La surmortalité urbaine : le cas de la Wallonie et de Bruxelles à la fin du XIXe siècle (1889-1892)
No full textMortality in towns over history has often been higher than in the country. In spite of progress in the field of public and individual hygiene, this excess urban mortality had not disappeared by the end of the XIXth century. On the contrary, the irresistible attraction of the urban world -a consequence of the XIXth century industrialization- only increased the contrast between town and country. Life expectancy at birth decreased with increasing numbers in towns. Within the towns themselves, social distinction in matters of death was striking ; between the upper class and the poor sector, mortality could actually double. This excess urban mortality did make a distinction between age groups. Children aged between 0 and 5 years old and adults aged over 30 were amongst the prime targets. Similarly, men and women in towns were not affected to the same degree ; men of economically active ages were more often affected.La mortalité des villes a souvent dépassé, au cours de l'histoire, celle des campagnes. Malgré les progrès en matière d'hygiène publique et privée, cette surmortalité urbaine n'a pas disparu à la fin du XIXe siècle. Au contraire, l'irrésistible poussée du monde urbain, conséquence de l'industrialisation du XIXe siècle, n'a fait qu'accroître le contraste entre villes et campagnes. L'espérance de vie à la naissance diminue à mesure que l'on progresse dans le peuplement des villes. Cependant, la surmortalité urbaine n'apparaît réellement qu'au-delà de 20 000 habitants. A l'intérieur même des villes, l'inégalité sociale devant la mort est frappante ; entre classe aisée et classe pauvre, la mortalité peut varier du simple au double. Cette surmortalité urbaine ne frappe pas indistinctement selon les âges. Les enfants de 0 à 5 ans et les adultes de plus de 30 ans figurent parmi ses cibles privilégiées. De même, la mort ne frappa pas avec la même intensité les nommes et les femmes des villes ; les hommes d'âges actifs sont davantage touchés.Eggerickx Thierry, Debuisson Marc.

Les généalogies ascendantes et l'héritabilité des comportements démographiques
No full textA potential "heritability" of demographic behaviors could be stressed out by an ascendant genealogic approach. A sample of 500 people was ramdomly constituted. For each one, were known his year of birth, death, wedding and one of his children's year of birth. These data should be available for his parents. Eventhough we just consider people who effectively gave birth, we thus compare them in analogical demographic situations. Calculating correlation coefficients between ages of wedding, death and birth of a child shows a non-heritability of demographic behaviors although small positive correlation is perceptible in fecondity habits.Une "héritabilité" éventuelle des comportements démographiques peut être mise en évidence par une étude des généalogies ascendantes. Un échantillon de 500 individus a été constitué de manière aléatoire. Pour chacun, les dates de naissance, décès, mariage et la date de naissance d'un de ses enfants étaient connues. Ces mêmes données étaient fournies pour ses parents. Bien que nous n'ayons considéré que des gens ayant donné effectivement naissance, le biais de notre échantillon est résolu dès lors que nous comparons des individus se trouvant dans une situation démographique semblable. Le calcul de coefficients de corrélation entre les âges au mariage, à la fécondité et au décès montre une absence d'héritabilité des comportements démographiques bien qu'une légère corrélation positive soit perceptible dans le domaine de la fécondité.Poulain Michel, Debuisson Marc.

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
