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
Evaluation of the influence of suspended sediments in populations of Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774) (Mollusca, Bivalvia, Corbiculidae): comparative analysis on two watersheds of São Paulo State, Brazil
No full textCorbicula fluminea (MÜLLER, 1774), espécie exótica de bivalve, pertencente à família Corbiculidae, tem sido alvo de interesse de muitas pesquisas, por sua grande capacidade de dispersão e por ter tornado-se um importante competidor com as espécies de bivalves nativos de água doce, fato que se torna potencial causador de desequilíbrio ecológico. No entanto, embora a literatura demonstre que C. fluminea tolere as alterações ambientais nos sistemas aquáticos, estudos em duas microbacias hidrográficas, uma da bacia do Rio Pardo e outra da bacia do Rio Mogi Guaçu, revelaram que há mortalidade destes moluscos, em trechos destas microbacias. Experimentos realizados com animais coletados demonstraram suscetibilidade à presença de sedimentos, em magnitude e escala temporal parametrizadas, correlatas aos índices encontrados na natureza. Os animais demonstraram intolerância a condições de turbidez acima de 150 UNT, apresentando mortalidade de cinqüenta por cento da população experimental entre 96 e 120 horas de exposição, com início de mortalidade em 72 horas. Análises laboratoriais dos animais experimentados revelaram a presença de sedimentos na cavidade palial, indicando ser esta a provável causa da mortalidade, uma vez que se utilizam do mecanismo da filtração para alimentarem-se. De maneira correlata, as microbacias hidrográficas estudadas, apresentam características importantes, como o manejo, os tipos e a cobertura dos solos, a declividade do terreno e a intensidade dos eventos hidrológicos, que podem ser contributivas para o carreamento de sedimentos, em função de processos erosivos, para os corpos dágua, transformando-se em fator determinante da mortalidade de C. flumínea.The Asian clam Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774), exotic species of mollusk, belonging to the Corbiculidae family, has been the target of many research because of its great dispersal ability and to have developed into an important competitor with native species of freshwater, a fact that becomes potentially causer of ecological desequilibrium. However, although the literature shows that C. fluminea can tolerate environmental changes in aquatic systems, studies in two watersheds, one in Rio Pardo basin and another in Rio Mogi-Guaçu basin, revealed that there are mortality of these molluscs in points of these watersheds. Experiments conducted on animals collected at two points, demonstrated susceptibility to the presence of sediments, in magnitude and time scale parameterized, related to rates found in nature. The animals showed intolerance to the conditions of turbidity above 150 NTU, with a mortality rate of fifty percent of the experimental population between 96 and 120 hours of exposure, with early mortality in 72 hours. Laboratory testing showed the presence of sediment in the palial cavity, indicating that this is the likely cause of mortality, since it uses the mechanism of filtration to feed themselves. Way related, the watersheds studied have important characteristics, such as management, types and land cover, slope of the terrain and intensity of hydrological events, which may be contributory to the carrying of sediments, due to erosion, for water bodies, becoming a determining factor in mortality of C. fluminea
Prospective analysis of erosion risk areas of Bonito's River watershed (Descalvado - SP), potentially polluters by dejects of granges.
No full textA incorporação de novas tecnologias na pecuária, especialmente o confinamento de animais, proporcionou notável aumento da produtividade, otimizando o uso do solo. No entanto, esta técnica tem gerado um problema crucial à sustentabilidade da atividade: o manejo dos dejetos. Estes dejetos são normalmente lançados diretamente nos mananciais, distribuídos inadequadamente no solo, como fertilizante, ou ainda utilizados como complemento alimentar para peixes, bovinos, e até mesmo para suínos, contrariando Instruções Normativas do Ministério da Agricultura Pecuária e Abastecimento (MAPA) Nos. 07/04, 08/04 e 18/04, proibitivas em relação ao assunto. Quando os dejetos de animais são utilizados como fertilizantes em solos com elevado potencial à erosão, o volume de poluentes carreados e disponibilizados aos mananciais torna-se relevante, especialmente em relação aos nutrientes Nitrogênio (N) e Fósforo (P). De notável interesse, por ser um pólo econômico importante e de grande concentração de granjas de aves, o município de Descalvado, situado na parte central do Estado de São Paulo, é alvo deste tipo de poluição por apresentar solo com elevado potencial erosivo. Tendo como referência este problema ambiental, o estudo concentrou-se na quantificação da produção de sedimentos nas diversas áreas da microbacia do Rio Bonito, (Descalvado SP), relacionando-as com a concentração e a distribuição local de granjas, o manejo dos dejetos e as práticas agrícolas de cada área. A partir dos resultados de simulação, com a utilização do modelo hidrossedimentológico AVSWAT em plataforma ARCVIEW 3.1, foi possível evidenciar regiões da microbacia que mantêm elevada taxa de fornecimento de nitrogênio (N) e fósforo (P) para os mananciais, provenientes dos dejetos animais, demonstrando-se coerentes com os dados de entrada de contaminação. Os resultados das simulações de erosão para os solos da microbacia do Rio Bonito também se demonstraram coerentes com a realidade brasileira, evidenciando ser o estudo de grande aplicabilidade e interesse para os gestores e tomadores de decisão da bacia hidrográfica.The incorporation of new technologies on livestock, specially the confinement of animals, has brought considerable increase in the productivity, optimizing the use of the soil. However, this technique has been generating a crucial problem to the sustain of the activity: the management of dejects. These dejects are being commonly thrown directly into the water sources, improperly spread onto the soil, as fertilizer or, yet, used as alimentary complement for fish, bovines, and also to pigs, thwarting the Normative Instructions of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply Ministry (MAPA) Nos. 07/04, 08/04 e 18/04 MAPA. When the animal wastes are used as a fertilizer on the soil with high potential of erosion, an important charge of pollutants is then carried and made available to sources, especially in what concerns to Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P). With an remarkable interest, because of being an important economic center and because it concentrates a great amount of chicken granges, the city of Descalvado, located in the center of the State of São Paulo (Brazil) has been a target to this type of pollution because of its soil feature that is high potentially erosive. By this environmental problem, the research concentrates itself in the quantification of the production of sediments in the several areas of Bonitos river watershed (Descalvado SP), relating them to the concentration and local distribution of the granges, the waste management and the agricultural practices of each areas. Starting from the simulation results, with the use of the mathematical model AVSWAT (Arc View Soil and Water Assessment Tool) in platform ARCVIEW 3.1, it was possible to evidence the critical areas in relation of pollution, mainly those ones that contributes with Phosphorous (P) and Nitrogen (N), provided by animal wastes. The results of erosion simulations for the soils of the Bonitos river watershed were demonstrated coherent with the Brazilian reality, evidencing to be this research of great interest for the managers and decision makers of the watershed
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
