La première mise en couple en Suisse : choix du type d'union et devenir de la cohabitation hors mariage
No full textCharton Laurence, Wanner Philippe.- First couple formation in Switzerland: choice of type of union and outcome of extra-marital cohabitation Changes in family formation behaviour are responsible for the coexistence of two forms of union in the developed countries: the fairly "flexible" extra-marital cohabitation, and the more formal or official form, marriage. Cohabitation is on the increase in Switzerland, currently accounting for nearly 9 in 10 newly-formed couples, but marriage is still considered the necessary condition for starting a family and the level of extra-marital births remains among the lowest in Europe. In this context, it is highly instructive to study the factors that influence decisions about the form of the first union and the duration of non-marital cohabitation. The main finding of this article based on a survey of the family is that decisions about type of union are strongly influenced by religious observance, the fact of being pregnant, and economic circumstances. While educational attainment appears not to modify the form of union chosen at the time of couple formation, it is associated with the durations of premarital cohabitation.Charton Laurence, Wanner Philippe.- La première mise en couple en Suisse : choix du type d'union et devenir de la cohabitation hors mariage Les modifications des comportements familiaux ont provoqué, dans les pays occidentaux, la coexistence de deux formes d'union, l'une plutôt « souple », la cohabitation hors mariage, l'autre plus solennelle ou officielle, le mariage. En Suisse, alors que la cohabitation augmente pour concerner aujourd'hui près de 9 couples qui se constituent sur 10, le mariage reste la condition nécessaire à la naissance de l'enfant, les naissances hors mariage étant toujours à un niveau parmi les plus faibles d'Europe. Dans ce contexte, l'étude des facteurs susceptibles d'influencer le choix de la forme de la première union, ainsi que la durée de la première cohabitation non maritale, sont riches en enseignements. Reposant sur une enquête sur la famille, cet article montre notamment le rôle très marqué de la pratique religieuse, d'une éventuelle grossesse en cours et de la situation économique sur le choix du type d'union. Alors qu'il ne paraît pas modifier la forme d'union choisie au moment de la mise en couple, le niveau de formation atteint a une influence sur la durée passée en cohabitation prémaritale.Charton Laurence, Wanner Philippe.- La primera union en pareja en Suiza: tipo de union y evolución de la cohabitación fuera del matrimonio En los países occidentales, las transformaciones de los comportamientos familiares han dado como resultado la coexistencia de dos formas de union: una relativamente flexible, la cohabitación fuera del matrimonio, y otra más oficial, el matrimonio. En Suiza, 9 de cada 10 nuevas parejas optan por la cohabitación, pero el matrimonio sigue siendo una condición necesana para el naciimento de un hijo; los nacimientos fuera del matrimonio se mantienen en uno de los nivelés más bajos de Europa. El estudio de los factures que influyen en la elec- ción del tipo de union y en la duración de la primera cohabitación no marital aporta înforma- ción interesante. En base a una encuesta sobre la familia, este articulo muestra, por ejemplo, que la práctica religiosa, la situación económica y un embarazo en curso juegan un papel importante en el tipo de union. El nivel de formación no parece influir en el tipo de union esco- gido pero si en la duración de la cohabitación prematrimonial.Charton L., Wanner P.

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
The self-reported health of immigrant groups in Switzerland
Get PDFBACKGROUND: More than 20% of people living in Switzerland are immigrants, defined as people with foreign nationality. This study examines health disparities between the main immigrant groups in Switzerland and the majority Swiss population. METHODS: Epidemiological analysis of the 2002 Swiss Health Survey (SHS): the SHS contains health-related information about 19,706 people who were randomly sampled from among people living in Switzerland. Bi-variate and multivariate analyses of six variables on self-reported health were performed. FINDINGS: The data from the 2002 Swiss Health Survey provide some evidence of health disparities between Swiss people and immigrants. Although the self-reported health of "Northern immigrants" (people from Germany and France) does not differ significantly from that of the majority Swiss population, "Southern immigrants" (people from Italy, Former Yugoslavia, Portugal, Spain and Turkey) report lower levels of health in several areas. Lower levels of health are particularly likely to be reported by Italian men and women. CONCLUSION: The self-reported health of immigrants is currently inferior to that of the Swiss. If it is the position of the Swiss health care system to ensure equal health provision for all Swiss residents, including immigrant groups, and to strive for equal health outcomes for all, self-reported ill health among immigrants is a useful basis for health policy and planning
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
