L’efficience des établissements universitaires marocains : Apport de la théorie de l’architecture organisationnelle
Full text linkIl n’est guère douteux que le système de l’enseignement supérieur joue un rôle important dans le développement socio-économique d’un pays. Dans un contexte où le savoir est considéré comme un outil de compétitivité, le Maroc, comme plusieurs pays en voie de développement a entamé de vastes réformes afin d’assurer un enseignement supérieur de qualité. Les universités constituent l’un des piliers de développement socio-économique du pays. Elles contribuent davantage à l’évolution technologique et à l’amélioration de la productivité du travail.Par conséquent, les Etats sont encouragés à investir dans l’enseignement supérieur, sachant que les effets positifs de cet investissement sont conditionnés par un mode de gouvernance susceptible de garantir son efficacité (Bourdin, 2008). Le processus de détermination d’objectif et les ressources (matérielles, humaines est financières) en sont les préalables. Le mode de gouvernance de l’enseignement supérieur est sensé réaliser des objectifs en termes surtout de qualité, garant de l’employabilité.L’université, entant qu’acteur appartenant au secteur public, peut-elle garantir son indépendance et son dynamisme tout en favorisant la réalisation d’objectifs culturels, économiques et sociaux essentiels ? Quels serait le mode de gouvernance à mettre en place afin d’assurer l’efficience de ces établissements d’enseignement supérieur, abstraction faite de la structure de propriété ? Quel rôle va jouer les universités privées dans le paysage universitaire marocain
Banques étrangères, mode de gouvernance et performance des banques privatisées
No full textForeign banks, governance and performance of privatized banks
We examine the post-privatization performance of 72 banks from 26 developing countries, 21 banks were privatized by foreign bank entry. Our results suggest that privatization doesn’t have an important effect on the performance of privatized banks. Our results suggest also that foreign bank and their cognitive contribution improve privatized bank performance measured by capital adequacy, assets quality and liquidity. The success of bank privatization depends on the specific skills and on the know-how brought by the foreign bank.
JEL Classification : G21 ; G28 ; G32, L33Cet article examine la performance post-privatisation de 72 banques dont 21 banques ont été privatisées via l’entrée de banques étrangères. Les résultats montrent que la réussite de la privatisation dépend principalement de l’identité de l’acquéreur. En plus du rôle disciplinaire qu’exerce la banque étrangère, la privatisation des banques publiques est étroitement liée aux compétences spécifiques et au savoir-faire apportés par la banque étrangère. Les nouvelles compétences constituent une source de création de valeur au sein de la banque privatisée.

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
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
