Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Trabalhadores em cruzeiros turísticos : o conflito de leis do trabalho no espaço
Full text linkO trabalho marítimo é antigo, mas a globalização oportunizou o crescimento do setor hoteleiro naval, intensificando a contratação de mão de obra brasileira. Com isso, a discussão interna sobre qual norma é aplicável se intensificou. Alguns fatores históricos desse debate são importantes, como a criação da Lei 7.064 de 1982, o entendimento jurisprudencial unificado na Súmula 207 do TST, bem como o seu cancelamento no ano de 2012 e agora a aprovação no Congresso da adesão a Convenção 186 da OIT. De um lado, a defesa pela aplicação da lei nacional aos brasileiros aqui contratados ¿ ou parcialmente contratados e/ou arregimentados ¿ para laborar parcialmente no Brasil e outra parte fora. Do outro lado, a defesa pela unificação de uma normativa internacional em favor dos trabalhadores marítimos e das companhias, com o fito de criar uma só linguagem jurídica sobre essa modalidade de trabalho. No centro dessa discussão estão aspectos de soberania, Direitos Humanos, Direito Internacional Público e Privado, Direito do Trabalho (interno e internacional) e Direito Processual, cívelMaritime work is old, but globalization has made it possible for the maritime hotel industry to grow, intensifying the hiring of Brazilian labor. As a result, internal discussion on which normative standardis applicable has intensified. Some historical factors are important to this debate such as the creation of Law 7.064 of 1982, the unified jurisprudential understanding in TST Precedent 207, as well as its cancellation in 2012 and now the Congressional approval of the adhesion to Convention 186 of the ILO. On one hand, stands the argument for the application of national law to Brazilians hired in Brazil - or partially hired and / or regimented - to work partly in Brazil and abroad. On the other hand, stands the arguments for the unification of an international norm in favor of maritime workers and companies, which aim at creating a single legal standard about this type of work. At the center of this discussion are aspects of sovereignty, human rights, public and private international law, labor law (domestic and international) and procedural, civil and labor law, especially regarding applicable laws and jurisdiction
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Project finance como fonte alternativa de recursos
Full text linkDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro TecnológicoA pesquisa aborda um estudo sobre o modelo de Project Finance, como instrumento de fomento para o desenvolvimento econômico e como uma alternativa para viabilização de projetos de grande porte. Monstra as dificuldades encontradas pelo mercado de encontrar formas de financiamento que possam facilitar os investimentos nesses projetos. Utiliza-se como fio condutor a análise do estudo de caso da Hidrelétrica de Itapebi, observando junto aos diretores a sua elaboração, colhendo conhecimento dentro desse contexto específico. O foco do estudo recaiu em duas questões: 1) A utilização de sistemas específicos para o financiamento de projetos complexos, evidenciando que cada caso merece ser estudado e desenhado conforme suas características; 2) A contribuição do modelo Project Finance para o controle administrativo de projetos envolvendo múltiplas atividades integradas, mostrando as variáveis que podem ocorrer na sua criação e as formas de administração para minimizar seus riscos. Os resultados mostram como é feita a caracterização do Project Finance, com base na observação in loco do trabalho realizado pelas pessoas envolvidas no projeto da Usina Hidrelétrica de Itapebi, nas análises dos documentos produzidos e nas entrevistas formais e informais realizadas durante a pesquisa. Pode-se verificar também, as diretrizes administrativas que são emanadas do conjunto de contratos necessários para a composição do empreendimentos e a contribuição dos mesmos para redução de riscos. The research approaches a study on the model of Project Finance, as instrument of promotion for the economic development and as an alternative for viabilização of large projects. It demonstrates the difficulties found for the market to find financing forms that can facilitate the investments in these projects. The analysis of the study of case of the Hidrelétrica de Itapebi is used as conducting wire, observing together to the directors its elaboration, harvesting knowledge inside of this specific context. The focus of the study fell again into two questions: 1) the use of specific systems for the financing of complex projects, evidencing that each in case that it deserves to be studied and to be drawn as its characteristics; 2) the contribution of the model Project Finance for the administrative control of projects involving multiple integrated activities, demonstrating the variable that can occur in its creation and the forms of administration to minimize its risks. The results show as the characterization of the Project Finance is made, on the basis of to the comment in lease of the work carried through for the involved people in the project of the Plant Hidrelétrica de Itapebi, in the analyses of documents produced and in carried through the formal and informal interviews the research. It can also be verified, the administrative lines of direction that are emanated of the set of necessary contracts for the composition of the enterprises and the contribution of the same ones for reduction of risks
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
