Estudo da área de turismo: em busca da adequação dos critérios de avaliação Qualis / P. Study of the tourism area: in search of the adequacy of Qualis evaluation criteria

Elaine Cristina Miranda Koebsch 10 April 2017 (has links)
O objetivo da pesquisa é analisar a comunicação científica da área de Turismo para fornecer subsídios à política científica na avaliação da produção com base nas suas características. Parte do questionamento sobre a adequação dos critérios de avaliação da área de Administração, Ciências Contábeis e Turismo, analisando se as três subáreas são atendidas da mesma maneira. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória descritiva com abordagem quantitativa dos dados, baseada na análise dos documentos das grandes áreas de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas e Humanas, dos periódicos classificados na área Administração, Ciências Contábeis e Turismo e dos currículos Lattes dos pesquisadores dos PPG\"s da área de Turismo. Está estruturada em seis capítulos, sendo o primeiro a introdução e o último as conclusões. O capítulo 2 inicia traçando um panorama da evolução da ciência para, em seguida, tratar da comunicação científica e da avaliação. Para tanto se utiliza do conhecimento da Ciência da Informação. O terceiro capítulo apresenta alguns estudos sobre como a área de Turismo e suas abordagens, bem como algumas considerações sobre a comunicação científica na área e a avaliação. Os procedimentos metodológicos utilizados são apresentados no capítulo 4, e as análises dos dados no capítulo 5. Os resultados apontam que, Administração, Ciências Contábeis e Turismo são áreas em diferentes estágios de desenvolvimento, o que resulta em magnitudes incomparáveis, de número de programas de pós-graduação, de pesquisadores e de produção científica, e que redunda em uma estrutura de comunicação científica mais consolidada, com periódicos melhor estabelecidos - os critérios utilizados favorecem a ADM, cujos periódicos predominam nos estratos mais altos. Observou também que os pesquisadores de Turismo têm grande parte das suas publicações em eventos, seguida de artigos em periódicos nacionais, na maioria classificados no estrato B3 do Qualis. Destaca o fato que essas características podem levar a uma subavaliação da sua produção. Conclui que é necessária uma adaptação do modelo de avaliação Qualis da Capes para a área que considere seu estágio de desenvolvimento e sua produção, que considere a participação em eventos, e valorize a sua identidade social e humana, não sendo somente uma atividade econômica. / The objective is analyze the scientific communication of the Tourism area research to provide subsidies for scientific research in the evaluation of production at the national level based on its characteristics. It starts questioning about the adequacy of the evaluation criteria of the tourism area, comparing it with Administration and the Accounting Sciences the other subareas that are classified together, to identify if they correspond at the same way to the three subareas. This is a descriptive exploratory research with a quantitative data approach that was carried out through analyzes of the area documents from the major areas of Applied Social Sciences and Humanities, through the periodicals classified in the area of Administration, Accounting and Tourism and analysis of Lattes data of the researchers from the postgraduate programs of the Tourism area. It is structured in six chapters, the first makes and introduction and the last present some conclusions. Chapter 2 begins by drawing a panorama of the evolution of science and scientific knowledge and then dealing with scientific communication and evaluation. To do so, the tools of Information Science were used. The third chapter presents some of the main studies on tourism and its approaches, as well as some considerations about scientific communication in the area and evaluation. The methodological procedures were presented on chapter 4 and the data analyzes were done in chapter 5. The results point out to the Administration, Accounting Sciences and Tourism are areas at different stages of development and the criteria used are better for Administration, a larger area. It also notes that tourism researchers have a large part of their publications in events, followed by articles in national journals, most of them classified as B3. It draws attention to the fact that these characteristics could lead to underestimation of their production. It concludes the Capes Qualis evaluation model needs to be adapted, based on other types of criteria, more qualitative rather than quantitative, that valorize the human and social aspects of tourism.

