A inserção e o impacto internacional da pesquisa brasileira em 'estudos métricos': uma análise na base Scopus

This research aims at analyzing the Brazilian scientific contribution on “metric studies” in the mainstream science through journals indexed in the Scopus basis, intending to visualize its insertion and international impact in the area. Mainly, to diachronically study the researches, the most productive authors and the scientific support network generated among them, as well as to identify the journals in which such production has been disseminated. It is based upon the three main target groups of current bibliometrics, as in Glänzel’s perspective (2003), and upon the impact of Brazilian researches in the international community through the citations received. Were found 263 articles and tables concerning the diachronical study and the highlighted researchers and journals were constructed analyzing the insertion in the target groups, the number of articles, number of citations and the average of citations. As results, researchers from the Federal Universities of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo have stood out. All the researchers permeate the application of metric studies to several scientific areas, with emphasis on the health and biological sciences. The least contemplated researches were the ones whose objective was to develop and to discuss the bibliometrics as methodology, contributing to its on conceptual-theoreticalmethodological development, as well as those focusing on contributing, assessing and guiding scientific policies. We conclude by suggesting scientific and academic policies which motivate the researchers to publish in journals indexed in international bases in order to internationalize Brazilian science.

Estudos de Análise de Cocitação de Autores: uma abordagem teórico-metodológica para a compreensão de um domínio

This piece of research aims at analyzing the absolute and relative co-citation indicators, especially Salton’s Cosine and comparing the contribution of these indicators to the understanding of a domain, applying them to the universe of "Metric Studies" at the BRAPCI base. It also aims at presenting the co-citation network generated from the absolute frequencies and highlighting the groupings of co-cited authors, depending on the relative values, integrating and explaining the information from the two indexes. The domain analysis, by means of its 11 approaches, including “Bibliometric Studies”, focuses on the science characterization and evaluation, in that it allows us to identify and to analyze the conditions under which the scientific knowledge is constructed and socialized. In these studies, the contribution of citation and co-citation analysis is highlighted. Of the total of 147 articles retrieved at BRAPCI base, the authors cited in at least 11 articles, in a total of 38 researchers, were selected. The 38 x 38 symmetric matrix with the absolute frequencies of co-citation and the matrix with the relative values of Salton’s Cosine were generated. The co-citation network with absolute frequency values were constructed, through Ucinet software. Cluster analysis of data with relative values wer performed, using the SPSS software. Significant differences between the absolute and relative indexes, with some high absolute values of co-citation were observed; when considered in relation to the presence of each author, their significance is decreased. As to the generated network, seven groups were determined, in which only one is established for close themes and comes from co-citations in the original sense of the term. Five groups present closeness in absolute and relative indicators. It can be concluded about the importance of the studies of authors' co-citation analysis, which associate the two indexes, absolute and relative, in order to visualize and understand the underlying structures of a scientific domain.

Função simbólica e desenvolvimento da noção temporal em surdos e ouvintes: análise na perspectiva de Jean Piaget

In a previous research, it was observed that are symbolic exchanges established between the persons and the environment they live in that allow them to interact with others, leading them to reorganize their internal cognitive structures, reaching more elaborated stages. In the case of a person with deafness, the possibility of exchange can be compromised and knowledge about the construction of the temporal notion seems to be essential to enable a path of explanation about the difficulties they have regarding their cognitive development. Thus, based on the theory of Jean Piaget, the study intended to understand how the temporal notion constitutes as possible subject to the process of building the real, and examine, through empirical evaluation, if the difficulty in establishing symbolic exchanges caused by deafness would compromise the development of this notion. For this purpose, bibliographical research and empirical research were made, by the comparative evaluating between the performance of deaf and hearing subjects in relation to the construction of temporal notion. Two groups of subjects aged between 10 and 12 years were composed: one with three deaf subjects and another with 3 listeners. The assessment and analysis of the data were based on an experiment created by Piaget and his staff. The results showed that the listeners present responses from operative level, compatible with the age range in which they found themselves. In contrast, the deaf subjects showed responses of transition level, which indicates a situation of cognitive delay. We conclude that the potential compromise linguistic presented by deaf people, can hinder the activity representative causing delay in construction of temporal notion and consequently the development of thought. We conclude that the possible linguistic committal presented by deaf people can hinder the representative activity, causing delay in construction of temporal notion and consequently in the development of thought. In this sense, it seems that the Sign Language constitutes an important tool for deaf people because it allows symbolic exchanges that favor the cognitive development.

