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
Fall prevention for the elderly in a long-term care institution : Development of an exercise program based on EBN
Full text link【研究目的】
本研究は療養型病床群の脆弱な高齢者を対象に移乗・移動にともなう筋力および身体バランスを高め、かつ転倒予防への自信を高めるためにEvidence-based Nursing(EBN)に基づいた、病棟生活に取り入れ可能な看護師が実施する運動プログラムを作成することであった。
【研究方法と成果】
EBNに基づいて試作した運動プログラムの内容は、(1)静的ストレッチング、(3)筋力・筋持久力運動、(4)バランス運動(足指トレーニング、固有受容性神経筋促通法の活用)、(5)整理体操であった。試作した運動プログラムは書面により同意が得られた介入群16名(対照群14名)に導入し、3ヶ月間実施した。結果、運動プログラムは,介入群と対照群の年齢,性,運動機能,知的レベル,転倒リスクに差がない状態において,筋力は向上できなかったが,移乗・移動能力の維持,重心動揺の軽減,および転倒率を減少することができ,かつ運動による損傷や発症を引き起こすことがなかった点で療養型病床群の脆弱な高齢者に有効と考えられた。そして、試作した運動プログラムの修正課題は、下肢筋力向上、上肢筋力維持または向上、転倒自己効力感の向上、精神活動の維持・向上について挙げられた。それらを踏まえてプログラム内容を修正し、同意が得られた介入群21名(対照群19名)に3ヶ月間実施した結果、プログラムの課題であった下肢筋力は向上できなかったが、上肢筋力は維持でき、転倒自己効力感は向上できたため、ある程度の修正ができたと考えられた。Our aim was to develop an exercise program for fall prevention, based on evidence-based nursing (EBN), to not only increase muscle strength in the lower extremities, balance, and mobility, but also to decrease fear of falling and to increase self-efficacy for fall prevention in the elderly in a long-term care institution. We developed an exercise program which consisted of a warm-up, static stretching exercise, muscle strengthening in the lower extremities, balance training (toe training and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation), and a cool-down, based on EBN. The study design was a clinical trial. We developed a program through two trials. In the first trial, the 30 elderly participants who agreed to our study were divided into an intervention group of 16 people and a control group of 14 people. The length of the program was three months, and we measured muscle strength, balance, mobility, fear of falling, self efficacy for fall, and the number of falls to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. As a result, the intervention group showed increased balance and mobility and a decreased number of falls, although muscle strength and self-efficacy for fall did not increase and arm strength decreased significantly. No training-related medical problems occurred. We modified the program to increase muscle strength in the lower extremities, to increase or maintain arm strength and self efficacy for fall. In the second trial, 40 elderly participants were divided into an intervention group of 21 people and a control group of 19 people. The results showed a maintaining of arm strength and an increase of self-efficacy for fall but no increase of muscle strength in the lower extremities. In conclusion, an exercise program for fall prevention in the elderly in a long-term institution may be useful.研究課題/領域番号:14572270, 研究期間(年度):2002-2004出典：「療養型病床群における高齢者の転倒予防: EBNに基づいた運動プログラムの作成」研究成果報告書 課題番号14572270

Development of a fall prevention program based on the holistic approach by multiple types of staff
Full text link開発したアプローチ法の概要は,転倒予防プログラムの活用方法の教授、ならびに職種の対等性やチーム医療における目標の共有、各職種のアプローチ方法の独自性や職種役割に関する教育の共有についてであった。結果,「転倒予防に関する知識が増えた」「転倒リスクをより具体的に判断できるようになった」「転倒予防方法をより適切に実践できるようになった」「転倒予防を通してスタッフと意識の共有ができた」等で介入群と対照群に有意差があり,本アプローチ法の使用は有効と示唆された。The approach method was consisted of share of equality among staff members, concept of team approach as continuing education, and knowing care/therapy approach methods by each profession and their roles related to fall prevention. In results, significances were shown in increased knowledge, ability of risk assessment, care ability toward fall prevention, and increased sharing of consciousness among staff members for collaboration. Therefore, it was suggested that this method would be useful.研究課題/領域番号:21592745, 研究期間(年度):2009-2011出典：研究課題「多職種による包括的アプローチ法を土台とした転倒予防プログラムの開発」課題番号21592745

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
Development of a computer-simulated clinical judgment training program for fall prevention
Full text link目的は，転倒（転落含む）のハイリスク状態にある生活機能障害をもつ患者に，効果的に転倒予防を実践できるための看護師の臨床判断力育成を包含した転倒予防のためのコンピューターシミュレーションプログラムを開発することであった。本プログラムは応用力育成トレーニング，連携力育成トレーニング，看護管理力育成トレーニングから主に構成される。3施設の看護師および転倒予防実践家看護師に評価をしてもらったところ，応用力育成トレーニングおよび連携力育成トレーニングの妥当性，重要性，実行性の合意率は概ね100％近くあり実践の場で使用可能であると分かった。しかし，看護管理力育成トレーニングは修正が必要である。The aim of this study was to develop a Computer-Simulated Clinical Judgment Training Program for clinical nurses regarding fall prevention. The program was composed of training for applied skills, training for Interprofessional Collaboration, and training for nursing management abilities for fall prevention. Agreement rates of validity, importance, and effectiveness about the training for applied skills to fall prevention and the training for Interprofessional Collaboration showed almost 100%. We found that those two trainings would be feasibility. On the other hand, we recognized that the training for nursing management abilities for fall prevention should be revised for effectiveness.研究課題/領域番号:24390490, 研究期間(年度):2012-04-01 - 2016-03-31出典：研究課題「臨床判断力育成を包含した転倒予防のコンピューターシミュレーションプログラムの開発」課題番号24390490

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
