Miro o mar, Morais no grande tabuleiro?
Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura.Esta pesquisa tem como objeto de estudo a obra A coroa no reino das possibilidades, do escritor catarinense Miro Morais e pretende realizar o entrecruzamento entre a corrente filosófica existencialista e a história veiculada no romance, cujo tema principal é comum e pertinente: a busca incessante da liberdade. Inicialmente investiga-se a trajetória literária do autor, seu estilo ficcional, temática e sua recepção na crítica literária. A seguir, percorre-se a história, temas e principais pensadores da filosofia existencialista, vertente filosófica que se propalava nos meios intelectuais na época em que o romance foi escrito. Logo, reconhece-se a forte influência que essa corrente de pensamento exerceu na poética literatura de Miro Morais, que numa escrita lúdica e lúcida leva o leitor a refletir sobre a vida, a liberdade e o sentido da existência

A universalizabilidade dos juízos morais na ética de Hare
Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Filosofia.A presente dissertação analisa a Tese da Universalizabilidade dos juízos morais do filósofo inglês Richard Mervyn Hare, no âmbito de sua teoria ética, a saber, o Prescritivismo Universal. Hare, através da análise da linguagem moral, elabora uma relevante obra sobre os imperativos e os argumentos presentes no discurso ético. Com as teses da Prescritividade e Universalizabilidade dos juízos morais aliadas à sua ética normativa, o Utilitarismo de Preferências, Hare consolida uma versão plausível de teoria ética. Abordamos, assim, ao longo deste trabalho, as principais influências, problemas e respostas vinculadas à Tese da Universalizabilidade, desde questões meta-éticas, normativas até de ética aplicada
Cognitivismo ético: a fundamentação dos conceitos morais em Locke
Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em FilosofiaEsta tese aborda o problema dos fundamentos dos conceitos morais na obra de John Locke. Aparentemente, Locke teria dois projetos irreconciliáveis para fundamentar a moral, um não-cognitivista e o outro cognitivista. Após caracterizarmos os dois projetos, defendemos que há um engano de interpretação, porque Locke tem um único projeto dividido em duas partes que se complementam para fundamentar a moral. O conceito de lei natural está sempre presente. O projeto centra-se na ideia da existência de Deus e da lei natural, aliada à razão humana. O cognitivismo ético de Locke emerge como uma consequência da sua defesa de que o entendimento pode construir as ideias a partir do acesso ao conhecimento da essência real e da essência nominal dos modos mistos. Por isso, os conceitos morais são reais e objetivos. Por conseguinte, o subjetivismo e o ceticismo éticos foram dissolvidos. Defendemos também que as ações humanas são consideradas morais, somente em comparação com as ideias de lei e não em comparação com as ideias das sensações de prazer e de dor. Com isso, as interpretações hedonistas que atribuem ao pensamento lockeano foram revisitadas e harmonizadasThis thesis approaches the problem about the fundamentals of the moral concepts in John Locke#s writings. Seemingly, Locke would have two irreconcilable projects to fundament morality, one noncognitive and the other cognitive. After having characterized the two projects, one defends that there is a misinterpretation since Locke has a unique project split in two parts, which complement each other in order to fundament morality. The concept of natural law is always present. The project concerns about the idea of God existence and the natural law associated with the human reason. Locke#s ethical cognitivism emerges as a consequence of his defense of the idea that the understanding can construct ideas from the knowledge access of the real essence and the nominal essence of the mixed modes. Thereupon, the moral concepts are real and objective. Consequently, the moral subjectivism and ceticism were dissolved. One also defends that human actions are considered moral, only in comparison with the law ideas and not in comparison with the ideas of the pain and pleasure sensation. Therefore, the hedonist interpretation attributed to the thought of Locke were revisited and harmonize

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
The force method to calculate stress intensity factors for arbitrary meshes
The force method is a simple and accurate technique to obtain the stress intensity factors (SIF) for both modes I, II and also mixed I+II modes of fracture. The method uses the summation of internal nodal forces in the vicinity of the crack tip to compute SIFs. Recently, de Morais 1 showed that the force method is able to yield accurate SIF values from FE models constructed with regular meshes of linear elements. In this paper, the force method is applied successfully to general finite element meshes, in such a way that it can be used on crack propagation algorithms with arbitrary crack paths
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
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
