Full textAbstract:
The author starts by revising the concept of public service, highlighting the idea of publicatio as an important element. With this taken into consideration, he points out that it is not possible to understand the concept of public service without the presence of ownership by the State. In this context, the concept of essential service arises as a technique that harmonizes social demands and the traditional conception of public service. All in all, these concepts are materialized to affirm that the nature of the service of drinking water and sanitation is of essential service, developing and applying its principles to the concrete case.El autor parte por una revisión del concepto objetivo de servicio público, destacando como un elemento importante de este la idea de publicatio. A partir de ello, señala que no es posible entender el concepto de servicio público sin la presencia de la titularidad por parte del Estado. En este contexto, surge el concepto de servicio esencial como una técnica que armoniza las exigencias sociales y la concepción tradicional de servicio público. Finalmente, aterriza dichos conceptos para afirmar que la naturaleza del servicio de provisión de agua potable y saneamiento es de servicio esencial, desarrollando y aplicando sus principios al caso concreto.

Full textAbstract:
In commenting on the work of Kelly, Bannister and Fransella (1980: 53) note that research may be defined as the process whereby people try to make sense of things. In order to achieve this, the importance of working with rather than on subjects is stressed as is the need for researchers to explicitly state, as far as they are able, the constructs within which they believe themselves to be working. Cohen et al note that critical theory and critical educational research have a substantive agenda: for example, examining and interrogating: the relationships between school and society - how schools perpetuate or reduce inequality; the social construction of knowledge and curricula, who defines worthwhile knowledge, what ideological interests this serves, how power is produced and reproduced through education. (2007: 27) Underlying both of these assertions is the implication that in order effectively to look outwards, the researcher must be prepared to look inwards; in order to move forwards, one must critically assess the past. Such a project requires critical thinking, that is, thinking that embodies the attributes of `quality' thinking based on a sound knowledge of context and resulting in reasoned judgements regarding what to believe and how to act. (Bailin 1998: 145)

Recentemente, diversas iniciativas surgiram com intuito de fortalecer a transparência da administração pública por meio da publicação de dados na Web, conhecida por Dados Abertos Governamentais. Esse tipo de iniciativa permite que os cidadãos permaneçam informados sobre a gestão do governo, permitindo acompanhar a administração pública, de modo a contribuir com o aumento do poder de fiscalização do cidadão. A publicação de Dados Abertos é geralmente realizada por meio de sistemas para catalogação de dados, tais como: a Plataforma Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network (CKAN). Além dos catálogos de dados, as Application Programming Interface (APIs) e Web services também podem ser utilizados para facilitar o acesso aos dados. Apesar do grande número de iniciativas que visam fornecer dados na Web, ainda não há um consenso sobre a melhor maneira de cumprir esta tarefa. No entanto, independentemente da estratégia escolhida, é importante que os processos utilizados para publicar dados na Web e manutenção destes dados se realizem de forma automática e de modo que cada uma das suas atividades possam ser reproduzidas quando for necessário. Neste contexto, este trabalho propõe uma abordagem Restful API, com base em um conjunto de Web services para facilitar a publicação e o consumo de dados abertos.
Recently, several initiatives have emerged with the aim of strengthening the transparency of public administration by publishing data on the Web, known as Government Open Data. This type of initiative allows citizens to remain informed about the government’s management, allowing monitoring the public administration in order to contribute to the increase of citizen oversight power. Data Open Publication is generally carried out by means of systems for cataloging data such as: a Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network Platform (CKAN). In addition to the data catalogs, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and Web services can also be used to facilitate access to the data. Despite the large number of initiatives aimed at providing data on the Web, there is still no consensus on the best way to accomplish this task. However, regardless of the chosen strategy, it is important that the processes used to publish data to the web and maintenance of these data are carried out automatically and so that each of its activities can be reproduced when necessary. In this context, this paper proposes a Restful API approach, based on a set of Web services to facilitate the publication and consumption of open data.

A pesquisa tem por objeto de estudo da produção científica de professores doutores de universidades brasileiras disponível em plataformas online de publicação independente. Considera que a publicação independente consiste na publicação de qualquer livro ou recurso multimídia pelo autor da obra, sem a intervenção de um terceiro estabelecido como editor. Verifica as plataformas brasileiras de publicação online, identifica os professores doutores que publicaram livros científicos nos últimos 10 anos nessas plataformas e analisa características dessa produção. Adota como estratégia metodológica um recorte, utilizando como universo empírico os professores doutores brasileiros cadastrados em cinco plataformas de publicação brasileiras. Mapeia as plataformas (nacionais e estrangeiras), os autores, os livros produzidos e as características editoriais das obras. Encontra no universo das plataformas nacionais, 43 professores doutores de universidades brasileiras com publicações nessas plataformas. Emprega o survey para operacionalizar a pesquisa de campo e utiliza como instrumento de coleta de dados adotado o questionário. Atesta que os autores acadêmicos de todas as áreas estão publicando em plataformas online. Demonstra que amaioria dos autores (75%) ficou muito satisfeito com a publicação de seu trabalho nas plataformas online. Infere que, de modo geral, os pesquisadores estão satisfeitos com o processo em si. Conclui que a publicação independente nas plataformas é vista como vantajosa pelos pesquisados. Aponta como desvantagens o marketing deficiente e a comercialização.

The aim of the research is to study the scientific production of the brazilian university doctorate professors available on independent publishing platforms. The independent publication consists of the publication of any book or multimedia resource by the author without the intervention of a third party established as an editor. The specific objectives are: identify the Brazilian publishing platforms, identify the professors who have published scientific books in the last 10 years in these platforms and to verify the characteristics of this production. As a methodological strategy, a sample was adopted, using as empirical universe the Brazilian doctorate teachers enrolled in five Brazilian publishing platforms. To meet the proposed objectives, the research mapped the platforms (national and foreign), the authors, the books produced and the editorial features of the works. In the universe of national platforms, 43 professors from Brazilian universities were found. In relation of methodology, the technique used is the survey and the instrument of data collection adopted is the questionnaire. As a conclusion it is stated that academic authors from all areas are publishing on online platforms. The research demonstrated that most authors (75%) were very pleased with the publication of their work on the online platforms. And they are generally satisfied with the process itself. In the academic environment where publishing speed is paramount for the advancement of science, independent publishing on the platforms brings the resolution of this problem because it was pointed out as the greatest advantage by the respondents. Disadvantages were limited promotion and market.

Abstract: The publication of research results based on the textual document has been considered since the 17th century as the primary means of scientific communication. The arrival in Science of the paradigm based on data and the Open Science movement initiates the demand for publication of other research assets/assets of different nature. We contrast the need for new ways and approaches to the publication of assets to have an adequate description to ensure the findability, access, reuse and reproducibility. One of the avenues for this publication is the expanded scientific publication. Based on the tools provided by the quadripolar method, this research analyses the epistemological, theoretical and technical transformations of the scientific communication process. The main aim is to formalize a model for enhanced publications, which considers the semiotic aspects derived from the hybridization of languages in this type of publication and the relationships between the different entities that comprise the publication. The analysis starts from the conceptualization of enhanced publications as semiotic spaces of homogeneous and heterogeneous topography, due to their composition by objects of different nature. A mapping of different publication environments is performed to extract the entities that can compose an enhanced publication. These entities, together with the executable dimension that represents and establishes the creation process and logic between the entities, form the basis of...

Previous issue date: 2006-03-07This study describes the methodology for the publication of a scientific journal on the Internet using the SciELO Library standard. In order to include the journal on the internet a few editing, diagramming and image formatting software are required, in addition to an internet database. In this study the Scielo Library was used. The publication of journals over the Internet allows an easy and quick search of updated articles of a large array of journals. The inclusion of scientific journals on the Internet has promoted an evolution in terms publication, thus contributing to enhance the access of investigators and readers who may in turn accelerate spreading and obtaining scientific studies information thanks to a network with worldwide access.

