O regime de informação entre o tratamento humanitário e a vigilância para o controle: ecos da gramática global no sistema de refúgio brasileiro
Get PDFThis research is an analysis about the information policy in the Brazilian refugee system, considering the notion of regime of information. Information policy is understood as a pillar of global refuge system, constructed and lead socially and historically by the State. It is characterized as a resource of power and made possible by infrastructure. So, it is treated as a logic of power based on information, which is oriented by two perspectives: human rights and national security. The objective is to investigate how this information policy is built in view of the regime theory, using as hypothesis the existence of a global dilemma between the languages of humanitarian treatment and of surveillance for control. A qualitative-quantitative methodology is adopted, based on a convergent analysis between hypothetic-deductive and inductive precepts ⎯ of exploratory character by documentation analysis ⎯ with the support of statistical data collection for descriptive and explicative analysis. Besides considering the interface between Information Science with other fields of knowledge, it was made an empirical study in the refugee archives at the Attendance Program of Refugees and Refuge Applicants at Caritas Archidiocesan of Rio de Janeiro (Pares-CARJ). To understand the environment where the flow of information has been produced, semi-structured interviews with professionals and volunteers of Pares-CARJ were made. As a complement to the information produced in the interviews, the motives of refugees were collected, which make them escape from their countries. Based on data analysis collected, it was observed that the dilemma suggested is part of the making of information policy about the refugees in Brazil. The regime of information is not imposed in an isolated form, but in convergence with other regimes, namely: regime of refuge and regime of surveillance. To observe the infrastructure that shapes the migration management allows to understand the languages that lead to certain political and operational behaviors, bearing in mind the logic of domination in international relations. In this way, asymmetries in multiple levels of informational power are revealed, as well as within the phases of production, systematization, transference, or ⎯ in a larger sense ⎯ in the political and decision making spheres.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorA pesquisa caracteriza-se como uma análise sobre a política de informação no sistema de refúgio brasileiro, a partir da noção de regime de informação. Compreende-se a política de informação concebida como um pilar do sistema de refúgio global, construído e orientado social e historicamente pelo Estado, caracterizado como um recurso de poder e concretizado por meio de infraestruturas. Trata-se, assim, de uma lógica de poder baseado na informação que abarca duas perspectivas: direitos humanos e segurança nacional. O objetivo é produzir conhecimento sobre como se constrói essa política de informação, implicando como hipótese a existência de um dilema global entre as linguagens do tratamento humanitário e da vigilância para o controle. Adotou-se uma metodologia quali-quantitativa, baseada em análise convergente entre preceitos hipotético-dedutivos ⎯ de caráter exploratório por análise documental ⎯ e indutivos, com o auxílio de coleta de dados estatísticos, para análise descritiva e explicativa. Associa-se aos marcos teóricos, valorizando a interface da Ciência da Informação com outras áreas do conhecimento, um estudo empírico no arquivo de refugiados do Programa de Atendimento de Refugiados e Solicitantes de Refúgio (Pares-CARJ). Para compreender a ambiência onde se produz o fluxo de informação foram submetidas entrevistas semiestruturadas com profissionais e voluntários do Pares-CARJ, tendo em vista as possíveis relações institucionais entre esta e o Departamento de Polícia Federal (DPF). Como complemento às informações das entrevistas, foram coletados os motivos de refúgio que levaram os solicitantes a saírem de seus respectivos países. Com base na análise dos dados coletados observou-se como resultados que o dilema apontado faz parte da construção da política de informação sobre refugiados no Brasil. O regime de informação, que congrega inclusive políticas de informação, não se impõe de forma isolada, mas em convergência com outros regimes, a saber: de refúgio e de vigilância. Atentar para a infraestrutura conformadora da gestão das migrações significa compreender as linguagens que regem determinadas condutas político-operacionais, tendo em vista lógicas de dominação nas relações internacionais. Nesse sentido, revelam-se assimetrias em múltiplas esferas do poder informacional, seja em sua produção, sistematização, transferência ou, de maneira macro, no espaço político-decisório

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
