Effets des facteurs situationnels perçus sur le comportement de consommation circulaire du plastique durable par le rôle médiateur de l’attitude environnementale
Get PDFCe mémoire examine les effets des facteurs situationnels perçus tels que la commodité perçue, le coût perçu, la durée perçue et l'effort perçu, liés au recyclage du plastique durable, sur le comportement de consommation circulaire du plastique durable. Il examine également le rôle médiateur de l'attitude environnementale dans cette relation. L'objectif essentiel de cette recherche est de mieux comprendre la relation tripartite entre les facteurs situationnels, le comportement de consommation circulaire du plastique durable avec le rôle médiateur de l’attitude environnementale. La méthodologie de recherche adoptée est une méthode quantitative, avec un questionnaire en ligne administré à un échantillon de 1000 répondants de toutes les provinces du Canada. Les données collectées ont été analysées à l'aide de techniques statistiques telles que l'analyse factorielle et le logiciel SPSS. Les résultats de cette recherche mettent en lumière l'impact positif des facteurs situationnels perçus sur l'attitude environnementale. La perception d’une plus grande commodité, un coût perçu plus faible, une durée perçue plus courte et un effort perçu réduit liés au recyclage du plastique durable favorisent l’adoption d’une attitude environnementale positive. De plus, le bilan de cette recherche montre la relation positive entre l'attitude environnementale au comportement de consommation circulaire du plastique durable. Cette recherche illustre également les liens importants entre les attitudes environnementales et les comportements de consommation circulaire de plastique. Par ailleurs, il est nécessaire de préciser qu’à travers cette étude, il existe une relation médiatrice, notamment partielle, entre l’attitude environnementale et le comportement de consommation circulaire du plastique. Ce travail de recherche explore comment les attitudes influencent le comportement de consommation circulaire du plastique et quel rôle médiateur jouent les attitudes dans le contexte spécifique de la consommation cyclique de plastiques. Elle fournira des informations importantes et contribuera ainsi à une meilleure compréhension des déterminants du comportement de consommation circulaire du plastique. Une autre constatation majeure de cette étude réside dans la démonstration du rôle médiateur de l'attitude environnementale. Les facteurs situationnels perçus influencent directement l'attitude environnementale, qui à son tour influence le comportement de consommation circulaire du plastique. Cette recherche offre des perspectives pour enrichir la littérature sur les pratiques de consommation plus durables dans le contexte de l’économie circulaire, et pour alimenter la réflexion managériale des chefs de projets.
This dissertation examines the effects of perceived situational factors such as perceived convenience, perceived cost, perceived duration and perceived effort, related to sustainable plastic recycling, on the circular consumption behavior of sustainable plastic. It also examines the mediating role of environmental attitude in this relationship. The essential aim of this research is to better understand the tripartite relationship between situational factors, circular consumption behavior with the mediating role of environmental attitude. The research methodology adopted is a quantitative one, with an online questionnaire administered to a sample of 1,000 respondents from all Canadian provinces. The data collected were analyzed using statistical techniques such as factor analysis and SPSS software. The results of this research highlight the positive impact of perceived situational factors on environmental attitude. The perception of greater convenience, lower perceived cost, shorter perceived duration and reduced perceived effort associated with the recycling of sustainable plastic favor the adoption of a positive environmental attitude. In addition, the results of this research show the positive relationship between environmental attitude and the circular consumption behavior of sustainable plastic. This research also illustrates the important links between environmental attitudes and circular plastic consumption behavior. It should also be pointed out that, through this study, there is a mediating relationship, notably a partial one, between environmental attitudes and circular plastic consumption behaviour. This research explores how attitudes influence circular plastic behavior, and what mediating role attitudes play in the specific context of cyclical plastic consumption. It will provide important information and thus contribute to a better understanding of the determinants of sustainable behavior. Another major finding of this study is the demonstration of the mediating role of environmental attitude. Perceived situational factors directly influence environmental attitude, which in turn influences sustainable plastic circular consumption behavior. This research offers prospects for enriching the literature on more sustainable consumption practices in the context of the circular economy, and for informing the managerial thinking of project managers
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