Full textAbstract:
This submission provides a commentary on thirteen of Richard Riddell's publications between 1999 and 2010. It explains the professional and policy contexts from the early 1990s onwards, when the author was a senior Local Authority officer, which gave rise to the thinking behind the first phase of his publications. These included the development of a bespoke school improvement process, deeply rooted in the context of the communities served by a school, and involving the development of an urban pedagogy and curricula. The centre piece of this phase was Schools for Our Cities (Riddell, 2003b). Attention then moved for phase 2 of the publications towards the social processes outside school that advantage middle class children within it. Research for this phase identified a managed model of social reproduction being operated by middle class families with children at independent schools, and an independent school/prestigious university nexus. Policy interventions of the 2000s might have begun to create analogous kinds of social processes for working class children, but they are no longer in place. The central piece for phase 2 was Aspiration, Identity and Self-Belief (Riddell, 2010).

DiVA, Academic Archive On-line, is a website which can provide the information from the most academic publications of Swedish Universities. The information includes the title, author, publication data, and so on. The aim of this project is to design a tool to visualize the co-authorship publication network and be able to transform the data into a more readable form. For parsing and visualizing data, the tool adopts the “InforVis Reference” model. Here a set of interaction and visualization technologies are adopted, so that it can create view base on user’s query with increasing the usability. In this thesis, we present a “use case” by applying our tool to visualize a part of articles published at Linnaeus University and to illustrate the capability and functions of the tool. The tool can also provide user a comfortable operating environment with a quick searching speed and high efficiency; it can be used anywhere, if internet is available.

This thesis documents the development of a web-application attacking the problem of visualization of co-authorship networks. The visualization encompasses several views.Each of them shows different aspects of the data which is loaded from Academic Archive Online (DiVa), a library system which holds all publications released in the Linnaeus University. To detect relationships among authors, a new interactive layout for Node-Link Diagrams was developed which shows publications, authors and corresponding organizations (faculties, departments) in a radial manner. This Network-View is connected to another view showing the attributes (year, type) of the publications. In development, particular emphasis was placed on a rich support of user interaction in order to equip the user with a tool that allows graphical and explorative analysis of the underlying data.

Detta examensarbete utfördes på Saab AB, Support & Service, i Tannefors, Linköping, samt vid Institutionen för datavetenskap på Linköpings universitet. Ett moment i kvalitetsarbetet för komplexa industriprodukter, som till exempel flygplan, är att skifta från tvådimensionellt konstruktionsunderlag till tredimensionellt. Tredimensionella modeller har funnits i flera år. Nackdelen med dessa modeller är att de inte kunnat bära någon extra information, förutom den information som krävs för att de ska vara uppritade. Tekniken har gått framåt och nu går det att lagra teknikinformation i modellerna samt göra simuleringar som inte gått att göra förut. I och med att teknikinformation finns i modellerna, går det även att använda denna information till de olika publikationer som skrivs. Syftet med denna studie är att analysera hur teknikinformationsflödet mellan modeller och användare kan komma att se ut vid användning av modellbaserat konstruktionsunderlag, samt att föreslå exempel på hur tekniska publikationer för Gripen NG kan komma att se ut i framtiden. När all information finns i modellen, behövs inte lika mycket personal som redigerar bilder eller skriver text. Detta kommer innebära ekonomisk vinst och efter ett tags användning, kommer det även ge en ytterligare ekonomisk vinst, eftersom användarna har lärt sig hur produkten fungerar och på så sätt blivit effektivare på att använda den än de nuvarande dokumenten.This thesis was carried out at Saab AB, Support & Service, in Tannefors, Linköping, and at the Department of Computer Science at Linköping University. One item in the quality work for complex industrial products, such as aircrafts, is to shift from two-dimensional design data to three-dimensional. Three-dimensional models have been around for years. The disadvantage of these models is that they could not carry any extra information, in addition to the information necessary for them to be plotted. The technology has moved on and now it is possible to store technical information in the models and do simulations that didn't work before. As the technical information is contained in the models, you can also use this information to the various publications that are printed. The purpose of this study is to analyze how the technical information flow between models and users, and also to propose examples of how technical publications for the Gripen NG may be in the future when using model-based design documents. Once all information is in the model, it is not needed to have as much staff employed for editing pictures or writing text. This will involve a financial gain, and after some time, it will also provide an additional financial benefit, because the users have learned how the product works and will be more efficient in using it than the current documents.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is based on a study of reproducibility issues in image processing research. We designed, created and developed a scientific journal, Image Processing On Line (IPOL), in which articles are published with a complete implementation of the algorithms described, validated by the rapporteurs. A demonstration web service is attached, allowing testing of the algorithms with freely submitted data and an archive of previous experiments. We also propose copyrights and license policy, suitable for manuscripts and research software software, and guidelines for the evaluation of software. The IPOL scientific project seems very beneficial to research in image processing. With the detailed examination of the implementations and extensive testing via the demonstration web service, we publish articles of better quality. IPOL usage shows that this journal is useful beyond the community of its authors, who are generally satisfied with their experience and appreciate the benefits in terms of understanding of the algorithms, quality of the software produced, and exposure of their works and opportunities for collaboration. With clear definitions of objects and methods, and validated implementations, complex image processing chains become possible.

As escritas íntimas passaram por diversas mudanças no decorrer da história das sociedades e também da literatura. Acompanhando as mudanças sofridas pelo sujeito e a forma como o mesmo se relaciona com o mundo, as escritas íntimas se integraram e se modificaram, associando-se, mais recentemente, às novas modalidades de comunicação e à atuação das variadas mídias, que colaboram com o delinear da conjunção entre os elementos públicos e os privados. Na literatura, essas alterações foram percebidas e aproveitadas como forma de produção. A crônica aparece como foco de análise deste trabalho, pois ganha destaque no cenário atual por ser um formato capaz de atender ao dinamismo contemporâneo e se estruturar associando a fala pessoal ao coletivo, integrando os espaços íntimos aos públicos e construindo a relação de proximidade entre autor e leitor, comum na atualidade. Como visualização dessas características, surge aqui a análise de crônicas da autora contemporânea Martha MedeirosThe intimate writings passed through several changes during the history of societies and also literature. Following the changes undergone by the individuo and how it relates to the world, written close to integrated and changed, joining more recently, the new forms of communication and the performance of various media, collaborating with the outline of the conjunction between the public and private elements. In literature, these changes were perceived and used as a means of production. The chronicle appears as an analytical focus of this work, as is highlighted in the current format to be able to mee the contemporary dynamics and structure associating the personal speech to the collective, integrating public and intimate spaces to building the close relationship between author and reader, which is common nowadays.

Scientific managers need to understand the impact of the research they support since they are required to evaluate researchers and their work for funding and promotional purposes. Yet, most of the online tools available to explore publication data, such as Google Scholar (GS), Microsoft Academic Search (MAS), and Scopus, present tabular views of publication data that fail to put scholars in a social, institutional, and geographic context. Moreover, these tools fail to provide aggregate views of the data for countries, organizations, and journals. Here, we introduce Opus, an interactive online platform that integrates, aggregates, and visualizes publication data from GS to present users with publication data at four different scales (e.g., scholars, countries, organizations, and journals). At each scale, Opus provides benchmarked visualizations that facilitate understanding the work of scholars in a social, generational, geographic, and institutional context. We conducted two user studies with a small group of potential users that show supporting evidence for the benefits of our approach. This design study contributes to the relatively unexplored but promising area of using information visualization to explore publication data.

