Bancos brasileiros: análise de discurso além do mainstream
Get PDFThis article analyzes Brazilian banks from the perspectives of narrative defenders from the current model and of those who defend deep and structural changes, based on the premise of the article by Wanderbroock (2018) who studied the Statements of Added Value - DVA, with the finality of making public the social responsibility of organizations, which was made into a mandatory Law 11,638/2007 where companies are accountable to society. This study analyzed the convergences and divergences in the distribution of value in the 500 largest companies listed on the BM&FBOVESPA, separating them into two groups, production companies, and banks. The comparison showed that there are significant convergences between companies of the same groups/sectors and significant divergences between the productive sectors and the banks, where it was found that companies in the financial sector are the ones that most concentrate wealth, that is, they distribute more wealth to shareholders than companies in the productive sector. This article is a descriptive-qualitative research with discourse analysis, presenting the different views about Brazilian banks.O objetivo deste artigo foi analisar os bancos brasileiros sob as perspectivas das narrativas dos defensores do modelo atual vigente e dos que defendem mudanças profundas e estruturais, partindo da premissa do artigo de Wanderbroock (2018) que estudou as Demonstrações de Valor Adicionado – DVA, tendo esta, a finalidade de tornar pública a responsabilidade social das organizações, passando ser obrigatória pela Lei 11.638/2007, em que as empresas prestam contas à sociedade. Tal estudo analisou as convergências e divergências na distribuição de valor nas 500 maiores empresas listadas na BM&FBOVESPA, segregando-as em dois grupos, empresas produtivas e bancos. Na comparação, ficou demostrada que há significativas convergências entre empresas de mesmos grupos/setores e divergências significativas dos setores produtivos em relação aos bancos, e verificou-se que as empresas do setor financeiro são as que mais concentram riquezas, ou seja, distribuem mais riquezas aos acionistas que as empresas do setor produtivo. Trata-se de pesquisa e descritiva, qualitativa com análise de discurso, apresentando as diversas visões acerca dos bancos brasileiros
Gestão de investimentos na cadeia produtiva do algodão : um estudo a partir da Cooperativa Agropecuária Uniao Ltda.- COAGRU
Get PDFOrientador: Antônio Barbosa Lemes JúniorDissertaçao (mestrado)- Universidade Federal do Paraná. Setor de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas. Curso de Mestrado em AdministraçãoResumo: O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar as estratégias financeiras dos gestores em face de redução regional da produção, que ocorreu com os produtos derivados do algodão nos últimos anos. O método que caracteriza esta pesquisa é a análise comparativa entre os vários elos da cadeia produtiva do algodão. Os dados foram obtidos a partir de questionários e entrevistas semi-estruturadas. Os elos, empresas que fazem parte da cadeia produtiva do algodão, têm à montante a produção agrícola, denominada cotonicultura, e à jusante as indústrias de confecção. O elo de referência, considerado na pesquisa, foi a Cooperativa Agropecuária União, COAGRU, que atua na recepção de algodão em caroço (in natura) e no beneficiamento de pluma. A partir deste elo, retrocedemos na cadeia em direção à montante, entrevistando produtores agrícolas de algodão que são fornecedores da COAGRU. Em direção à jusante, foram feitas entrevistas com gestores da indústria de fiação e foram enviados questionários para empresas clientes dos elos antecessores. Foi definida a tabulação de, no mínimo, um representante de cada elo da cadeia. Os dados permitiram concluir que à medida que as organizações estão situadas nos elos mais próximos à jusante, estas dão menos importância ao fortalecimento da cadeia produtiva do algodão e que as estratégias de investimentos são menos voltadas aos aspectos econômicos e mais voltadas aos aspectos sociais quando analisadas as organizações em direção à montante, a partir do centro de gravidade definido por Galbraith.Abstract: The aim of this research is to analyze the financial strategies of the managers in view of the regional reduction of production that occurred with derivated cotton products in the last years. The method that characterizes this research is the comparative analyze obtained between the various links of the cotton chain production. The data were obtained by semi-structured questionnaires and interviews. The links, enterprises that put aside the cotton chain production, have got the upstream the agricultural production named cotton mill and downstream the industries of cotton confection. The refencial link, considered in this research, was Cooperativa Agropecuária União, COAGRU, that actuates in the reception of the stone cotton (in natura) and in the improvement of feather. Through this link, we recede in the upstream chain, interviewing cotton agricultural producers that are COAGRU suppliers. Downstream, interviews were done with the spinning industries managers and we sent questionnaires to enterprises that were clients of the predecessor's links. It was defined a table containing, at least, one commission merchant by each chain link. The data allowed to conclude that the enterprises are situated in the upstream links that give less importance to the strengthening of the cotton production and the investment strategies are turned back less to the economical aspects and the social aspects in the downstream enterprises according to the central gravity defined by Galbraith. Key-works: links, cotton, chain production, upstream, downstream, central gravity
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
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