Análise de notificação B em uma drogaria de Araraquara e avaliação do conhecimento dos prescritores quanto à legislação vigente

Uma das diretrizes da Portaria nº3916 do Ministério da Saúde (MS) é a Relação Nacional de Medicamentos Essenciais (RENAME). A prescrição de medicamentos dentro do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) deve ser feita utilizando medicamentos listados nessa relação. O medicamento genérico, criado e regulamentado pela Lei nº9787, é prioridade da Política Nacional de Medicamentos do MS. De acordo com esta lei, “as prescrições médicas e odontológicas de medicamentos, no âmbito do Sistema Único de Saúde – SUS adotarão obrigatoriamente a Denominação Comum Brasileira (DCB)”. A Portaria 344/98 MS, que regulamenta o controle dos medicamentos sujeitos a controle especial, determina os itens que devem estar presentes nas notificações. Neste trabalho, 1177 notificações retidas em uma drogaria de Araraquara durante o período de junho de 2008 a outubro de 2010 foram separadas e analisadas quanto: a) à utilização da DCB; b) quanto à utilização de medicamentos listados na RENAME; e c) quanto à adequação a Portaria 344/98 MS. Também foi avaliado o conhecimento dos prescritores quanto às leis vigentes através da aplicação de um questionário semiestruturado. Entre as 1177 notificações analisadas, 779 (66,18%) foram prescritas utilizando o nome comercial e 398 (33,82%) foram prescritas utilizando a DCB. Analisando as 399 notificações vindas do SUS, 188 (47,11%) adotaram os medicamentos da RENAME. Foram encontrados 319 problemas com as notificações de acordo com a Portaria 344/98 MS, os quais foram: 22 (1,86%) notificações com algum erro na identificação do emitente e/ou assinatura do prescritor; 3 (0,25%) notificações com algum erro na identificação do usuário; 294 (24,97%) notificações com preenchimento confuso nos itens como nome do medicamento ou substância, dosagem ou concentração, forma farmacêutica , quantidade e posologia; e 465 (39,50%)...

Análise de fácies sedimentares e de paleocorrentes das sequências inferiores do grupo Itararé, Centro-Leste do estado de São Paulo

The Itararé Group is the record of one of the most significant glaciation events of the Gondwana. Of neocarboniferous-eopermian age, this unit has facies associations interpreted as resulted from shallow marine settings with glacial and deglacial water influence. The role of glaciers on the tectonic-sedimentary processes of the Itararé Group is striking, as typical facies such as diamictites, tilites, shales and rhythmites with dropstones are generated, besides the existence of glacially striated and polished surfaces. This work had as main goal to contribute to the geological knowledge of the Itararé Group in the central eastern portion of São Paulo State, using as basis outcrops from Itu, Salto and Porto Feliz, and also pertinent bibliographic data and well profiles located in the surrounding areas. About the stratigraphic framework, genetic association and paleogeography of these deposits, this work concludes that the area studied comprises the basal section of the Itararé Group. The stacking of the facies recognized during the field work begins with the striated and polished surfaces of the basement, described in Salto, superposed by tilites and diamictites with glacial movement features. Over these are the turbidites from Itu, associated with the glacier retreat. The outcrops of Porto Feliz are at the top of this succession, with deposits generated by flows with lateral and vertical variations, sometimes with prevalence of tractive conditions, and sometimes with sediments transported largely by suspension. Paleocurrent measurements show main flow directions towards NW, the same as glacial striae, suggesting the influence of reworking of sediments by the meltwater during deglacial periods

