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
Agir sur la fiabilité et la flexibilité des logiciels scientifiques en sciences de l’environnement : vers une approche systématique d’aide à la prise de décision
No full textScientific software are the centre stage to support decision-making related to tackling environmental issues thanks to simulation. However, their complexity makes their execution time-consuming or resource-demanding, which is not compatible to the context of interactive decision-making. The main goal of the thesis is to tailor the scientific models, and thus, scientific software, to make them relevant and efficient to be used in such context. We first demystify the scientific models and their complementarity to engineering models to understand how they interact together. We present the MODA framework that defines the integration of the different types and roles that models can take in a sociotechnical system. Furthermore, we highlight the need to tailor the descriptive scientific models to make them take a predictive role and improve the prescriptive model of the decision-making process. We then investigate the specificity of the scientific models in terms of development cycle and validation process. We describe a reasoned approach for the development of reliable scientific software that allows to clearly characterize the validity envelope of this type of software. Finally, we propose a systematic approach of tailoring the scientific models to support decision-making by trading-off accuracy for flexibility. We adapt an approximate computing technique for scientific models. We evaluate it on a hydro-geological model used to assess the risk of flooding in coastal areas. Our results show a significant speed-up with a minimal set-up. We also propose a trade-off optimisation approach to generalise the tailoring of scientific models for decision-making.Les logiciels scientifiques sont au cœur de l'aide à la prise de décision liée à la résolution des problèmes environnementaux grâce à la simulation. Cependant, leur complexité rend leur exécution coûteuse en temps ou en ressources, ce qui n'est pas compatible avec le contexte de la prise de décision en interactivité. L'objectif principal de la thèse est d'adapter les modèles scientifiques, et donc les logiciels scientifiques, afin de les rendre pertinents et efficaces pour être utilisés dans un tel contexte. Nous démystifions d'abord les modèles scientifiques et leur complémentarité avec les modèles d'ingénierie pour comprendre comment ils interagissent ensemble. Nous présentons le cadriciel MODA qui définit l'intégration des différents types et rôles que peuvent prendre les modèles dans un système sociotechnique. En outre, nous soulignons la nécessité d'adapter les modèles scientifiques descriptifs pour leur faire jouer un rôle prédictif et améliorer le modèle prescriptif du processus décisionnel. Nous étudions ensuite la spécificité des modèles scientifiques en termes de cycle de développement et de processus de validation. Nous décrivons une approche pour le développement de logiciels scientifiques fiables qui permet de caractériser clairement l'enveloppe de validité de ce type de logiciel. Enfin, nous proposons une approche systématique de l'adaptation des modèles scientifiques pour aider à la prise de décision en conciliant précision et flexibilité. Nous adaptons une technique de calcul approximatif aux modèles scientifiques. Nous l'évaluons sur un modèle hydrogéologique destiné à évaluer le risque d'inondation dans les zones côtières. Nos résultats montrent une accélération significative du temps de calcul avec une configuration minimale. Nous présentons également une approche d'optimisation de l'approximation pour généraliser l'adaptation des modèles scientifiques à la prise de décision

Liberating language and concepts of the divine in contemporary hymnody
No full textThis article will examine from an auto-ethnographic perspective the language of hymnody and how it has developed over the last 25 years through the period of secularisation and postsecularisation. It will interrogate and analyse the words used for the Divine in a drive towards an inclusive language approach to God. It will look at the arguments of feminist theologians towards feminine images for the Divine and then how far these images will be acceptable in secular contexts, especially in secular rituals that include people from a variety of belief backgrounds in a post-secular world. It will use examples from woman writers and draw on the author�s experience of revising her own hymns for a variety of contexts. These will be interrogated in the light of debates around spiritual but not religious, multifaith dialogue and post-secularisation. It will look at a variety of approaches to the Christian narrative in contemporary UK � devotional, cultural and story � examining the language appropriate for these various approaches and various contexts.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: Hymnology crosses the disciplines of music, theology, liturgy and ritual (sacred and secular) and has implications for all these areas, especially Church liturgy and sacred music in secular contexts. It is lyrical theology, which spans the arts and theology and expresses theological ideas in an artistic form.�</p
