No full textThis article aims to present and contextualize the concept of terrorism in Eugenio Diniz’s point of view, focusing on the analytical model of terror combat proposed by the author. An analysis of the case contemplating Al-Qaeda’s cyberspace activities relating elements which approach the importance of the facilities provided by the internet for terrorist logistics maintenance in the 21st century. The use of the network is efficient to mobilize resources and feed its trajectory by accomplishing essential functions, such as publicity’s maintenance, recruitment, training, financing, organization and political support, in order to reach a vast number of people who can sympathize with the cause and start supporting it. Associating the role of the group with the theoretical elements enables the understanding of neutralization and breaking of a terrorist organization for Eugenio Diniz.Pesquisa sem auxílio de agências de fomentoTrabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação)Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar e contextualizar o conceito de terrorismo para Eugenio Diniz, com foco no modelo analítico de combate ao terror proposto pelo autor. É contemplada uma análise de caso da Al-Qaeda em suas atividades no ciberespaço relacionando elementos que abordam a importância da infraestrutura fornecida pela internet para a manutenção logística terrorista no século XXI. O uso da rede é eficaz para mobilizar recursos e alimentar sua trajetória ao realizar funções essenciais, como a manutenção da propaganda, recrutamento, treinamento, financiamento, organização e apoio político, com o intuito de atingir vasto número de pessoas que podem se solidarizar com a causa e passar a apoiá-la. O cruzamento da atuação do grupo com os elementos teóricos possibilita o entendimento da neutralização e desbaratamento de uma organização terrorista conforme indica Eugenio Diniz
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
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
A responsabilidade civil por dano ambiental
Full text linkOrientador: Prof. Dr. Antônio Carlos EfingTrabalho de Conclusão de Curso (especialização) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Agrárias, Curso de Especialização em Direito AmbientalInclui referênciasResumo: Os prejuízos causados pelo ser humano ao meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado implicam diretamente na infração de um direito constitucionalmente previsto, acarretando, assim, nos danos ambientais passíveis de responsabilização civil, penal e administrativa. Diante deste cenário, o presente artigo apresenta uma análise específica do instituto da responsabilidade civil no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, expondo a divisão doutrinária existente entre a responsabilidade civil subjetiva e objetiva, a aplicação da teoria do risco e dos princípios da precaução, prevenção e poluidor pagador. Por fim, expõe os principais mecanismos utilizados para reparação do dano, ou seja, as maneiras para se obter o retorno ou a máxima aproximação ao estado das coisas antes de sua ocorrênciaAbstract: The damages caused by the human being to the ecologically balanced environment directly implies the violation of a right which is provided by the Constitution. It can result in environmental damages that can be liable to civil, criminal and administrative accountability. Given this scenario, this article presents a specific analysis of the institute of liability in the Brazilian legal system, exposing the existing doctrinal division between subjective and objective liability, the application of development risk and the principles of precaution, prevention and polluter pays. Finally, it exposes the main mechanisms used to repair the damage, that is, the ways to obtain the return or the maximum approximation to the state of the things before its occurrenc
A influência da configuração geopolítica das relações internacionais para ação dos atores não estatais no ciberespaço a partir de 2015
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Sócio-Econômico, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Relações Internacionais, Florianópolis, 2024.A partir das discussões da pré-candidatura de elegíveis a presidente dos Estados Unidos em 2015 e a repercussão do papel dos hackers e da disseminação de informações falsas pela internet esta pesquisa busca compreender a influência da geopolítica sobre o comportamento e a atuação de atores não estatais no ciberespaço. Para isso, foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico para elucidar os principais conceitos sobre o espaço cibernético, assim como das duas teorias utilizadas para analisar o texto e a prática geopolítica no espaço em discussão na dissertação. O poder e a identidade são conceitos essenciais para o entendimento da maneira como diferentes atores utilizam da esfera virtual para tornar-se proeminente e por isso são elementos centrais da teoria construtivista e da teoria realista para analisar a construção da política internacional e as relações entre interação e interesses dos Estados em termos de poder. A ação dos Estados nos últimos dez anos pressiona a sociedade de maneira geral, incluindo a interação dos atores não estatais. Assim, como resultado do comportamento estatal, há movimentações conflituosas em termos geopolítico, e as ações dos atores não estatais passam a se moldar de acordo com os acontecimentos que estão ligados aos seus objetivos e lutas. No caso dos hackers, patrocinados ou não por atores estatais, o Estado continua sendo o centro de suas ações e, por esse motivo, a teoria realista expõe um ponto de vista melhor sobre o ciberespaço e a segurança cibernética.Abstract: This research seeks to understand the influence of geopolitics on the behavior and actions of non-state actors in cyberspace, based on discussions of the pre-candidacy of eligible candidates for president of the United States in 2015 and the repercussions of the role of hackers and the dissemination of false information on the internet. To this end, a bibliographical survey was carried out to elucidate the main concepts about cyberspace, as well as the two theories used to analyze the geopolitical text and practice in the space under discussion in the dissertation. Power and identity are essential concepts for understanding how different actors use the virtual sphere to become prominent and are therefore central elements of constructivist theory and realist theory for analyzing the construction of international politics and the relationship between the interaction and interests of states in terms of power. State action over the last ten years has put pressure on society in general, including the interaction of nonstate actors. Thus, because of state behavior, there are conflicting movements in geopolitical terms, and the actions of non-state actors begin to shape themselves according to events that are linked to their objectives and struggles. In the case of hackers, whether they are sponsored by state actors, the state remains at the center of their actions, and, for this reason, realist theory provides a better view of cyberspace and cybersecurity
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
