante dans la création de connaissances et de technologies produites et provenant de l’extérieur. Dans le Chapitre 1 nous étudions l’origine de la discussion concernant le développement localisé dans les pays émergents, dans le but de montrer la pertinence de la littérature marshallienne pour analyser la réalité brésilienne autour de l’expérience des APLs. Dans le chapitre 2 nous couvrons un large ensemble de facteurs qui semblent pertinents pour la compréhension de la relation entre industrie et agriculture ainsi que du développement de l’industrie de machines et équipements agricoles dans la région du plateau du Rio Grande do Sul. Dans le chapitre 3 nous nous consacrons à l’étude du fonctionnement des trois sous-systèmes de la métal-mécanique (Avant-récolte, Récolte et Après-récolte) face aux stratégies des entreprises. Le chapitre 4 est consacré à l’analyse de chacun des trois sous-systèmes autour de quatre points clés : l’organisation de chaque sous-système (les différentes entreprises, les associations commerciales, industrielles et agricoles et les relations entre elles, la technologie, les stratégies d’appui à l’innovation et le marché du travail) ; l’évolution récente du développement et de la spécialisation productive et les relations avec les institutions (le Sebrae et la politique des APLs, les obstacles au développement de l’industrie dans chaque sous-système). Dans ce dernier chapitre nous mettons en relief les points communs entre les trois sous-systèmes sur les mutations et ruptures que l’industrie a connues et l’analyse de la dynamique existante dans chaque sous-système. En conclusion, nous arrivons au constat que, pour favoriser le processus de développement local, une politique d’accompagnement est plus cohérente pour prendre en compte les spécificités et les besoins de chaque territoire afin de réunir les conditions nécessaires à l’émergence des vrais facteurs d’un territoire

    Orientador: Prof.ª Dr.ª Marguit Neumann GonçalvesDissertação (mestrado em Ciências Contábeis)--Universidade Estadual de Maringá, 2016Resumo: As tentativas anteriores e sem êxito na divulgação de relatórios corporativos íntegros com informações de sustentabilidade levou à formação do IIRC e à criação do framework para Relato Integrado (RI), cujo pressuposto é consolidar o pensamento integrado em toda a organização. Com o aumento de sua aplicação e a tendência na regulamentação de relatórios voluntários, o IIRC lançou a discussão sobre a asseguração independente para RI. Nesse processo, o IIRC alega que os mecanismos internos governança corporativa, sistema de controle interno, auditoria interna e envolvimento dos stakeholders na organização contribuem para atestar a credibilidade do RI. Considerando que o processo de asseguração se inicia durante a preparação de um RI e que esses mecanismos precisam ser integrados e consolidados para propiciar uma asseguração independente, esse estudo objetiva identificar como os mecanismos internos podem agregar o pensamento integrado para viabilizar o processo de asseguração independente do RI. Sob um pressuposto funcionalista e de cunho exploratório, essa pesquisa foi realizada em três etapas por meio de pesquisa documental e de campo, cuja análise foi abordada qualitativamente sob a lente da Teoria Institucional e do modelo de institucionalização de Barley e Tolbert (1997). A análise permitiu verificar que o lançamento do framework e dos documentos sobre a asseguração do RI representam a intensa ação do IIRC em institucionalizá-lo e que esse processo se encontra na fase de representação. No feedback recebido pelo IIRC, observou-se que não há consenso entre investidores e normatizadores/auditorias quanto ao valor de uma asseguração independente para o RI, mas há consenso quanto ao papel dos mecanismos internos no processo de elaboração e confiabilidade do RI. Apesar dos regulamentos existentes, o IIRC reforça a integração, engajamento e transparência dos mecanismos internos para o processo de elaboração e apoio à asseguração externa do RI. Contudo, depreende-se que a incorporação do pensamento integrado e das premissas do framework estão condicionados aos valores, crenças e interesses de quem gerencia a organização e esse processo demanda mudanças culturais e estruturais de acordo com a maturidade da organização. A incorporação do pensamento integrado pelos mecanismos internos é um processo contínuo de acúmulo de experiências, cuja prática exigirá tempo e dedicação. Aconselha-se que a alta gestão envolva seus stakeholders na determinação da materialidade alinhando as estratégias e modelo de negócio da organização de forma sustentável. Uma equipe multidisciplinar, apoiada pelas áreas de controles internos e auditoria interna, permite amplitude e profundidade de conhecimentos na elaboração do RI, além de propiciar a integridade e conectividade das informações mediante as sugestões de controles, metodologias de testes e gerenciamento de riscos por parte desses mecanismos. Essas ações conjuntas possibilitam à alta governança emitir um parecer garantindo a credibilidade do RI ao descrever como ela obteve segurança das informações divulgadas. Conclui-se que o RI está em fase de experimentação e que o sucesso de um RI assegurado dependerá da efetiva integração dos mecanismos internos quanto a definição de critérios que mensurem a inter-relação entre os capitais e os temas materiais propiciando à organização a obtenção de uma garantia razoável independenteAbstract: Previous attempts and unsuccessful in disclosing principled corporate reports with sustainability information led to the formation of the IIRC and the creation of a framework for Integrated Reporting (IR), whose premise is to consolidate the integrated thinking across the organization. With the increase of its application and the trend in the regulation of voluntary reports, the IIRC launched the discussion on independent assurance to IR. In this process, the IIRC claims that the internal mechanisms corporate governance, internal control systems','internal audit and stakeholder involvement in the organization contribute to certify the credibility of IR. Whereas the process of assurance starts during the preparation of an IR and that these mechanisms need to be integrated and consolidated to provide an independent assurance, this study aims to identify how the internal mechanisms can add the integrated thinking to facilitate the process of independent assurance of IR. Under a functionalist and exploratory nature assumption, this research was conducted in three stages through documentary and field research, whose analysis was qualitatively addressed through the lens of Institutional Theory and institutionalization model of Barley and Tolbert (1997). The analysis has shown that the release of the framework and the documents on the IR assurance represent the intense action of the IIRC in institutionalizing it and that this process is in the representation phase. In the feedback received by the IIRC, it was observed that there is no consensus among investors and standard-setting/audits on the value of an independent assurance to IR, but there is consensus on the role of internal mechanisms in the process and reliability of IR. Despite existing regulations, IIRC reinforces integration, engagement and transparency of internal mechanisms for the process of developing and supporting the IR external assurance. However, it appears that the incorporation of integrated thinking and framework assumptions are conditioned to the values, beliefs and interests of those who manage the organization and this process requires cultural and structural changes according to the maturity of the organization. The incorporation of integrated thinking by internal mechanisms is a continuous process of accumulation of experience, whose practice requires time and dedication. It is recommended that top management involves stakeholders in determining the materiality aligning strategies and business model of sustainable organization. A multidisciplinary team, supported by the areas of internal controls and internal audit, allows breadth and depth of knowledge in the development of IR, as well as providing integrity and connectivity of information through the suggestions controls, test methodologies and risk management by these mechanisms. These joint actions enable the high governance issue an opinion ensuring the credibility of the IR to describe how she obtained security of the information disclosed. We conclude that the IR is in trial phase and that the success of an IR assured depend on the effective integration of internal mechanisms as the definition of criteria that measure the interrelationship between capital and material issues enabling the organization to obtain an independent reasonable assurance157 f. : il.

    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

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    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

    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
