Criatividade intercultural e exploração por meio de elementos gamelanísticos em Puteri Gunung Ledang de Marzelan Salleh e Sonho de John Cage
No full textIntercultural activity especially through music is widespread and relevant to Malaysian current times. The abundance of music compositions labeled intercultural since the 1900s clearly proves its effectiveness and strength as society continues to embrace them. The emergence of young and new contemporary composers contributes to the advancement of musical ideas and updated knowledge towards contemporary music compositions both locally and internationally. Through them, intercultural resources and tools for composing from various cultures are explored in creative ways. This chapter discusses the composition of two piano works from Marzelan Salleh, a Malaysian composer, and the late John Cage, an American composer. Both explore the possibilities, intentionally or unintentionally, of combining contrasting influences of Asian traditional music idiom with Western traditional and contemporary compositional techniques into personal musical expressions.A atividade intercultural, especialmente por meio da música, é amplamente difundida e relevante para os tempos atuais da Malásia. A abundância de composições musicais rotuladas como interculturais desde 1900 prova claramente sua eficácia e força à medida que a sociedade continua a abraçá-las. O surgimento de jovens e novos compositores contemporâneos contribui para o avanço das ideias musicais e do conhecimento atualizado para composições musicais contemporâneas, tanto local quanto internacionalmente. Através deles, recursos interculturais e ferramentas para compor de várias culturas são explorados de maneiras criativas. Este capítulo discute a composição de duas obras para piano de Marzelan Salleh, um compositor malaio, e do falecido John Cage, um compositor americano. Ambos exploram as possibilidades, intencionalmente ou não, de combinar influências contrastantes do idioma da música tradicional asiática com técnicas composicionais tradicionais e contemporâneas ocidentais em expressões musicais pessoais

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Sócio Econômico, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Contabilidade, Florianópolis, 2014.O orçamento é um dos instrumentos gerenciais mais utilizados pelas organizações, uma vez que operacionaliza o planejamento estratégico e possibilita o desdobramento das operações em metas. Apesar das inúmeras mudanças ambientais, estruturais, tecnológicas, sociais, entre outras, os processos de planejamento, de execução e de controle no orçamento são fundamentais para a gestão das empresas. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo apresentar as práticas adotadas no processo orçamentário dos bancos comerciais brasileiros, e se justifica pela evolução da pesquisa continuada em práticas de orçamento nas empresas, realizada pelo Núcleo de Pesquisa em Controladoria do Programa de Pós-graduação em Ciências Contábeis da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Justifica-se, também, pela necessidade de se explorar as práticas utilizadas no segmento sob aspectos conceituais, comportamentais e que influenciam o processo orçamentário. Apresenta uma abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa, com objetivo descritivo e exploratório, mediante a utilização de instrumento de levantamento ou survey. Para atingir o objetivo, foram enviados questionários a 25 bancos brasileiros, dos quais 16 responderam, sendo 7 privados e 9 públicos. Os resultados mostram que as práticas adotadas nas etapas de planejamento, de execução e de controle no processo orçamentário nos bancos brasileiros se alinham às práticas encontradas e adotadas em outros segmentos empresariais, embora o tipo de controle acionário dos bancos possam evidenciar diferenças entre algumas práticas observadas. A pesquisa deixa como contribuições a ampliação da quantidade de estudos relacionados às práticas de orçamento, um panorama sobre as práticas adotadas no processo orçamentário nos bancos comerciais brasileiros e, além disso, a possibilidade de se utilizar este estudo como base para novas pesquisas, e também para o aperfeiçoamento do instrumento utilizado.Abstract : Budget is one of the management tools most used by organizations, because it operationalizes the strategic planning and enables the deployment of operations into goals. Despite numerous environmental, structural, technological and social changes, etc., the processes of planning, execution and control in budgeting are critical to the management of companies. This research has as it main goal to present current practices in budgeting process of Brazilian commercial banks. It is justified by the evolution of continued research into budgeting practices in companies performed by the Research Center in Accounting of the Federal University of Santa Catarina, and by the need to explore practices used in the segment under conceptual and behavioral aspects that influence the budgetary process. The work presents a quantitative and qualitative approach with descriptive and exploratory goals, using a survey instrument. To achieve the objective, questionnaires were sent to 25 Brazilian banks, which 16 have responded, being 7 private and 9 state-owned. The results showed that practices applied in stages of planning, execution, and control in the budgeting process at Brazilian banks align with the practices found and adopted in other business segments, although the type of equity control of the banks may reveal differences between some practices surveyed. This research contributes to the expansion of studies related to the budgeting practices, gives an overview about the practices applied in the budgeting process at Brazilian commercial banks and provides the possibility of using it as a basis for further research, besides the improvement of the instrument used in the survey
