Répartition spatiale des établissements scolaires du cycle secondaire dans une ville nouvelle subsaharienne (Yamoussoukro, Côte-d’Ivoire): le secteur public, source d’inégalités spatiales d’accès à l’éducation ?
Get PDFThe school function of the city of Yamoussoukro is the most important of the three functions assigned to it when it was created from scratch. At the outset, this was reflected in the construction of excellent establishments and housing for staff, which contributed to strong demographic growth. This growth, which is accompanied by spatial expansion, is a source of social needs in sectors such as education. However, urban localities are not always equipped with basic infrastructure, particularly schools, at the same rate as they grow. What then is the reality of geographical accessibility to secondary schooling in a new school town undergoing rapid change such as Yamoussoukro? The objective of this study is to analyse the relationship between urban growth and the distribution of schools in order to assess the geographical accessibility of schooling. The methodology used combines documentary research and field surveys. The results show that the supply of schooling is relatively well distributed over the urban area and is largely provided by the private sector, which compensates for the spatial segregation induced by the location of public schools.La fonction scolaire de la ville de Yamoussoukro est la plus prégnante des trois fonctions qui lui ont été assignées à sa création ex-nihilo. Celle-ci s’est traduite à l’origine, par la construction d’établissements d’excellence et de logements pour le personnel, qui ont contribué à une forte croissance démographique. Cette croissance qui s’accompagne d’une extension spatiale, est source de besoins sociaux dans des secteurs comme l’éducation. Cependant, les localités urbaines ne sont pas toujours équipées en infrastructures de base, notamment scolaires, au rythme de leur croissance. Quelle est alors la réalité de l’accessibilité géographique à l’offre de scolarisation dans le cycle secondaire d’une ville nouvelle scolaire en pleine mutation comme Yamoussoukro? L’objectif de cette étude est d’analyser la relation entre la croissance urbaine et la répartition des établissements scolaires pour apprécier l’accessibilité géographique à l’offre de scolarisation. La méthodologie utilisée combine la recherche documentaire et des enquêtes de terrain. Les résultats montrent que l’offre de scolarisation est relativement bien répartie sur l’espace urbain et est surtout largement portée par le secteur privé qui pallie la ségrégation spatiale induite par la localisation des établissements publics

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
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
