LE FINANCEMENT DES PME DU SOUSS MASSA DRAA, UNE PLACE POUR LES SUKUKS ?
Full text linkThis paper aims at studying the extent to which sukuks can be a financing choice for SMEs in Souss Massa Draa in Morocco. To do this, we chose the non-probabilistic sampling method that appears to be the best adopted in our work. The results showed a total predisposition of SMEs in the Souss Massa region to resort to the Sukuks
The financing of tourism investment
Full text linkLe secteur touristique, fort de ses potentialités a pu retenir l’attention de plusieurs acteurs économiques. Parmi ces acteurs on trouve les investisseurs. Ces acteurs ont pris le choix d’investir dans ce secteur promoteur mais se trouvent confrontés à une panoplie de contraintes qui entravent leurs bons démarrages ainsi que la survie de leurs entités. Le fameux problème est celui de financement. Dans ce contexte la problématique à laquelle nous essayons d’apporter des éléments de réponse est la suivante : Dans quelle mesure les différents modes de financement des investissements touristiques répondent-ils aux aspirations des dirigeants d’établissements touristiques ?
À l’issue d’une revue de littérature, nous avons présenté les différents modes de financement utilisés par les entités touristiques, ainsi que les principaux enjeux liés essentiellement au financement.
Après l’achèvement de l’opération de la conception d’enquête par sondage, on a présenté les principaux résultats trouvés ; qui ont montré que les dirigeants enquêtés des deux régions Guelmim oued Noun et Souss Massa souffrent vraiment des problèmes de financement pour assurer la bonne continuité de leurs entités, ainsi que les subventions octroyées par l’État sont insuffisantes.The potential of the tourism sector has attracted the attention of a number of economic players. These players include investors. These players have chosen to invest in this promising sector but are faced with a whole range of constraints that are hampering their start-ups and the survival of their businesses. The main problem is financing. In this context, the issue to which we are trying to provide some answers is as follows: to what extent do the various methods of financing tourism investments meet the aspirations of tourism establishment managers?
Following a literature review, we presented the different methods of financing used by tourism entities, as well as the main issues linked essentially to financing.
After the completion of the sample survey design operation, we presented the main results found, which showed that the managers surveyed in the two regions of Guelmim oued Noun and Souss Massa are really suffering from financing problems to ensure the good continuity of their entities, and that the subsidies granted by the State are insufficient
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
