Limites de pays et organisation spatiale. L'exemple du Nord des Deux-Sèvres
No full textSUMMARY
The Northern part of the Deux-Sèvres Department includes three quite distinct régions : Bocage, Plaine, Gâtine.
The author, with the help of numerous criteria proposes regional boundaries as precise as possible to the regions.
He notices that these boundaries have had considerable influence upon the organization of environment : heterogeneity of the Cantons on either side of these towns being in the centre of every region. Noticing, therefore, that the demographic an economic bases of each region is inadequate to build up a pleasant urban structure and satisfy fully the needs of the populations both present and future. The author suggests three schemes of environmental organization to be part of a new conception of the regions and administrative districts.</jats:p
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
L'élevage bovin et les transformations récentes des systèmes de productions agricoles en Deux-Sèvres
No full textINHALTSANGABE
Um die Viehzucht im Departement Deux-Sèvres zu behandeln, benutzt der Autor neue Quellen und zieht die Informatik zu Rate. Diese Art des Vorgehens erlaubt ihm sehr genaue räumliche Analysen, die manchmal durch eine sehr neue Verfahrensweise erstellt wurden, betreffend zum Beispiel die wirlschaf- tliche Ballung der Viehzucht. Aber um die aktuelle Situation und die jüngere Entwicklung der Viehzucht besser verstehen zu können slellt der Autor seine Studie standig in eine viel weiter gefasste Perspeklive, die es ihm erlaubt eine Gesamlheit von Faktoren vor Augen zu haben die das System der Agrarproduktion mehr oder minder begunsligen.SUMMARY
In his study of cattle-breeding in the Deux-Sèvres area, the author has drawn from new sources and submitted his findings to data-processing. This approach brings high precision to his spatial analyses which are occasionally of a relatively new type ; the economic concentration of livestock being a case in point.
Moreover, in order to improve his review of the present situation and of the recent evolution of cattle-breeding, the author constantly places his survey within a much broader perspective, thus bringing into bearing a whole range of factors capable of boosting to a certain degree the development of the agricultural systems in practice in the area considered.RÉSUMÉ
Pour étudier l'élevage bovin en Deux-Sèvres l'auteur utilise de nouvelles sources et fait appel au traitement informatique. Cette démarche lui permet de faire des analyses spatiales très précises et parfois d'un type assez nouveau concernant par exemple la concentration économique du cheptel. Mais pour mieux comprendre la situation actuelle et révolution récente de l'élevage bovin, l'auteur replace constamment son étude dans une perspective beaucoup plus vaste qui lui fait envisager tout un ensemble de fadeurs favorisant plus ou moins les systèmes de productions agricoles pratiqués.Vergneau G.
