The Degree of Alignment Between Finance and Accounting Courses in Algerian Universities and the Job Market Requirements
Get PDFThis study seeks to elucidate the significance of aligning finance and accountingcurricula in Algerian universities with labour market demands to ascertain discrepancies betweenthe curricula and market requirements. A field investigation was executed by randomlydistributing a questionnaire to 83 participants. Their comments led us to conclude that thecurricula in Algerian institutions do not correspond with the demands of the job market, indicatinga disparity between academic instruction and employment requirements. Furthermore, the samplemembers said that training in financial and accounting software packages, including Elbassit,Compta PC, and PC Paie, was not a fundamental component of the curricula in Algerian colleges.Moreover, Algerian Universities fail to offer field training for students that sufficiently equips themfor the labour market, highlighting a substantial disparity between practical training and marketdemands
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
The Role of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in Developing Desert Tourism in The City of Tamanrasset (1999-2017)
Get PDFThis study aims at investigating the basic role of small and meduim-sized enterprises in developing desert tourism in the city of Tamanrasset. Thus, desert tourism is not only entertaining, but also an important economic industry for its huge investments and outcomes. In order to study the importance of these enterprises in supporting desert tourism in the district of Tamanrasset, a descriptive, historical and quantitative approach is used to analysz the data obtained. The results of this study indicate that desert tourism has become an important economic and social option to lubricate the wheel of economy. Developing desert economic sector involves the development of touristic small and meduim-sized enterprise
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
The extent of dedication of Algerian governmental administrative institutions to corporate governance
Get PDFThis study seeks to ascertain the prerequisites of corporate governance and its impact on enhancing institutional and public service performance while also evaluating the commitment level of Algerian public administrative institutions through the distribution of 62 questionnaires and the application of the SPSS 25 statistical program. The study concluded that adherence to corporate governance principles significantly enhances efficiency and transparency in public institutions; however, it highlighted the necessity to refine certain aspects, particularly in activating disclosure and transparency policies with greater clarity and strengthening the overarching governance framework to ensure comprehensive policy implementation. This study underscores the significance of implementing a holistic governance framework to enhance institutional performance and attain effectiveness and equity, accompanied by recommendations to bolster commitment across all governance dimensions, thereby fostering a work environment defined by integrity and accountability that aids in achieving sustainable developmen