Aims: 2005-2007 abstracts This study aimed to identify the: • number of clinical trials that were presented from 2005-2007 at the conferences of the: o American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), o European Orthodontic Society (EOS), o International Association for Dental Research (IADR), o European Organisation for Caries Research (ORCA) o Australian Society of Orthodontists Congress (ASO) • abstracts that went on to be published as a full paper in a peer reviewed journal. • time to publication for those abstracts that were subsequently published as a full paper in a peer reviewed journal. • following characteristics of the abstract and determine their influence on the rate of and time to publication: o Result significance: (Significant, Non-significant, or Unclear) o Mode of presentation (Oral or Poster) o Study design (RCT / CCT) o Sample Size: (Absolute number) o Funding disclosure: (Yes / No) o Continent of origin: (North America, South America, Europe, UK, Asia, Africa, Australasia). o Primary author: • Gender (Male / Female / Unclear) • Professional status: (Professor / Non-professor / Unclear) • Identify reasons why abstracts did not achieve publication. University Teachers Group (UTG) abstracts This study aimed to identify the: • number of abstracts presented at the University Teachers Group session, from 1999-2010, at the British Orthodontic Conference. • following characteristics of the abstract and determine their influence on rate of and time to publication: o Funding disclosure: (Yes / No) o Dental School of origin • abstracts that went on to be published as a full paper in a peer reviewed journal. Design: Retrospective, observational study. Subject and Setting: The sample frame included dental clinical trials presented at the conferences of the International Association of Dental Research (IADR), European Orthodontic Society (EOS), European Organisation for Caries Research (ORCA), The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) and The Australian Society of Orthodontists (ASO) from January 2005 to December 2007. The sample frame for the University Teachers Group (UTG) abstracts, included abstracts presented at the UTG session of the British Orthodontic Conference (BOC) 1999-2010. Sample size Spencer found a publication rate of 38% from abstracts of clinical trials presented at EOS, IADR, ORCA and a 50% increase would be give a publication rate of 57%. Using data from Spencer in Pocock’s formula, 210 abstracts would be required to give 80% power, at the 5% level, and enable me to detect a 50% rise in the proportion of clinical trial abstracts published. Method: Clinical trials presented at above conferences were identified from the associated journals or conference proceedings. Inter-examiner and intra-examiner reliability were assessed using a random 10% sample of abstracts. A MEDLINE search was undertaken to determine whether the abstract had been published in full. The date of publication was recorded. Authors of abstracts that did not reach publication were contacted to determine the reasons. Results: Seven thousand and sixty-nine abstracts presented from 2005-2007 were identified, including 215 clinical trials. 142 abstracts were identified from the UTG session from 1998 – 2008, and all were included. The publication rate for the 2005-2007 sample was 32.6% and the UTG sample 34.5%. There were no predictors of publication in either group studied. The median time to publication of the 2005 – 2007 group was 16.00 months, IQR (10, 26) and the mean time to publication for the UTG group was 18.3 months (95% CI 14.38, 22.19). For the unpublished 2005-2007 group, reasons given for failure to publish were lack of time (8.3%), language, culture, lack of teaching (1.4%), rejection (0.7%), motivation (0.7%), perceived editorial bias (0.7%) and length of review process (0.7%). For the UTG group, reasons given included lack of time (19.4%), lack of interest from SpR (9.7%) or in press (7.5%). Conclusions: No predictors of publication were found for either group studied. For the unpublished 2005-2007 group, main reasons given were lack of time (8.3%), language, culture and lack of teaching (1.4%). For the UTG group, reasons given included lack of time (19.4%), lack of interest from SpR (9.7%) or in press (7.5%). The qualitative results should be viewed with caution due to the low response rate (12.4% for the 2005 – 2007 sample, and 68.8% for UTG).

This study explored the publication pattern of Canadian computer scientists and compared the impact of conference papers and journal articles published by these researchers. It was found that conference proceedings are the preferred venue for scholarly communication, but the impact of conference papers is not comparable to that of journal articles. The potential reasons for the lower impact of conference papers are discussed, and possible approaches to improve the current scholarly communication system in computer science are proposed.

Osobjetivos específicos são: a) identificar os pesquisadores moçambicanose suas instituições de filiação; b) descrever os periódicos indexados naWoS em que publicam; c) apontar outras publicações de pesquisadoresmoçambicanos por meio da plataforma de busca Google Scholar. É umapesquisa exploratória e descritiva. O corpus é composto pelaspublicações dos autores identificados na WoS e no Google Scholar. Ototal de 1536 artigos recuperados na Web of Science com pelo menos umautor moçambicano identificou 896 autores vinculados a instituições nopaís. Os trabalhos recuperados na WoS mostram que os autores estãovinculados a 102 instituições no país, sendo a maior concentração eminstituições públicas de saúde com 286 pesquisadores com 553 artigos eas instituições públicas de ensino com 273 pesquisadores com 461artigos. As áreas do conhecimento que mais se destacam são saúde eagricultura. Os periódicos com maior número de publicações são Plosone e Malaria Journal, sendo que 44.32% do total de artigos estão emperiódicos indexados nas editoras universitárias e na editoraElsevier/Pergamon e relacionados, e são publicados nos Estados Unidose na Inglaterra. A partir dos mesmos autores, foi realizada uma buscano Google Scholar que recuperou 423 documentos dos quais 199 sãoartigos e o restante está distribuídos entre 108 teses, 72 seminários, 32relatórios, 17 livros e 4 capítulos de livros. Os trabalhos identificados noGoogle Scholar são publicados em 72 periódicos de 14 países e oseventos foram realizados em 9 países. As teses foram defendidas noBrasil, com 57 títulos, em Portugal e em Moçambique com 22 cada, e asoutras distribuídas entre Estados Unidos com 3, Itália 2, e Holanda eSuecia com 1 tese cada um. Conclui-se que a pesquisa moçambicana émajoritariamente publicada por periódicos de países centrais, o quedificulta o acesso às publicações, pois a pesquisa moçambicanapublicada na Web of Science é, sobretudo, acessada por meio desubscrição. A pesquisa moçambicana é publicada com predominânciaem língua inglesa por pesquisadores de instituições nacionais eestrangeiras. Também concluiu que os pesquisadores moçambicanospublicam com pesquisadores estrangeiros sendo que as organizações nãogovernamentais e agências de cooperação internacional participam e têmmuita influência na comunicação científica moçambicana. A publicaçãocientífica moçambicana identificada no Google Scholar apresenta-se soba forma artigos publicados em periódicos com destaque para periódicosbrasileiros, mas apresenta-se também, em forma de anais de seminários,livros e relatórios de pesquisa, e, de teses defendidas em váriasuniversidades, também com maior destaque para universidadesbrasileiras.
Abstract : This research analyses the scientific production of Mozambicansresearchers published in the database Web of Science and the searchengine Google Scholar. The overall objective of this study is to analysethe scientific production of involved researchers in institutionsestablished in Mozambique. The specific objectives are: a) to identifyMozambican researchers and their institutions of filiation; b) to describejournals that are indexed in the Web of Science where they publish; c) topoint other publications of Mozambican researchers by means of theplatform of search Google Scholar. It is exploratory and descriptiveresearch. Research corpus is composed by publications of the identifiedauthors in the Web of Science and the Google Scholar. From the total of1536 articles recovered in the Web of Science with at least oneMozambican author, where identified 896 authors affiliated ininstitutions based in the country. The works recovered in the Web ofScience show that the authors are affiliated in 102 institutions in thecountry, the large concentration of publications and researchers are inpublic health institutions, with 286 researchers with 553 articles and thepublic institutions of education with 273 researchers with 461 articles.Looking of areas of the knowledge the more distinguished are healthand agriculture. The journals with high number of publications are PlosOne and Malaria Journal, in terms of publishers 44, 32% of the articletotal are indexed in the university press and the Elsevier/Pergamum andare published in the United States and England. From the same authorsrecovered in Web of Science, was carried a search in the Google Scholarthrough that retrieved 423 documents from which 199 are articles, andthe remained are distributed between 108 thesis, 72 book seminaries, 32reports, 17 books and 4 book chapters. The articles identified in theGoogle Scholar are published in 72 journals published in 14 countriesand the proceedings had been carried through in 9 countries. The thesishad been defended 57 titles in Brazil, 22 titles in Portugal andMozambique each, and 3 in the United States, 2 in Italy, and Hollandand Sweden with 1 thesis each one. It concluded that, Mozambicanresearch is mainly published by journals of central countries it makes ithard the access to those publications, therefore the Mozambicanresearch published in the Web of Science are, most had its access bysubscription. Mozambican research is published with predominance inEnglish language by researchers of national and foreign institutions.Also it s concluded that the Mozambican researchers always publishwith foreign researchers and non-governmental organizations andinternational cooperation agencies participate and have much influencein the Mozambican scientific communication. The Mozambicanscientific publication identified in the search on Google Scholar comesunder forms of scientific articles published in journals withpredominance to that published in Brazil, as well as, under form ofseminaries, books and reports of research, and, of thesis defended insome universities, with high prominence for Brazilian universities.

