Les intervenants face à la problématique de l’accessibilité aux services pour les jeunes ruraux en situation de vulnérabilité
No full textBasé sur une recherche qualitative et quantitative menée en partenariat avec COSMOSS La Mitis auprès de jeunes âgés de 16 à 35 ans vivant dans la MRC de La Mitis, au Bas-Saint-Laurent, et d’intervenants du milieu, cet article propose d’explorer les trajectoires d’exclusion individuelles et collectives des jeunes en milieu rural à partir de la perspective des intervenants. À travers ce texte, nous posons un regard sur l’enjeu et les mécanismes d’accès aux services pour ces jeunes ruraux. Nous émettons l’hypothèse que plusieurs phénomènes ruraux tels que la force des liens sociaux et le contrôle social, l’enjeu de la mobilité et le manque d’un bon réseau de transports collectifs, et les obstacles au travail d’intervention en termes de ressources disponibles ou de vulnérabilité de la clientèle sont des facteurs susceptibles de se transformer en barrière à l’utilisation des services. De plus, la crainte d’une stigmatisation, le manque d’anonymat, la faible présence de ressources d’aide alternatives, ainsi que la culture de la « débrouillardise » complexifient les processus d’accès aux services pour les jeunes, surtout les plus vulnérables, nuisant ainsi à leur intégration socioéconomique. Mettant de l’avant les enjeux et les stratégies d’action des intervenants, l’article conclut également sur quelques pistes de solution pour le milieu de l’intervention et les décideurs politiques.Based on a qualitative and quantitative research conducted in partnership with COSMOSS La Mitis among young people (16 to 35 years old) living in the MRC of La Mitis, in the Lower St Laurent region, as well as with practitioners and social workers working with this target, our article proposes to explore the individual and collective trajectories of exclusion experienced by rural youth from the perspective of these professionals. In this article, we will have an overlook on the mechanisms and difficulties of young people access to services in rural areas. We make the hypothesis that several rural phenomena such as the strength of social links and social control, mobility and lack of a good public transport infrastructure, as well as other various obstacles to the work of intervention in terms of available resources and client vulnerability are all factors becoming potential barriers to the access to and consumption of services. In addition, the fear of stigmatization, the lack of anonymity, the low presence of alternative resources, as well as the “making do” culture complicate the access to services, especially the most vulnerable subjects and put at risk, as a consequence, their socio-economic integration. Highlighting the challenges and strategies of these professionals intervening with young people, the article also concludes with some possible solutions for practitioners and policy makers
Note de recherche - Les études régionales québecoises à l'heure des inégalités : Quelques pistes conclusives
Full text linkLes inégalités territoriales sont au cœur de la construction du
vivre-ensemble au Canada et au Québec, au moins depuis l’aprèsguerre. Mis en avant dès la mise en place des mécanismes de la péréquation interprovinciale en 1957 comme les politiques publiques de
développement du territoire, cet enjeu est clairement posé comme
double: il s’agit à la fois de reconnaître que ces inégalités sont une
contrainte majeure de la construction fédérale et que leur traitement politique sera territorialisé. Le territoire est donc central dans
le contrat social d’après-guerre, même si cette reconnaissance est
ambiguë, tant l’espace apparait autant comme un problème réel (les
territoires sont d’abord ceux des inégalités et des logiques spatiales
centrifuges) que comme une solution potentielle (les territoires étant
à la fois le moyen de la politique de réaffectation des ressources et sa
finalité). Toutefois, un double glissement va rappeler que si territoires
et inégalités sont là pour rester, leur compréhension simultanée doit
être régulièrement amendée pour rester pertinente
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