Nature e Science: mudança na comunicação da ciência e a contribuição da ciência brasileira (1936-2009) / Nature and Science: changes in the communication of science and the Brazilian contribution to science (1936-2009)

Germana Fernandes Barata 25 October 2010 (has links)
A escolha dos meios em que se vai comunicar a ciência é uma importante estratégia para progredir na carreira científica ou, simplesmente, garantir o cumprimento da demanda cotidiana. Publicar em periódicos considerados de melhor qualidade e visibilidade tem sido uma exigência cada vez mais comum entre cientistas, sobretudo da área de ciências biomédicas e exatas. A comunicação da ciência nestes quase 350 anos, desde a criação dos primeiros periódicos, ganhou dimensão, prestígio e influência. Nesse cenário, Nature e Science, periódicos centenários e multidisciplinares, estão entre as publicações de maior prestígio na academia mundial. Esta tese de doutorado busca entender a mudança de papel dos periódicos científicos, desde a primeira metade do século XX, e o histórico das contribuições brasileiras para a ciência mundial. Um levantamento sobre tais contribuições foi realizado, por meio de busca no banco de dados internacional Web of Science, totalizando 370 contribuições na Nature (1937- 2009) e 254 contribuições na Science (1936-2009). Também foram realizadas entrevistas com 16 cientistas que publicaram nesses periódicos para entender suas escolhas e os impactos pessoais e profissionais de suas contribuições. À estratégia para difundir e compartilhar informações para a construção da ciência somou-se o marketing científico a priorizar veículos, autores, instituições, áreas do conhecimento, temas, visões, paradigmas. Nature e Science são representantes ativos e paradigmáticos desse novo ciclo da comunicação e da própria percepção sobre a construção da ciência. Suas páginas sugerem um desenvolvimento da ciência feito em saltos qualitativos e revolucionários, o que contribui para uma visão parcialmente deturpada sobre a construção da ciência e, inclusive, para uma percepção distorcida dos próprios cientistas sobre suas colaborações para a ciência mundial, que passam da prioridade do envolvimento intelectual, para a visibilidade e os resultados cientométricos. / The choice of the means to communicate science becomes an important strategy to progress in the scientific career or, simply, to guarantee the fulfillments of daily demands. Publishing in journals considered of better quality and visibility has been a frequent requirement among scientists, mainly from the biomedical and hard sciences. The communication of science in the last 350 years, since the creation of the first journals, has acquired dimension, prestige and influence. In this scenario, Nature and Science, centenarian and multidisciplinary journals, are among the publications of greater prestige in the world-wide academy. This thesis aims at understanding the change of role of scientific journals, since the first half of 20th Century, and describing the Brazilian contributions for international science. A survey on such contributions was carried through, by searching in the international data base Web of Science, which totalized 370 contributions in Nature (1937-2009) and 254 in Science (1936-2009). Interviews had also been carried through with 16 scientists who had published in these journals to understand their choices and the personal and professional impacts of their contributions. The strategy to spread out and share information in order to build science up has been added to the science marketing which prioritizes journals and means of communication, authors, institutions, fields of knowledge, topics, opinions and paradigms according to the interest. Nature and Science represent active and paradigmatic assets of this new cycle of communication and of the perception of the construction of science. They suggest a development of science made in qualitative and revolutionary jumps, which contributes to a partially distorted perception about the construction of science and, also, about the scientists own contributions to science, that once has prioritized the intellectual involvement and now focuses on the visibility and the scietometric results.

Romain Rolland dans le contexte suisse de la Grande Guerre / Romain Rolland : the First World War as seen from Switzerland

Juin, Guillaume 26 October 2012 (has links)
Romain Rolland incarne la figure de l’antihéros : écrivain connu et reconnu à travers le monde grâce au succès littéraire de Jean-Christophe, il tombe à partir de 1914 dans une dissidence intellectuelle dont il ne parvient pas à se sortir. L’article « Au-dessus de la Mêlée » est asséné depuis la Suisse, lieu de refuge pour de nombreux européens voulant demeurer libres. Il devient à l’échelle du monde un exemple à suivre. Ses articles, sa correspondance et sa posture sont observés, relayés, admirés. La diffusion de ses idées et de ses écrits touche l’Europe et le monde. Que cela plaise ou que cela irrite, malgré les acteurs en présence et les nationalismes exacerbés par les circonstances du conflit, il assume ses paroles et ses actes. Il adresse au monde un message humaniste afin de défendre la Justice et la Vérité. / The story of Romain Rolland is that of an antihero. The literary success of his epic novel, Jean-Christophe,turned him into an internationally famous and well-respected writer; but, from 1914 onwards, he becametrapped in the role of intellectual dissident, and would never really break free from it. His controversialarticle entitled “Au-dessus de la Mêlée” (“Above the Crowd”) was written in Switzerland, which had becomea refuge for many intellectuals. He became an inspiration for people the world over. They paid close attentionto his articles, his correspondence and his attitude, and discussed and admired them. The dissemination ofhis ideas and of his writing had a huge impact on Europe and on the wider world. What he was sayingappealed to some, and outraged others; and in particular, often offended the nationalistic feelings that werebeing exacerbated by the conflict – but he always took full responsibility for his words and actions. He putforward a humanist message to the world, in defence of Justice and Truth.