Os acadêmicos de Administração precisam pesquisar e publicar seus estudos para seguir as regras institucionais e avançar em suas carreiras, o que torna a publicação de artigos um assunto de grande importância para toda a academia. Esta dissertação traz múltiplos estudos que se destinam a investigar os fatores internos e externos que influenciam a publicação dos pesquisadores brasileiros na área da Administração. Para tanto, quatro etapas são traçadas, que consistem em quatro estudos distintos e interligados. Eu exploro a publicação de artigos, as competências essenciais para a publicação de artigos de alto nível, fatores de rejeição e as diferenças entre rankings de periódicos. Esta dissertação tem implicações para três públicos principais. Primeiro, para os pesquisadores que são capazes de entender melhor os fatores que influenciam sua produtividade. Em segundo lugar, os programas de doutorado são capazes de saber quais são os fatores mais importantes na formação de futuros pesquisadores. Em terceiro lugar, as agências institucionais podem repensar demandas institucionais de publicação e suas verdadeiras implicações.
Scholars need to conduct research and publish their studies to cope with institutional rules and advance in their career, which makes publishing a subject of great importance for all the academy. In this dissertation I conduct multiple studies that investigate a set of internal and external factors that influence research publication of Brazilian researchers in the field of Management. For this, four steps are used, consisting in four distinct and interconnected studies. Therefore, I explore the publication of articles, core competencies for top-level publication, rejection factors, differences between journal ranks. The studies contained in this dissertation have implications to three main audiences. First, scholars are able to better understand what influences their productivity. Second, doctoral programs are able to know what are the most important factors in the training of future researchers. Third, institutional agencies can rethink institutional demands for publication and their true implications.

A hipersensibilidade a veneno de Hymenoptera representa importante problema do ponto de vista de saúde da população, uma vez que pacientes alérgicos aos componentes do veneno podem desenvolver reações graves, às vezes fatais. A única profilaxia efetiva em pacientes sensibilizados é a imunoterapia veneno específica. Objetivos: avaliar as evidências científicas a respeito dos efeitos da imunoterapia específica utilizada na profilaxia secundária das reações graves em pacientes sensibilizados a veneno de Hymenoptera, por meio da realização de uma revisão sistemática. Métodos: a estratégia de busca seguiu as recomendações do Grupo de Pele da Colaboração Cochrane. A pesquisa foi realizada nas seguintes bases de dados: MEDLINE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL, The Cochrane Library), EMBASE, LILACS, SciSEARCH e nas referências de artigos mais relevantes. Todos os ensaios clínicos controlados e randomizados envolvendo imunoterapia com veneno de Hymenoptera versus imunoterapia com placebo ou apenas seguimento dos pacientes foram avaliados. Dois revisores de forma independente (ASW e LAMF) avaliaram a elegibilidade e a qualidade metodológica de cada ensaio clínico e extraíram os dados. O risco de reações sistêmicas, conseqüentes a ferroada acidental ou a teste de provocação com o inseto responsável, após a imunoterapia específica, foi avaliado por meio do cálculo do odds ratio e do respectivo intervalo de confiança de 95%. Resultados: 2267 resumos foram identificados. A maioria dos artigos foi excluída pelas seguintes razões: os estudos não eram controlados e randomizados ou não satisfaziam alguns critérios de inclusão. Apenas quatro estudos foram analisados. A idade dos pacientes variou entre dois e 65 anos. Apenas um estudo comparou imunoterapia com veneno de formiga contra placebo (Brown et al.) e três estudos (Hunt et al., Schubert et al. e Valentine et al.) comparam imunoterapia com venenos de abelha e vespa contra placebo ou seguimento de pacientes. Em cada estudo, o odds ratio para reações sistêmicas foi: Hunt et al.- Grupo I (veneno) x III (placebo): 0,10 (0,01

The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze publication trends of behavior analysts in the last 22 years of publication of Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, between 1993 and 2015. This study update Northup, Vollmer and Serrett (1993). A sample of 314 articles were selected from a population of 1.704 articles published between 1993 and 2015. This sample was revised and categorized, and publication trends analyzed based on variables and categories defined by Northup et al. (1993). The analyze variable were: (1) type of article, (2) participants, (3) setting, (4) behavioral change agents, (5) target behavior, (6) use of behavioral procedures and (7) generalization and follow-up measures. The results indicated that the JABA remains one of research papers communication newspaper with few studies for review, discussion and methodological studies. The typical behavioral change agent identified in the analyzed research is the own experimenter. Most surveys are interventions with people with developmental disabilities. Positive reinforcement, verbal instruction and punishment are the most common procedures in the analyzed articles and research published still lack data on follow-up and generalization measures. Implications for future research on interventions by applied behavior analysts discussed based on the founded results
O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar e analisar as tendências de publicações dos analistas do comportamento nos últimos 22 anos de publicação do JABA, período compreendido entre 1993 e a primavera de 2015. As análises de tendências aqui desenvolvidas partiram da atualização do estudo publicado por Northup, Vollmer e Serrett (1993). Foi selecionada uma amostra da população total de publicações do JABA no referido período, e as tendências de publicações foram analisadas com base nas variáveis e categorias definidas por Northup et al. (1993). Da população de 1.704 artigos publicados entre 1993 e 2015 no JABA, 314 artigos foram selecionados como amostra da presente pesquisa, revisados e classificados. As variáveis analisadas foram: (1) tipo de artigo, (2) participantes, (3) ambiente, (4) agentes de mudança comportamental, (5) comportamento alvo, (6) uso de procedimentos comportamentais e (7) medidas de generalização e follow-up. Os resultados indicaram que o JABA continua sendo um jornal de comunicação de artigos de pesquisa, com poucos estudos de revisão, discussão e estudos metodológicos. O típico agente de mudança comportamental identificado nas pesquisas analisadas é o próprio experimentador. A maioria das pesquisas envolve intervenções com pessoas com transtornos do desenvolvimento. Reforçamento positivo, instrução verbal e punição são os procedimentos comportamentais mais frequentes nos artigos analisados; e as pesquisas publicadas ainda carecem de dados sobre follow-up e medidas de generalização. Implicações para pesquisas futuras sobre as intervenções aplicadas de analistas do comportamento foram discutidas com base nos resultados encontrados

I denna rapport undersöks hur elektroniska böcker (eBooks) enligt standarden Open eBook Publication Structure kan komprimeras på ett effektivt sätt. Anledningen till att området valts är att en välanvänd standard för eBooks inte finns för tillfället. Standarden är relativt ny och senaste versionen av specifikationen har kommit ut under 2002. Med i utvecklingen av standarden finns många stora företag som exempelvis Adobe Systems Inc. och Palm Digital Media. En litterär undersökning för passande komprimeringsalgoritmer har gjorts och två algoritmer för komprimering av eBooks har efter undersökningen utvecklats. Tester och slutsatser angående komprimeringseffektiviteten hos komprimeringsalgoritmerna finns också dokumenterade i rapporten.

