No full textPeople, trade and training: the needs of Morocco agricultural enterprises facing EU markets
No full textThe Mediterranean area is the core of an increasing exchange of goods and people. A distinctive feature of present trends in international relationship is the importance of factors that are beyond the mere exchange of goods. In particular, foreign investment, the creation international enterprises and training and personal growth of actors that are involved in the production process are key elements of the present scenario. The objective of this paper is to discuss the need of education and training in Morocco agricultural and agri-food enterprises in view of the increasing connection with the EU economy. In particular, attention is focused on the need brought about by the increased product quality requirements and by the installment of EU and US enterprises in Morocco. The study is carried out as a preliminary activity of the TEMPUS project STRIDE 4, through a survey of about thirty Morocco enterprises. The preliminary results show a strong need for training and information. The questionnaire shows a high degree of awareness about gaps and problems in meeting EU consumer expectations. At the same time, most respondents already show a clear positive strategy toward meeting such needs and many enterprises in fact are already adequate to many quality requirements. The main focus of the training required is on the interface between technical and marketing activities. Continuous education and life long learning are also perceived as major needs.
In the background, the research shows the need of a more consistent understanding of each other’s institutions and cultural settings, as well as of a long term process of learning through collaborative training, production and research
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
The quality and training needs of Moroccan agri-food enterprises
No full textA distinctive feature of present trends in international relationships is the importance of human and social capital, including training and personal growth of actors involved in the production process. The objective of this paper is to discuss the need for education and training in Moroccan agricultural and agri-food enterprises in light of the increasing connectedness with the EU economy. In particular, attention is focused on the need brought about by increased product quality requirements and by the installation of EU and US enterprises in Morocco. The study is carried out through a survey of 98 Moroccan enterprises. The results show a high degree of awareness about gaps and problems related to meeting EU consumer expectations. However, they also emphasise the need for training and information. Many of the respondents already show a clear positive strategy toward meeting such needs, and many enterprises are already compliant with many quality requirements. The main focus of the training required is on the interface between technical and marketing activities. The most preferred, and required, competences were: marketing managers, quality managers, administration and finance and food safety experts
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
Challenges of farm management in Morocco: the experience of Stride 4
No full textThe Mediterranean area is the core of an increasing exchange of goods and people. The objective of this book is to illustrate the main outcomes of the TEMPUS project STRIDE 4 “Development of a new Master degree on Agricultural Management”, (2004-2007) CD_ JEP 31019-2003, coordiated by CEFAL, Bologna, Italy. The realisation of this project was possible thanks to the close collaboration of partners from Morocco, Italy and Denmark: University of Bologna, Italy; Université of Roskilde, Danemark; Consortium Inter provincial of agricultural Coopératives (CICA), Italy.
The core part of the book is based on a survey carried out during the project on a sample of 98 Moroccan enterprises.
The analysis of the data of the survey showed substantial differences in management strategies and the training needs of the enterprises, though management training appears as having a paramount role in enterprises development in a large number of cases.
Enterprises show a high degree of awareness about gaps and problems in meeting EU consumer expectations. At the same time, most respondents already show a clear positive strategy towards meeting such needs and many enterprises in fact are already adequate to many quality requirements and engaged in training activities.
Implications of these findings concern both the teaching subjects and methodologies
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
