Sua atuação é no estudo dos partidos políticos brasileiros, com ênfase em investigações eleitorais e, principalmente, em seus contatos com grupos de interesse. O Professor Tiago Borges tem publicado sobre o enfrentamento à Covid19 em Santa Catarina no projeto especial do Jornal Nexo e da ABCP "Os governos estaduais e as ações de enfrentamento à pandemia no Brasil" (NEXO, 2020). O convidamos para uma conversa sobre os impactos políticos do coronavírus no país e no mundo, bem como sobre os temas que a pandemia faz submergir para as ciências sociais e a ciência política em especial.
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
Avaliação dos aspectos culturais, psicológicos e sociais que interferem no comportamento de risco de jovens homossexuais em relação ao HIV/AIDS.
Get PDFNos últimos 12 anos houve um aumento considerável de notificações de casos de AIDS na categoria de homens que fazem sexo com homens, especialmente entre os que se encontram na faixa etária dos 15 aos 24 anos, segundo dados do Ministério da Saúde. O presente estudo procura avaliar os aspectos culturais, psicológicos e sociais que interferem no comportamento de risco entre jovens homossexuais de 18 a 24 anos. A proposta teórico-metodológica escolhida para o estudo foi a abordagem qualitativa, justificada pela complexidade do objeto e suas peculiaridades imbricadas, tais como as relações do indivíduo e a sociedade, sua estrutura de sujeito com crenças, valores, significados, e suas relações com o processo histórico social. Foram entrevistados 10 jovens e através da triangulação do referencial teórico com os eixos que emergiram do material coletado, procuramos conhecer as representações sociais dos jovens em relação ao HIV e à sexualidade, elencar situações, práticas e condutas que consideram seguras para sua sexualidade e verificar qual o impacto das políticas de prevenção nesses jovens. Os resultados mostram que todos os sujeitos se sentem vulneráveis ao HIV e apontam que o modo de vida e a subjetividade do homossexual nesta faixa etária seria um dos fatores que interfere no comportamento de risco. Sobre as campanhas de prevenção relatam que podem ter um papel de alerta, mas não decisivo, uma vez que a conscientização de fato só ocorre quando há contato com a doença de forma concreta, seja após um comportamento de risco ou através de pessoas próximas que se contaminaram.In the last 12 years there has been a considerable increase in notifications of AIDS cases in the category of men who have sex with men, especially among those who are in the age group 15 to 24 years, according to data from the Ministry of Health. This study seeks to evaluate the cultural, psychological and social factors that affect the risk behavior among young gay people between 18 and 24 years old. The theoretical and methodological proposal chosen for the study was a qualitative approach, justified by the complexity of the object and its peculiarities intertwined, such as the relationship between the individual and society, the structure of the subject with beliefs, values, meanings, and how they relate with the social history process. We interviewed 10 youngsters and by triangulating the theoretical framework that emerged with the axes of the material collected, we understand the social representations of young people in relation to HIV and sexuality, to list situations, practices and behaviors they consider safe for their sexuality and find what the impact of policies to prevent these young people is. The results show that all individuals feel vulnerable to HIV and point out that the way of life and subjectivity of gays in this age group would be one of the factors that affects the risk behavior. About the prevention campaigns, it has been reported that they may have a role in warning, but not decisively, since awareness actually only occurs when there is contact with the disease in a concrete way, either after a risky behavior or through close people who have been contaminated
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
