Authors: Paoletti Mercedes Eugenia , Haut Juan Mario , Plaza Javier , Plaza Antonio
Published: February 2019

Las imágenes hiperespectrales constituyen el núcleo de varios programas de observación remota de la Tierra. La cantidad de información que contienen estas imágenes, formadas por cientos de canales espectrales estrechos y casi continuos, resulta de gran utilidad en aplicaciones en las que la caracterización de los materiales observados en la superficie terrestre resulta de gran relevancia. Esto se debe a la posibilidad de caracterizar de forma inequívoca cada material a través de su firma espectral. Algunas de estas aplicaciones son la agricultura de precisión, la planificación de espacios urbanos, o la prevención y seguimiento de desastres naturales. Sin embargo, la gran dimensión de las imágenes hiperespectrales supone un reto en su tratamiento, almacenamiento y procesamiento, debido a la gran variabilidad espectral y la correlación existente en los datos. En la literatura se han desarrollado múltiples algoritmos de análisis de imágenes hiperespectrales. En este artículo revisamos los algoritmos más utilizados para la clasificación de este tipo de imágenes, realizando experimentos con tres imágenes públicas y presentando una comparativa entre los métodos más ampliamente utilizados en este campo.

A internacionalização das Instituições de Educação Superior (IES) brasileiras é um dos focos de atenção dos gestores universitários e das agências reguladoras, à exemplo da CAPES, responsável pela avaliação dos programas de pós-graduação stricto sensu no Brasil. A internacionalização das IES pode assumir diversas facetas e neste artigo analisamos especificamente a implementação de um módulo internacional em um curso de mestrado profissional de uma universidade brasileira. Os resultados deste estudo de caso único, evidenciam a importância deste programa na internacionalização da universidade brasileira e da parceira de acolhimento norte-americana. Indicam também, que o módulo internacional está alinhado aos objetivos estratégicos de internacionalização. Ademais, ficam manifestos os efeitos positivos para os estudantes no que concerne o compartilhamento de experiências, imersão intercultural e aprendizado de perspectivas internacionais e de alto-nível no tema de estudo. Este estudo contribui especialmente para o entendimento de como a incorporação de módulos internacionais pode ser uma ação viável e relevante na internacionalização das IES brasileiras, com potenciais implicações positivas na avalição promovida pela CAPES.
Borders and Mobility in South Asia and Beyond
Authors: Jones Reece , Ferdoush Md. Azmeary
Published: February 2019

The world is experiencing one of the largest movements of people in history with 65 million people in 2015 alone displaced by conflict, the majority of these coming from Asia. This book offers a deep engagement with individuals whose lives were shaped by encounters with borders: by telling the stories of a poor Bangladeshi women who regularly crosses the India border to visit family, Muslims from India living in Gulf countries for work, and the traumatic journey of a young Afghan man as he sets off on foot towards Germany.

The international and interdisciplinary work in this book analyses how mobility and diaspora are engaged in literature and media and how the lives of migrants are transformed during their journey to new homes in South Asia, the Middle East, North America, and Europe, coalescing in a timely portrait of migrancy and undesired mobility.
Simulations of Black Carbon Over Indian Region: Improvements and Implications of Diurnality in Emissions
Authors: Govardhan Gaurav , Satheesh Sreedharan Krishnakumari , Moorthy Krishnaswamy Krishna , Nanjundiah Ravi
Published: February 2019

Abstract. With a view to improving the performance of WRF-Chem over the Indian region in simulating BC (black Carbon) mass concentrations as well as its short-term variations, especially on diurnal scale, a region-specific diurnal variation scheme has been introduced in the model emissios and the performance of the modified simulations has been evaluated against high-resolution measurements carried out over 8 ARFI (Aerosol Radiative Forcing over India) network observatories spread across India for distinct seasons; pre-monsoon (represented by May), post-monsoon (represented by October) and winter (represented by December). In addition to an overall improvement in the simulated concentrations and their temporal variations, it has also been found that the effects of prescribing diurnally varying emissions on the simulated near-surface concentrations largely depend on the boundary layer turbulence. The effects are perceived fast (within about 2–3 hours) during the evening–early morning hours when the atmospheric boundary layer is shallow and convective mixing is weak, while they are delayed, taking as much as about 5–6 hours, during periods when the boundary layer is deep and convective mixing is strong. This information would also serve as an important input for agencies concerned with urban planning and pollution mitigation. Despite these improvements in the near-surface concentrations, the simulated columnar aerosol optical depth (AOD) still remains largely underestimated vis-a-vis the satellite retrieved products. These modifications will serve as a guideline for further model-improvement initiatives at regional scale.
Field investigations of coastal sea surface temperature drop after typhoon passages
Authors: Doong Dong-Jiing , Peng Jen-Ping , Babanin Alexander V.
Published: February 2019

