Uberlândia citizens' perception of public open spaces
No full textPublic open spaces are important areas for the development of the urban context since these spaces can generate quality of life for the population. However, to achieve this goal, they must be well planned and structured so that people can have positive and pleasant experiences when visiting these places In this sense, in order to understand whether the residents of Uberlândia are really having this experience, this study had as its main objective to investigate whether the elements that make up the municipal parks of Uberlândia, such as infrastructure, location, activities and uses, allow the diagnosis of the capacity to promote quality of life associated with the functions of this category of Public Free Spaces. To achieve this goal, it was necessary to carry out several methodological procedures that were structured into a few stages: the development and application of an online questionnaire, the adapted formulation of a Likert scale from 1 to 5, the simple and weighted arithmetic averages, the categorization of emotional data, and finally, the creation of emotional maps. Thus, through an overview, the results indicated that the municipal parks are able to generate positive affective bonds in the population, with Sabiá Park having the best perceptions, while the Uberabinha River Linear Park had the lowest. Despite these positive responses, the results indicate that the elements present in the park (infrastructure, localization, activities and uses) could be improved to achieve even higher rates. In addition, it was found that the city's residents see these spaces as having the main leisure function, with only the exception of the Victório Siquierolli Municipal Park, which was perceived as having the primary ecological function. This shows that, for the most part, the residents of Uberlândia associate these spaces as places for recreational activities, aimed at rest and entertainment. In this sense, it is understood that the emotional results obtained in this research can contribute to informing managers and the population.CNPq - Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e TecnológicoDissertação (Mestrado)Os espaços livres públicos são importantes áreas para o desenvolvimento do contexto urbano, visto que esses espaços são capazes de gerar qualidade de vida para a população. Contudo, para alcançar esse objetivo, devem ser bem planejados e estruturados para que as pessoas possam ter experiências positivas e agradáveis ao visitarem esses locais. Neste sentido, para compreender se os residentes de Uberlândia estão realmente tendo essa vivência, esse estudo teve como o principal objetivo investigar se os elementos que compõem os parques municipais de Uberlândia, como infraestrutura, localização, atividades e usos, permite o diagnóstico da capacidade de promoção de qualidade de vida associada às funções desta categoria de Espaços Livres Públicos. Para alcançar esse propósito foi necessária a realização de alguns procedimentos metodológicos que se estruturam em algumas etapas, sendo elas, o desenvolvimento e aplicação de um questionário online, a formulação adaptada da escala de Likert de 1 a 5, a realização das médias aritméticas simples e ponderadas, a categorização dos dados emocionais, e por fim, a elaboração de mapas emocionais. Deste modo, através de uma visualização geral, os resultados indicaram que os quatros parques municipais analisados estão sendo capazes de gerar vínculos afetivos positivos na população, sendo que o Parque do Sabiá apresentou as melhores percepções, enquanto o Linear do Rio Uberabinha obteve a menor. Apesar dessas respostas positivas, os resultados apontam que os elementos presentes no parque (infraestrutura, localização, atividades e usos) podem ser aprimorados para atingir índices ainda maiores. Além disso, foi constado que os residentes da cidade observam esses espaços como a principal função de lazer, havendo somente a exceção do Parque Municipal Victório Siquierolli que foi percebido como sua função primária, a ecológica. Isso demonstra que, em sua grande maioria, os moradores de Uberlândia associam esses espaços como locais para realizar atividades recreativas, que visam o descanso e o entretenimento. Neste sentido, entende-se que os resultados emocionais obtidos nessa pesquisa, podem contribuir para a informação dos gestores e à população.2026-02-2
As exportações de calçados produzidos no município de Franca-SP dos anos de 2007 a 2020 sob uma perspectiva conjunta das Geotecnologias
Get PDFExports, in general, are one of the most important factors for the growth of a country, as with this trade it is possible to generate economic development between international territories. In this way, the city of Franca-SP contributes to the international market through its production and sales of shoes. Thus, the storage of data related to footwear exports end up being essential to obtain an analysis of negotiations with the international market. In this bias, the main objective of this research proposes the use of geotechnologies as a tool for the systematization of data regarding the exports of shoes produced in the city of Franca-SP, that is, in a temporal space from 2007 to 2020. It is noteworthy, that the francano shoe production is of importance to the city, and thanks to the development in this area the city can keep its economy operating and stable. To achieve the objective of this research, the methodology consisted of a bibliographic survey, data collection, data tabulation, information analysis, preparation of maps, tables and graphs about the worked theme and, finally, a final dissertation of the work. In the results of this research, it was highlighted that Franca exports shoes to all continents of the world, thus earning millions of dollars a year. However, when analyzing the data obtained, it is noted that the main focus of sales in the municipality is aimed at the national market, as the pairs sold in Brazil are considerably larger than those supplied to the international market. However, it is noteworthy that both are of significance for the francano territory, as they are responsible for the continuous promotion of the development of the footwear sector. Finally, it was observed that geotechnologies were of paramount importance for this work, as they contributed to the systematization of various information contained in this research.FMB - Fundação Manoel de BarrosTrabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação)A exportação de maneira geral, é um dos fatores mais importantes para o crescimento de um país, pois com esse comércio é possível gerar desenvolvimento econômico entre territórios internacionais. Deste modo, o município de Franca-SP contribui no mercado exterior através de suas produções e vendas de calçados. Deste modo, o armazenamento de dados relacionados as exportações de calçados, acabam sendo fundamentais para se obter uma análise das negociações com o mercado exterior. Neste viés, o objetivo central desta pesquisa propõe à utilização das geotecnologias como ferramenta para a sistematização de dados referentes as exportações de calçados produzidos no município de Franca-SP, isto é, em um espaço temporal de 2007 a 2020. Vale ressaltar, que a produção de sapatos francanos são de importância para o município, sendo que graças ao desenvolvimento nesta área a cidade pode manter sua economia operante e estável. Para alcançar o objetivo desta pesquisa, a metodologia consistiu em levantamento bibliográfico, coleta de dados, tabulação de dados, análise das informações, elaboração de mapas, tabelas e gráficos acerca da temática trabalhada e por fim dissertação final do trabalho. Nos resultados desta pesquisa, destacou-se que Franca exporta seu calçado a todos os continentes do mundo, assim faturando milhões de dólares por ano. Contudo, ao analisar os dados obtidos, nota-se que o principal foco de venda do município é destinado ao mercado nacional, visto que os pares vendidos no Brasil, são consideravelmente maiores do que os fornecidos para o mercado externo. Entretanto, salienta-se que ambos são de significância para o território francano, pois são responsáveis pela contínua fomentação do desenvolvimento do setor calçadista. Por fim, observou-se que as geotecnologias foram de suma importância para a realização deste trabalho, pois contribuiu na sistematização de diversas informações contidas nesta pesquisa
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
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
