Through author's participant observation , who works in the educational field, as well the analysis from data of the National Institute of Geography and Statistics and National Institute of Educational Studies and Researches Anísio Teixeira, it has accomplished some reflections about the incidences of gender, ethnical-racial and class relations in the educational institutions daily. It's realized that school dropout is recurrent at all educational levels it means and disclose particularities of social question in educational area. The purpose of this article is to contribute to reality analysis which social workers act in educational field.Este artigo tem por objetivo incitar reflexões acerca das particularidades da questão social na educação. Por meio da observação participante realizada pela autora do artigo, que atua no campo educacional, bem como pela análise de dados do Instituto Nacional de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) e do Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (INEP), foram realizadas algumas reflexões sobre as incidências das relações étnico-raciais, de gênero e de classe no cotidiano das instituições de educação brasileiras.

Affirmative Action in Post-Secondary Education: Contrasting Approaches in Brazil and Canada
No full textABSTRACT: This paper compares and contrasts approaches to affirmative action that are intended to increase access to post-secondary institutions to students racialized as Black and Indigenous in Brazil and Canada, respectively. Both of these demographics are underrepresented in post-secondary institutions in these countries, as a result of the legacy of colonization and systemic racism within these nations. To explore various approaches to affirmative action a comparison of several documents are made including: the Brazilian Federal Law 11.645/ 2008, which obliges the addition of the History and Culture of Afro-Brazilians and Indigenous people to the national curriculum; the Brazilian Federal Law 12.711/2012, which supports access to federal universities and other federal educational institutions through quotas (best known as the "Quotas’ Law"); and the Truth and Reconciliation Final Summary Report (2015), which provides 94 calls to action for the Canadian government to redress the issues created by the residential school system. Through document analysis, a list of affirmative actions is compiled, followed by an analysis of their implementation. Moreover, data related to racialized students who have benefited from these approaches, highlight the importance of affirmative actions to build more inclusive democratic systems.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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 linkWe 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 linkWe 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
O Esperançar como verbo: o Coletivo de Assistentes Sociais do IFSP e a coletivização das resistências
Full text linkThis paper brings to light the experience of the Collective of Social Workers at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of São Paulo (IFSP). By presenting the origin of this Collective, its composition, its main demands and the particularities inherent in the struggle for the social right to education, the article, presented as an experience report, aims to provoke reflections on the importance of organizing the professional category of social workers in collective struggles. It concludes that collective struggles are a fundamental factor in advancing the professional practice of social workers situated in a critically and historically way.Este trabalho traz à tona a experiência do Coletivo de Assistentes Sociais do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de São Paulo (IFSP).

Conclui-se que as lutas coletivas constituem fator fundamental para o avanço do exercício profissional de assistentes sociais criticamente e historicamente situado. 
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
