    This paper analyzes the effectiveness of the Alternative Penalty Policy at the Alternative Penalties and Measures Center in the City of Porto Nacional - Tocantins. To achieve this goal, a research of applied nature was elaborated, with a qualitative approach, descriptive and exploratory purposes, counting on the development of a case study. The specific objectives are to analyze how the process of implementation of the Policy of Penal Alternatives is at the state level, as well as to verify the rate of criminal recidivism in cases of those sentenced to the restrictive penalty of rights in CEPEMA of Porto Nacional. Regarding the state level, it was found that the actions are aligned with the guidelines of the National Policy on Penal Alternatives, and that the current paradigm scenario is extremely promising. In relation to the local recidivism rate, considering the concept of legal recidivism, adopted by Brazilian legislation, a study was conducted involving individuals who were serving sentences restricting rights in the year 2016, and were accompanied by CEPEMA, identifying which ones returned to delinquency in the period of five years after the first condemnation, between the years 2017 and 2021, making up the statistical index of 23% of recidivism. Finally, the results obtained were systematized in Excel program spreadsheets, being transformed into statistical graphs, ensuring a clear and didactic exposition of the results obtained.O presente trabalho analisa em que medida a Política de Alternativas Penais tem alcançado eficácia na Central de Penas e Medidas Alternativas da Comarca de Porto Nacional – Tocantins (CEPEMA). Para alcançar tal desiderato, elaborou-se uma pesquisa de natureza aplicada, com abordagem qualitativa, fins descritivos e exploratórios, contando com o desenvolvimento de um estudo de caso. Os objetivos específicos consistem em analisar como se encontra o processo de implementação da Política de Alternativas Penais em âmbito estadual, como também verificar o índice de reincidência criminal nos casos de condenados à pena restritiva de direitos na CEPEMA de Porto Nacional. No que tange ao âmbito estadual, verificou-se que as ações se encontram alinhadas com as diretrizes da Política Nacional de Alternativas Penais, e que o cenário do paradigma atual é promissor. Em relação ao índice de reincidência local, considerando o conceito de reincidência jurídica, adotado pela legislação brasileira, realizou-se um estudo envolvendo os indivíduos que cumpriam penas restritivas de direitos no ano de 2016, e eram acompanhados pela CEPEMA, identificando-se quais voltaram a delinquir no período de cinco anos posteriores à primeira condenação, entre os anos de 2017 e 2021, perfazendo o índice estatístico de 23% de reincidência. Por fim, os resultados obtidos foram sistematizados em planilhas do programa Excel, sendo transformados em gráficos estatísticos, o que possibilita uma exposição didática dos resultados obtidos

    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

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    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

    Governança comunitária dos bens naturais de uso comum na reserva extrativista do Ciriaco – MA

    Full text link
    Extractive Reserves (Resex) are considered a category of conservation unit for sustainable use, established by Law nº. 9,985 of July 18, 2000 (Law on the National System of Conservation Units). Resex are territorial spaces used by traditional extractive communities, which guarantee their subsistence in extractivism or in the mixed activity of agro-extractivism. In Brazil, the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio) is responsible for managing 324 federal Conservation Units. Among them is the Ciriaco Extractive Reserve, object of this research, located in the municipality of Cidelândia in the State of Maranhão, covering the communities: Ciriaco, Centro do Olímpio, Alto Bonito and Viração. In this context, this thesis aims to verify which are the strategies of community governance established for the conservation of natural assets of common use, by the communities of the Extractive Reserve of Ciriaco, from Ostrom’s eight basic principles to reach solid institutions. To achieve this aim, documental research was carried out, which analyzed Resex's development projects. In addition, questionnaires were applied to Community members and to the members of the Resex Deliberative Council. The results showed that a single model of community governance for natural assets is not enough to promote the balance and durability of institutions and socio-environmental and cultural sustainability, essential in an Extractive Reserve, and that it also contributes to the strengthening of its Social Capital Community, a very desirable attribute for its development. From this perspective, the development of a research agenda would contribute to broadening and deepening points of community governance that require greater clarity, such as: expanding the principles that indicate the prosperity and sustainability of Extractive Reserves over time, seeking to meet regional demands (social, environmental and cultural), to the features of each biome.As Reservas Extrativistas (Resex) são consideradas uma categoria de unidade de conservação de uso sustentável, estabelecida pela Lei n° 9.985, de 18 de julho de 2000 (Lei do Sistema Nacional de Unidades de Conservação). As Resex são espaços territoriais utilizados por comunidades extrativistas tradicionais, que garantem a sua subsistência no extrativismo ou na atividade mista do agroextrativismo. No Brasil, o Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade (ICMBio) é responsável pela gestão das 324 Unidades de Conservação federais, dentre elas está a Reserva Extrativista do Ciriaco, objeto desta pesquisa, localizada no município de Cidelândia no Estado do Maranhão, abrangendo as comunidades: Ciriaco, Centro do Olímpio, Alto Bonito e Viração. Nesse contexto, esta tese tem por objetivo verificar quais são as estratégias de governança comunitária estabelecidas para a conservação dos bens naturais de uso comum, pelos comunitários da Reserva Extrativista do Ciriaco, a partir dos oito princípios básicos, de Ostrom, para se alcançar instituições sólidas. Para alcançar esse objetivo, foi realizada uma pesquisa documental, que analisou os projetos de desenvolvimento da Resex. Outrossim, foram aplicados questionários aos Comunitários e aos membros do Conselho Deliberativo da Resex. Os resultados mostraram que um único modelo de governança comunitária para os bens naturais não é suficiente para promover o equilíbrio e a durabilidade das instituições e a sustentabilidade socioambiantal e cultural, essenciais em uma Reserva Extrativista, e que ainda contribua para o fortalecimento do seu Capital Social Comunitário, atributo bastante desejável para seu desenvolvimento. Nessa perspectiva, a construção de uma agenda de pesquisa contribuiria para ampliar e aprofundar pontos da governança comunitária que requerem maior clareza, como: ampliar os princípios que indicam a prosperidade e a sustentabilidade de Reservas Extrativistas ao longo do tempo, buscando atender as demandas regionais (sociais, ambientais e culturais), às especificidades de cada bioma

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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

    We 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