Abstract. Sea surface temperature (SST) variability affects marine
ecosystems, fisheries, ocean primary productivity and human activities and
is the primary influence on typhoon intensity. SST drops of a few degrees in
the open ocean after typhoon passages have been widely documented; however,
few studies have focused on coastal SST variability. The purpose of this
study is to determine typhoon-induced SST drops in the near-coastal area
(within 1 km of the coast) and understand the possible mechanism. The
results of this study were based on extensive field data analysis.
Significant SST drop phenomena were observed at the Longdong Buoy in
northeastern Taiwan during 43 typhoons over the past 20 years (1998–2017).
The mean SST drop (ΔSST) after a typhoon passage was 6.1 ∘C,
and the maximum drop was 12.5 ∘C (Typhoon Fungwong in 2008). The
magnitude of the SST drop was larger than most of the observations in the open
ocean. The mean duration of the SST drop was 24 h, and on average, 26.1 h were
required for the SST to recover to the original temperature. The coastal SST
drops at Longdong were correlated with the moving tracks of typhoons. When a
typhoon passes south of Longdong, the strong and persistent longshore winds
induce coastal upwelling and pump cold water up to the surface, which is the
dominant cause of the SST drops along the coast. In this study, it was determined
that cold water mainly intruded from the Kuroshio subsurface into the Okinawa
Trough, which is approximately 50 km from the observation site. The
magnitude of coastal SST drops depends on the area of overlap between
typhoons generating strong winds and the Kuroshio. The dataset used in this
study can be accessed from https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.895002.
DETECTION OF CITIES VEHICLE FLEET USING YOLO V2 AND AERIAL IMAGES
Authors: Lechgar H. , Bekkar H. , Rhinane H.
Published: February 2019

Abstract. Recent progress in deep learning methods has shown that key steps in object detection and recognition can be performed with convolutional neural networks (CNN). In this article, we adapt YOLO (You Only Look Once) to a new approach to perform object detection on satellite imagery. This system uses a single convolutional neural network (CNN) to predict classes and bounding boxes. The network looks at the entire image at the time of the training and testing, which greatly enhances the differentiation of the background since the network encodes the essential information for each object. The high speed of this system combined with its ability to detect and classify multiple objects in the same image makes it a compelling argument for use with satellite imagery.
USING THE SLEUTH URBAN GROWTH MODEL COUPLED WITH A GIS TO SIMULATE AND PREDICT THE FUTURE URBAN EXPANSION OF CASABLANCA REGION, MOROCCO
Authors: Mallouk A. , Elhadrachi H. , Malaainine M. E. I. , Rhinane H.
Published: February 2019

Abstract. The rapid and sometimes uncontrolled acceleration of urban growth, particularly in developing countries, places increasing pressure on environment and urban population well-being, making it a primary concern for managers. In Casablanca city, Morocco’s economic capital, the rapid urbanization was a result of population explosion, rural exodus and the emergence of new urban centers. Therefore, a system for urban growth simulation and prediction to anticipate infrastructural needs became indispensable to optimize urban planning. The main aim of this work is to study the urban extension of the Grand Casablanca region from 1984 to 2022 and to predict urban growth in 2040 using the SLEUTH cellular automaton model. The methodology consists of calibrating the model using data extracted from a time series of satellite images with a resolution of 30 m acquired between 1984 and 2018, as well as vector data relating to the urban projects planned on the horizon of 2022. The supervised classification and digitization of these images, together with a DEM of the study area, provided the input data required by the model, including Slope, Land use, Exclusion, Transportation and Hillshade. This data was introduced into the model using ArcSLEUTH, a custom extension of ArcGIS to compile the SLEUTH model. The result is synthetic maps of urban growth in the study area up to 2040, as well as the expected percentage indicators of change. The result is an effective decision-support tool for decision-makers and planners to develop more informed development strategies for the region and its people.

