La dynamique de l'intégration des immigrants ivoiriens dans le cadre de la régionalisation de l’immigration au Canada : une étude comparative entre Montréal et Sudbury.
No full textCette thèse compare l'intégration des immigrants ivoiriens à Montréal et à Sudbury, en se
concentrant sur les dimensions normative, instrumentale, interrelationnelle et occupationnelle.
Les résultats révèlent des différences dans l'intégration normative liées aux caractéristiques
culturelles et linguistiques des deux villes. Montréal, avec sa diversité et son usage du
français, favorise l'intégration, tandis que la prédominance de l'anglais à Sudbury pose des
défis. Sudbury se distingue par sa cohésion communautaire et sa stabilité instrumentale, alors
que Montréal offre plus d'opportunités économiques et un réseau social plus large.
Concernant l'intégration occupationnelle, Montréal présente une plus grande diversité
d'opportunités, tandis que Sudbury offre une stabilité professionnelle nuancée.
L'étude souligne l'importance d'ajuster les politiques d'intégration aux spécificités régionales
et recommande des recherches futures dans d'autres régions canadiennes pour une
compréhension approfondie de l'intégration des Ivoiriens et d'autres groupes immigrés, tout en
reconnaissant la limitation de la généralisation des résultats due à l'approche qualitative.Maîtrise ès arts (MA) en sociologi
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
The Effects of Sulcatone and Larval Crowding on Oviposition Site Selection of Aedes aegypti
No full textThe Aedes aegypti mosquito is a vector responsible for multiple diseases
globally, including Dengue fever and the Zika Virus. Olfactory cues are crucial in
both host seeking and oviposition site selection, allowing the species to survive in
human habitats and transmit arboviruses from one person to the next. Previous
studies have identified that the evolution of the mosquito’s human preference may
be attributed to an odorant receptor for sulcatone, a compound abundant in human
odor. Other works with the malaria vector mosquito suggest that sulcatone may
actually repulsive in the context of oviposition. Here, I developed a dual‐choice
oviposition bioassay in order to analyze the role that sulcatone and larval crowding
play in 3 variants of Ae. aegypti. Results suggest that sulcatone may be attractive in
isolation. Results also imply that gravid females are attracted to low densities of
larvae in the water, with attraction increasing to a point and then switching to
repulsion at higher densities. Implications for vector control and the role that
sulcatone can play in gravid traps are discussed
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
