    In this study, the researcher seeks to use empirical data to analyze the impact of industries on the Senegalese economy. The paper used secondary data from the World Bank and Senegal's National Statistics and Demography Agency (ANSD) and covered the period between 1960 to 2016.The research employed the specification model and selected variables underlying the hypotheses for the study in prior expectations. The methodology used for the study is descriptive analysis. At the end of this study, it was be concluded that the methodology adopted was the participatory method, which is an interactive research model based on both theoretical and empirical analyzes. The ARDL most revealed short-and long-term correlations between variables were also used to determine the impact of the industrial sector on Senegalese economic growth as well as the factors that influence it. Between 1980-2016, empirical research was conducted to examine the industrial sector and its impact on economic growth.

    Audit interne et gouvernance financière publique au Mali : revue narrative structurée et cadre d’opérationnalisation de la valeur ajoutée

    Full text link
    Les administrations publiques maliennes sont, de nos jours, confrontées à de multiples risques : mauvaise gouvernance, mauvaise gestion, fraude, corruption, etc.... Ainsi, il serait nécessaire que celles-ci se dotent d’outils de pilotage et de contrôle efficaces : services de contrôles, inspections, bureau de vérification, audit interne, .... L’objectif de cette étude est d’évaluer la valeur ajoutée créée par l’audit interne à la gouvernance financière dans le secteur public au Mali sur la période de 2020 à nos jours. Il s’agit donc d’une opinion sur fondement de laquelle nous avons fait une revue documentaire du rôle de l’audit interne au sein des administrations maliennes. Toutefois, il est défini par l’IIA comme « un service d'assurance et de conseil indépendant et objectif, conçu pour créer de la valeur et améliorer les opérations d'une organisation. Il aide une organisation à atteindre ses objectifs en adoptant une approche systématique et rigoureuse pour évaluer et améliorer l'efficacité des processus de gouvernance, de management des risques et de contrôle ». Par conséquent, nous recommandons de retenir cette définition. La méthodologie adoptée reposera sur une approche qualitative et documentaire fondée sur une revue narrative de la littérature

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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 link
    We 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 text
    We 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
