Construction of a model for embroidery design
No full textEsta pesquisa foi delineada para a construção de um modelo para design de bordados. A constituição desse modelo se sustenta na base epistemológica da design science, que é a ciência do artificial ou ciência do projeto. Adota a pesquisa bibliográfica como estratégia para o levantamento do estado da arte, concentrando suas abordagens em assuntos como história, materiais, ferramentas, técnicas e processos. Realiza uma pesquisa documental que levanta evidências em registros do passado sobre a associação dos fundamentos do Design na criação de bordados. Utiliza todas essas informações do aporte teórico como subsídios para a construção do modelo. Além disso, executa um experimento em laboratório para verificar a viabilidade de funcionamento do mesmo e valida o modelo, mediante uma consulta com opiniões de especialistas no assunto. Como resultado final, apresenta um modelo para design de bordados, concebido com o auxílio de teorias e conceitos do campo do Design, capaz de ser aplicado para diferentes realidades.This research was designed to build a model for embroidery design. The constitution of this model is based on the epistemological basis of design science, which is the science of the artificial or project science. It adopts bibliographical research as a strategy for surveying the state of the art, focusing its approaches on subjects such as history, materials, tools, techniques and processes. Conducts a documentary research that raises evidence in past records about the association of the fundamentals of Design in the creation of embroidery. Use all this information from the theoretical contribution as subsidies for the construction of the model. In addition, it performs an experiment in the laboratory to verify the viability of its operation and it validates the model, through consultation with the opinions of specialists in the subject. As a final result, it presents a model for embroidery design, conceived with the help of theories and concepts from the field of Design, capable of beingapplied to different realities
O desenho técnico do vestuário sob a ótica do modelista
Full text linkThe proposal in this research is to verify the validity of principles and bases concerned with the technical drawing of clothes among the professionals of the patternmaking area from higher education and clothing industries. The corpus of this study consists of professionals who work as professors and modelists in the cities of Londrina and Maringá, North of Paraná. This is a qualitative research with an exploratory character, describing the subjects’opinions. It presents the findings inductively, crossing and comparing data simultaneously from the two groups. As a further step, this study raises the main issued to be discussed according to the variables pointed out and, finally, it brings meaningful conclusions to this investigation.A presente pesquisa tem como proposta verificar a validade dos princípios e fundamentos existentes na construção do desenho técnico do vestuário junto aos profissionais da área de modelagem das instituições de ensino superior e das indústrias de confecção. O campo desse estudo é delimitado por profissionais que atuam como docentes e modelistas nas cidades de Londrina e Maringá, região Norte do Paraná, utilizando como estratégia a aplicação de uma pesquisa qualitativa e de caráter exploratório, descrevendo as opiniões dadas pelos agentes participantes. Apresenta os resultados de forma indutiva, fazendo o cruzamento dos dados e comparando-os simultaneamente entre os dois grupos entrevistados. Em seguida, levanta os principais aspectos a serem discutidos de acordo com as variáveis apontadas e, ao final traz as conclusões pertinentes para essa investigação
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
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
