No full textCette thèse porte sur l’externalisation de la gestion achats-approvisionnements-logistiques des articles dits « Classe C » sur un site ALSTOM. La Classe C chez ALSTOM est une famille d’achats regroupant des articles hétérogènes à faible valeur unitaire (marchés, technologies, prix, de volumes, poids). Mobilisant la Théorie des Coûts de Transaction, la Théorie de l’Agence, ainsi que les travaux sur la fonction Achat et l’externalisation, cette recherche analyse les facteurs déterminants et les risques liés à l’externalisation des activités, notamment des Achats, et ce en vue d’améliorer la gestion externalisée des achats et les approvisionnements de la classe C. L'auteur de ce travail, praticien-chercheur, privilégie la Recherche Action. Il a fondé son enquête sur des entretiens demi-directifs auprès de professionnels impliqués dans la gestion de la Classe C, et abouti à des résultats qui mettent non seulement en évidence les problèmes de redéfinition du périmètre externalisé, des ressources, de la fiabilité de l’expression des besoins, du contrôle et de la mesure de la performance, mais permettent aussi de suggérer des solutions aux problèmes mentionnés, comme par exemple la définition de la classe C et de son périmètre.This research is devoted to the outsourcing of Sourcing-Supply-Logistics management of articles called "C Class" at ALSTOM´s. ALSTOM´s C-Class is a purchasing family that groups items with low unit value and heterogeneous (markets, technologies, prices, volumes and weights). By utilizing the Transaction Costs Theory and the Agency Theory, as well as some case-studies on the purchasing function and the outsourcing, this thesis analyzes the determinants and risks associated with outsourcing of activities, including purchasing, in order to improve the outsourced management of purchasing and supply of C class. Its author, as a practitioner-researcher, favors Action Research. He based his investigation on semi-structured interviews with professionals involved in the management of the C-Class, produced results that not only the problems of redefining the scope of outsourced resources, reliability of expression of needs, control and performance measurement, but also suggest solutions to the aforementioned problems, such as the definition of class C and its perimeter.Esta tesis está dedicada a la externalización de la adquisición, suministro y gestión de logística de los artículos llamados "Clase C" en un ALSTOM sitio. La Clase C en ALSTOM es una familia de compras que agrupamiento artículos con bajo valor unitario y heterogéneos mercados, tecnologías, precios, volúmenes, pesos. Movilizando la Teoría de Costes de Transacción, la Teoría de la Agencia, así como algunos trabajos sobre la función de compras y la contratación externa, esta investigación analiza los factores determinantes y los riesgos de la externalización de actividades, incluyendo las compras, para mejorar la adquisición del externalizado y suministro de Clase C. El autor, practicante-investigador, recurrió a la investigación-acción y basó su investigación en entrevistas semi-estructuradas con los profesionales que intervienen en la gestión de la Clase C y produjo resultados que no sólo relieven los problemas relacionados con el alcance de los recursos externalizados, la fiabilidad de la expresión de las necesidades y el control y la medición del desempeño, pero ofrecen también soluciones a los problemas mencionados, tales como la definición de la Clase C y su perímetro.آلستوم ترابری، برون¬سپاری، گروهc، خرید، ذخیره، پشتیبانی، سازمان¬دهی، راه¬بُرد، شاغل-پژوهشگر، پژوهش- اقدام.این پشتیبانی - تأمین آن دسته از قطعاتی که بنام گروه"c" در پایگاه¬های آلستوم رده¬بندی شده¬اند، می¬پردازد. گروه "c" در این پایگاه¬ها، مجموعۀ قطعات خرید با ارزش کم برای هر واحد است که دارای بازار، فناوری، بها، میزان سفارش، وزن و اندازۀ متفاوت هستند. با کاربرد نظریه "هزینۀ مبادله" و نظریه "نمایندگی" همچنین، موردکاوی¬های کارکرد خرید و برون¬سپاری، این پژوهش، عوامل تعیین¬کننده و ریسکهای مربوط به برون¬سپاری فعالیت¬ها، شامل خریدها را جهت بهبود مدیریت برون¬سپاری¬شدۀ خریدها و تأمین گروه "c" مورد تحلیل قرار می¬دهد. نگارندۀ این پایان¬نامه، که خود شاغل- پژوهشگر است، روش پژوهش- اقدام¬ را ترجیح می¬دهد. از این رو کاوش خود را بر پایۀ مصاحبه¬های نیمه¬رهبری شده با کارکنان حرفه¬ای که شخصاً درگیر مدیریت خرید گروه "c" هستند، قرار داده و به نتایجی دست یافته است که نه تنها مسائل بازتعریف قلمرو منابع برون¬سپاری شده، قابلیت اطمینان بیان نیازها، کنترل و اندازه¬گیری عملکرد را آشکار می¬سازد، بلکه راهکارهایی بمنظور ترفیع مسائل پایان¬نامه به بررسی برون¬سپاری مدیریت خرید - مذکور
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