Objectives: To review, apply and compare existing publication bias methodology. To extend the selection model methods that adjust combined estimates and to develop models to adjust for publication bias and heterogeneity simultaneously. ' Methods: Methodologies that test for the existence of publication bias, estimate the number of missing studies, and adjust combined estimates for publication bias are reviewed. Parametric weighted distribution methodology is developed further. The existing family of distributions is extended to include a logistic function. Weight functions previously limited to modelling selection based on two-tailed p-values have been restructured for one-tailed p-values. The selection mechanism model has been developed to incorporate both p-values and precision. The model for effect size has been developed to incorporate linear predictors, so heterogeneity and publication bias can be modelled simultaneously. Data: Two systematic reviews taken from the Cochrane Library and simulation studies. Results: Methods that test for the existence of publication bias or estimate the number of missing studies are limited by the strength of their assumptions and low power. Weighted distributions offer the only way to directly assess the impact of publication bias. In data sets in which there is heterogeneity or the true treatment effect is null, modelling the selection mechanism on p-values only can lead to over-adjusted estimates and considerable variability between estimates with wide confidence intervals. Extending the selection model to include precision reduces this. It is then possible to include other covariates such as study quality or type. The effect-size model can be extended in a similar way to include linear predictors. Combination of these two models allows simultaneous consideration of the influence of publication bias and heterogeneity. Conclusions: Weighted distributions offer a flexible approach to modelling publication bias. Inclusion of precision in the selection model reduces sensitivity of the model to the shape of the selection model improving consistency of results. No selection model should be used on its own but in conjunction with others to allow a sensitivity approach

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. La présence de biais dans les articles scientifiques est reconnue. L'enregistrement préalable de l'étude devient une recommandation en 2005 visant à limiter ces biais. Cette thèse a pour objectifs d'évaluer : 1)la proportion d'essais enregistrés depuis ces recommandations 2)L'adéquation entre les articles publiés et les registres 3)l'utilisation des registres par les reviewers. Résultats:1)Dans la première étude, sur les 144 articles publiés entre 2006 et 2008, 40 étaient enregistrés (27,8%). De plus, 24 résumés avaient une conclusion inadéquate sur les 105 articles où le critère de jugement principal (CJP) était clair (22,9%). Les conclusions inadéquates sont plus fréquentes dans les essais négatifs. Dans la deuxième étude, sur les 323 articles indexés dans Medline en 2008, 234 étaient enregistrés (72,4%) et 147 (45,5%) l'étaient correctement (avant la fin de l'étude avec un CJP clair dans le registre). 2)Sur les 147 articles correctement enregistrés (147/323), une différence entre les CJP enregistré et publié existait dans 46 cas. Sur les 23 cas analysables, 19 favorisaient les résultats statistiquement significatifs. 3)Sur les 1136 réponses (envoi total de 3236 questionnaires), 676 provenaient de reviewers ayant analysé un article dans les 2 ans. Sur les 232/676 ayant consulté le registre (34. 3%), 206 ont mentionné une différence avec les données manuscrites et 46 ont demandé aux éditeurs de rejeter l'article. Conclusion. L'enregistrement des essais augmente, tout comme persiste l'inadéquation entre les données enregistrées et publiées. Toutefois, la situation est encourageante car un tiers des reviewers utilisent déjà les registres lors du reviewingIntroduction. Evidence of selective outcome reporting in medical literature is well-known. In 2005, a policy requiring investigators to deposit information in a registry before study onset was initiated. This initiative ambitioned to reduce biases. This study aims to assess: 1)The frequency of trial registration since these recommandations 2)The adequacy between published articles and registers 3)The use of registered information by reviewers. Results: 1)In 40 of the 144 articles, the studies had been registered (27. 8%). Moreover, 24 reports (23%) contained misleading conclusions, of the 105 articles with a clear primary outcome (PO). Négative trial results were associated with misleading abstract conclusions. In the second study, of the 323 included trials, 147 (45. 5%) were adequately registered (i. E. , registered before the end of the trial, with the PO clearly specified). 2)Among the 147 articles with trials adequately registered, 46 (31%) showed some evidence of outcome reporting bias, of which, when the PO description was available, 82. 6% (19/23) had PO results that were statistically significant. 3)Of the 1,136 responses (37. 5%), 676 (59. 5%) had reviewed an article in the past 2 years. Among these, 232 (34. 3%) looked at a trial registry. If one or more items differed between the registry record and the manuscript, 206 reviewers mentioned the discrepancy in their review comments, 46 advised editors not to accept the manuscript. Conclusion. There is an increase in trial registration, and also discrepancies between registered and published information. However, the situation is encouraging because a third of reviewers already use registers in the peer-review process

Full textAbstract:
Le système d’évaluation par les pairs est le gold standard de la publication scientifique. Ce système a deux objectifs: d’une part filtrer les articles scientifiques erronés ou non pertinents et d’autre part améliorer la qualité de ceux jugés dignes de publication. Le rôle des revues scientifiques et des rédacteurs en chef est de veiller à ce que des connaissances scientifiques valides soient diffusées auprès des scientifiques concernés et du public. Cependant, le système d’évaluation par les pairs a récemment été critiqué comme étant intenable sur le long terme, inefficace et cause de délais de publication des résultats scientifiques. Dans ce projet de doctorat, j’ai utilisé une modélisation par systèmes complexes pour étudier le comportement macroscopique des systèmes de publication et d’évaluation par les pairs. Dans un premier projet, j’ai modélisé des données empiriques provenant de diverses sources comme Pubmed et Publons pour évaluer la viabilité du système. Je montre que l’offre dépasse de 15% à 249% la demande d’évaluation par les pairs et, par conséquent, le système est durable en termes de volume. Cependant, 20% des chercheurs effectuent 69% à 94% des revues d’articles, ce qui souligne un déséquilibre significatif en termes d’efforts de la communauté scientifique. Les résultats ont permis de réfuter la croyance largement répandue selon laquelle la demande d’évaluation par les pairs dépasse largement l’offre mais ont montré que la majorité des chercheurs ne contribue pas réellement au processus. Dans mon deuxième projet, j’ai développé un modèle par agents à grande échelle qui imite le comportement du système classique d’évaluation par les pairs, et que j’ai calibré avec des données empiriques du domaine biomédical. En utilisant ce modèle comme base pour mon troisième projet, j’ai modélisé cinq systèmes alternatifs d’évaluation par les pairs et évalué leurs performances par rapport au système conventionnel en termes d’efficacité de la revue, de temps passé à évaluer des manuscrits et de diffusion de l’information scientifique. Dans mes simulations, les deux systèmes alternatifs dans lesquels les scientifiques partagent les commentaires sur leurs manuscrits rejetés avec les éditeurs du prochain journal auquel ils les soumettent ont des performances similaires au système classique en termes d’efficacité de la revue. Le temps total consacré par la communauté scientifique à l’évaluation des articles est cependant réduit d’environ 63%. En ce qui concerne la dissémination scientifique, le temps total de la première soumission jusqu’à la publication est diminué d’environ 47% et ces systèmes permettent de diffuser entre 10% et 36% plus d’informations scientifiques que le système conventionnel. Enfin, le modèle par agents développé peut être utilisé pour simuler d’autres systèmes d’évaluation par les pairs ou des interventions, pour ainsi déterminer les interventions ou modifications les plus prometteuses qui pourraient être ensuite testées par des études expérimentales en vie réelleThe peer-review system is undoubtedly the gold standard of scientific publication. Peer review serves a two-fold purpose; to screen out of publication articles containing incorrect or irrelevant science and to improve the quality of the ones deemed suitable for publication. Moreover, the role of the scientific journals and editors is to ensure that valid scientific knowledge is disseminated to the appropriate target group of scientists and to the public. However, the peer review system has recently been criticized, in that it is unsustainable, inefficient and slows down publication. In this PhD thesis, I used complex-systems modeling to study the macroscopic behavior of the scientific publication and peer-review systems. In my first project, I modeled empirical data from various sources, such as Pubmed and Publons, to assess the sustainability of the system. I showed that the potential supply has been exceeding the demand for peer review by 15% to 249% and thus, the system is sustainable in terms of volume. However, 20% of researchers have been performing 69% to 94% of the annual reviews, which emphasizes a significant imbalance in terms of effort by the scientific community. The results provided evidence contrary to the widely-adopted, but untested belief, that the demand for peer review over-exceeds the supply, and they indicated that the majority of researchers do not contribute to the process. In my second project, I developed a large-scale agent-based model, which mimicked the behavior of the conventional peer-review system. This model was calibrated with empirical data from the biomedical domain. Using this model as a base for my third project, I developed and assessed the performance of five alternative peer-review systems by measuring peer-review efficiency, reviewer effort and scientific dissemination as compared to the conventional system. In my simulations, two alternative systems, in which scientists shared past reviews of their rejected manuscripts with the editors of the next journal to which they submitted, performed equally or sometimes better in terms of peer-review efficiency. They also each reduced the overall reviewer effort by ~63%. In terms of scientific dissemination, they decreased the median time from first submission until publication by ~47% and diffused on average 10% to 36% more scientific information (i.e., manuscript intrinsic quality x journal impact factor) than the conventional system. Finally, my agent-based model may be an approach to simulate alternative peer-review systems (or interventions), find those that are the most promising and aid decisions about which systems may be introduced into real-world trials