”Viskleken” : Informationsöverföringen från operationsavdelning till vårdavdelning. / “Chinese Whispers” : Information transfer from surgical ward to care unit.

Paulsson, Lotta, Helgeson, Victoria January 2012 (has links)
Bakgrund: En bra kommunikation är en förutsättning för god kvalitet och patientsäkerhet i vården och när två olika system används har vi funderat över vad som händer med omvårdnadsdokumentationen när patienten förflyttas mellan vårdenheterna. Syftet: Vårt syfte med studien var att undersöka om de omvårdnadsåtgärder som operations-sjuksköterskan dokumenterat i operationsplaneringssystemet och rapporterat vidare, återfinns i omvårdnadsjournalen. Metod: En kvalitetsgranskning av journalanteckningar har utförts. Inklusionskriterierna var att patienterna opererats under minst tre timmar och att vårdtiden efter operationen var minst 24 timmar, då det var det första dygnets journalföring som kvalitetsgranskades. Sammanlagt granskades 40 stycken journaler. Resultat: I studien granskades sex stycken sökord ur operationsplaneringssystemet, vilka var; hudstatus, operationsläge, dränage, KAD, förband samt hudsuturer. Studien visade att överföringen av informationen var bristfällig. I en del fall framkommer det att information saknades eller förändrades när patienten förflyttades från operationsavdelningen till vårdavdelningen. Vidare framkom det att patienten förflyttades mer än en gång mellan vårdenheter. Slutsats: Resultatet i vår studie anser vi tyder på att en gemensam standardiserad journal med tydliga riktlinjer skulle underlätta för informationsöverföringen mellan de olika enheterna. Klinisk betydelse: Risken för att fel eller missförstånd uppstår minskar om ett gemensamt journalsystem används, vilket vi anser ökar patientsäkerheten. / Background: Good communication is prerequisite for good quality and patient safety in health care and when two different systems are used, we wondered what happens to the nursing documentation when the patient moves between different care units. Aim: The aim of the study was to examine whether the operation theatre nurses nursing care documentations in the operations planning system was reported on and can be found in the nursing journal. Method: A quality review of nursing care journal documentations was performed. Inclusion criteria was that the patient should have had an operation for at least three hours and aftercare for at least 24 hours, since it was the nursing care documentation that were done during the first day that were being quality reviewed. A total of 40 journals were examined. Results: Six keywords out of the operation planning system were examined, which are; skin status, operation position, drainage, KAD, dressing and skin sutures. Result of the study showed that the transfer of data was incomplete. In some cases it revealed that information was missing or altered when the patient was moved from the surgical ward to the care unit. Furthermore, it was found that the patient was moved more than once between different units. Conclusion: According to our study, we suggest that a common standardized journal with clear guidelines could make it easier to transfer the information between the different units. Clinical significance: Risk of error or misunderstandings are reduced in a common journal system, which we believe increases the patient safety.

