    Dissertação de mestrado em GestãoExame público realizado em 18 de abril de 2024, 18h45Este estudo tem como principal objetivo avaliar o impacto da pandemia Covid19 no processo de liderança. Pretendeu-se também identificar quais foram as ações tomadas pelas organizações em decorrência da pandemia; observar que tipos de políticas comunicacionais foram implementadas no processo de liderança no contexto pandémico; compreender qual o impacto provocado pelas alterações introduzidas no processo de liderança, quanto aos métodos de controlo e avaliação da equipa; perceber como se realizou essa atividade; analisar o grau de eficácia e eficiência de liderança adotado no contexto da Covid19, relativamente aos objetivos definidos para a equipa e organização. Ou seja, perceber se as metas foram atingidas, se houve um aumento na exigência de trabalho; verificar se houve mudanças comportamentais na forma de liderar, entendendo quais foram essas alterações; ponderar sobre quais foram os desafios enfrentados pelo líder, no âmbito do autodesenvolvimento, durante esse período; verificar se as ações adotadas pelos líderes durante a pandemia irão permanecer ou se foram pontuais; entender se a pandemia e as suas novas formas de atuação fizeram repensar o método de liderar. Recorreu-se a uma pesquisa qualitativa para identificar as alterações ocorridas no processo de liderança mais adotadas no contexto da pandemia. A investigação recorreu a uma amostra de vinte e seis líderes, em cargos de CEO ou direção de empresas startups, através de entrevistas. O estudo mostrou quais foram as mudanças e as ações tomadas pelos gestores nas pequenas e médias startups do estado do Paraná (Brasil) e da área do Grande Porto (Portugal), e se esses gestores deram continuidade às ações no pós-covid-19. Como resultado, observaram-se mudanças nas ações dos líderes dentro das organizações, surgiu a necessidade de mudança, forçando-os a serem mais criativos e dinâmicos, a enfrentar desafios e transformar e adaptar as suas práticas. Em momentos de crise, os líderes assumem uma importância especial, apontando-se para a Liderança Situacional, onde se tornou necessário perceber como se adaptar conforme as necessidades e circunstâncias; esses gestores mencionam a necessidade de ser flexíveis e a necessidade de serem capazes de mudar a sua abordagem de acordo com a ocasião, ao mesmo tempo que precisaram fomentar a resiliência e o bem-estar, com um trabalho remoto e a tendência de se atuar de modo híbrido.The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of the Covid19 pandemic on the leadership process. It was also intended to identify what actions were taken by organizations as a result of the pandemic; observe, what types of communication policies occurred in the leadership process in the pandemic context; understand, what impact the changes in the leadership process had on the team's control and measurement methods; understand, how this activity was carried out; analyze the degree of effectiveness and efficiency of leadership adopted in the context of Covid19, with regard to the objectives defined for the team and organization. That is, to understand if the goals were achieved, if there was an increase in the demand for work; to verify if there were behavioral changes in the way of leading, understanding what these changes were; to consider, what were the challenges faced by the leader, in the scope of self-development, during this period; to verify if the actions adopted by the leaders during the pandemic will remain or were punctual; to understand if the pandemic and its new ways of acting, made rethink the method of leading.

    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    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

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In 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.
