    Plaidoyer pour la construction d\u27une théorie économique générale des négociations commerciales et diplomatiques internationales

    No full text
    Les négociations commerciales entre pays ou groupes de pays, dans des enceintes bilatérales, régionales ou multilatérales, sont de plus en plus difficiles à conclure. Au-delà de leur complexité (source évidente de ces difficultés), se pose la question de la pertinence du cadre théorique (au sens économique) d\u27analyse de ces phénomènes. Ce travail a cherché à expliquer les raisons de la construction d\u27une théorie économique générale du commerce international et des négociations diplomatiques.

    Intégration économique, niveau de développement et compensation équitable

    L’objectif de cet article est d’étudier la nature de la relation existant entre le niveau de développement des pays partenaires d’une intégration économique et les mécanismes de compensation équitable des processus de celle-ci. Les analyses, fondées sur le modèle de dotation factorielle de VENABLES (1999 et 2000), mettent en avant le concept d’externalité de production. Elles ont permis d’établir deux principaux résultats. D’une part, dans tout processus d’intégration économique, les mécanismes de compensation équitable ne peuvent être de forme simple quelle que soit la nature des pays partenaires. D’autre part, la faisabilité de tels mécanismes est liée au niveau des partenaires. Toutefois, ce dernier résultat a nécessité l’introduction de l’hypothèse de causalité circulaire et cumulative, dans l’optique de la nouvelle géographie économique.Kone Salif.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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 text
    We 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

    Démocratie et paradoxe du vote : fondements théoriques et enjeux socio-économiques en Afrique subsaharienne francophone

    No full text
    The widespread democratization in French-speaking sub-Saharan Africa, driven by France since 1990 as a conditionality of development aid, has since come up against numerous constraints. The difficulty of appropriating the very principle of democracy is a real limit to its practical implementation, particularly because of the voting paradox associated with it. The resulting socio-economic challenges imply the state's capacity to guarantee fundamental citizen rights, not only formal but also in terms of equitable distribution and transmission within and between generations of capabilities.La démocratisation généralisée en Afrique subsaharienne francophone, impulsée par la France à partir de 1990 comme une conditionnalité de l’aide au développement, se heurte depuis à de nombreuses contraintes. La difficulté d’appropriation du principe même de démocratie constitue une vraie limite à sa mise en œuvre pratique, notamment du fait du paradoxe du vote qui lui est associé. Les enjeux socioéconomiques qui en découlent impliquent la capacité étatique à garantir des droits citoyens fondamentaux, non seulement formels mais aussi en termes de distribution et de transmission équitables intra et intergénérationnelles de capabilités
