    No full text
    تتعرض شركات التأمين للعديد من المخاطر، سواء أكانت من مصادر داخلية، أم خارجية تهدد قدرتها في تحقيق أهدافها فيما يتعلق بالعمليات، والتقارير المالية، والالتزام بالقوانين، حيث يجب على الإدارة تحديدها والتصدي لها من خلال تقييم المخاطر الذي يمثل إجراءات الإدارة لتحديد كل خطر، تحليله ومواجهته وتتمثل عملية تقييم المخاطر في تحديد وتقييم وإدارة والتحكم في الأحداث المحتملة والأوضاع القائمة لتزويد توكيدات وضمانات معقولة باتجاه الوصول إلى أهداف الشركة توفر إدارة المخاطر نهجاً واضحاً ومنظماً لتحديد وقياس وتحديد أولويات المخاطر من أجل اتخاذ الإجراءات المناسبة للحد من الخسائر فممارسة إدارة المخاطر لا يمنع المخاطر، ولكن يقلل منها، ومع ذلك فإن تنفيذ الالتزام يشير إلى أن الشركة ملتزمة بتحسين كفاءة العمليات.   Insurance companies are exposed to many risks, whether from internal or external sources that threaten their ability to achieve their goals in terms of operations, financial reports, and compliance with laws, where management must define and address them through a risk assessment that represents management procedures to identify each risk, analyze it And counter it The risk assessment process consists in identifying, evaluating, managing and controlling potential events and existing conditions to provide reasonable assurances and guarantees towards reaching the company's goals. Risk management provides a clear and systematic approach to identifying, measuring, and prioritizing risks in order to take appropriate measures to reduce losses. The practice of risk management does not prevent risks, but reduces them. However, the implementation of the commitment indicates that the company is committed to improving the efficiency of operations

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    International standard auditing and their effective role in devising corporate governance to reduce financial corruption: معايير التدقيق الدولية ودورها الفعال في تكريس حوكمة الشركات للحد من الفساد المالي والإداري

    جاءت هذه الدراسة لمعرفة الدور التي تلعبه معايير التدقيق الدولية الصادرة عن الاتحاد الدولي للمحاسبين في تكريس حوكمة الشركات وإرساء مبادئها للحد من ظاهرة الفساد خاصة بعد الانهيارات المالية الدولية، مع الاستعانة بتجارب بعض الدول المتقدمة والنامية، وقد تم التوصل إلى بعض النتائج أبرزها أن تطبيق الحوكمة في الدول المتقدمة كان له اهتمام كبير نظرا للازمات التي شهدتها هذه الدول عكس الدول النامية لم يكن الاهتمام كبير نظرا لعدم إلزامية التطبيق. وكذا اتضح أنه يكمن دور معايير التدقيق الدولية في تكريس حوكمة الشركات من خلال المعايير التي يضمن التطبيق الجيد للإجراءات والسياسات الإدارية وتكريس مبادئ الحوكمة للحد من الفساد المالي والإداري، وكذا المساعدة في التقليل من مخاطر الأزمات المالية نظرا لدورها الرقابي    This study is a study of the role played by the International Standards Auditing issued by the International Federation of Accountants in the establishment of corporate governance and the establishment of its principles to reduce the phenomenon of corruption, especially after the international financial meltdowns, using the experiences of some developed and developing countries. Developed countries had a great interest due to the crises experienced by these countries unlike the developing countries did not pay great attention due to the non-mandatory application. The role of international auditing standards lies in the consolidation of corporate governance through standards that ensure good application of administrative procedures and policies and devise the principles of governance to reduce financial and administrative corruption, as well as help mitigate the risks of financial crises due to their supervisory role. &nbsp

    Variations on the Author

    “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 PDF
    We 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

    We 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 text
    We 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