O atletismo na mídia: análise dos XV Jogos Pan-Americanos

Este trabalho tem como objetivo Identificar a forma pela qual o atletismo é divulgado pela mídia impressa. Para tanto, foram coletadas reportagens referentes a esta modalidade esportiva na mídia impressa durante o período dos Jogos Pan-Americanos do Rio de Janeiro, em 2007. Mais especificamente, foram analisadas as reportagens referentes ao atletismo, do jornal “Folha de São Paulo”, coletadas 13 dias antes dos Jogos Pan-Americanos, durante os Jogos Pan-Americanos e 13 dias após o seu término. Com base na Análise de conteúdo de Bardin (1979), foram identificadas 6 categorias de análise, quais sejam: “Quadro de resultados/críticas”; “Análise crítica da competição”; “Expectativa de resultados” “Reportagens poliesportivas”; “Lesões” e “História de vida e incentivo”. Os resultados demonstraram que a mídia, por meio de suas reportagens, exerce influência no modo e na forma com que o leitor interpreta o atletismo, já que registra críticas aos atletas; cria rivalidades entre eles; gera expectativas por resultados positivos e enaltece os melhores atletas em detrimento dos menos conhecidos do público. Por meio dessa pesquisa constatamos particularidades da relação entre o atletismo e a mídia, as quais certamente influenciam no conhecimento que se tem acerca dessa modalidade esportiva.

O desenvolvimento de habilidades argumentativas no ensino médio: perspectiva a partir de um minicurso investigativo com base na história da ciência

The performance of investigative activities with lessons in teaching Science and Chemistry has promoted meaningful learning of scientific knowledge. This study aimed to develop the links between higher education for research and skills argumentative, aimed at building the scientific concept on combustion of the candle in a closed container, for students from two classes of 3rd year of high school, two city schools Bauru, São Paulo. We decided to do a short course investigative, to respond argumentative skills which are developed during the minicourse using investigative activities, knowledge from the history and philosophy of science. The results were gathered from analysis of video recordings of episodes of the short course in both the groups, to produce a higher rate of use of argumentative skill, which were classified into categories according to the prior knowledge of the subject, 'factual knowledge' , 'understanding of concepts' and 'reasoning and analysis.' From the information obtained, it was found that both the teachers and the students were consistent in their actions, and that the activity of reasoning is key to learning. Thus, one can realize that knowledge is not acquired all at the same time, each individual depends on the mediation of the teacher in order to reach different design more appropriate teaching and investigative linked with the argument can be the key tool to acquire this knowledge

Diferença no número de técnicas e técnicos no voleibol: uma análise das categorias de base até o adulto

Voleyball is a sport that has gained an important contingent of public, achieving a growing visibility especially in recent years. Despite being a very democratic sport, as it is practiced by both men and women, it can be observed that there are differences when the analysis refers to who is in charge of the teams. So the purpose of this study was to analyze the presence of women in the country volleyball (coaches) from base categories to the professional adult, through a documental research. Data were collected from electronic documents, official websites and websites of federations teams. The results indicated that the number of women coaching volleyball athletes is minimal, revealing the difference between the professional treatment given to male and female genders. Therefore, it became clear that certain discrepancies are caused not only by lack of professionalism, but also by the cultural characteristics that still consider the place of women as domestic and not in the command of field sports

Análise do desempenho físico-mecânico de painéis compensados de Pinus sp. produzidos com adesivos aquosos a base de poliacetato de vinila e de homopolímero vinílico

This study aimed to evaluate the physico-mechanical performance of three PVA adhesive formulations according to the Brazilian standards for plywood testing and to evaluate the results with those presented in the technical literature and specified in normative documents. The study presents the production process of the panels, the obtaining of samples and, finally, the implementation of physico-mechanical characterization tests based on plywood Brazilian standards. For the panels production it was used a gramature of 120 g / m² and applied a pressure of 15 bars and two temperature combinations and pressing time for each adhesive. The commercial adhesives used were PVA 1810, PVA 1060 and Vinyltec 239. The physical tests conducted were thickness swelling, density, moisture content and water absorption. The mechanical tests were static flexion, for the determination of elasticity modulus (MOE) and rupture modulus (MOR), and shear in the glue line. Among the three formulations studied none showed good performance in the presence of water. However, other trials in the adhesive showed better results and closer to the commercially equivalent used, in the case the urea-formaldehyde, was the PVA 1810, that can be applied in non-structural uses and in environments without the presence of moisture