Published: February 2019

Abstract. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is an active remote sensing technique capable of providing high-resolution imagery independent from daytime and to great extent unimpaired by weather conditions. Unlike the passive remote sensing active radars receive its' own reflected signal. Features of received signal make able to obtain additional information about surface objects and covers. Because of signal, double reflecting upon vertical surfaces like walls, it become common to study urbanized areas using SAR data. Because of mostly similar spectral characteristic of the typical buildings' roofs and sandy soils, that are distinguishing for Morocco, classification using visible and NIR multispectral remote sensing data is complicated. Thus, SAR data processing technique is rather useful while application to deserted area studying and urbanized areas identification.

Abstract. Nowadays, Moroccan oasis agro-ecosystems are under intense effect of natural and anthropogenic factors. Therefore, this essay proposes to use Leaf Area Index (LAI) to assess the consequences of the oases long-term biodegradation. The index was used as a widely-applied parameter of vegetation structure and an important indicator of plant growth and health. Therefore, a new optical multispectral Sentinel-2 data were used to build a long term LAI time series for the area of the Erfoud and Rissani oases, Errachidia province in Drâa-Tafilalet region in Morocco. Nine images of LAI spatial distribution over the study area were obtained by means of SNAP Biophysical Processor over the period since July 2015 till May 2018. Time series analysis of the resultedmaps has revealed a stable trend towards the average LAI decreasing and vegetation structure simplification as a consequence.
The Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica
Authors: Howat Ian M. , Porter Claire , Smith Benjamin E. , Noh Myoung-Jong , Morin Paul
Published: February 2019

Abstract. The Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica (REMA) is the
first continental-scale digital elevation model (DEM) at a resolution of
less than 10 m. REMA is created from stereophotogrammetry with submeter
resolution optical, commercial satellite imagery. The higher spatial and
radiometric resolutions of this imagery enable high-quality surface
extraction over the low-contrast ice sheet surface. The DEMs are registered
to satellite radar and laser altimetry and are mosaicked to provide a
continuous surface covering nearly 95 % the entire continent. The mosaic
includes an error estimate and a time stamp, enabling change measurement.
Typical elevation errors are less than 1 m, as validated by the
comparison to airborne laser altimetry. REMA provides a powerful new
resource for Antarctic science and provides a proof of concept for
generating accurate high-resolution repeat topography at continental
scales.

De la utopía al desencanto del 92 en el cine español
Authors: Sánchez Noriega José Luis
Published: February 2019

La alternativa socialista de 1982, que inicia la España de la postransición, otorga un impulso a la modernización del país y un notable crecimiento económico con la integración en Europa a la vez que defrauda las expectativas de cambio social. Desde el punto de vista social y político, la sociedad española del post-92 experimenta un desencanto del que se va a hacer eco el cine más comprometido y que, con bastante elocuencia, se aprecia en las películas de Mario Camus. En este trabajo se hace balance de los cambios sociales y sucesos relevantes de los gobiernos socialistas (1982-1996) y se indaga en cómo esos filmes los reflejan críticamente con énfasis en las diferencias sociales, las figuras de perdedores, la impostura y la violencia.

Published: February 2019

Human Resource is the most critical, very significant assets in any business organizations but it is not incorporated in the statement of financial position. The study examined the factors that have accounted for the exclusion of Human Resources Accounting in the statement of financial position of companies listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange. The paper also ascertained the relationship between human resource Accounting and firms performance. The study used both primary and secondary data. A regression model was used to ascertain the effects of Human Resource Accounting on a firm's performance. The study used secondary data from a published annual financial statement of all the listed companies on the Ghana Stock Exchange on the period of 2015-2018. The findings revealed that, the exclusion of human resources in the statement of financial position is due to these key obstacles such as: there is no proper clear-cut and specific guidelines for measuring costs and value of human resources; the period of existence of Human Resource is uncertain; there is no universally accepted method of valuation of human resources; no active market for human resource and the financial position of the business may be misleading. Despite the difficulties for the inclusion of HR into financial statement, it is worthy to note from the findings that, human resources contributes positively to a firm’s financial growth as evidenced by the positive effect on Return on Equity (ROE). Therefore, the paper recommends that the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) should consult prime actors and professionals in the accounting field to debate on the arguments against and considerations for human resource inclusion in the Statement of Financial Position

Idiocy and Forlorn Features in Samuel Beckett’s Play “Waiting for Godot”
Authors: Khan Mohammad Owais , Arabia Saudi
Published: February 2019

