Aux limites de l'œcoumène : le ravitaillement de la ville de Rio Gallegos (Patagonie du Sud)
No full textTo the ends of œcoumene : supplying the town of Rio Gallegos, southern Patagonia, Argentina.
The problems concerning the provisioning of Rio Gallegos, a small administrative capital in southern Patagonia, are an expressive indicator of the regional organization of this pioneer post and of its dépendance on Buenos Aires, located 2,650 kilometers to the north.
Regional offer is insufficient and not at all varied. The widespread raising of sheep is the only agricultural activity of any importance. Lamb and mutton are thus the basic foods, but the town must make an appeal to outside sources, and specifically to Buenos Aires, in order to vary its food supply. The structure and operation of its markets, as well as the food consumption of the population, is a faithful reflection of this problem.
If Patagonia is dedicated to extensive sheep raising, on a large ranch-scale basis, this is due not only to the harsh climatic conditions — extreme cold and aridity — but also because of a hard and recent agricultural occupation which occurred at a moment when the main agricultural regions of Argentina were affirming themselves and when national union and improved transportation conditions favored regional specialization.
If Buenos Aires is the principal supplier, in spite of the existence of less distant poles and zones of production, this is because the Argentine capital, which possesses a third of the nation's population, has become the redistribution center for the entire country.
At present, Rio Gallegos, on account of its growth, aspires towards a greater indépendance and is searching for more autonomous regional supply possibilities. Agricultural oases have been established or are in the planning stage, and the authorities are attempting to expand sheep raising and to create an agricultural belt around Rio Gallegos.
This undertaking has interesting implications, but if the means to provision the town are improving, this is due above all to the expanded road network and links with the North.Le ravitaillement de Rio Gallegos, petite capitale administrative du sud de la Patagonie argentine, est un indicateur expressif de l'organisation régionale et de la dépendance de ce poste pionnier à l'égard de Buenos Aires, 2 650 km au nord.
L'offre régionale est insuffisante et peu diversifiée. L'élevage extensif des ovins est la seule activité agricole d'importance. La viande ovine est ainsi l'aliment de base, mais la ville doit faire appel à l'extérieur et singulièrement à Buenos Aires pour varier ses menus... La structure et le fonctionnement du marché, ainsi que le régime alimentaire de la population, reflètent ces contraintes.
Si la Patagonie est vouée à l'élevage extensif, dans le cadre d'une économie de traite latifundiaire, c'est non seulement à cause des dures contraintes climatiques que sont le froid et la sécheresse, mais aussi à cause d'une occupation agricole brutale et récente qui s'est faite à un moment où les régions agricoles fondamentales de l'Argentine s'affirmaient, et où l'intégration nationale et l'amélioration des conditions de transport favorisaient la spécialisation régionale.
Si Buenos Aires est le principal fournisseur, malgré l'existence de pôles et de zones de production moins éloignées, c'est parce que la capitale de l'Argentine, avec un tiers de la population nationale, est devenue le marché de redistribution de tout le pays.
De nos jours, Rio Gallegos aspire, du fait de son développement, à une plus grande indépendance et recherche un approvisionnement régional plus autonome. Des oasis agricoles sont réalisées ou en projet, et les autorités essaient de développer l'élevage bovin et de créer une banlieue agricole autour de Rio Gallegos.
Ce processus est riche d'enseignement, mais si le ravitaillement de la ville s'améliore, c'est surtout grâce aux progrès des relations routières avec le Nord.Mercadier Hélène, Mercadier Gilbert.

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
Quelques données et remarques sur l'évolution de l'agriculture en Aveyron
No full textRecent trends of agricultural production in Aveyron. Animal husbandry appears as the major branch in the agricultural economy of Aveyron district, which remains very important though it offers nowadays less employment than industries, trade and services. The author reviews each branch of animal production : cattle for milk and meat, sheep for cheese and milk, and he stresses the importance of recent socio-cultural changes : cooperation, increased indebtness, better knowledge of the rest of the world and a deeper sense of the economic requisitions. He then gives a sketch of the regional agricultural patterns.L'élevage constitue la branche principale de l'économie agricole de l'Aveyron. L'auteur en détaille l'évolution récente, essentiellement en comparant les résultats des deux derniers recensements agricoles, et traite ensuite des mutations sociales et culturelles contemporaines. Il montre ainsi la fragilité d'une expansion menacée par la montée de l'endettement et des coûts de production, le poids du foncier et l'étroitesse des marchés.La evolución de la agricultura en el departamento del Aveyron. La ganaderia constituye la rama principal de la economía agrícola del departamento del Aveyron. El autor estudia detenidamente la evolución reciente comparado los resultados de los últimos censos agrícolas y analisa las mutaciones sociales y culturales contemporáneas. Así se muestra la fragilidad de una expansion amenezada por el aumento del endeudamiento de los costos de producción del precio de las tierras agrícolas y de un mercado reducido.Mercadier Gilbert.

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
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
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
