Economia e Ecossistemas Abordagens Ambientais Segundo Michele Carducci
No full textThe research aims to discuss the different approaches to combating climate change, presented by Michele Carducci, taking the terms of the Glasgow Climate Pact as a starting point. It is justified by the importance of discussing the strategies used in the debate on international environmental protection, whether dominant or alternative, given the urgency of the climate situation and the prevalence of terms of economicinterest in the discussions, which requires the study of suitable alternatives to different challenges. It is a bibliographic and documentary research in which the Glasgow Climate Pact was selected as a parameter because it is the most recent. The first topic presents the historical process of formation of the concept of sustainable development and the main international initiatives that led to the Pact, as the second discusses the prevalence of the economic factor in this type of document according to the classification of the approach pointed out by Carducci, and the thirdcomments on alternative initiatives to the international axis, especially the theory of degrowth and the new Latin American constitutions. The study concludes that in theoptional approach common in treaties, economic interests still predominate; however, different approaches emerge outside the main axes, highlighting demo-diversity as a viable alternative for building environmental responsibility.La investigación tiene como objetivo discutir los diferentes enfoques de combate a los cambios según presentado por Michele Carducci, tomando como punto de partida los términos del Pacto Climático de Glasgow. Se justifica por la importancia de discutir las estrategias utilizadas en el debate sobre la protección ambiental internacional, seanaquellas dominantes o alternativas, ante la urgencia de la situación climática y la prevalencia de términos de interés económico en las discusiones, lo que requiere el estudiode alternativas adecuadas a los diferentes retos. Se trata de una investigación bibliográfica y documental, en la cual el Pacto Climático de Glasgow fue seleccionado como parámetro por ser lo más reciente. El primer tópico presenta el proceso histórico de formación delconcepto de desarrollo sostenible y las principales iniciativas internacionales que llevaron al Pacto, mientras el segundo discute la prevalencia del factor económico en este tipo de documento según la clasificación del enfoque indicada por Carducci, y el tercero comenta iniciativas alternativas al eje internacional, en especial la teoría del decrecimiento y las nuevas constituciones latinoamericanas. El estudio concluye que, en el enfoque opcional, común en tratados, aún predominan los intereses económicos. Sin embargo, enfoques diferentes surgen fuera de los ejes principales, enfocando la demodiversidad como una alternativa viable para construcción de la responsabilidad ambiental.A pesquisa tem como objetivo discutir as diferentes abordagens de combate às mudanças climáticas conforme apresentadas por Michele Carducci, tomando como ponto de partida os termos do Pacto Climático de Glasgow.

How to See the Invisible? The Recognition of the ‘Rights of Nature’ to Represent Future Generations
No full textIs it possible to ignore Nature in discussions about future generations? Nature is the
ontological and biophysical unit that marks life. Therefore, excluding Nature’s rights means not
representing the future. This study proposes the recognition of the ‘rights of Nature’ as a hermeneutic
tool to represent and protect the rights of future generations. The proposal is based on three elements.
This generation must take great responsibility for safeguarding the ecological conditions that will
ensure the stability of the One Earth System. The intertemporal integrity of natural processes is the
determining variable of climate control. The qualification of the interdependence between Nature
and future generations is coherent with the transformative changes recently invoked by the 2019

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
