TENDENCIES REGARDING THE TRAINING AND THE EDUCATION IN TOURISM
Get PDFTourism is an industry with an intensive work market, which is based on men. The importance of the strategic treatment of tourism as a consequence of its involvement in the solving of the problems of the working class imposed, world wide, the promotion of some politics which should assure both tourism’s integration in the strategies of fighting against the unemployment, and also the allocation of investments for the increase of the level of education and formation of professional aptitudes and personnel quality, encouraging the partnership public sector-private sector.training initiatives, human resources, qualitative aspect, productivity, professional preparation
Consumer behavior study in the field of tourism
Get PDFToday, the Internet is assumed to be an important channel for services marketing and is leading to profound changes in the way firms interact with consumers. Consumers now have increased access to informational electronic marketplaces and use this information in a sophisticated way to select their services. The Internet provides accurate and specific information that can reach the target audience with the accuracy of more personalized information sources. This new interactive medium can be considered as a rational medium of difficult classification. The Internet is not easily classified as either impersonal or a mass media channel.marketing, destination, internet, site, market, consumer
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
ECONOMIC AND MONETARY UNION: EVOLUTIONS AND PERSPECTIVES
No full textAbstract:No matter the number of actual and future members, the final objective of the economic and monetary union is represented through a superior level of integration, but also by the superior economic performances. The integration cannot be automatic and cannot take place without a strategy that should take into account the precarious asymmetries and balances. The openness towards a worldwide economic space (…) does not provide the economic development, ipso facto. Integration cannot be substituted with a strategy of economic development. The process of integration aims at the acceleration of the economic development and the achievement of some superior indicators for global prosperity and security of the Member States. At the same time the economic integration through the compromises and the risks involves, forces the national states to improve the economic policies and to realize some important transformations in their structures.monetary, union, integration
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
The romanian tourism industry in the enlarged community
Get PDFTourism is an economic field for Romania, with a valuable development potential, unexploited yet enough and which can become a source of attraction both for foreign tourists, but this is made difficult by the strong competition from neighbor countries and the extent of issues connected to competitiveness. Despite this current difficult problem, the Romanian tourism has had an ascending trend in the last few years. For increasing the role of tourism in industry, achieving the goal of European integration for the touristic field and complying with the requirements of sustainable development, the government has to keep playing an important part and initiate active policies that would lead to the increase of the tourists’ number, tourism incomes and the average duration of the stay. The Romanian government perceives the important role the tourism and travels field can play within the future development of the country, but during the considerable economic efforts made for the European Union integration in 2007, the touristic field has been sort of left in the shadow.promotion, development strategies, touristic offer, destination
