COVID-19 and a trade-off between health and economics: An extended inoperability model for Italy
No full textThe recent COVID-19 has obliged governments to enact large-scale policies to contain it. A topic of economic debate is the quantification of the impact that these policies can create in the economy, with the aim of activating regulatory mechanisms to minimize this impact. In this vein, this study aims to propose a quantification of the effects of the Italian government policy that blocks nonessential production activities
Impact de l’IPO sur les clubs de football professionnels
No full textDans les années 1990 et 2000, de nombreux clubs de football professionnel (CFP) ont été inscrits sur les marchés boursiers. Le succès des IPO sur les marchés du football, en particulier dans le domaine des performances sportives et financières, est incertain. Ainsi, nombreux recherches académiques empiriques ont été préconisées pour examiner la performance financière des IPO dans ces clubs. De telles recherches ont révélé que la performance financière des clubs cotés a diminuée. La plupart de ces recherches indiquent qu'il existe une relation entre la performance sportive et la performance financière dans ces clubs. Cependant, les chercheurs n'ont pas déterminé les facteurs de ce phénomène. Pour combler cette lacune dans la littérature antérieure, la thèse vise à identifier les facteurs déterminants de la performance sportive et financière listés dans CFP et à les comparer avec les déterminants des performances sportives et financières des CFP au Moyen-Orient.Cette thèse fournit d'autres preuves empiriques sur la relation entre la performance sportive et la performance financière dans les CFP listés. Le plus important est que les résultats de la thèse fournissent un nombre de facteurs déterminants qui affectent la performance sportive et financière dans les CFP. Parmi les résultats intéressants, on peut citer l’existence de facteurs similaires et différents entre les clubs de football européens et les clubs de football du Moyen-Orient. Cela semble être confirmé par le fait que le marché et les tournois et les règlements sont différents. De plus, l’impact des spectateurs est un résultat intéressant, dans lequel leur effet sur la performance financière est indirect, alors qu’il est direct sur la performance sportive. Cependant, la juste valeur du club est incertaine en raison du manque de divulgation et de détail des informations comptables. Nous suggérons donc d'améliorer la gouvernance d'entreprise pour améliorer la transparence et la responsabilité. De plus, la thèse suggère que la perspective de la gestion stratégique est un facteur important pour traiter la performance financière non durable des CFP, en particulier à long terme afin de mesurer la juste valeur du club. Cela a conduit à gagner en pertinence compte tenu de l’importance de la gestion stratégique dans les futures recherches universitaires. Ainsi, nous pouvons poser la question suivante: dans quelle mesure l’introduction en bourse est-elle durable dans les clubs de football professionnels?In 1990s and 2000s many professional soccer (PSCs) clubs have been listed IPO in stock markets. The success of IPO in soccer markets, especially in the field of sports and financial performance is uncertain. Thus, number of empirical academic researches have been advocated to examine financial performance of IPO in these clubs. Such researches found financial performance of listed clubs is declined. Most of those researches indicate there is relationship between sports performance and financial performance in those listed clubs. However, researchers have not determine the factors of this phenomenon. To bridge this gap in the past literature, thesis aims to identify the determining factors of sports and financial performance in listed PSCs and to compare them with determinants of sports and financial performance of PSCs in Middle East.This thesis provides further empirical evidence on the relationship between sports and financial performance in listed PSCs. More importantly, results of thesis provide number of determining factors that affect sports and financial performance in PSCs. An interesting results, there are some similar and dissimilar factors between European soccer clubs and Middle east soccer clubs. This seemed to be confirmed by the fact that market and tournament and regulations are different. Furthermore, impact of spectators is interesting result, in which their effect on financial performance is indirect, while direct on sports performance. Yet, fair value of club is uncertain because lack of disclosure and detail accounting information. Thus, we suggest improving corporate governance to enhance transparency and accountability. Moreover, thesis suggest that strategic management perspective is important factor to treat unsustainable financial performance of PSCs, especially in long term in order to measure fair value of club. This lead to gain more relevance considering the importance of strategic management in future academic researches. Thus, we can raise the following question is to which extent IPO is sustainable in professional soccer clubs
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