Full textAbstract:
Legal deposit is an obligation to deposit publications with specified depositories. The purpose of legal deposit is to preserve and provide long-term access to the national intellectual heritage. Extending legal deposit to digital publications presents many challenges for the framing of legislation, selection and acquisition of material, preservation and provision of access. The aim of this research was to: explore the potential issues related to the extension of UK legal deposit to digital publications and identify the implications for existing legal deposit arrangements. The research was based on Soft Systems Methodology. Data was gathered through two rounds of interviews with stakeholder groups, including legal deposit libraries, publishers, government and technical experts. Preservation is accepted as the main purpose of legal deposit, but there is some tension and lack of trust between publishers and legal deposit libraries on access to legal deposit collections. The new UK legal deposit law is enabling only; implementation will require further regulations that will be subject to detailed consultation and negotiation. While there has been a voluntary scheme in place for some time in the UK, the research found a lack of readiness amongst the UK legal deposit libraries. They still had to develop cooperative arrangements between themselves and publishers; policies, procedures, especially for online publications; and did not have all the necessary technical infrastructure in place. The deposit of digital publications is an extra role for legal deposit libraries and it is not clear that they will receive extra funding, as is the case in some other countries. There is currently no full-scale fully functional digital legal deposit system in the world. However, there are lessons to be learned from other legal deposit libraries and research and development work is providing partial solutions. The key issues are the need for communication and collaboration between UK legal deposit libraries and cooperation and trust between legal deposit libraries and publishers. Developments since the research was carried out demonstrate some progress in this. Without these, digital legal deposit cannot be successfully implemented in the UK. There is also a need to look at what the users require in terms to material collected and how it is preserved.

Cette approche globale d'un etat editeur est peu usitee, y compris par l'etat lui-meme qui peine a diriger de maniere unitaire ses institutions specialisees. L'absence d'une veritable politique editoriale est patente et les mesures de coordination sont en retrait face aux logiques sectorielles de services et d'organismes qui privilegient des strategies separees. Les publications editees le sont sans qu'aucun catalogue general ne vienne en presenter l'etendue au public. La proliferation des periodiques, en particulier, demontre le dynamisme et la creativite d'une edition qui souffre neanmoins de l'instabilite chronique de ses nouveaux titres. Un classement fonde sur les caracteristiques discursives des contenus conduit a identifier trois familles de publications. La premiere, juridique, constitue la raison d'etre de l'etat editeur qui cree et publie le droit pour organiser et imposer son pouvoir de domination. La deuxieme, documentaire, est marquee par l'inflation de la << litterature grise >> et correspond a la fonction d'etude et a la mission pedagogique de la puissance publique. La troisieme, promotionnelle, connait un renouveau avec la parution de lettres d'informations et de magazines ministeriels inspires par les supports d'information de la presse d'entreprise et de la communication politique. Cette << presque propagande >> systematise, aux fins d'une promotion de l'administration et de la politique gouvernementale, une representation de l'etat qui delaisse la symbolique republicaine traditionnelle et l'apologie d'un etat-providence souverain et superieur au profit de l'image banalisee d'une forme d'etat marchand. Etat de tous les jours et de tout le monde, enonce en privilegiant le facteur humain incarne par l'action des fonctionnaires et des managers, ministres et enarques, qui dirigent ce modele ideal imprime.

O trabalho avaliou o uso de slogans e iconografia computacional 3D para fins educacionais. Foram aplicadas 3 formas textuais (tópicos longos; slogans e junção das formas anteriores), para avaliar o aprendizado de estudantes de 3º ano médico sobre Doenças Sexualmente Transmissíveis. Aplicou-se 10 questões de múltipla escolha imediatamente após a leitura e 60 dias após a primeira aplicação. Houve aumento de memorização nos estudantes que utilizaram o texto contendo a junção das formas. Após, demonstrou-se que as iconografias podem condensar grandes quantidades de informações e transmiti-las em pouco tempo, utilizando para análise o Ciclo do Pelo. Foram então inseridos slogans nas iconografias, apresentando uma nova forma de transmissão rápida da informação. Essas ferramentas, podem trazer benefícios ao aprendizado do aluno.The paper evaluated the use of slogans and computational 3-D iconography for educational purposes. Three textual forms were applied (long topics; slogans; combination of the two previous forms), in order to evaluate the learning of third-year medical students about Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Ten multiple-choice questions were applied immediately after reading and 60 days after the first application. There was an increase in memorization in students who used the text with combination of the didactic material forms. Before, we demonstrated that the iconographies can condense high quantities of information and transmit them in a short time, utilizing the theme Hair Cycle for analysis. Slogans were inserted in the iconographies, presenting a new form of rapid transmission of information. These tools, when utilized in educational material, may provide benefits to the learning.

