Approche des représentations d’avenirs des lycéens handicapés visuels comparées à celles des lycéens valides du Burkina Faso
No full textAlors que de nombreux travaux portent sur les représentations d’avenir des adolescents, peu d’études rendent compte de l’impact du handicap dans l’élaboration de ces représentations. Nous proposons à travers la conduite d’entretiens individuels semi directifs avec 26 lycéens dont 13 en situation d’handicap visuel, de réaliser un travail exploratoire sur ce thème en vue de faire des propositions en termes de dispositifs d’accompagnement de ces jeunes dans le domaine du conseil en orientation au Burkina Faso. A l’issue de l’analyse de nos données, nous observons que les discours des jeunes adolescents handicapés visuels sont similaires à ceux des élèves valides. Des particularités concernant les intentions d’avenir des élèves en situation de handicap se dégagent tout de même : une influence des facteurs extérieurs sur la formation de ces intentions, des choix de professions peu diversifiés et de nature différente

Entrepreneuriat au Burkina Faso : lueur d’espoir pour une jeunesse de plus en plus ambititeuse
No full textCe chapitre présente l’état des lieux de l’entrepreneuriat au Burkina Faso en mettant l’accent sur des aspects relatifs au marché du travail dans ce pays, les formes d’emploi, l’esprit entrepreneurial et les principaux défis que doivent relever ce pays, ses décideurs politiques, sa population et notamment sa jeunesse. Il faut noter d’emblée que les jeunes Africains en général et ceux du Burkina Faso en particulier sont de plus en plus ambitieux et développent des initiatives personnelles dans l’intention de s’auto-employer puisque l’entrepreneuriat est perçu comme une issue au chômage. Il suscite l’espoir d’améliorer les conditions de vie des jeunes et donc de les sortir de la pauvreté, dans le sens de l’exploitation de nouvelles opportunités selon l’expression de Pelletier (2004), de prise de risque, d’innovation pour le développement économique et social du pays. À travers une étude quantitative, il s’agit dans cette contribution de s’interroger sur la conception qu’a cette jeunesse de l’entrepreneuriat, tout en faisant une description des dispositifs d’aide à la création d’entreprise par les jeunes pour relever leurs forces et leurs faiblesses. Il s’agit aussi de mettre en exergue les compétences entrepreneuriales qui font défaut aux jeunes et la façon de les développer afin qu’ils réussissent leurs projets. Des propositions faites également à l’endroit des gouvernants pour une meilleure prise en compte de l’entrepreneuriat des jeunes dans les politiques de développement au Burkina Faso concluent le chapitre
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
