L’éco-anxiété : trajectoires psychologiques et liens avec l’engagement écologique
No full textThis thesis investigates the phenomenon of eco-anxiety and its relationships with various sociodemographic, psychological, and behavioral factors. The research is based on a set of seven complementary studies. The first qualitative study aimed to document the lived experiences of individuals self-identifying as eco-anxious. The second study involved the development and psychometric validation of an Eco-Anxiety Measurement Scale (Échelle de Mesure de ['Eco-Anxiété, EMEA). The subséquent two studies focused on creating an environmental coping scale and examining its associations with eco-anxiety. The fifth study assessed relationships between eco-anxiety and several psychological factors: generalized anxiety and depression, environmental affect, nature connectedness, and exposure to ecological crisis-related information. The final longitudinal study evaluated the psychological and behavioral impact of participating in a Climate Fresk workshop. Key findings demonstrate that emerging eco-anxiety significantly predicts proenvironmental engagement. Building on these results, a trajectory model was developed to describe the onset, development, and stabilization of eco-anxiety, including a discussion of conditions that may pro-mote pathological manifestations. This model was connected to behavioral engagement through the lens of Prochaska and DiClemente's Transtheoretical Model of Change.Cette thèse explore le phénomène de l'éco-anxiété et ses liens avec différents facteurs sociodémographiques, psychologiques et comportementaux. Elle s'appuie sur un ensemble de sept études complémentaires. La première, de nature qualitative, visait à re-cueillir les vécus de personnes se reconnaissant comme éco-anxieuses. La deuxième a consisté en la création et la validation psycho-métrique d'une Échelle de Mesure de l'Eco-Anxiété (EMEA). Les deux éludes suivantes ont permis d'élaborer une échelle mesurant le coping environnemental et d'examiner ses liens avec l'éco-anxiété. La cinquième étude a évalué l'association entre l'éco-anxiété et plusieurs facteurs psychologiques : l'anxiété et la dé-pression générales, les affects environnementaux, le sentiment de connexion à la nature et l'exposition aux informations relatives à la crise écologique. Enfin, la dernière étude, de nature longitudinale, portait sur l'impact psychologique et comportemental de la participation à un atelier de la Fresque du Climat. Ses résultats montrent notamment que l'émergence d'une éco-anxiété constitue un prédicteur significatif de l'engagement en faveur de l'environnement. Sur cette base, un modèle de trajectoire a été proposé pour décrire l'apparition, le développement et la stabilisation de l'éco-anxiété, en intégrant une discussion sur les conditions susceptibles d'en favoriser des formes pathologiques. Ce modèle a été mis en lien avec l'engagement comportemental, en référence au processus transthéorique du changement de Prochaska et DiClemente
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
