The frequency of using herbs to relieve problems in pregnancy
Full text linkUvod: Nosečnice se za uporabo alternativnega zdravljenja večinoma odločajo v želji, da bi se izognile neželenim učinkom konvencionalnega zdravljenja in teratogenemu vplivu na plod. V nosečnosti je lajšanje zdravstvenih težav z zelišči pogosto pri jutranji slabosti in bruhanju, prebavnih motnjah, prehladu, nespečnosti, okužbah urinarnega trakta in pripravi na porod. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je pridobiti podatke o pogostosti uporabe zelišč v nosečnosti in ugotoviti katera zelišča nosečnice najpogosteje uporabljajo in pri katerih zdravstvenih težavah. Metode dela: V teoretičnem delu diplomskega dela je uporabljena deskriptivna metoda dela s področja uporabe zelišč za lajšanje težav med nosečnostjo, ki jo je avtorica pridobila s kritičnim pregledom znanstvene in strokovne literature. V drugem delu diplomskega dela je bila izvedena kvantitativna raziskava. Podatki za raziskavo so pridobljeni s pomočjo anonimnega spletnega anketnega vprašalnika. Anketni vprašalnik ima 15 vprašanj odprtega in zaprtega tipa. Vprašalnik je objavljen na portalu EnKlik Anketa. Rezultati: Od 111 nosečnic, ki so sodelovale v raziskavi, jih 62% za lajšanje težav raje uporabljala zelišča kot klasična zdravila, od teh pa jih je 84% uporabljajo zelišča že pred nosečnostjo. Največkrat se odločijo za uporabo zelišč zaradi prehlada/gripe (61%), slabosti (46%) in zaprtosti (26%). Najpogosteje uporabljajo ingver (46%), liste maline (42%), brusnice (39%) in komarček (35%). 57% nosečnic, ki so uporabljale zelišča, je kot pripravo na porod uživalo liste maline. Največ nosečnic, ki uživa zelišča med nosečnostjo, biva na podeželju, so stare med 26 in 30 letom in imajo visokošolsko/višješolsko ali univerzitetno izobrazbo. Razprava: Rezultati naše raziskave in primerjalnih tujih študij so si enotni v tem, da se za uporabo zelišč med nosečnostjo največkrat odločijo nosečnice z višjo izobrazbo in tiste, ki bivajo na podeželju. Nosečnice v raziskavi so se največkrat odločile za uporabo ingverja, listov maline in brusnic. Večinoma se nosečnice odločijo za uporabo zelišč, ker se jim zdijo bolj varna in naravna kot klasična zdravila. Zaključek: Z raziskavo smo dobili vpogled o uporabi zelišč za lajšanje zdravstvenih težav v nosečnosti in ugotovili, da si nosečnice želijo bolj naravnega in alternativnega lajšanja zdravstvenih težav v nosečnosti, saj so mnenja da so le ta bolj varna in naravna.Introduction: During their pregnancies women mostly choose alternative treatment in order to avoid side effects, which can occur with conventional treatment, and to avoid teratogens. They use herbs mainly to avoid or treat morning sickness and vomiting, gastrointestinal disorders, colds, insomnia, urinal tract infections and to prepare themselves for childbirth. Purpose: The purpose of this work was to get information how frequent do women use herbs during pregnancy, which herbs do they use and for what purpose. Research method: At first, review of the literature about the use of herbs during pregnancy was made. The author uses descriptive method with critical review of the existing literature. In the second part quantitative research was carried out. Data for the research were obtained using anonymous online survey. The questionnaire had 15 closed-type questions and was published on “EnKlik” survey portal. Results: 62% of participating women preferred herbs over conventional medicine to relieve symptoms in pregnancy, 84% of them used herbs also prior to pregnancy. Mostly they started using herbs because of cold (61%), sickness (46%) and constipation (26%). Mostly they use ginger (46%), raspberry leaves (42%), cranberries (39%) and fennel (35%). More than half (57%) of the women, who preferred herbs over conventional medicine, used raspberry leaves as a preparation for a childbirth. Average pregnant woman using herbs is living in rural area, is between 26 and 30 years old and has university education or higher. Discussion: The results of this and other comparative studies are consistent in the fact that most women, using herbs during pregnancies, are living in rural areas and are highly educated. Mostly they use ginger, raspberry leaves and cranberries. Results show that the common reason that herbs are preferred over conventional drugs is the belief that herbs are more natural and safer. Conclusion: The study provided an insight into the use of herbs with the aim to relieve health problems during pregnancy. Women want more natural solutions, because they think that are more safe and natural
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
