O trip? da sustentabilidade em uma empresa de energia solar do oeste catarinense
Get PDFIn the current context, environmental, economic and social issues play a leading role in many business organizations and are objectives of a more responsible management towards their stakeholders. In this way, this study aimed to analyze the tripod of sustainability in a photovoltaic energy company in the West of Santa Catarina. In order to meet this objective, a bibliographic review was performed to understand the origin and usability of this type of energy and an integrative review that sought to identify from the recent literature, which are the emerging topics discussed by the theorists about the generation of photovoltaic energy. Concomitantly, a qualitative and qualitative, descriptive study was carried out by means of a case study with Renovigi Energia Solar, in which interviews were conducted with four stakeholders and questionnaire application with the investor/administrator to raise the socioenvironmental responsibility practices carried out by the organization. The results show that there are several practices used by the Organization, among which the most important - environmental and economic aspects - are the reduction of costs and expenses with material savings, reduction of waste production and correct disposal of waste generated in the productive process of the solar panels. The main social practices are aimed at the external public, with specific actions aimed at serving the local community. Nationally, the Company donates photovoltaic systems to entities of the Third Sector, action linked to the strategy of the company. Finally, the application of the Grid model of Corporate Sustainability revealed that Renovigi has a good economic performance, satisfactory social interaction with its stakeholders and commitment to environmental aspects.No contexto atual as quest?es ambientais, econ?micas e sociais assumem papel protagonista em muitas organiza??es empresariais e s?o objetivos de uma gest?o mais respons?vel frente aos seus stakeholders. Desta forma, este estudo objetivou analisar o trip? da sustentabilidade em uma empresa de energia fotovoltaica do Oeste Catarinense. Para atender a este objetivo, foi realizada uma revis?o bibliogr?fica para entender a origem e a usabilidade deste tipo de energia e uma revis?o integrativa que buscou identificar, a partir da literatura recente quais s?o os t?picos emergentes discutidos pelos te?ricos a respeito da gera??o de energia fotovoltaica. Concomitantemente foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa e qualitativa, descritiva desenvolvida por meio de estudo de caso junto ? Renovigi Energia Solar, no qual foram realizadas entrevistas com quatro stakeholders e aplica??o de question?rio com o s?cio/administrador para levantar as pr?ticas de responsabilidade socioambiental realizadas pela organiza??o. Os resultados demonstram que s?o diversas as pr?ticas utilizadas pela Organiza??o, entre as que se destacam mais - na vertente ambiental e econ?mica - est?o a redu??o de custos e despesas com a economia de materiais, redu??o na produ??o de lixo e destina??o correta dos res?duos gerados no processo produtivo das placas solares. J? as principais pr?ticas sociais s?o voltadas ao p?blico externo, com a??es pontuais voltadas a atender a comunidade local. Nacionalmente, a Empresa doa sistemas fotovoltaicos a entidades do Terceiro Setor, a??o esta ligada a estrat?gia da empresa. Por fim, a aplica??o do modelo - Grid de Sustentabilidade Empresarial - revelou que a Renovigi apresenta um bom desempenho econ?mico, satisfat?ria intera??o social com seus stakeholders e comprometimento com os aspectos ambientais
ANÁLISE DO GRID DE SUSTENTABILIDADE EMPRESARIAL EM UMA OGANIZAÇÃO DE ENERGIA SOLAR
Get PDFDevido as grandes mudanças ocorridas na sociedade resultantes da globalização e do desenvolvimento industrial as empresas vêm tentado encontrar um equilíbrio entre a geração de lucros e os impactos sociais e ambientais por elas gerados. Esse equilíbrio pode ser encontrado a partir de estratégias de sustentabilidade empresarial, no qual auxiliam as empresas a ter posturas socialmente corretas e que seja ambientalmente sustentável e também, economicamente viável. Por ser uma das empresas mais expressivas do setor de energia solar do Brasil e oferecer ao mercado um produto com uma pegada sustentável a Renovigi Energia Solar foi escolhida como objeto de estudo. A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo identificar a posição da empresa no Grid de Sustentabilidade Empresarial levando em consideração as três esferas da sustentabilidade, a social, ambiental e econômica. Esta pesquisa é de caráter descritivo, os dados foram coletados através de aplicação de questionário estruturado e analisados quantitativamente. Através do estudo pode-se constatar que a Renovigi Energia Solar possui um bom desempenho nas três dimensões e pode ser considerada como sustentável ambientalmente, socialmente e economicamente
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
