Variations on the Author
No full text“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
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
Análise da compatibilização de projetos em um edifício residencial e comercial e o estudo da viabilidade do uso da Metodologia BIM
No full textArtigo apresentado ao Curso de Graduação em Engenharia Civil da UNICESUMAR – Centro Universitário de Maringá como requisito parcial para a obtenção do título de Bacharela em Engenharia Civil, sob a orientação do Prof. Me. Ronan Yuzo Takeda Violin.Nos dias atuais tem-se criado cada vez mais tecnologias inovadoras na construção civil, devido à necessidade de construir mais rapidamente, com qualidade, eficiência, menor geração de resíduos e custo. Uma das principais etapas de uma obra é a realização dos projetos (arquitetônico e complementares), que devem ser desempenhados de forma correta, para que não sejam causadores de erros futuros, assim, sua análise deve ser minuciosa e de grande importância. Por meio de uma obra localizada na cidade de Maringá foi possível realizar esta pesquisa fazendo-se uso de check-list nos projetos já finalizados, a fim de demonstrar a compatibilização de projetos como exemplo para visualizar interferências, podendo expor melhor as falhas mais frequentes no momento da união dos projetos. Através de bibliografias foi possível estudar as vantagens da metodologia BIM e analisar o seu uso diante da obra mencionada. O BIM (Biulding information model) possui como uma das suas ferramentas a leitura das incompatibilidades entre projetos, tornando mais ágil para o projetista a realização desta compatibilização, porém, observou-se que mesmo em meio as suas vantagens o uso do BIM torna-se inviável devido às dificuldades de implantação dentro da empresa, seu alto custo inicial e falta de profissionais especializados
Análise das cargas móveis sobre a Ponte Rodoviária do Rio Bandeirante do Norte à luz da norma NBR 7188/2013
No full textArtigo apresentado ao Curso de Graduação em Engenharia Civil da UNICESUMAR – Centro Universitário de Maringá como requisito parcial para a obtenção do título de Bacharel em Engenharia Civil, sob a orientação do Prof. Me. Ronan Yuzo Takeda ViolinO presente trabalho apresenta uma análise do comportamento da ponte sobre o Rio Bandeirante do Norte, submetida à carga atual estabelecida na última revisão da NBR 7188 em 2013. O trabalho foi desenvolvido, reproduzindo o projeto da ponte
existente com o carregamento proposto pela norma. Com o auxilio de programas computacionais foi possível realizar a simulação do deslocamento das cargas móveis ao longo da estrutura e observar a modificação nos diagramas, bem como
obter as respectivas áreas de aço necessárias para suportar o carregamento. Os resultados foram tabelados e o comparativo dessas armaduras indicou os elementos estruturais que estão com área de aço insuficiente. Esse comparativo serve de
parâmetro para identificar e propor um reforço estrutural para garantir segurança e bom desempenho da ponte
Systematic review of the impact of emissions from aviation on current and future climate
No full textAviation emissions have an impact on the global climate, and this is consequently an active area of research worldwide. By adapting replicable and transparent systematic review methods from the field of evidence-based medicine, we aim to synthesise available data on the effects of aviation emissions on climate. From these data, we aim to calculate lower and upper bounds for estimates of the effect of aviation on climate in an objective manner.For the systematic review an appropriate protocol was developed and applied by two independent reviewers, to identify research that met the inclusion criteria. These included all aviation types, original research studies, climate models with aviation as a specific component, with outcomes for emissions, radiative forcing, global warming potential and/or surface temperature changes. These studies were prioritised and data extracted using a standard process. The 35 studies reviewed here reported radiative forcing, global warming potential and/or temperature changes as outcomes, allowing direct comparisons to be made.Tabulated results and a narrative commentary were provided for overall effects on climate, and the individual effects of carbon dioxide, water, contrails, cirrus clouds, ozone, nitrogen oxides, methane, soot and sulphur oxides. Lower and upper bounds for these effects, and their relative contributions compared to overall radiative forcing and surface temperature changes, have been described.This review shows that the most recent estimates for the contribution of aviation to global climate are highly dependent on the level of scientific understanding and modelling, and predicted scenarios for social and economic growth. Estimates for the future contribution of aviation to global radiative forcing in 2015 range from 5.31% to 8.04%. For 2050 the estimates have a wider spread, from 2.12% to 17.33%, the latter being for the most extreme technology and growth scenario. These global estimates should be considered within the context of uncertainties in accounting for the direct and indirect effects of different contributions. Variations between lower and upper bounds for estimates of radiative forcing are relatively low for carbon dioxide, around 131% to 800% for cirrus clouds effects, and 1044% for soot. Advances in climate research, particularly in the area of contrail and cloud effects, has led to some revision of the 1999 IPCC estimates1, and demonstrates that the research community is actively working to further understand the underlying science.The approaches assumptions, limitations and future work were discussed in detail. We have demonstrated how the systematic review methodology can be applied to climate science, in a replicable and transparent manner