Behavior Analysis always had great emphasis in education research, and the Journal of Behavioral Education set out to be a place for publications in this area. Periodically it is useful to investigate characteristics of publication in order to point out strengths and weaknesses and suggests changes when necessary. Lee et al. (2007) investigated publication trends from the beginning of the journal to 2005, and now it important to look back again. Publications from 2006 to 2015, volumes 15 to 24 were investigated using largely the same categories and variables used by Lee et al. (2007), with some minor changes and expansions, with the goal of determining characteristics regarding participants, research design and interventions as well as generalization, maintenance and procedural integrity data. Bibliographic data collected are: (a) Year, (b) Issue, (c) Author, (d) University, (e) Country, (f) Keywords, (g) Editor. Article characteristics data collected are: (a) Type of Article, (b) Quantity of studies, (c) Setting, (d) Intervention format, (e) Intervenor, (f) Dependent variable, (g) Generalization data, (h) Maintenance data, (i) Integrity data (j) Social validity data, (k) Design. Results shows that trends present in Lee et al. (2007) are mostly maintained, multiple-baseline design being the main choice, most of the studies use schools as setting, but half of them are done outside of the classroom. Interventions are applied mainly by the experimenter and using a one-on-one format. There was little but significant improvement in generalization, maintenance and procedural integrity data. Suggestions for improvement of the area follows
A Análise do Comportamento teve, historicamente, grande ênfase na pesquisa em Educação, e a revista Journal of Behavioral Education se propôs a ser um vetor para este tipo de publicação na área. Periodicamente é útil investigar características das publicações para que seja possível apontar pontos positivos e sugerir mudanças quando necessário. Tal procedimento foi feito em Lee et al. (2007) que investigou características de publicação até o ano de 2005, e passados dez anos desde sua publicação, tornou-se importante uma nova investigação, desta vez o período entre 2006 e 2015, volumes 15 a 24. Foram utilizadas, majoritariamente, as mesmas categorias usadas por Lee et al. (2007), com pequenas mudanças e expansões. Os dados bibliográficos coletados foram: (a) Ano; (b) Edição; (c) Autor(es); (d) Filiação; (e) País; (f) Palavras-chave; (g) Editor. Sobre as características dos artigos foram catalogadas as seguintes variáveis: (a) Tipo de artigo; (b) Quantidade de estudos no artigo; (c) Setting; (d) Formato de intervenção; (e) Aplicador; (f) Variável Dependente; (h) Presença de dados de Generalização; (i) Presença de dados de Manutenção/Follow-up; (j) Presença de dados de Fidedignidade/Integridade; (k) Presença de dados de Validade Social; e (l) Delineamento utilizado. Foram encontradas características de publicação que se mantiveram quando comparadas com a pesquisa de Lee et al. (2007), o delineamento de linha de base múltipla sendo o principal delineamento, a intervenção feita majoritariamente em formato individual e aplicada pelo próprio pesquisador. A maior parte das pesquisas são feitas dentro da escola, porém metade destas fora da sala de aula. Houve um aumento pequeno, porém significativo, na apresentação de dados de generalização, manutenção e de integridade de procedimento. Por fim sugestões são apresentadas

This research in artistic processes has three series of drawings, developed as part of my production during the last two years of the Master s degree as object of study. The research is based on the discursive terrain of artist s writing and presents itself as a space-work-research: primarily expositive space in printed form. For the construction of the concept of Drawing Attractors, I approach its definition in physics, which is the set of dynamic behaviors and phenomena in continuous and chaotic fluctuation that occur within a system. I signal this concept by the drawing of a rings balance as seen in the video image Limbo (by Cao Guimarães) which to rotate, oscillate in a chaotic and poetic fluctuation in the density of the drawing. Each of the three chapters addresses one of the series in their different densities: rarefied drawings occupy the Spaces of contention, liquid drawings flow by the Abysses and seven seas and the amorphous soundness of Drawing-words exist only in the opacity of this research. Some references are important in poetic dialogues, especially with the artists: Diego Rayck, Raquel Stolf, Mira Schendel, José Leonilson, Francis Alÿs, Mel Bochner, Robert Smithson and Sol Lewitt. The specific research on the writings of artists organized by Aline Dias, Gloria Ferreira and Cecilia Cotrim, as well as the research into printed exhibition spaces by Regina Melim. Some writers were fundamental to this work through literary works: Moby Dick by Herman Melville, Lezioni americane: Sei proposte per il prossimo millennio by Italo Calvino, Cujo by Nuno Ramos and Espèces d espaces by Georges Perec. Some theoretical points are developed from the writings of the curators Emma Dexter, Briony Fer and Luis Pérez-Oramas
Esta pesquisa em processos artísticos tem como objeto de estudo três séries de desenhos, desenvolvidas como parte de minha produção durante os dois últimos anos do mestrado. A pesquisa assenta-se no terreno discursivo da escrita de artista e apresenta-se como um espaço-obra-pesquisa: espaço primordialmente expositivo em formato impresso. Para a construção do conceito dos atratores de desenho, aproximo-me de sua definição na física, que consiste no conjunto de comportamentos e fenômenos dinâmicos, em flutuação contínua e caótica, que ocorrem dentro de um sistema. Sinalizo este conceito por meio do desenho de um balanço de argolas imagem observada no vídeo Limbo (de Cao Guimarães) que ao girar, oscila em uma flutuação caótica e poética na densidade do desenho. Cada um dos três capítulos aborda uma das séries em suas diferentes densidades: desenhos rarefeitos ocupam os Espaços de contenção, desenhos líquidos escorrem pelos Abismos e sete mares e a solidez amorfa das Palavras-desenho existem somente na opacidade desta pesquisa. Algumas referências são importantes nas interlocuções poéticas, em especial com os artistas:, Diego Rayck, Raquel Stolf, Mira Schendel, José Leonilson, Francis Alÿs, Mel Bochner, Robert Smithson e Sol Lewitt. As pesquisas específicas sobre escritos de artistas organizadas por Aline Dias, Glória Ferreira e Cecília Cotrim, assim como a pesquisa sobre espaços expositivos impressos por Regina Melim.

Full textAbstract:
A tuberculose (TB) é uma doença que foi declarada pela Organização Mundial de Saúde como emergência mundial em 1993. As ferramentas disponíveis hoje para controle da TB são: o diagnóstico precoce e o tratamento eficiente. Porém, o abandono do tratamento de TB é um problema enfrentado mundialmente em proporções que podem variar entre 3% a
80%. Por isso, a identificação dos fatores que são preditores do abandono do tratamento de TB pode ajudar a desenvolver melhores estratégias para o seu controle. O objetivo deste
trabalho é, através de uma metanálise, fazer uma estimativa sumária da medida de associação entre cada um dos fatores (a) relacionados ao serviço de saúde, (b) relacionado ao quadro clínico e à terapia da TB e (c) relacionados aos indivíduos e o abandono do tratamento de TB. A estratégia de busca eletrônica remota para a recuperação de publicações relevantes foi desenvolvida de forma específica para as diferentes bases consideradas relevantes (MEDLINE [Pubmed] e LILCS). Buscas por referências cruzadas, além da consulta à base de revisões sistemáticas COCHRANE, também foram realizadas. Investigações foram incluídas se fossem trabalhos observacionais ou experimentais que estudem fatores de risco ou preditores do desfecho de interesse (abandono do tratamento de tuberculose) através de comparações de dois ou mais grupos e se seus dados pudessem ser extraídos. Dois revisores classificaram os trabalhos e extraíram dados de forma mascarada e as discordâncias resolvidas. Mais de 190 textos completos foram aptos à combinação de dados. Destes, foi
possível extrair dados para combinação de 40 exposições. Destas, 19 foram demonstradas nesta investigação. Das 19 demonstradas, 13 exposições estudadas apresentaram associação e poderiam ser considerados preditores (sexo masculino, alcoolismo, infecção pelo HIV/SIDA, uso de drogas ilícitas, nacionalidade estrangeira, analfabetismo, retratamento, baciloscopia positiva, abandono prévio, tratamento de curta duração, acesso fácil à unidade de
saúde, treinamento para adesão, tuberculose extrapulmonar) e seis não apresentaram associação (desemprego, efeitos adversos, tuberculose resistente, necessidade de hospitalização, demora para o início do tratamento, espera longa para a consulta). Porém, essas associações devem ser consideradas de forma conservadora devido à elevada
heterogeneidade encontrada em todas as exposições. Apenas cinco exposições apresentaram explicação parcial e uma apresentou explicação total para a heterogeneidade. O viés de
publicação foi detectado em apenas duas das 19 exposições.Tuberculosis (TB) has been as a world emergency by World Health Organization in 1993. Nowadays, the tools available for TB control are early diagnosis and efficient treatment. However, TB treatment default is a concerning problem in the world and may vary between 3% and 80%, So, the identification of factors that may predict TB treatment default may help to develop better strategies to control TB. The objective of this work is, through a meta-analysis, to pool a summary estimate of associations of each factor (a) related to the health services, (b) to clinical condition and therapy and (c) to the individuals and TB treatment default. The remote electronic search strategy to find relevant publications was specifically developed for the different databases considered important, wich are: LILACS and MedLine (Pubmed). Searches for cross reference and search at COCHRANE systematic reviews database were also made. Investigations were included if they were observations or experimental that studied risk factors or predictive factors of the outcomes of interest (TB treatment default) through comparing two or more groups and the data could be extracted. Two independent reviewers classified and extracted the data and the discordances were solved in later meetings. More than 190 full texts were apt to be combines. From these texts, 40 exposures were extracted and combined. From these, 19 were shown in this investigation. 13 of 19 shown exposures demonstrated associations and could be considered as predictors ( male gender, alcoholism, HIV infection/AIDS, illicit drug use, foreign nationality, illiteracy, retreatment, positive sputum smear, previous default, short course therapy, easy access to health unit and adherence training extrapulmonary TB) and six did not show associations (unemployment , adverse effects, drug resistance, need for hospitalization, delay in start treatment, long wait for attendance). However these associations must considered very in a conservative way due to high level heterogeneity found in all exposures. Only five exposures have partially explanation and one have total explanation to the heterogeneity. Publication bias was detected in only two of the 19 exposures studied.

