Enfermeira de saúde pública: contribuição ao estudo de suas funções
No full textCom o intuito de contribuir para o estudo das funções da enfermeira de saúde pública, face à situação que a enfermagem nesse campo apresenta no Brasil, aos escassos estudos existentes sobre o assunto e às necessidades sanitárias do País, a Autora realizou uma pesquisa em dois municípios do Estado do São Paulo. O trabalho analisa detidamente a situação da enfermagem do saúde pública no Estado do são Paulo, citando as disposições vigentes no País, que às vezes não são observadas, em prejuízo do profissional e do atendimento de enfermagem dispensado à população. A Autora, também, ressalta a importância da atuação da enfermeira de saúde pública e a necessidade que a população sente do seus serviços. Finalmente, o trabalho apresenta sugestões visando atender adequadamente às necessidades da população com relação a serviços de enfermagem.This paper analyses the situation of Public Health Nursing services in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Through a research conducted in two counties, the Author found out the perceptions and felt needs of the population in relation to nursing serviocs. The paper suggests ways of meeting the needs of the community in what adequacy of nursing services is concerned
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

The author ends up by indicating a few aspects of São Paulo public health agencies that need to be improved, suggesting policies whose implementation will help to solve some of the problems
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
AS CIÊNCIAS SOCIAIS NAS ESCOLAS DE SAÚDE PÚBLICA
No full textA Faculdade de Higiene e Saúde Pública da Universidade de São Paulo, Brasil, foi, se não a primeira, uma das primeiras escolas de saúde pública a introduzir em seu currículo uma disciplina de Ciências Sociais. Criou, em 1945, junto à cadeira de Técnica de Saúde Pública, a disciplina Problemas de Sociologia Aplicada, para alunos do Curso de Higiene e Saúde Pública para médicos. Atualmente, sob a denominação de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas, ministram-se aulas de Sociologia, Antropologia Cultural e noções de Psicologia Social, Política e Economia, a alunos de todos os cursos, nesse instituto universitário. O autor, considerando a importância das ciências sociais para a formação de qualquer técnico em saúde pública, propõe, nas escolas de saúde pública, a criação de uma cátedra especializada nesse setor do conhecimento humano. Tendo verificado que a maior parte das escolas onde se introduziu o ensino de Ciências Sociais, ou vêm dando solução parcial ao problema - com o ensino de uma só disciplina -, ou vêm criando mais de uma cátedra, considera que ambas as orientações não são convenientes, sendo preferível que se estabeleça a unidade de cátedra para as Ciências Sociais Aplicadas. Esta seria integrada pelas seguintes matérias básicas: Antropologia Cultural, Sociologia, Psicologia Social, Economia e Ciência Política. Poderiam também ser incluídas no currículo dos Cursos de Saúde Pública noções gerais de Ecologia Humana, Psicologia, Finanças e Aspectos Filosóficos da Saúde Pública. A cátedra de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas teria as seguintes funções básicas: ensino, pesquisa, orientação de alunos, assessoramento e coordenação. Acredita o autor, baseado em sua experiência - desde 1946 - no ensino de Ciências Sociais na Faculdade de Higiene e Saúde Pública, que o primeiro titular dessa cátedra deve ter formação e experiência em saúde pública e em Ciências Sociais, combinação esta que não é fácil de se encontrar. The University of São Paulo School of Hygiene and Public Health was one of the first, if not first, schools of Public Health to include Social Sciences in its curriculum. In 1915 it created, the disciplin "Problems in Applied Sociology", under the Department of Public Health Practice, designed for students in its Course of Hygiene and Public Health for Medical Doctors. At present classes in Sociology, Social Anthropology and principles of Social Psychology, Politics and Economy are lectured under the title Applied Social Sciences and include students from all its courses. The author, considering the importance of Social Sciences for formation of any Public Health technician, proposes the creation of a department specialized in Social Sciences in all schools of Public Health. The author has verified that schools in which Social Sciences have already been introduced are either solving the problem partially by teaching a simple discipline or creating more than on department. He considers both solutions inadequate, unity of department being preferable for Applied Social Sciences. Such a department should be made up of the following basic subjects: Social Anthropology, Sociology, Social Psychology, Economy and Political Sciences. Notions of Human Ecology, Psychology, Finances and Philosophical Aspects of Public Health could be included in the curriculum as well. The department of Applied Social Sciences would have the following basic functions: teaching, research student orientation, assessorship and coordination. The author believes, based on his personal experience in teaching Social Sciences at the School of Hygiene and Public Health since 1946 that the head of the department must have formation and exprience both in Public Health and Social Sciences, a very rare combination.
