A caminho de uma memorizaçao dos sinais dos impactos cruzados entre variaveis estrategicas
Get PDFÁ expressao "tudo o mais constante" [do latim "ceteris paribus"), apreciada pelos economistas, os segidores de prospectiva opoem a expressao "tudo o mais esta mudando”. Razao pela qual tem sido desenvolvidas ferramentas, em particular os cenarios e as matrizes de impactos cruzados, que tem sido colocadas a disposiçao da estretegia. Os cenarios tem tido um grande sucesso neste campo, mas a matrizes de impactos cruzados tem tido problemas para serem adotadas pelos estretegistas da empresa. Uma das desvantagens destas matrizes e que sao "amnesicas" quanto aos sinais negativos dos impactos causados ou sofridos pelos atores au pelas variaveis. Existe, de fato, uma perda de informaçao quando se passa aos impactos indrettos, na medida em que o produto de um numero par de sinais negativos porduz um sinal positivo: consequentemente, as oposiçoes sao ocultadas. Este artigo propoe um metoda que permite encontrar o rastro dos impactos negatlvos ao longo de uma cadeia de açoes e reaçoes. Para tanto, realiza-se a titulo de itustraçao, o estudo dos impactos positivos e negativos entre as variaveis estrategicas vinculadas ao financiamento das casas de repouso para idosos dependentes na França (EHPAD. sua sigla em frances). De fato, os impactos introduzidos pela adesao e a oposiçao dos protagonistas a inclusao dos medicamentos no preço de um programa integral de cuidados tem produzido uma avalanche de textos legislativos e legulamentares contraditorios, que podem chegar a comprometer o futuro dos "HEPAD".A la formule “toute chose egale par ailleurs” chese aux eronomistes, les tenants de la prospective opponent I'expression “toute chose change par ailleurs”. Cest pourquoi ils ont developpe des outils, en particulier les scenarios et les matrice; d'impacts croisés, qu'ils ont mis á la disposition de la strategie. Les scenarios benificient d'un grand succes dans ce domaine, mais les matrices d'impacts croisés ont du mal a etré adoptecs par Ies strateges de I'entreprise. L'un des handicaps de ces matrices est qu'elles sont “amnesiques” quant aux signes negatifs des impacts causes ou subis par les acteurs ou Ies variables. Il y a, en effet, perte d'informations des que I'on passe aux impacts indirects, dans la mesure ou Ie produit d'un nombre pail le signes negatifs donne un signe positif: les oppositions sont ainsi occultees. Cet article propose une methode pemettant de retrouver la trace des impacts negatifs, Ie long d'une chaine d'actions et de reactions. L'illustration est realisée par I'etude des impacts positifs et negatifs entre les variables strategiques liées au financement des etablissements français d'hebergement pour les personnes agees dependantts (EHPAD) En effet, des impacts induits par I'adhesion et I'opposition des protagonistes de I'inclusiont des medicaments dans un forfait de soins ont entraine une valse de textes Iegislatifs et reglamentaires contradictairts qui pourtant engagent I'avenir des EHPAD.A la expresión "todo lo demás permanece constante" (del latín "ceteris paribus'), apreciada por los economistas, los seguidores de la prospectiva oponen la expresión "todo lo demás esta cambiando", razón por la cual han desarrollado herramientas, en particular los escenarios y las matrices de impactos cruzados, que han puesto a disposición de la estrategia. Los escenarios han tenido un gran éxito en este campo, pero las matrices de impactos cruzados han tenido problemas para ser adoptadas por los estrategas de la empresa, Una de las desventajas de estas matrices es que son "amnésicas" en cuanto a los signos negativos de los impactos causados a experimentados por los actores o las variables. Hay, en efecto, una pérdida de información una vez que se pasa a los impactos indirectos, en la medida que el producto de un número par de signos negativos produce un signo positivo: en consecuencia las oposiciones son ocultadas. Este artículo propone un método que permite encontrar el rastro de los impactos negativos a lo largo de una cadena de acciones y reacciones. Para lo cual se realiza, a manera de ilustración, el estudio de los impactos positivos y negativos entre las variables estratégicas vinculadas al financiamiento de los hogares para los adultos mayores dependientes en Francia (EHPAD, por su sigla en idioma francés) En efecto, los impactos introducidos par la adhesión y la oposición de los protagonistas a la inclusión de las medicamentos en el precio de un programa integral de cuidados han producido una avalancha de textos legislativos y reglamentarios contradictorios que pueden lIegar a comprometer el futuro de los EHPAD.In opposition to the formula "Everything being equal elsewhere" ("ceteris paribus") often used by economists, those who take the prospective approach propose the expression "Everything being changing elsewhere". This is why they have developed tools, in particular scenarios and cross-impact matrices they have made available to Business Strategy, if scenarios are a great success in this area, the cross-impact matrices are however struggling to be taken by business Strategists. One of the handycaps of these matrices is that they are 'amnesic" about the signs of nepative impacts caused or Undergone by the actors or variables. There is, indeed, a loss of information as soon as we come to the indirect impacts, insofar as the product of an even number of negative signs gives a nosiuve sign: the oppositions are thus hidden. This article proposes a method to trace the negative impacts, along a chain of actions and reactions. The illustration is done by studying the positive and neganve impacts to the strategic variables relatee to the financing of drugs in French Sheltered Acomodations for Dependent Elderly People (EHPAD in french). lndeed, these impacts induced by the opposition of the pros and the cons to the inclusion of drugs in a package of care. Resulted in a waltz of contradictory laws and regulations that are, nevertheless, shaping the future of French EHPADs
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
Utilisation des ingrédients de prospective comme leviers de stratégie
Get PDFEl artículo hace referencia en primer lugar, a la problemática de controlar y manejar los acontecimientos futuros y en segundo lugar, a la importancia de conocer la evolución de un fenómeno, de una organización o de un sistema. El autor, A. Smida, propone entonces hacer una alianza entre dos métodos para analizar el futuro: la previsión y la prospectiva, reconociendo que ambos métodos tienen sus fortalezas y debilidades en la búsqueda de la objetividad y la homogenización, dejando quizás en un mundo plano los comportamientos subjetivos y contradictorios de los actores
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
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
