The role of digital tools at the point of sale : an approach based on the experience of anticipation of use : the case of interactive terminals and automatic checkouts in food and specialised stores
No full textLes outils digitaux n’ont cessé d’être déployés dans les points de vente, à l’ère du réenchantement de ceux-ci, pour plusieurs raisons profitant aux clients (apports hédonico-esthétiques, fonctionnels et utilitaires…) et aux points de vente (réduction de coûts, gain de temps, différenciation…). Dans cette thèse, nous tentons de comprendre pourquoi les clients utilisent-ils les outils mis à leur disposition. Quels sont les éléments liés aux points de vente et aux outils eux-mêmes qui favorisent le comportement d’approche/évitement des clients ? Nous avons postulé une approche par l’expérience d’anticipation d’usage qui permet de mieux prendre en compte les aspects hédoniques, symboliques, fonctionnels dans la prédiction de l’utilisation effective des outils par les visiteurs des points de vente.À partir des résultats d’une étude quantitative, nous avons pu établir des effets positifs de l’expérience d’anticipation d’usage des outils digitaux sur l’orientation comportementale des visiteurs des grandes surfaces alimentaires et spécialisées. Ces liens ont permis d’établir que l’instrument de mesure ainsi conceptualisé permet bien de prédire l’usage effectif des outils expérimentaux utilisés. Aussi, nous avons constaté que l’interaction avec le vendeur, que nous avons considéré comme modérateur dans le modèle de recherche, n’a d’effet significatif que sur l’anxiété liée à l’usage des bornes interactives.Digital tools have been deployed in retail outlets in the era of re-enchantment, for several reasons that benefit customers (hedonic-aesthetic, functional and utilitarian contributions...) and retail outlets (cost reduction, time saving, differentiation...). In this thesis, we try to understand why customers use the tools available to them. What are the elements related to the points of sale and to the tools themselves that favour the approach/avoidance behaviour of customers? We have postulated an approach based on the experience of anticipation of use which allows us to better consider the hedonic, symbolic and functional aspects in predicting the actual use of the tools by visitors to the sales outlets.Based on the results of a quantitative study, we were able to establish positive effects of the anticipatory experience of using digital tools on the behavioural orientation of visitors to large food and specialised stores. These links made it possible to establish that the measurement instrument thus conceptualised does indeed predict the actual use of the experimental tools used. Also, we found that the interaction with the salesperson, which we considered as a moderator in the research model, only has a significant effect on the anxiety linked to the use of the interactive terminals

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
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
