La politique au service d'une conviction Philippe Hamel : deux décennies d'action politique
No full textDentiste entrant dans la vie publique pour faire triompher, sans compromis, une cause qu'il croit juste et nécessaire, Philippe Hamel entreprendra une campagne personnelle puis donnera successivement son adhésion a l'Action libérale nationale et à l'Union nationale. Croyant que Maurice Duplessis concrétiserait des reformes en hydroélectricité, Hamel sera précipite, après la victoire de l'Union nationale, dans une phase de marginalisation politique. Tenant toujours à sa vision personnelle qui abhorre tout compromis sur les principes, le dentiste entretiendra des relations difficiles avec les forces en présence. Finissant par abandonner la politique active, il n'en conservera pas moins cette volonté de faire triompher sa cause. Plus que jamais convaincu de l'influence néfaste de la "dictature économique" sur la société, il sera ramené, contexte aidant, sur la scène politique et adhèrera au Bloc populaire. Mais, une conviction toujours inébranlable verra les déboires politiques se répéter pour aboutir à un retrait progressif et définitif de la vie publique.Québec Université Laval, Bibliothèque 201
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
Dr. Philippe Hamel and the Public Power Movement in Quebec City, 1929-1934: The Failure of a Crusade
No full textLa lutte menée de 1929 à 1934 en vue de faire approprier la distribution de l’électricité par l’administration municipale de Québec avait été suscitée par l’intention bien arrêtée d’un dentiste en vue, le docteur Philippe Hamel, de délivrer ses concitoyens des griffes du cartel de l’électricité. Au début, l’attaque dirigée par le Dr Hamel sur la compagnie Quebec Power, qui jouissait d’un monopole à Québec depuis 1923, avait été soutenue par les associations d’hommes d’affaires locaux, sauf exception notable, la Chambre de commerce. La Quebec Power ayant coopéré aux projets de la Chambre de commerce visant à attirer les grandes entreprises à Québec, et Hamel s’étant montré favorable à l’étatisation de l’électricité, les deux mouvements conjugués provoquèrent un affrontement amer lorsque l’administration municipale parut gagnée à la cause du dentiste. En fin de compte, les dissensions au sein du milieu des affaires, les conflits de personnalité et les rivalités politiques aidèrent la Quebec Power dans sa défense, orchestrée avec soin, devant les pouvoirs municipaux, puis provinciaux.L’engagement du Dr Hamel dans le mouvement nationaliste canadien-français et son association avec l’École sociale populaire durant les années 30 donnèrent une dimension exceptionnelle à son attaque contre le cartel de l’électricité à Québec. L’allure de croisade que prenait sa campagne pour faire intervenir l’État dans le domaine de l’électricité afin d’assurer une certaine concurrence se retourna contre lui entre les mains de la Quebec Power et de ses alliés, contribuant ainsi à faire échouer le mouvement pour l’étatisation de l’électricité dont le Dr Hamel avait été le fer de lance en ces années-là à Québec.The fight over municipalization of electrical services in Quebec City waged between 1929 and 1934 grew out of the determination of a prominent dentist, Dr. Philippe Hamel, to rescue his fellow citizens from the grip of the electricity trust. Initially Hamel's attack on the Quebec Power Company, in a monopoly position in Quebec City after 1923, received support from local businessmen's associations with the notable exception of the Board of Trade. Quebec Power's co-operation in the board's schemes to attract new big business ventures to Quebec City and Hamel's favourable disposition toward government-run electrical utilities combined to produce a bitter confrontation when the city administration appeared to be responding positively to his campaign. Ultimately divisions within the business community, personality clashes, and political rivalries contributed to the success of Quebec Power's carefully orchestrated defence of its interests carried out at the provincial as well as the municipal level of government.Hamel's involvement in the French-Canadian nationalist movement and his association with L'École Sociale Populaire during the 1930s added a unique dimension to the attack he led against the electricity trust in Quebec City. The crusading nature of his drive to secure government-run competition in the electricity field proved to be an effective weapon in the hands of Quebec Power and its allies and thus contributed to the failure of the public power movement spearheaded by Hamel in Quebec City in these years
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
