L’impact du sens donné au théorème de Thalès sur les liens entre mathématiques et physique
No full textIn the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), théorème de Thalès is stated in two forms: as a consequence of similarity of triangles and in the form of secants cut by parallels. The link between the two presentations seems to be dysfunctional: there is a problem of meaning. To demonstrate this, we subjected the teachers in training to a didactic situation. We then spotted some traces of use of Thales\u27 theorem in physics lessons. And above all the consequences of the meaning given to théorème de Thalès on these uses. En République Démocratique du Congo (RDC), le théorème de Thalès est énoncé sous deux formes : comme conséquence de similitude des triangles et sous la forme des sécantes découpées par des parallèles. Le lien entre les deux présentations semble dysfonctionner : il y a un problème de sens. Pour en rendre compte, l’on a soumis les enseignants en formation à une situation didactique. L’on a ensuite repéré quelques traces d’utilisations du théorème de Thalès dans le cours de physique, surtout les conséquences du sens donné au théorème de Thalès sur ces utilisations. 
À propos de l’Articulation Primaire & Secondaire : cas du Théorème de Thalès
No full textWe wanted by this work to show the place and the importance of the didactics ofmathematics in the search for elements of response to the problems of articulation between twolevels of a teaching system. The Theory of Didactic Situations (TSD) makes it possible, througha priori analysis, to identify relevant variables, motors of connection at two levels. For thiswork, the management of the relevant variable "diagonals", drawn from the parallelograms seenat the end of primary school, through the "spider\u27s trap" situation, made it possible to introduceThales\u27 theorem in secondary school.Nous avons voulu par ce travail montrer la place et l’importance de la didactique desmathématiques dans la recherche d’éléments de réponse aux problèmes d’articulation entredeux niveaux d’un système d’enseignement. La Théorie des Situations Didactiques (TSD)permet, par l’analyse a priori, d’identifier des variables pertinentes, moteurs de connexion dedeux niveaux. Pour ce travail, la gestion de la variable pertinente « les diagonales », identifiéedans l’analyse a priori des situations sur les parallélogrammes travaillés à l’école primaire, àtravers la situation « piège de l’araignée », a permis d’introduire le théorème de Thalès ausecondaire
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
