STRESS PROFESSIONNEL ET CONSOMMATION DE SUBSTANCES PSYCHOACTIVES CHEZ LES TRAVAILLEURS DUNE USINE DE CABLAGE AU MAROC
No full textThe use of psychoactive substances of various types (tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, psychotropic drugs or others) in the workplace has received greater attention for some years now. However, this field remains unexplored in Morocco.The consumption of psychoactive substances could be considered as a catalyst for psychological ailments triggered by pathogenic factors resulting from the professional environment.
Objective- Our study aims to explore potential correlation between these two phenomena, namely the role of job pressures work stressors on the use or excessive consumption of psychoactive substances.
Method- A qualitative and quantitative study was conducted with a sample of 405 employed (288 men and 117 women) in a wiring factory in Morocco to assess occupational stress and substance use, as well as any potential links between these two variables.
Results- Our study revealed that our population has clinical manifestations of psychological stress and 89 employees, or 21.98%, consume psychoactive substances. Tobacco is the most consumed substance, followed by alcohol, cannabis, psychotropic drugs and then other psychoactive substances.
Conclusion- There is a correlation between psychoactive substances consumption and clinical manifestations of psychological stress
Impact du stress professionnel sur la consommation de substances psychoactives chez les employés d'une usine de câblage au Maroc
Get PDFL'usage de substances psychoactives (SPAs) en milieu professionnel est de plus en plus étudié. Cette recherche explore la relation entre les facteurs professionnels, les symptômes de stress psychologique et la consommation de SPAs chez les travailleurs d'une usine de câblage au Maroc. L’industrie automobile, secteur crucial de l'économie marocaine, impose des conditions de travail difficiles.Une étude quantitative menée auprès de 405 employés montre que la concentration, la surcharge, les longues heures de travail et la monotonie sont les principaux facteurs de stress, corrélés à la consommation de SPAs. Le tabac est la substance la plus consommée (M=2 ,66), suivi de l’alcool (M=1,94), du cannabis (M=1,79) et des sédatifs (M=1,45), avec une corrélation positive entre les symptômes psychologiques de stress et la consommation de ces substances : tabac (r =. 232*), alcool (r =. 305**), cannabis (r =. 389**). Les femmes, plus touchées par le stress, consomment davantage de sédatifs.Le stress professionnel semble affecter les femmes de manière plus prononcée que les hommes, accroît la consommation de SPAs comme mécanisme de soulagement des symptômes de stress, de détente, ou pour leurs effets apaisants. Le stress apparaît comme un catalyseur majeur de la diminution de la satisfaction au travail et de la performance, tandis que la consommation de SPAs constitue une réponse pour pallier l'épuisement psychologique causé par des facteurs professionnels oppressants
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
