Interprétation et mise en valeur du patrimoine naturel et culturel, matériel et immatériel dans les parc nationaux-Cas du Parc National Historique : Citadelle, Sans-Souci, Ramiers de la Républuique d’Haïti
No full textCette thèse vise à proposer un programme global d’interprétation qui intègre les patrimoines naturel et culturel, matériel et immatériel, en s’inspirant des principes internationaux d’interprétation venant de pratiques diverses (parcs nationaux, musées, lieux historiques) et de leur application à la totalité d’un site patrimonial, dans un contexte de pays du Sud. Elle présente le cas du Parc National Historique : Citadelle, Sans-Souci, Ramiers (PNH-CSSR) le plus important des sites patrimoniaux et touristiques d’Haïti car il comprend des monuments considérés comme symboles de l’identité historique nationale. Inscrit depuis 1982 sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO, ce parc ne disposait pas encore de programme d’interprétation. Ainsi, l’étude vient combler cette lacune en proposant un outil complet d’interprétation qui tient compte des potentialités du site tout en montrant comment il peut contribuer à sa mise en valeur optimale. Utilisant une approche pluridisciplinaire, la recherche repose sur des observations participantes et des entrevues semi directives ainsi qu’un corpus composé de documents historiques et ethnographiques. Le programme de mise en valeur mobilise des représentations théâtrales et musicales, des expositions muséales virtuelle et réelle, des brochures, des panneaux d’interprétation et de signalisation ainsi que des guides locaux formés sur le site. Il met l’accent sur la participation locale à travers des activités d’animation, la transmission des valeurs du site, des produits d’interprétation, et des services culturels essentiels destinés à soutenir le développement du tourisme durable sur le site. Liant la pratique à la théorie, la thèse comprend une phase d’expérimentation sur le site du programme d’interprétation proposé. L’évaluation de l’application du programme d’interprétation a montré que celui-ci est adapté aux besoins actuels et futurs du parc, aux objectifs formulés par l’État haïtien pour le développement touristique de la région et du site, aux attentes des résidents et des visiteurs présents ou potentiels. Ce travail de recherche constitue une contribution pionnière à l’avancement des connaissances dans le domaine de l’interprétation du patrimoine, particulièrement en Haïti. Ce programme d’interprétation original voudrait servir de modèle pour l’ensemble des parcs nationaux du pays, voire même pour d’autres parcs nationaux dans le monde.The purpose of this essay is to propose a global program of interpretation, which integrates the different kinds of heritage, natural and cultural, tangible and intangible. It takes its inspiration from the international principles of interpretation arising out of various practices (followed, for example, by national parks, museums, historic sites) and their application to the overall values of a park, understood as a heritage site in the context of a developing country. The case study presented is that of the National Historic Park: Citadelle, Sans-Souci, Ramiers (PNH-CSSR), Haiti’s most significant heritage and tourist site, which includes monuments considered as symbols of the national historic identity. On the UNESCO world heritage list since 1982, this park has, as yet, no program of interpretation. As a result, the study sets out to fill this gap by proposing a complete interpretative program that takes into account all the potential of PNH-CSSR, while showing how this tool can help accentuate its best qualities. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the study is based on participant observations and semi-directive interviews along with a corpus made up of historical and ethnographic documents. The interpretation process puts into use a host of resources, such as theatrical performances, musical presentations, museum exhibitions both virtual and real, brochures, interpretive panels and signage, and local guides trained on site. In this way, emphasis is laid on local participation through group activities, the communication of the site’s values and interpretive products along with essential cultural services for the development on the site of sustainable tourism. Joining practice to theory, this essay includes an experimental phase on the site of the proposed interpretive program. Assessing the application of this program has shown it to be adapted to both the current and future needs of the park, to the goals set by the Haitian State for touristic development in the region and at the site, to the expectations of residents and of visitors, those at present and those to come. This research constitutes a pioneering endeavour to assist in the advancement of knowledge in the field of heritage interpretation, especially in Haiti. This original interpretive program seeks to serve as a model for that country’s national parks as a whole and, further, for national parks worldwide

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
