Appropriate Economic Space for Transnational Infrastructural Projects: Gateways, Multimodal Corridors, and Special Economic Zones
Full text linkThis study addresses three questions that arise in Asia when formulating, financing, implementing, and maintaining transnational linkages versus purely domestic connections. Firstly, how is optimal economic space to be defined as a useful starting point? Secondly, how can relevant criteria be developed to define the emerging spatial economy and identify efficient transnational transport networks? Thirdly, what are the main investment opportunities in physical infrastructure that would result in more efficient and effective regional cooperation and integration (making special reference to the potential role of cross-border special economic zones (SEZs) or their equivalents)?asia transnational infrastructure; asia regional cooperation
La gestion des capitales de l'Asie du Sud-Est depuis les années 1960
No full textManaging Southeast Asia's capital cities since the 1960s. - Attention is focused on the changing functions of the state in the capital cities of Southeast Asia since the 1960s. Changes in the nature of central state-local state relations are considered before detailing the ways in which the different states have managed their capital cities through the provision of services, enforcement of structural adjustment, and the use of coping mechanisms to offset any dislocative consequences arising from their activities. These functions are illustrated by reference to housing, street vending and transport to emphasise the marked diversity in the form and practices of individual economies and their capitals.L'accent est ici mis sur l'évolution des fonctions de l'Etat dans les capitales de l'Asie du Sud-Est depuis les années 1960. Des modifications dans la nature des relations entre Etat central et Etat local sont décrites, puis les auteurs analysent comment les différents Etats ont géré leurs capitales à travers la fourniture de services, la réorganisation des structures économiques et l'emploi de mécanismes visant à compenser les effets pervers de leurs interventions. Ces fonctions sont illustrées à propos du logement, de la vente ambulante et des transports, afin de mettre en évidence la diversité des formes et des pratiques dans les capitales de chaque pays.J.

Vers une réinterprétation de l'intégration de l'Asie du Sud-Est dans l'économie mondiale
No full textTowards a reinterpretation of the incorporation of Southeast Asia into the World economy. As part of a longer-term project an examination is being undertaken of radical interpretation of the history of Southeast Asia and its incorporation into the world economy — a project made more urgent by the polarizing impact of economic growth in the region. This particular study concentrates on evaluating Catley's interpretation of the incorporation of Southeast Asia into the world capitalist economy. It takes the view that recent work on theories of stages of capital accumulation causes us to rethink the structures of determination which underpin Catley's research. We suggest that a new approach would pay some attention to refining historical determinations through a more rigorous conception of historical specificity, and would take greater cognisance of the role of class structure and human agency.Partie d'un programme à plus long terme, ce travail entreprend l'examen des interprétations progressistes de l'histoire de l'Asie du Sud-Est et de son intégration dans l'économie mondiale — entreprise rendue plus urgente par l'effet polarisant de la croissance économique dans la région. Cette étude porte sur l'interprétation proposée par Catley de l'intégration de l'Asie du Sud-Est dans l'économie mondiale capitaliste. Elle part du principe que les travaux récents sur les théories des stades de l'accumulation du capital nous conduisent à repenser les structures déterminantes qui sous-tendent les recherches de Catley. Nous suggérons qu'une nouvelle approche devrait porter quelque attention à préciser la causalité historique déterminante grâce à une conception plus rigoureuse de la spécialité historique, et à mieux prendre en compte le rôle de la structure des classes et du facteur humain.Forbes Dean K.,J.

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