The aim of this paper is to express the idiocy and forlorn elements in Samuel Beckett’s play ‘Waiting for Godot’. To achieve the goals of the research, it is necessary to investigate deeply a blend of comic and pathos involved in the play. These elements are: first, the idiocy which basically depends on the special language of the play, the pitiful and deplorable elements and the use of irony and satire. The play was written in 1949, translated into many languages and it is still performed in many countries all around the world. Waiting for Godot is hailed as one of the masterpieces of the theatre of absurd. With the manifestation of this play on the horizon there came a revolution in the theatre of the twentieth century that was to continue for a long time to come and influence many writers thereafter. Beckett shades light on the sociological and moralistic perspective with the tinge of humour and pathos. His excellent imagination and literary skill create an unforgettable imprint in the minds of his readers.

Authors: Pakdeenarong Paveerat , Hengsadeekul Thammanoon
Published: February 2019

This study aimed to gain a better understanding of the causal factors that affect dependent variables in the supply chain risk of organic rice in Thailand. Consequently, the purpose of this research was to develop a structural equation model of the supply chain risk. A questionnaire was used to gather data from a sample of 250 farmers who were certified under the organic agriculture standards in Thailand and the data were analyzed using LISREL 8.80. The Chi-square value of 192.21, a degree of freedom of 167, and a p-value of 0.08828 indicated that the model was consistent with the empirical data. The model was composed of 23 observed variables and 3 latent variables: input, organic agriculture standard, and supply chain risk. Input was found to have a positive and direct effect on organic agriculture standard (coefficient of 0.71), and a negative and direct effect on supply chain risk (coefficient of −0.65). Organic agriculture standard had no effect on supply chain risk.
Thermal behaviour of edible crab Cancer pagurus Linnaeus, 1758 in coastal Norway
Authors: Bakke Snorre , Siikavuopio Sten I , Christiansen Jørgen Schou
Published: February 2019

Ocean warming drives latitudinal shifts in the distribution of ectotherm species. The rate and magnitude of such shifts are constrained by physiology and behavioural thermoregulation. Here, we investigated the thermal preference and lower critical temperature (CTmin) in female edible crab Cancer pagurus, a decapod crustacean with an ongoing northward dispersal along the Norwegian coast. The temperature selected by individual crabs from a northern (latitude ~69°N) and southern (latitude ~62°N) location was examined in a horizontal gradient (5.5-14.5°C) under a simulated day and night light regime. Irrespective of origin, crabs showed pronounced responses to the light cycle – during the day crabs stayed inactive in the warm end of the gradient but during night they actively explored the entire gradient. A preferred temperature of ~13 °C (measured as mode of loggings) was identified for crabs at both locations. Righting reflex experiments of crabs exposed to a rapid temperature drop (7 - 1 °C at -0.1 °C/min) identified a CTmin of ~1.3 °C (i.e., the temperature at which 50% of crabs failed to right from an up-side-down position), and with no significant difference between locations (p > 0.05). Our results provide important information about the functional characteristics of edible crab, and are discussed in context of the biology and ongoing northward dispersal of the species.

Published: February 2019

The present work was aimed to compare the extraction efficiency of two techniques, the supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and the ultrasound assisted extraction (UAE) applied to broccoli by-products and utilize the most active extract for prolonging the shelf life of fish burgers. To the aim, the antimicrobial activity of two different percentages of extracts (2% and 5%) were tested against Pseudomonas spp. and Candida krusei. Once the SFE was chosen as the best extraction method, the extract was added to sea-bram burgers to prolong the shelf life. To the aim, both microbiological quality and sensory properties were monitored during refrigerated storage. The SFE-extract addition to fish burgers determined a shelf life increase by about 7 days respect to control samples, without any negative sensory perception.