Full textAbstract:
Meta-analysis is the statistical part of a systematic review. Many researchers have used selection functions to model publication bias in a meta-analysis. The main problem with this approach is that it is impossible to verify that the selection function truly represents the selection process, and so the use of selection functions can only be seen as part of a sensitivity analysis. In this thesis we present new methods that involve selection functions that aim to make as few strong assumptions about selection as possible, including the use of a non-parametric permutation test, and the use of a step selection function. We also investigate the use of parametric selection functions and suggest how researchers could use these as part of a sensitivity analysis, by looking at a range of plausible values for the overall selection probability. As part of this sensitivity analysis, we assess the effectiveness of the Bounds method as presented by Henmi et al. Throughout the thesis we illustrate all methods with numerical examples, including a meta-analysis investigating the effects of environmental tobacco smoke on the risk of lung cancer in non-smokers.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the work of antiquary and scholar Joseph Ritson (1752-1803) in publishing significant and influential collections of early English and Scottish literature, including the first collection of medieval romance, by going beyond the biographical approaches to Ritson's work typical of nineteenth- and twentieth-century accounts, incorporating an analysis of Ritson's contributions to specific fields into a study of the context which made his work possible. It makes use of the 'Register of Manuscripts Sent to the Reading Room of the British Museum' to shed new light on Ritson's use of the manuscript collections of the British Museum. The thesis argues that Ritson's early polemic attacks on Thomas Warton, Thomas Percy, and the editors of Shakespeare allowed Ritson to establish his own claims to expertise and authority, built upon the research he had already undertaken in the British Museum and other public and private collections. Through his publications, Ritson experimented with different strategies for organizing, systematizing, interpreting and presenting his research, constructing very different collections for different kinds of texts, and different kinds of readers. A comparison of Ritson's three major collections of songs - A Select Collection of English Songs (1783), Ancient Songs (1790), and Scotish Songs (1794) - demonstrates some of the consequences of his decisions, particularly the distinction made between English and Scottish material. Although Ritson's Robin Hood (1795) is the most frequently reprinted of his collections, and one of the best studied, approaching this work within the immediate context of Ritson's research and other publications, rather than its later reception, offers some explanation for its more idiosyncratic features. Finally, Ritson's Ancient Engleish Metrical Romance's (1802) provides a striking example of Ritson's participation in collaborative networks and the difficulty of finding an audience and a market for editions of early English literature at the beginning of the nineteenth century.

Ireland, Philippa. "Material factors affecting the publication of black British fiction." Thesis, Open University, 2010. http://oro.open.ac.uk/54220/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines some of the material factors affecting the publication of black British fiction during the last three decades of the twentieth century. It argues that a study of the publishing history of black British fiction in this period must take into account wider political and cultural issues, as well as the internal structure and mechanics of book publishing. It therefore explores how shifting cultural, political and commercial contexts influenced the selection, marketing, supply and reception of a number of black British texts. The importance of the interaction between such 'external' factors and the 'internal' modus operandi of book production and distribution is highlighted throughout. A distinctive aspect of this thesis is its use of archives and personal testimonies provided by significant figures in publishing as key sources of information. The Introduction sets out the scope of the thesis, addressing, in particular, the label 'black British' and how it is to be used within the study. It also situates the research firmly within the discipline of Book History, considering some of the most influential models that have been proposed to help us understand the circulation of books in society. Part One establishes the historical context. Beginning with the early publication of black writers from the Caribbean in Britain in the 1950s and 1960s, it moves on to consider the ways in which black writers and writing were affected by changing political and cultural agendas throughout this period. It investigates the effect of multicultural policies and practice upon education and librarianship, as well as the response of local government and the Arts Council strategy to the changing make-up of British society, arguing that the impact of these wider developments had a significant influence upon the publication of black British fiction. Part Two focuses on publishers, publishing and prizes. It opens by offering a critical analysis of the activities and legacy of two pioneering black British publishers, both established in Britain in the late 1960s: New Beacon Books and Bogle L'Ouverture. The contrasting approach of the niche publisher X Press provides an example of the variety of ways in which autonomous black British presses evolved over the course of three decades. Comparisons are made with the role played by feminist publishers in Britain in the promotion of fiction by marginal groups, and it is argued that the market success of African American women's writing was an important influence on decisions by feminist publishers to publish black British women writers in the UK. This is followed by a detailed investigation of the literary prize phenomenon and its influence upon the publication of black British fiction. The final chapter of the thesis proffers a critical account of the success of some black British novelists in the light of this phenomenon. It argues that literary prizes with very specific entry criteria were to have a marked influence upon the literary careers of a handful of black British writers, and that this in turn had the effect of raising the profile of black British fiction more generally, thus demonstrating its commercial viability. In conclusion, it is argued that the period from the early 1980s to the 2000s represented a very specific and important moment in the publishing history of black British fiction. There still remains a role in the current market for a number of different publishers of black British fiction. This now needs to be viewed, however, within a context where the relevance and contemporary significance of the label 'black British' is constantly being reassessed.

L'objectif de ce travail était de décrire la recherche clinique, du protocole jusqu'à la publication. Quatre thèmes de recherche complémentaires ont été développés : le devenir des protocoles, le biais de publication, l'impact perçu des résultats, et les pratiques de publication. Quatre cohortes rétrospectives ont été constituées : les protocoles approuvés par un comité d'éthique de la recherche en France en 1994, les protocoles soumis pour financement aux Hospices Civils de Lyon en 1997, et les articles lyonnais publiés en 2001. Ces quatre thèmes de recherche imbriqués ont permis de décrire chaque étape du devenir (début, fin et publication) des protocoles de recherche clinique conduits à Lyon et en France. Ils ont également mis en évidence l'existence d'un biais de publication en France. La méthode mise en œuvre pour le suivi des protocoles pourrait être systématisée grâce à un enregistrement des protocoles sur un registre public standardisé au niveau national ou international

Every scientific research begins with a literature review that includes an extensive bibliographic search. Such searches are known to be difficult and time-consuming because of the vast amount of topical material existing in today's ever-changing technology base. Keeping up-to-date with related literature and being aware of the most recent publications require extensive time and effort.
The need for a WWW-based software tool for collecting and providing access to this scientific body of knowledge is undeniable. The study explained herein deals with this problem by developing an efficient, advanced, easy-to-use tool, WebBiblio, that provides a globally accessible WWW environment enabling the collection and dissemination of searchable bibliographies comprised of abstracts and keywords. This thesis describes the design, structure and features of WebBiblio, and explains the ideas and approaches used in its development. The developed system is not a prototype, but a production system that exploits the capabilities of the WWW. Currently, it is used to publish three VV&T bibliographies at the WWW site: http://manta.cs.vt.edu/biblio. With its rich set of features and ergonomically engineered interface, WebBiblio brings a comprehensive solution to solving the problem of globally collecting and providing access to a diverse set of bibliographies.Master of Science
