O VELHO ESTÁ MORRENDO E O NOVO NÃO PODE NASCER: SOBRE MONSTROS, TERRITÓRIOS EM CHAMAS E NOVAS POSSIBILIDADES DE IMAGINAÇÃO GEOGRÁFICA
Get PDFO movimento de valorização do espaço, imposto pelo capital, incendeia territórios e ameaça as condições de manutenção da vida no planeta. Como um monstro que cresce sem parar e, nesse movimento de expansão, mostra sua face mais violenta e também suas maiores fraquezas, o capitalismo desorganiza modos de vida e destrói ambientes a taxas cada vez mais velozes, mostrando ser um modo de produção na mesma proporção em que é um modo de destruição. Este pequeno ensaio utiliza a metáfora do monstro para denunciar esse movimento de barbárie e indicar que outro mundo é possível e outras formas de imaginação geográfica podem ser fundamentais para realizar o processo de escrita da verdadeira história humana
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
Geographical unknows: Francisco Bhering and territorial issues in the early twentieth century
No full textEste trabalho analisa as principais questões referentes à modernização do território brasileiro no início do século XX, a partir dos projetos idealizados por Francisco Bhering (1867-1924). Formado na Escola Politécnica do Rio de Janeiro, membro do Apostolado Positivista, professor das escolas politécnicas de São Paulo e do Rio de Janeiro e diretor da Repartição Geral dos Telégrafos, este engenheiro civil que completou seus estudos em Astronomia no Observatório de Paris atuou no sentido de promover o efetivo reconhecimento das áreas consideradas incógnitas do País. Para isto contou com o apoio de instituições como o Clube de Engenharia e a Sociedade de Geografia do Rio de Janeiro e de personalidades como o engenheiro militar Candido Rondon que tiveram efetiva participação na defesa da realização de seus dois grandes projetos a expansão da rede telegráfica até o Amazonas e a elaboração da Carta do Brasil ao milionésimo. Estes planos visavam atender à ânsia modernizadora do Estado republicano e das classes dominantes como parte do projeto de dominação e controle do território e de sua população.This paper analyzes the main issues concerning of Brazil modernization in the early twentieth century, from the projects devised by Francisco Bhering (1867-1924). Formed at the Rio de Janeiro Polytechnic School, a member of the Positivist Apostolate, a professor of the São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro Polytechnic Schools and a Telegraph General Bureau director, the civil engineer who completed his studies in astronomy at the Paris Observatory acted to promote the effective recognition of the considered country \"unknown\" areas. That had the support of institutions like Engineering Club and Rio de Janeiro Geography Society and personalities as the military engineer Candido Rondon who have effective participation in the defense of his two major projects accomplish - the telegraph expansion to the Amazon and the Charter of Brazil to the millionth drafting. These plans were intended to satisfy the Republican State and master classes urge modernizing as part of the territory and its population domination and control project
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
Projetos para um país em projeto
Get PDFDurante primeiro quartel do século XX, diversos projetos de reconhecimento e integração do território brasileiro foram discutidos em instituições como o Clube de Engenharia do Rio de Janeiro. Desde sua fundação, em 1880, o Clube de Engenharia mostrava sua principal característica, qual seja, a união entre engenheiros e empresários com o objetivo de discutir questões técnicas e modos de facilitar os negócios e o processo de modernização. Neste sentido, o Clube conseguiu alcançar uma posição de destaque na sociedade brasileira ao efetuar pareceres, realizar congressos e exposições e ainda influenciar as reformas urbanas, como no caso do Rio de Janeiro. Dessa maneira atingia-se o objetivo primordial da instituição: o da organização e defesa dos interesses de classe. Para além disso, esta instituição transformou-se em uma grande arena onde eram discutidos os problemas relacionados à modernização do País. Dentre eles tinham grande destaque as questões relacionadas à integração territorial por intermédio das ferrovias e do telégrafo e a elaboração de planos de efetivo reconhecimento das áreas consideradas "incógnitas". Este trabalho tem como principal objetivo analisar a produção de conhecimentos sobre o território brasileiro a partir da atuação dos engenheiros vinculados ao Clube de Engenharia, dando ênfase ao projeto de elaboração da Carta do Brasil ao Milionésimo de 1922, buscando contribuir para ampliar o debate sobre a História da Ciência e da Geografia no Brasil.During the 20th century first quarter, several Brazilian territory recognition and integration projects were discussed in institutions such as the Rio de Janeiro Engineering Club. Since its founding in 1880, the Engineering Club has shown its main characteristic, the union between engineers and businessmen with the objective of discussing technical issues and ways to facilitate business and the modernization process. In this sense, the Club was able to reach a prominent position in Brazilian society by making opinions, conducting congresses and exhibitions and also influencing urban reforms, as in the Rio de Janeiro case. In this way the primary objective of the institution was achieved: the organization and defense of class interests. In addition, this institution became a large arena where the problems related to the modernization of the country were discussed. Among them the issues related to territorial integration through the railways and the telegraph and the elaboration of plans of effective recognition of the considered "unknown" areas. This work has as main objective to analyze the production of knowledge about the Brazilian territory from the performance of the engineers linked to the Engineering Club, emphasizing the elaboration of Millionth Brazil Chart project in 1922, trying to contribute to broaden the debate about the History of Science and Geography in Brazil.Durante el primer cuarto del siglo XX, varios proyectos de reconocimiento e integración de Brasil se discutieron en las instituciones como el Club de Ingeniería de Río de Janeiro.