With the background of snowballing threat of skin wound to public health and economy, this study was undertaken utilizing xanthan gum (Xnt), citric acid (C), gelatin (Gel), glutaraldehyde (G) and HPLC-grade water to fabricate a series of composite hydrogels i.e. Xnt, Xnt:C, Xnt:Gel(3):G, Xnt:C:Gel(3):G, Xnt:Gel(5):G, Xnt:C:Gel(5):G for investigating their wound healing efficacy in experimental rat skin wound model. Physicochemical characterization revealed that all the composite hydrogels contained more than 90% water. The hydrogels displayed swelling ability, biodegradability, good polymeric networks and porosity. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) studies confirmed the presence of bound water and free, intra and inter molecular bound hydrogen bonded OH and NH in the hydrogels. All the hydrogels showed significant wound healing potency in experimental deep second degree skin burns in rats compared to controls. 20 days post-application of hydrogels, Xnt:Gel(3):G, Xnt:Gel(5):G and Xnt:C:Gel(5):G-treated wounds showed better recovery compared to other composite hydrogels. We conclude that, Xnt:Gel(3):G, Xnt:Gel(5):G and Xnt:C:Gel(5):G might be effective wound dressing material.
Industrialização da educação, edtech e prática docente
Authors: Mendonça Neto Octavio Ribeiro de , Vieira Almir Martins , Antunes Maria Thereza Pompa
Published: February 2019

Este trabalho tem por objetivo propor uma reflexão sobre o processo de industrialização da educação nos tempos atuais, levando em conta a presença da educational technology (Edtech) como componente do cotidiano acadêmico-administrativo. Assumindo como elemento central a industrialização da educação, o texto se apresenta na forma de ensaio teórico, colocando em debate argumentos de pensadores que se posicionam a favor ou contra essa industrialização. A obra Industrialiser l’education: anthologie commentée (1913-2012), organizada por Pierre Moeglin (2016), assume papel central neste artigo. Primeiramente, são apresentados indicadores do processo de industrialização mencionado, além de princípios de cunho ideológico. O papel da Edtech também é tratado, inclusive com projeções e estimativas de abrangência em termos de valor de mercado, além do aspecto da educação a distância (EAD), cenário no qual a Edtech assume papel crucial. No tocante à pratica docente, esse processo de industrialização da educação exige das instituições de ensino modelos de gestão baseados na calculabilidade e na busca pela eficiência, introduzindo no ambiente educacional sistemas de informação que, ao mesmo tempo, facilitam atividades dos docentes, mas servem também para vigiar, adestrar (dressage), controlar e avaliar seu desempenho.
Para além das métricas simplistas na pesquisa educativa. As lições da contínua relevância e impacto freiriano
Authors: Fischman Gustavo Enrique , Sales Sandra Regina , Pretti Esther Do Lago e
Published: February 2019

A prática de medir o impacto da pesquisa usando métricas indiretas como o fator de impacto das revistas no campo das Ciências Sociais e, mais especificamente, no campo da educação, tem ganhado força no Brasil e no mundo. Esses processos de avaliação produzem distorções que denominamos de simplimetrificação, já que mensuram a qualidade das pesquisas sem avaliar sua relevância e apenas indiretamente usando a quantidade de artigos publicados em periódicos científicos com alto fator de impacto, ou, no caso do Brasil, bem ranqueados no Qualis. Neste artigo, criticamos esse modelo de avaliação da pesquisa em educação a partir de reflexões sobre o impacto científico, pedagógico e político dos trabalhos de Paulo Freire. Como pesquisador, as publicações de Paulo Freire desafiam quase todas as regras atuais que definem quem é um pesquisador de impacto e muito provavelmente não seria admitido em um programa de pós-graduação brasileiro. Isso é muito irônico, já que Freire é um dos autores mais citados das Ciências Sociais contemporâneas. Neste trabalho concluímos que o exemplo freiriano confirma a importância de que pesquisadores/as façam com que seus trabalhos sejam acessíveis e usáveis por públicos diversos. Acesso e engajamento configuram os pilares para fortalecer a usabilidade da pesquisa educacional contemporânea.

Published: February 2019

Background: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM) uses Bacillus cereus rapid agar (BACARA) and Mannitol-yolk-polymyxin (MYP) agar for the enumeration of the members of B. cereus group. Objective: The automated TEMPO Most Probable Number system was compared with the FDA BAM method for the detection of B. cereus group members in cosmetic products. Methods: We inoculated a range of cosmetic products with pure B. cereus spore suspensions (density = 0.5 McFarland) at high (6 log CFU/mL), medium (5 log CFU/mL), and low (4 log CFU/mL) levels. Test portions were aged for 72 h. Five replicates per sample were analyzed; uninoculated test portions served as controls. We also evaluated whether TEMPO BC erroneously detected non-B. cereus or other adulterant organisms. Results: No significant differences (P > 0.05) were found among the TEMPO BC and the BAM spiral plating methods. Correlations between TEMPO BC – BACARA and TEMPO BC – MYP were 0.895 and 0.893 for powder type products, 0.834 and 0.846 for cream and oil-based products, and 0.929 and 0.923 for liquid products, respectively. Non-B. cereus strains were not detected by TEMPO BC. Conclusions: The TEMPO BC method can be used for the detection of B. cereus in cosmetic products without preservatives, or those preserved with either phenoxyethanol or other organic substances.

