Handicap et justice
No full textLe fait du handicap ouvre une interrogation sur la justice. Compenser le handicap est un droit, mais on peut concevoir la compensation différemment selon la représentation sociale que l’on se fait de la différence. Ainsi lorsque l’éducation nationale pose des conditions à l’intégration de certains élèves handicapés en classes ordinaires, ne sommes-nous pas là devant un déni de justice ?Millet Dominique. Handicap et justice. In: Spirale. Revue de recherches en éducation, n°27, 2001. Les enfants différents, une chance pour l’école ? sous la direction de Sylvie Solère-Queval. pp. 73-84
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
Modular Technologies for Zero/low Emissions Ferries and Yachts
No full textThis book summarizes some key results of a research project based on an innovative eco-design methodology while delivering a practical critical review of existing approaches for dealing with both Eco-Design and Hybrid-Electric Propulsion Trains before considering a proper understanding of these elements and how to make a proper and critical choice for designing zero/low emissions ships. The authors also illustrate the various and different attempts to integrate zero/low emissions with Operational Specifications and the likely features of these attempts are considered, and the scope for developing “fresh” approaches is then presented. One case example is used to show how the methodology can offer an effective approach for designing and operating ships that can meet improved zero/low emissions requirements.
Furthermore, this book will present guidelines for new low-emissions designs for passenger ferries, where the scenarios’ challenging issue is to achieve both and simultaneously:
- “ZERO/LOW EMISSIONS” passenger vessels (limiting the negative environmental impact due to gas emissions and fuel consumption)
- Operational capability to reach and maintain an acceptable speed to ensure a daily service, competitive with the other modes of transport
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
Les silex de la région du Grand-Pressigny (Indre-et-Loire). Recherche géologique et analyse pétrographique / Flints in Grand-Pressigny country (Indre-et-Loire). Geological research and pétrographie analysis
No full textGeological and mineralogical studies have been resumed in the recent years. They have led to a systematic inventory of flint outcrops in the region of Grand-Pressigny and to the investigation of supplying areas for prehistoric man as well as the pétrographie definition of the material used for the knapping of the long pressignian blades. Pétrographie analysis which is mainly concerned with micro quartzous crystalline texture and with the research of original sedimentary microfacies has been used to characterize pressignian flint. A comparative study has been realized about local flints collected in various geological sites ; the conclusion is that the supplying sources are the formations diverted by alteration of the turonian yellow calcareous tufa : sandy clay from alteration, colluvial and ancient alluvial deposits. Pétrographie analysis besides confirms the prehistoric spreading of tools from the knapping « factories » of Grand-Pressigny country.Les études géologiques et minéralogiques reprises ces dernières années ont permis le recensement systématique des affleurements de silex de la région du Grand-Pressigny, la recherche des zones d'approvisionnement de l'homme préhistorique ainsi que la définition pétrographique du matériau utilisé pour le débitage des grandes lames pressigniennes.
L'analyse pétrographique, principalement orientée sur la texture cristalline microquartzeuse et la recherche du microfaciès sédimentaire originel, a été utilisée pour caractériser le silex pressignien. Une étude comparative a été réalisée sur les silex de la région prélevés dans des sites géologiques différents ; il en est conclu que les sources d'approvisionnement sont les terrains dérivés par altération du tuffeau jaune turonien : argile sableuse d'altération, col- luvions et alluvions anciennes. L'analyse pétrographique confirme en outre la diffusion préhistorique d'outils provenant des ateliers de taille de la région du Grand-Pressigny.Giot Denis, Mallet Nicole, Millet Dominique.

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
