La dentisterie équine : une compétence et une spécialisation de la médecine vétérinaire
No full textL‘examen et le traitement buccodentaires du cheval représentent un domaine et une responsabilité de la profession vétérinaire demandant des connaissances anatomiques et cliniques approfondies. Le rôle du vétérinaire consiste en une prise en charge de chaque cas sur les bases factuelles. En outre, il doit prendre des décisions thérapeutiques adaptées dans le contexte global de l‘animal, nécessitant parfois de référer les chevaux aux vétérinaires spécialistes pour des soins avancés.La demande croissante de prises en charge de cas de dentisterie sur les chevaux ces dernières années s’est accompagnée d’une amélioration notable du diagnostic des troubles odontostomatologiques ainsi que des soins dentaires de base, mais aussi d’une augmentation de la complexité des nouveaux traitements accessibles
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
Bases anatomiques des dents prémolaires et molaires
No full textLa meilleure compréhension de l’anatomie macroscopique et des modifications dynamiques de la dentition équine a déjà beaucoup contribué au développement et à l’amélioration des méthodes de diagnostic et des stratégies de traitement modernes dans le domaine de la dentisterie équine.
On peut s’attendre à ce que l’élucidation de certaines particularités des propriétés de la biologie cellulaire des tissus associés à la dent chez le cheval donne plus d’impulsions à cette spécialité.L’amélioration de la compréhension de l’anatomie macroscopique et des changements dynamiques de la dentition a contribué au développement et au perfectionnement des méthodes de diagnostic et des stratégies de traitement modernes dans le domaine de la dentisterie équine
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
Les affections dentaires et leurs traitements chez le cheval âgé
No full textChez le cheval, les affections dentaires passent fréquemment inaperçues. Le cheval continue à mastiquer sans difficultés apparentes même en présence de maladies parfois sérieuses.
Les chevaux âgés souffrent souvent d’affections dentaires d’origines diverses : anomalies d’usure, parodontite, résorption odonclastique et hypercémentose, …
Un examen minutieux sous tranquillisation appropriée permet d’identifier les problèmes existants.
Le traitement des anomalies d’usure est plutôt conservatif et complété par des adaptations du régime alimentaire.
La parodontite nécessite souvent des traitements répétés et une guérison n’est que rarement atteinte. Des soins réguliers peuvent néanmoins stabiliser le confort dans la bouche