Conspiracy mentality in post-conflict societies: Relations with the ethos of conflict and readiness for reconciliation
Authors: Petrović Boban , Međedović Janko , Radović Olivera , Radetić Lovrić Sanja
Published: February 2019

After almost 20 years since the end of the armed conflicts in former Yugoslavia, we are witnesses to the fact that the main causes of the conflicts have not been overcome. Reconciliation between ethnic groups that had been in conflict by means of economic and political cooperation, must have a psychological foundation. This study investigates the relations between Conspiracy Mentality, basic lexical social attitudes, and the factors important for Croatian-Serbian and Kosovo Albanian-Serbian reconciliation, i.e., the Ethos of Conflict and the Readiness for Reconciliation. We hypothesize that Conspiracy Mentality will predict the propensity for reconciliation over and above basic social attitudes, and that will mediate the relations between basic social attitudes and factors contributing (or preventing) reconciliation. With the samples of Serbs from Central Serbia (n = 307) and Northern Kosovo (n = 271), Conspiracy Mentality, Ethos of Conflict, Readiness for Reconciliation and five basic lexical social attitudes (Traditional Religiosity, Unmitigated Self-Interest, Communal Rationalism, Subjective Spirituality, and Inequality-Aversion) were measured. Results showed that Conspiracy Mentality is negatively related to the Readiness for Reconciliation and positively to the Ethos of Conflict. Additionally, Conspiracy Mentality predicts Ethos of Conflict over and above the basic social attitudes. Finally, Conspiracy Mentality mediates the relationships between Traditional Religiosity, Inequality-Aversion and Subjective Spirituality on the one hand, and Ethos of Conflict on the other. The results suggest that Conspiracy Mentality should be taken into consideration when creating policies and programmes focused on reconciliation.

Published: February 2019

Après l’arrivée des techniciens de la documentation sur le marché du travail, quelques employeurs soulevèrent le problème de leur motivation dans le cadre d’un cheminement de carrière. Ceci souleva la question suivante : « Y a-t-il chez le technicien de la documentation déjà sur le marché du travail un besoin d’études de premier niveau universitaire ? » Cet article rapporte les différentes étapes franchies par l’ASTED pour tenter de répondre à cette question. Malgré tous les efforts qui ont déjà été faits, il reste encore des obstacles à surmonter avant d’obtenir une réponse complète.

Le catalogue de l’avenir et l’avenir du catalogue
Authors: Beaudet Christian
Published: February 2019

Les méthodes de travail en bibliothéconomie étant aléatoires, l’avènement de nouvelles formes de catalogues automatisés nous obligera à reconsidérer certaines notions fondamentales, en particulier celle de la notice catalographique. Moyennant une certaine vigilance professionnelle, nous pourrons améliorer sensiblement la qualité de nos services.
Évaluation de Psychological Abstracts par l’entremise de trois systèmes en mode direct : comparaison des résultats d’une recherche bibliographique
Authors: Pagé Alain
Published: February 2019

La plupart des principales banques d’information sont offertes, de nos jours, par plus d’un distributeur commercial. La sélection d’un système donné repose sur certains critères de comparaison parmi lesquels il faut favoriser la cohérence d’une banque (file consistency) et les stratégies d’interrogation des systèmes qui affectent directement les résultats d’une recherche bibliographique et, conséquemment, la qualité du service à offrir à un chercheur. Afin de vérifier ces deux aspects, une recherche bibliographique est menée à l’intérieur de la banque Psychological Abstracts par l’entremise de trois systèmes de repérage de l’information en mode direct : DIALOG/LIS, STAIRS/BRS et ORBIT/SDC. Cette recherche s’établit selon deux approches particulières : une première investigation à l’intérieur de la catégorie « descripteur » uniquement, puis une seconde à l’intérieur des différentes catégories de type « sujet » de l’index principal de la banque Psychological Abstracts.
Le monde de la documentation et les pouvoirs publics
Authors: Chartrand Georges-A.
Published: February 2019

