Les déterminants de l'adoption des services du e-gouvernement : Cas des Agences Urbaines au Maroc
No full textDuring the 21st century, many states have opted for the provision of public services via the Internet in order to improve accessibility and quality of services. In a country like Morocco, which is full of economic growth, the need to deploy services via the Internet is very obvious. However, despite efforts to promote the use of online administration systems, the usage rate remains low. This phenomenon is a major obstacle to the successful implementation of these systems. These online government services are influenced by various factors such as technology, government policies, user behavior, and socio-economic barriers that can impact their quality and use. The low rate of end-user adoption and use of online administration services remains, therefore, a major obstacle to the successful implementation of online administration. This percussive study tries to diagnose the factors that influence the adoption by citizens of e-services by urban agencies in Morocco. These institutions play an important role in the dynamics of investment in Morocco. To do this, a research model was built on the basis of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) using its variables, which are perceived utility, perceived ease of use, and intention of use, as well as other variables such as social influence, user satisfaction, and trust. In addition, citizens’ demographic factors, namely gender, age, education, and Internet experience, are considered moderating variables in the model.

Paper type: Theoretical Research Au cours du XXIe siècle, de nombreux États ont opté pour la fourniture de services publics via Internet afin d'améliorer l'accessibilité et la qualité des prestations. Dans un pays comme le Maroc, qui est plein essor économique, la nécessité de déployer des services via l'internet est très évidente. Cependant, malgré les efforts déployés pour promouvoir l'utilisation des systèmes d'administration en ligne, le taux d'utilisation reste faible. Ce phénomène constitue un obstacle majeur à la mise en œuvre réussie de ces systèmes. Ces services gouvernementaux en ligne sont influencés par différents facteurs tels que la technologie, les politiques gouvernementales, les comportements des utilisateurs et les barrières socio-économiques qui peuvent avoir un impact sur leur qualité et leur utilisation. Le faible taux d'adoption et d'utilisation des services d'administration en ligne par les utilisateurs finaux reste donc un obstacle majeur à la mise en œuvre réussie de l'administration en ligne. La présente étude percusseuse tente de diagnostiquer les facteurs qui influencent l’adoption par les citoyens des e-services des Agences Urbaines au Maroc, ces institutions ont un rôle important dans la dynamique de l’investissement au Maroc. Pour ce faire, un modèle de recherche a été construit sur la base du modèle d’acceptation des technologies (TAM) en utilisant ses variables qui sont l’utilité perçue, la facilité d’utilisation perçue et l’intention d’utilisation aussi d’autres variables lui ont été greffées comme l’influence sociale, la satisfaction des utilisateurs et la confiance. En plus, les facteurs démographiques des citoyens à savoir le genre, l'âge, l'éducation et l'expérience de l'Internet sont considérés comme des variables modératrices dans le modèle.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
