Perfis, trajetórias e relações de gênero na gestão da educação científica, tecnológica e profissional de Goiás
No full textFundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de Goiás - FAPEGThe present dissertation has the objective of analyzing the gender relations in management positions in a public institution of scientific, professional and technological education located at the state of Goiás. The management positions differentiate through the content of work, gratifications, diverse levels of power, participation in the deliberative instances, responsibility and institutional visibility. The motivation for the study of the occupation of the management positions of the scientific, professional and technological education is reasoned in the literature that articulates work and gender which reveals the disparities in the access of power charges between men and
women, in which women are in the charges of less power and remuneration in the organizations. It was sought to verify if in the educational field, that is characterized for a majority of female presence, if these disparities remained. The methodology used consists in a triangulation of datas and qualitative and quantitative methods. The qualitative approach happened through a semistructured interview. The interviews happened with managers of all levels of the institutional chart and allowed us to understand patterns and differences in the institutional trajectory, verify elements of participation in deliberative instances and observe how men and women articulate work and family. Regarding the quantitative methods, we restored to the elaboration of a questionnaire and data provided by the institution that was researched. The questionnaire tried to
obtain data that was not given by the institution such as, for example, race. The data given by the institution made it possible to characterize the profile of people that occupy management positions. The results point to a male predominance in the charges of high management and female predominance in the charges of less power, remuneration and in which participation in the deliberative instances is limited. Besides that, the occupation of the management positions is more favorable to married men then to married women. This can be explained by the fact that the articulation of work and family as well as the institutional trajectories of men and women show
themselves distinct, with an overload of work for women.A presente dissertação tem o objetivo de analisar as relações de gênero em cargos de gestão em uma instituição pública de educação científica, profissional e tecnológica localizada no estado de Goiás. Os cargos de gestão se diferenciam pelo conteúdo do trabalho, gratificações, diversos níveis de poder, participação nas instâncias deliberativas, responsabilidades e visibilidade institucional. A motivação para o estudo da ocupação dos cargos de gestão da educação científica, profissional e tecnológica fundamenta-se na literatura que articula trabalho e gênero e revela as disparidades no acesso a cargos de poder entre homens e mulheres, nos quais as mulheres detêm menor poder e remuneração nas organizações. Buscou-se verificar se no âmbito educacional, campo caracterizado pela maior presença de mulheres, tais disparidades permanecem. A metodologia utilizada constituiu-se de uma triangulação de dados e métodos qualitativos e quantitativos. A abordagem qualitativa se deu por meio de entrevista semiestruturada. As entrevistas foram realizadas com gestores/gestoras de todos os níveis do organograma institucional e nos permitiu compreender padrões e diferenças na trajetória institucional, assim como verificar elementos da participação nas instâncias deliberativas e também observar como homens e mulheres articulam trabalho e família. Quanto aos métodos quantitativos recorreu-se a elaboração de um questionário e de dados fornecidos pela instituição pesquisada. O questionário buscou obter dados não fornecidos pela instituição, como por exemplo, raça. Já os dados fornecidos pela instituição possibilitou caracterizar o perfil das pessoas que integram os cargos de gestão. Os resultados apontam preponderância masculina nos cargos da alta gestão e predomínio feminino nos cargos de menor poder, remuneração e cuja participação nas instâncias deliberativas é limitada. Além disto, a ocupação dos cargos de gestão mostra-se mais favorável aos homens casados do que para as mulheres casadas. Isto pode ser explicado pelo fato de que a articulação entre trabalho e família, bem como as trajetórias institucionais de homens e mulheres se mostraram bastante distintas, com sobrecarga de trabalho para as mulheres
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