Le président de l’ASTED présente une vue d’ensemble du thème retenu pour le congrès de 1979 de l’association : « Le monde de la documentation et les pouvoirs publics ». Après avoir tenté de définir brièvement le document et le pouvoir public, l’auteur s’attarde au rôle que devraient jouer les divers pouvoirs publics pour rendre plus accessible la documentation à leurs administrés respectifs. Devant les difficultés et les dangers qui marquent les relations entre monde de la documentation et pouvoirs publics, il conclut par l’affirmation que seule une utilisation humaniste de la technologie contribuera à sauvegarder la dimension humaine qui doit caractériser toute diffusion de l’information.
La disponibilité universelle des publications : un nouveau programme de coopération internationale prolongeant le Contrôle bibliographique universel
Authors: Renaud-Frigon Claire
Published: February 2019

La Fédération internationale des associations de bibliothécaires et des bibliothèques (IFLA) vient d’adopter un programme de Disponibilité universelle des publications (UAP). L’UAP prolonge tout en l’enrichissant le Contrôle bibliographique universel (CBU), puisqu’il place la notion de l’utilisateur au coeur même de l’élaboration du système envisagé. L’article présente le concept et résume cette nouvelle initiative de l’IFLA. Toutes les divisions de la Fédération travaillent à la réalisation de ce programme qui vise à rendre les publications du monde entier accessibles à tous, grâce surtout à de vastes collections et à un réseau de prêt universel. Ce programme ne pourra se réaliser qu’avec la coopération de l’ensemble des bibliothèques de tous les pays.
La formation des bibliothécaires en Amérique du Nord : la dernière décennie
Authors: LeBlanc Jean-Jacques
Published: February 2019

Question éminemment importante et toujours d’actualité, la formation professionnelle des bibliothécaires ne saurait laisser personne indifférent. Quelles ont été les grandes lignes de l’évolution des écoles de bibliothéconomie en Amérique du Nord au cours de la dernière décennie ? Y aurait-il lieu de prolonger la durée des programmes ? Quels en sont actuellement le degré de spécialisation et le contenu ? Les méthodes pédagogiques se renouvellent-elles ? Quelle est la place faite à la pratique ? Les écoles se préoccupent-elles de l’éducation permanente ? Autant d’interrogations auxquelles le présent article tente d’apporter des réponses.
L’évaluation des services québécois d’information documentaire; plaidoyer pour une dose de réalisme
Authors: Reicher Daniel
Published: February 2019

L’évaluation des services d’information documentaire se heurte à l’absence d’unités de mesure clairement définies. Pourtant, une évaluation doit être quantifiée pour que ses résultats soient utilisables. Après avoir souligné plusieurs écueils de l’évaluation qui rendent aléatoire l’étude de la satisfaction documentaire des usagers, l’auteur propose que cette difficulté soit résolue en mesurant la compétence des spécialistes en information documentaire plutôt que le contenu intellectuel ou physique des collections des services québécois d’information documentaire.
La formation documentaire et l’apprentissage : vers une stratégie efficace d’implantation
Authors: Tessier Yves
Published: February 2019

La formation documentaire se définit comme un mode spécial d’éducation devant permettre à l’individu de mieux faire face à une société changeante saturée d’information. Cette éducation particulière doit emprunter le chemin de l’apprentissage comme condition déterminante de la réussite. La formulation, la planification et l’implantation d’une stratégie d’apprentissage sont décrites en termes généraux et sont appliquées à la formation documentaire considérée comme une forme d’innovation pédagogique à réaliser dans un milieu éducatif. Cette approche globale est en voie de réalisation à la Bibliothèque de l’Université Laval. Les visites de bibliothèque ont été revues dans une optique d’apprentissage et font l’objet d’un programme spécifique de formation documentaire.
Les débuts de la presse enfantine au Québec : L’Oiseau bleu (1921-1940)
Authors: Deguy-Lepage Françoise
Published: February 2019

La Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Montréal publia, de 1921 à 1940, la première revue québécoise destinée à la jeunesse : L’Oiseau bleu. Un bref historique de la revue précède l’analyse de contenu proprement dite. Celle-ci apporte des précisions sur les idées pédagogiques alors en vigueur, ainsi que sur les conceptions que l’on avait de l’enfant et de la famille.
Les bibliothèques à double allégeance : évolution du concept
Authors: Messier Réal
Published: February 2019

Le concept de l’intégration des bibliothèques publique et scolaire n’est pas nouveau : au siècle dernier, les premières bibliothèques publiques étaient à peine apparues aux États-Unis qu’on leur confiait déjà une mission éducative. Certaines expériences entreprises au Québec furent sans lendemain parce qu’il s’agissait beaucoup plus de juxtaposition que d’intégration des services. L’idée de l’intégration des deux réseaux, reprise récemment par le gouvernement du Québec, se heurte à deux réalités : la très grande différence des milieux à desservir (scolaire et public) et l’évolution même des bibliothèques publiques qui deviendront sans doute davantage des services d’information que des agents d’éducation.

