Inserção dos Tecnólogos de Controle E Processos Industriais e de Produção Industrial nas Empresas da Região Metropolitana de Salvador
Get PDFO objetivo deste trabalho é analisar como os tecnólogos dos eixos tecnológicos de Controle e Processos Industriais (CPI) e de Produção Industrial (PI) são inseridos nas empresas da Região Metropolitana de Salvador (RMS). Mais especificamente, como se dá a percepção das empresas, das instituições de ensino, dos tecnólogos e dos estudantes em relação à inserção do tecnólogo no mercado de trabalho como um profissional de nível superior. Para desenvolver tal estudo se fez uso de uma pesquisa explicativa com abordagem e análise quali-quantitativa. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e levantamento por amostragem ou estatístico, utilizando-se questionários e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram empresas da RMS, tecnólogos, alunos e coordenadores dos cursos dos eixos tecnológicos de CPI e de PI. Os principais resultados apontam para a grande necessidade de profissionais com formação na área técnica, principalmente aqueles egressos dos cursos de engenharia e técnicos de nível médio, enquanto para os tecnólogos tal necessidade mostra-se pequena diante das respostas das empresas. Outra constatação é que ainda existem por parte das organizações dificuldades em compreender o papel do tecnólogo como profissional de nível superior e, portanto, os tecnólogos estão sendo subutilizados, já que a imensa maioria, apesar de atuarem dentro de sua área de formação, recebem salários e ocupam cargos aquém da sua formação de nível superior. A pesquisa realizada com os tecnólogos e estudantes revelou que menos de um terço dos que concluíram os cursos objeto desta pesquisa estão efetivamente exercendo a profissão de tecnólogo. De maneira geral, apesar de a maioria encontrar-se satisfeita com o curso realizado e com a profissão, sente-se insatisfeita com a imagem do profissional perante as empresas e a sociedade.The aim of this study is to analyze how the technologists of technological axes Control and Industrial Processes (CPI) and Industrial Production (PI) are entered in the companies in the Metropolitan Region of Salvador (RMS). More specifically, how does the perception of businesses, educational institutions, technologists and students in relation to the insertion of the technologist in the labor market as a professional level. To develop such a study made use of an explanatory research approach and analysis with qualitative and quantitative. Data collection was performed by means of literature, documentary and survey or statistical sampling, using questionnaires and structured interviews. The research subjects were the RMS companies, technologists, students and coordinators of the courses of technological axes of CPI and PI. The main results show the great need for professionals trained in the technique, mainly those graduates of engineering courses and middle level technicians, technologists while for such a need is shown on the responses of small businesses. Another finding is that still exists for organizations difficulties in understanding the role of the technologist as professional level and therefore are being underutilized, since the vast majority, while acting within their area of training, salaries and occupy positions below its tertiary level. The survey of technologists and students revealed that less than a third of those who completed the courses object of this research are effectively exercising the profession of technologist. In general, though most find themselves pleased with the progress made and the profession feels dissatisfied with the professional image before business and society
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
Articulação entre a avaliação e o planejamento institucionais em instituições da Rede Federal de Educação Tecnológica
Get PDFAbstract
The management of public educational institutions is in line with the paradigms of public administration that influence the state reforms. In the current setting and considering the existing legal framework, this thesis adopts a managerial model, which is flexible but still imbued with entrenched features of previous models. In this context, this doctoral research highlights two important management tools in order to analyze how the institutions of Federal Network of Technological, Scientific and Professional Education articulate institutional evaluation and planning. It also makes a study of the factors that interfere with this relationship. To develop the research, a qualitative-quantitative approach, including a case study, was adopted, taking as the empirical field three institutions that make up the Federal Network of Technological, Scientific and Professional Education. Based on the literature on planning, evaluation, evaluation use and decision-making, an Analytical Model was developed that guided the field research, organizing the documental analysis and the questions addressed to members of the Board of Managers and of the Institutional Evaluation Committees through semi-structured interviews and online questionnaires. Using the SurveyMonkey tool, an institutional response rate of 55% was obtained. The results provide important contributions to the field of management, both in micro educational institutions and in the context of macro entities within the Ministry of Education, as there are few studies that deal with the effectiveness of evaluation policies integrated with institutional planning, especially in institutions of the Federal Network. The main results obtained in the documental analysis and field research show that the institutions surveyed articulate evaluative procedures with planning, using their results in decision-making processes, identifying and prioritizing weaknesses and supporting the goals for improvement initiatives. Among the evaluation modalities, the highest incidence of use corresponds to Evaluation of Undergraduate Courses (ACG), followed by self-assessment. These results mainly influence goals related to teaching, pedagogical course projects, library collections, equipment, and infrastructure. Among the contributing factors in this articulation are the utility for institutional development, the involvement of managers, the process of credibility, and the reliability of information. Institutions have different stages of articulation, according to the potentiality of their own evaluation and planning processes, which contribute to organizational learning in each of the institutions of the Federal Network.A gestão das instituições públicas de educação coaduna-se com os paradigmas da nova administração pública, que influenciam as reformas do Estado. Na configuração atual e com fulcro no arcabouço legal vigente, adota um modelo gerencialista mais flexível, entretanto ainda impregnado de características e traços arraigados dos modelos anteriores. Neste contexto, a presente pesquisa de Doutorado destaca dois importantes instrumentos de gestão, com o objetivo de analisar como as instituições da Rede Federal de Educação Profissional, Científica e Tecnológica articulam a avaliação e o planejamento institucionais, bem como faz um estudo dos fatores que interferem nesta relação. Para desenvolver a pesquisa adotou-se uma abordagem quali-qualitativa com estudo de caso, tomando como campo empírico três instituições que integram a Rede Federal de Educação Profissional, Científica e Tecnológica. Fundamentada na literatura sobre planejamento, avaliação, assim como usos da avaliação e processo decisório, foi elaborado um Modelo de Análise que norteia a pesquisa de campo, organizando a análise documental e as perguntas aos integrantes do Quadro de Gestores e das Comissões de Avaliação Institucional, por meio de entrevista semiestruturada e questionário on-line. Utilizando o SurveyMonkey foi obtida uma taxa de resposta das instituições de 55%. Os resultados trazem importantes contribuições para a área da Gestão tanto no âmbito micro das instituições de educação como no âmbito macro dos órgãos do Ministério da Educação, visto que há poucas pesquisas que tratam da efetividade das políticas avaliativas integradas aos planejamentos institucionais, especialmente nas instituições da Rede Federal. Os principais resultados, a partir das evidências obtidas na análise documental e pesquisa de campo, revelam que as instituições pesquisadas articulam as modalidades avaliativas com o planejamento, utilizando seus resultados no processo decisório como diagnóstico para identificar e priorizar fragilidades, subsidiar as metas para ações de melhoria. Entre as modalidades, a maior incidência de uso corresponde à Avaliação de Cursos da Graduação (ACG), seguida da autoavaliação; tais resultados influenciam, principalmente, as metas relacionadas ao ensino, projetos pedagógicos de cursos, acervo, equipamentos, infraestrutura. Dentre os fatores que contribuem nesta articulação destacam-se: utilidade para o desenvolvimento institucional, fidedignidade das informações, envolvimento dos gestores, credibilidade do processo e relevância das informações. As instituições possuem diferentes estágios de articulação, segundo a potencialidade de seus processos de avaliação e planejamento, o que colabora para aprendizagem organizacional em cada uma e nas demais instituições da Rede Federal
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
