Processos de interação social do setor elétrico brasileiro e da legislação ambiental: entre o mundo sistêmico e as racionalidades do mundo da vida
Get PDFThe article proposes a reflection about Brazilian Electric Sector and the environmental laws in Brazil with regard to establishment of social interaction process during the planning, the debate and theimplementation of development projects. It presents an assessment of the Brazilian Electric Sector institutional context in the nineties, time when the participation of the private capital in the Sector wasallowed. The article also presents an assessment of the environmental laws, mainly of the public participation when the Sector projects are debated. To deal with this theme, the author uses the concepts developmented by Habermas and Touraine, like instrumental action, lifeworld, system, communicative action and the construction individual process
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
O Grupo de estudos multidisciplinares da usina hidrelétrica de Salto Caxias : uma avaliaçao institucional do setor elétrico brasileiro e da legislaçao ambiental no Brasil
Get PDFOrientador : Dimas FlorianiDissertaçao (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciencias Humanas, Letras e ArtesResumo: O presente trabalho propõe uma reflexão sobre o Setor Elétrico brasileiro e a legislação ambiental no Brasil com relação ao estabelecimento e funcionamento de processos de interação social quando da implementação de projetos de desenvolvimento. A integração dos agentes sociais intervenientes nos projetos de desenvolvimento, como usinas hidrelétricas, por exemplo, é um aspecto de difícil resolução, haja vista que requer o reconhecimento mútuo sobre a importância dos interesses manifestados e sobre a legitimidade de ação dos participantes da interação. Para refletir sobre o tema, utilizaram-se principalmente conceitos teóricos de HABERMAS e TOURAINE, que abordam a questão da racionalidade técnica instrumental, o mundo da vida è o processo de formação do indivíduo (subjetivação). O contexto histórico comporta as décadas de 1980 e 1990, quando a legislação ambiental foi aperfeiçoada para regulamentar o processo de licenciamento ambiental e o Setor Elétrico brasileiro desenvolveu uma importante discussão acerca da necessidade de fortalecer os vínculos com o restante da sociedade, notadamente com os agentes sociais historicamente antagônicos. Por fim, a discussão sobre processos de interação social ganha materialidade com a experiência do Grupo de Estudos Multidisciplinares da Usina Hidrelétrica de Salto Caxias/ GEM-CX (PR), um espaço de discussão e deliberação coletiva que agregou aproximadamente 140 instituições e que definiu o formato e a forma de implementação dos 26 programas ambientais desse projeto hidrelétrico. Sobre o GEM-CX é realizada uma avaliação institucional, identificando as possibilidades de ação dos participantes tendo como norte a problematização do mundo da vida da população diretamente atingida pela Usina Hidrelétrica de Salto Caxias e o desenvolvimento do processo de subjetivação, ou seja, da afirmação do indivíduo frente ao mundo sistêmico.Abstract: The text proposes a reflection about Brazilian Electric Sector and the environmental legislation in Brazil with regard to establishment of social interaction process during the implementation of development projects. The interaction among the social agents who works in development projects, like hydroelectric power plants, is a difficult aspect to resolve, because it request a mutual recognize of the importance of de interests exhibited and about the legitimate action of the participants in the interaction. To discourse about this theme, the author use the concepts developments by HABERMAS and TOURAINE, like rational action, vital word and the construction individual process. The historic context happened in 80's and 90's, when the legislation was incremented to regulate the environmental licensing process and the Electric Sector carried out an important discussion about the necessity of approximating with the rest of the society, mainly the population who is directly affect by the projects. Finally, the discussion goes to the Grupo de Estudos Multidisciplinares da Usina Hidrelétrica de Salto Caxias/ GEM-CX, a collective discussion and deliberation space, where the 26 environmental projects of Salto Caxias HPP were the main point to be defined. GEM-CX was evaluated in its institutional level, with the objective to show the possibilities of action that the participants had in the direction of the vital world and the development of the individual construction process, or the individual affirmation in opposite of the systemic world
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