Bibliothèques publiques québécoises et coopération régionale
Authors: Panneton Jacques
Published: February 2019

Les bibliothèques centrales de prêt et les bibliothèques municipales du Québec se sont développées en parallèle, sans effort systématique de coordination. À partir d’un rappel des notions de bibliothèque publique et de réseau, l’auteur identifie les limites et contingences du développement des bibliothèques centrales de prêt et municipales. Il insiste particulièrement sur la spécificité des besoins à combler par opposition aux critères basés sur la taille des municipalités pour décider de leur appartenance structurelle. Il propose ensuite un modèle souple de réseau régional de coordination qui fait appel au concept d’agglomération urbaine et tente d’intégrer les contingences identifiées.
Dix ans de coopération entre les bibliothèques universitaires du Québec : un bilan
Authors: Dupuis Onil
Published: February 2019

L’année 1977 marque le dixième anniversaire de la création du Sous-comité des bibliothèques de la Conférence des recteurs et des principaux des universités du Québec. Celui-ci a joué, dans les milieux universitaires et même au sein de la collectivité des bibliothèques québécoises, un rôle unique. Il a été l’un des premiers organismes de coopération volontaire à amorcer, et surtout à planifier, une mise en commun de ses ressources au bénéfice de l’ensemble de ses membres et de leurs usagers. L’auteur dresse un rapide bilan des activités du Sous-comité et esquisse quelques-uns de ses projets, après avoir situé, dans le contexte plus large de l’ensemble des activités de coopération des universités elles-mêmes, celles dont le Sous-comité des bibliothèques a été l’instigateur.
La place de l’audiovisuel dans les programmes d’enseignement des écoles de bibliothéconomie
Authors: Mercure Gérard
Published: February 2019

Une approche résolument bibliographique et documentaire de l’audiovisuel comme matière d’enseignement dans les écoles de bibliothéconomie est discutée. La nature de la bibliothéconomie et du document l’autorise. Le document audiovisuel ou médium documentaire est admis dans les bibliothèques au même titre, en faisant appel aux mêmes principes et en mettant en cause un même savoir-faire professionnel que le livre mais selon certains critères d’ordre pratique à définir. Cette conception documentaire de l’audiovisuel permet un traitement du sujet plus cohérent et mieux adapté à la nature de la bibliothéconomie et des bibliothèques.
La documentation, d’hier à demain
Authors: Lajeunesse Marcel , Beaulieu André , Mercure Gérard , Brunet Lise
Published: February 2019

La prolifération et la complexité de la documentation au XXe siècle apporta des modifications majeures dans le traitement de la documentation et dans le rôle du personnel qui y est impliqué. Le livre moderne n’est plus le seul mode de diffusion de la pensée ni même le seul support de l’écriture. De nombreux média ont vu le jour. Une classification des média documentaires est essentielle à une compréhension valable du phénomène d’une intégration des média lequel amènera, à son tour, des changements radicaux dans la gestion et les services des bibliothèques. De plus, la terminologie est loin d’être précise dans le domaine de la bibliothéconomie et de la documentation. Enfin une typologie des lieux de stockage est possible en tenant compte de nombreux facteurs (domaines de connaissances ou d’activités, population à desservir, objectifs particuliers à atteindre, etc.).
Contrôle bibliographique universel dans les pays en développement. Éléments de solutions informatiques
Authors: de Varennes Rosario
Published: February 2019

En vue de faciliter le travail qui s’amorce dans les pays en développement, l’auteur recommande un contrôle bibliographique universel (ISBD, ISBN, ISSN, ISRN, etc.) réalisé grâce à l’informatique. Le format MARC pourrait servir de modèle. Il faudrait améliorer également les moyens d’expression du contenu des documents, c’est-à-dire les répertoires de vedettes-matière, les thesauri, les systèmes de classification, etc. La très grande diversité des langues entraînera des problèmes aigus de traduction et de conversion.