Towards terminology-based keyword extraction

Krassow, Cornelius January 2022 (has links)
The digitization of information has provided an overflow of data in many areas of society, including the clinical sector. However, confidentiality issues concerning the privacy of both clinicians and patients have hampered research into how to best deal with this kind of "clinical" data. An example of clinical data which can be found in abundance are Electronic Medical Records, or EMR for short. EMRs contain information about a patient's medical history, such as summarizes of earlier visits, prescribed medications and more. These EMRs can be quite extensive and reading them in full can be time-consuming, especially when considering the often hectic nature of hospital work. Giving clinicians the ability to gain insight into what information is of importance when dealing with extensive EMRs might be very useful. Keyword extraction are methods developed in the field of language technology that aim to automatically extract the most important terms or phrases from a text. Applying these methods on EMR data successfully could help provide the clinicians with a helping hand when short on time. Clinical data are very domain-specific however, requiring different kinds of expert knowledge depending on what field of medicine is being investigated. Due to the scarcity of research on not only clinical keyword extractions but clinical data as a whole, foundational groundwork in how to best deal with the domain-specific demands of a clinical keyword extractor need to be laid. By exploring how the two unsupervised approaches YAKE! and KeyBERT deal with the domain-specific task of implant-focused keyword extraction, the limitations of clinical keyword extraction are tested. Furthermore, the performance of a general BERT model in comparison to a model finetuned on domain-specific data is investigated. Finally, an attempt is made to create a domain-specific set of gold-standard keywords by combining unsupervised approaches to keyword extraction is made. The results show that unsupervised approaches perform poorly when dealing with domain-specific tasks that do not have a clear correlation to the main domain of the data. Finetuned BERT models seem to perform almost as well as a general model when tasked with implant-focused keyword extraction, although further research is needed. Finally, the use of unsupervised approaches in conjunction with manual evaluations provided by domain experts show some promise.

Driving Towards Sustainability : Ethical Data Gathering and Sustainable Driving Practices for Environmental Stewardship

Söderbergh, Oscar January 2024 (has links)
This thesis integrates scoring, gamification, and Corporate Sustainability Reporting(CSR) to encourage sustainable behaviours through electronic driving journals. As environmental stewardship becomes increasingly important, the European Union's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) mandates greater transparency in reporting environmental, social, and governance (ESG) activities. In this context, driving journals in Sweden, primarily used to distinguish between professional and personal vehicle use, emerge as a critical factor in influencing sustainable practices. The study explores the potential of scoring and gamification, which involves incorporating game-design elements into non-game contexts to transform routine compliance activities into engaging processes that promote sustainable behaviour. By combining these journals with the requirements of the CSRD, the research examines their effectiveness in fostering an environmentally conscious driving culture among corporate fleets and individual users. The study employs a multidimensional approach, which involves conducting a comprehensive literature review, analysing the market, and practically applying the findings with Northtracker, a leading driving journal provider. The goal is to examine how aligning Northtracker's systems with CSRD guidelines can help promote and comply with sustainable practices by enhancing user engagement. The results indicate that incorporating scoring and gamified elements within driving journals can effectively increase user participation and compliance, leading to a measurable reduction in environmental impact resulting from improved driving habits. Nonetheless, the study highlights several challenges, such as privacy concerns, data accuracy, and user acceptance, which require a balanced approach to scoring and gamification in sustainability initiatives. The thesis concludes by recommending strategic actions that policymakers and corporations can take to exploit this integration's potential fully. These implications go beyond the immediate scope of driving journals and offer valuable insights into the broader application of scoring and gamification in environmental sustainability efforts.

Open Source in Higher Education: A Situational Analysis of the Open Journal Systems Software Project

Quint-Rapoport, Mia 01 March 2011 (has links)
This research study looks at digital academic space, which is defined here as web-based digitally mediated artifacts produced by universities and their members. Open source software projects and the Open Access movement play large roles within digital academic space, not only because of their strong historical academic roots, but also because these projects are growing in prevalence in many universities. Framed by theories from the field of higher education and media studies, this research study is an analysis of the dynamics and effects of one open source software project that produces Open Access electronic journals. The software system, called the Open Journal Systems (OJS), originally developed by an education professor from a Canadian university, has been adopted by thousands of universities world- wide to publish electronic peer reviewed academic journals. OJS users distributed at universities throughout the world have contributed software code back to the system, by for example, creating translation modules enabling users to publish journals in a range of languages thus adding an interesting global dimension to the project. Based on interviews with the OJS software developers, administrators, and users, as well as a range of material culled from online, this situational analysis of the OJS sketches out the conditions, dynamics, discourses and professional identities that form the basis of an emerging phenomenon within universities that is named here the digitally mediated open research project (DMORP
