    The objective of this paper is to discuss the convergence of two basic rights – to consumers protection and to education – which aim to implement others, namelly freedom of choice of the consumer and the rights to contractual equality as well as environment protection. The article proposes the formulation of a formal education to consumption public policy taking into account countless daily social, political and economic facts that distorts consumers rational choice as commercial practices of consumers recruitment, economic policies of consumption stimulation and a educational policy unconcerned with the development of citizens power of reflection and critical judgement. The final part of the text aims at defining the institutional competence to develop that curricula as well as the legal framework for its implementation.este artículo se basó en fundir dos derechos fundamentales -la defensa del consumidor y el derecho a la educación-, a fin de concretar la protección de otros dos bienes jurídicos, que son: la libertad de elección del consumidor y la igualdad en las contrataciones, así como como la protección del medio ambiente. Se propuso a continuación la elaboración de una política pública de educación formal para el consumo, teniendo en cuenta innumerables hechos sociales, políticos y económicos que se verifican en el día a día y que distorsionan la racionalidad del consumidor, como las prácticas comerciales de recaudación de consumidores, las políticas económicas de incentivo al consumo y la política educativa despreocupada con el desarrollo del poder de reflexión y juicio crítico del ciudadano. Se pretendió, al final, definir la competencia institucional para la elaboración de esa disciplina curricular, así como el formato jurídico-político para su concreciónBuscou-se, neste artigo, fundir dois direitos fundamentais – a defesa do consumidor e o direito a educação –, a fim concretizar a proteção de dois outros bens jurídicos, quais sejam: a liberdade de escolha do consumidor e a igualdade nas contratações, bem como a proteção ao meio ambiente. Propôs-se, em seguida, a elaboração de uma política pública de educação formal para o consumo, levando-se em consideração inúmeros fatos sociais, políticos e econômicos que se verificam no dia-a-dia e que distorcem a racionalidade do consumidor, como as práticas comerciais de angariamento de consumidores, as políticas econômicas de incentivo ao consumo e a política educacional despreocupada com o desenvolvimento do poder de reflexão e juízo crítico do cidadão. Objetivou-se, ao final, definir a competência institucional para a elaboração dessa disciplina curricular, bem como o formato jurídico-político para sua concretizaçã

    DOI: 10.12957/rqi.2018.32888O presente artigo destina-se ao estudo das etapas do processo de elaboração, implementação e execução da política pública de cotas sociais para o ingresso dos estudantes oriundos das escolas públicas nas universidades públicas. O artigo abordará os prognósticos e possíveis soluções em cada uma das etapas do seu processo de criação, culminando com a verificação da (in)eficiência do programa de reserva de vagas, especialmente, quanto ao problema da “trajetória inversa” dos estudantes das escolas públicas. O método de abordagem é o hipotético dedutivo, por meio da argumentação e do raciocínio jurídico e político, visando a responder à questão relativa à eficiência ou ineficiência do programa. Palavras-chaves: Políticas públicas; Cotas sociais; Ensino superior público; Igualdade.AbstractThis articles aims at studying the stages of the process of drafting, implementing and executing the public policy of social quotas for public school students in order to guarantee access to federal and state universities. The paper will deal with the prognosis and possible solutions of each of the stages of its drafting procedure, finalizing with the evaluation of the (in)efficiency of the guarantee of spots, especially in what concerns the problem of ‘reverse trajectories’ of public school students. The method of research to be used is the hypothetical-deductive, thru argumentation and political and legal reasoning, aiming at answering the question of the efficiency or inefficiency of the program.  Keywords: Public policy; Social quotas; Public higher education; Equality

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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 text
    We 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
