Participation et contribution des médecins généralistes aux contrats locaux de santé de La Réunion. Étude transversale descriptive auprès des coordinateurs locaux
No full textBackground :,Réunion Island are experiencing an increase in social and territorial health inequalities (STHI), despite an overall improvement in health status In 2009, public health policies saw the advent of a tool advocating as one of its main missions the reduction of these STHI: the local health contract (LHC). Co-developed by local health stakeholders, territorial authorities, and health institutions, these contracts aim to address the health determinants of a population within a specific area, based on a locally relevant diagnosis at the territorial level. The primary objective of this study was to determine the participation of general practitioners in LHCs on Réunion Island. Secondary objectives were to assess the deployment of LHCs across the territory and to identify factors influencing the engagement of general practitioners within these contracts.Method : This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted using responses to a survey targeting LHC coordinators. The study surveyed all active LHC coordinators on Réunion Island, a quarter of the respondents not completing the survey.Results : 12 coordinators of CLS out of the 16 identified responded. In 2024, 58% reported working in collaboration with one or more doctors, totaling 21 doctors, including 12 general practitioners, out of the 1,229 general practitioners on the island, collaborating with 6 CLS. The main reasons cited for this low proportion include the lack of recognition for doctors participating in the programs, the organizational incompatibility of private practice with this tool, and the lack of visibility of CLS among primary care professionals. Although half of the CLS have at least one participating doctor focused on a public health issue within their structure, all programs collaborate with coordinated care organizations. The main public health topics addressed by the CLS, in descending order, are: promotion of physical activity and the fight against obesity and malnutrition for 100% of CLS; combating addictions for 92% of CLS; autonomy and social inclusion for 75% of CLS; mental health for 75% of CLS; and sexual health for 50% of CLS.Conclusion : This study highlighted the low participation of general practitioners in CLS in Réunion and provides insights into the factors influencing their involvement. It also sheds light on the distribution of CLS and their public health focus areas. The study offers perspectives on improving the participation of general practitioners as well as amplifying the citizen's voice in these public health tools.Introduction : La Réunion connaît un accroissement des inégalités sociales et territoriales de santé (ISTS) malgré un meilleur état de santé global. Les politiques de santé publique voient en 2009 l’avènement d’un outil prônant comme une de ses missions principales la réduction de ces ISTS : le contrat local de santé (CLS). Coconstruits entre acteurs locaux de santé, collectivités territoriales et institution sanitaire, ils doivent permettre d’agir sur les déterminants de santé d’un bassin de population en se basant sur un diagnostic local pertinent à l’échelle du territoire. L’objectif primaire de cette étude était de déterminer la participation des médecins généralistes aux CLS sur l’île de La Réunion. Les objectifs secondaires étaient d’apprécier le déploiement des CLS sur le territoire et de discerner des facteurs à l’engagement des médecins généralistes au sein des CLS.Méthode : Il s’agit d’une étude descriptive transversale réalisée par questionnaire auto-administré à destination des coordinateurs des CLS la totalité des coordinateurs de CLS actifs sur à La Réunion ont été interrogés, un quart des interrogés n’a pas répondu à l’enquête.Résultats : 12 coordonnateurs de CLS sur les 16 identifiés ont répondu. En 2024, 58% mentionnent travailler en lien avec un ou plusieurs médecins soit 21 médecins dont 12 généralistes sur les 1229 médecins généralistes de l’île collaborant avec 6 CLS. Les principales raisons évoquées pour justifier cette faible proportion sont : la non valorisation des médecins participants aux dispositifs, l’incompatibilité organisationnelle de la pratique libérale avec cet outil, ainsi que le manque de visibilité du CLS auprès des acteurs de soins primaires. Bien qu’une moitié des CLS ont au moins un médecin participant sur un axe de santé publique en leur sein, la totalité des dispositifs collaborent avec des structures de soins coordonnés. Les principaux thèmes de santé publique traités par les CLS sont par ordre décroissant : la promotion de l’activité physique et la lutte contre l’obésité et la malnutrition pour 100% des CLS ; lutte contre les addictions pour 92% des CLS ; l’autonomie et inclusion sociale pour 75% des CLS ; la santé mentale pour 75 % des CLS ; la santé sexuelle pour 50% des CLS.Conclusion : Cette étude a permis de mettre en lumière une faible participation des médecins généralistes au CLS à La Réunion et fournit des orientations sur les déterminants de leur participation. Elle permet également de connaître la diffusion des CLS et leurs axes de santé publique. Elle offre des perspectives pour améliorer la participation des médecins généralistes mais également pour faire entendre la voix citoyenne dans ses outils de santé publique
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

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.
