Pareto et Ernest Roguin
No full textVie et œuvre d’Ernest Roguin Selon une recherche sur Internet, le plus récent ouvrage consacrant des développements substantiels à Ernest Roguin semble être une traduction en portugais, parue il y a quelques mois au Brésil, d’un livre du grand philosophe du droit italien Norberto Bobbio, récemment décédé. Il s’agit essentiellement d’une présentation de l’œuvre de Kelsen, qui s’achève cependant par un chapitre entier consacré au Vaudois, sous le titre révélateur de « Um theorico di direito esq..

Microtus kermanensis Roguin 1988
No full text178. Kerman Vole Microtus kermanensis French: Campagnol de Kerman / German: Kerman-Wihimaus / Spanish: Topillo de Kerman Other common names: Balochistan Vole Taxonomy. Microtus kermanensis Roguin, 1988, 30 km south of Kerman, Iran. Microtus kermanensis is in subgenus Microtus and mystacinus species group. It was recently synonymized with M. transcaspicus, but its karyotype (2n = 54) suggests closer affinity with M. mystacinus. Deserts separate distribution of kermanensis from other closely related voles in northern Iran. Monotypic. Distribution. SC Iran, restricted to area around type locality. Descriptive notes. Head-body 114-152 mm, tail 43-51 mm; weight 41-57 g. The Kerman Vole is large, with moderately long tail. Hindfoot is long (21-9 mm), with six plantar pads. Females have two pairs each of pectoral and inguinal nipples (eight nipples in total). Skull is essentially as in the East European Vole (M. mystacinus). Nasals are expanded anteriorly, interorbital crest is low, interparietal bone is large, and dorsal profile is gently bent. Incisors are orthodont. Molars are as in the East European Vole, except for shorter posterior cup of M” and anterior cup of M. Habitat. Proximity to water bodies at elevations of ¢.2700 m. Food and Feeding. No information. Breeding. No information. Activity patterns. The Kerman Vole digs burrows into banks at water level and probably lives in a similar way to the aquatic morphotype of the Eurasian Water Vole (Arvicola amphibius) Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information. Status and Conservation. Classified as Data Deficient on The IUCN Red List because, although its approximate distribution is known (only ¢.4000 km?), there is a lack of information about habitat preferences, ecology, and the threats faced by the species.

Haptoglobin phenotype and the risk of restenosis after coronary artery stent implantation.
No full textWe recently demonstrated that an allelic polymorphism in the haptoglobin gene is a major determinant of susceptibility to a number of vascular disorders. We set out to determine if haptoglobin phenotype was predictive of the development of restenosis in a consecutive series of patients, all of whom underwent stent implantation followed by repeat angiography with quantitative coronary angiography analysis 6 months later. This study included 214 consecutive patients undergoing stent implantation for de novo lesions between 1998 and 1999 in Aalst, Belgium. All underwent follow-up quantitative coronary angiography analysis 6 months after the procedure. The haptoglobin phenotype was determined by electrophoresis. No significant differences were found between patients segregated by phenotype with respect to clinical, procedural, and angiographic factors previously suggested to influence the development of restenosis. None of the diabetic patients homozygous for the haptoglobin 1 allele developed restenosis compared with a >50\% restenosis rate for diabetic patients with at least 1 haptoglobin 2 allele (p <0.02). In all patients (diabetic and nondiabetic), we observed a trend toward a lower incidence of restenosis in patients homozygous for the 1 allele (21\% vs 33\%, p <0.09). Moreover, we found a graded risk relation to the number of haptoglobin 2 alleles. The risk of developing restenosis was greater in subjects with 2 haptoglobin 2 alleles (36\%) than in those with 1 haptoglobin 2 allele (31\%) or no haptoglobin 2 alleles (21\%). Thus, knowledge of the haptoglobin phenotype may be useful in assessing and utilizing new therapies that attempt to reduce restenosis, and may have important implications for the risk stratification algorithm used in managing diabetic patients with coronary artery disease
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
The Thursday Murder Club: Launching a megabrand author - a publishing case study
No full textIn 2020, the Christmas book charts in the UK made headlines: Barack Obama’s eagerly awaited autobiography, The Promised Land, was beaten to the top spot by The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, a debut cosy crime novel set in a retirement village. Not only did Osman’s book beat the former US president’s expected bestseller, it also broke records, becoming the fastest-selling debut crime novel of all time. Although Osman has a certain level of fame in the UK from his TV appearances on shows such as Pointless, his celebrity status does not entirely explain the novel’s huge sales. This article tracks the acquisition, publication, and promotion journey of The Thursday Murder Club in order to understand the industry and cultural context of its success and to interrogate the role of celebrity in the creation of author brands. The findings suggest that the unexpected scale of the success of the book owed to a number of factors, including in-depth editing by the novel’s agent, editor, and author to tighten up the plot, an extensive and strategic promotional campaign, the pandemic (which drove interest in the book’s genre and themes), and the quality of the writing. We find that the book’s success was accentuated by Osman’s celebrity status rather than being entirely reliant on it. This research adds to the growing scholarship on celebrity authorship by means of an in-depth case study and provides insight into the processes behind publishing a ‘celebrity’ book and launching a megabrand author
