STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORKPLACE DESIGNING AND INDIVIDUAL EFFICIENCY AMONG THE PERSONNEL OF TEHRAN SHAHID MODARRES HOSPITAL IN 2015
Get PDFIntroduction: Today, one of main priorities of managers is increasing efficiency and improvement of provided services in health and treatment domain for increasing people satisfaction. By increasing efficiency in their organizations, managers could pave the way for achieving organizational aims and the country development in health and treatment domain. Regarding the different designing of workplace and factors effective on personnel efficiency in various organizations, this study has been performed with the aim of examining the relation between workplace designing and personnel efficiency. Materials and Methods: The present descriptive study was performed in 2015 in cross-sectional form. The study statistical population was constituted from 750 persons of Tehran Shahid Modarres hospital personnel. For collecting data, scholar- made questionnaire was used whose validity was confirmed. In this study, 107 men and 175 women randomly completed the questionnaire that totally 282 people were examined. The questionnaire validity was calculated using Cronbach alpha between 0.691 and 0.701. Data obtained from the questionnaire was analyzed using SPSS software and statistical analysis (variance analysis, dependent T-test, Pierson correlation test, regression). In data analysis the highest and lowest score was 1 and 5. Results: Findings indicate that workplace physical factor including furniture, temperature, noise and music had significant relations with efficiency and lighting and spatial arrangement did not have any significant relation with efficiency. Generally, temperature with correlation (0.241) had the highest impact and noise (0.137) had the least impact on efficiency. Conclusion: Improvement and suitable designing of workplace leads satisfaction and increasing personnel efficiency
Factores que afectan la independencia de la gestión hospitalaria en University of Medical Science en Iran
Get PDFIntroduction: Governmental hospitals have so far managed in different ways to increase the efficiency of hospitals, each of which has its disadvantages and advantages. This study aimed to determine the factors affecting the independence of hospital management in Iran University of Medical Science. Material and Methods: This descriptive-survey study was conducted pragmatically at hospitals of Iran University of Medical Sciences to identify obstacles and provide the necessary infrastructure by conducting study and follow-up. The sample was 94 people including university dean, deputies and chief executives of hospitals, educational and research deputies, therapists and professionals. Questionnaire was used as data collection tools and field data collection method. Results: The mean age of participants was 47.24 ± 5.41 years. Cronbach's alpha of 41 questions was assessed to test the reliability of the questionnaire. The total alpha coefficient was 0.843. The results showed that the mean score of all domains based on experience time was not significantly different (p> 0.05). The mean score of all domains in the first and third items based on education was statistically significant (p <0.05). In other items, there was no significant difference based on education level (p> 0.05). Conclusion: In general, according to the results and extracted five items, the independence of hospital management can improve the efficacy of services and satisfy the patients and staff.Introducción: Los hospitales gubernamentales hasta ahora se han manejado de diferentes maneras para aumentar la eficiencia de los hospitales, cada uno de los cuales tiene sus desventajas y ventajas.

Resultado: Los resultados mostraron que la puntuación media de todos los dominios basada en el tiempo de experiencia no fue significativamente diferente (p> 0,05). La puntuación media de todos los dominios en el primer y tercer ítems basados en educación fue estadísticamente significativa (p <0,05). En otros ítems, no hubo diferencias significativas en función del nivel educativo (p> 0,05). Conclusión: En general, de acuerdo con los resultados y extraídos cinco ítems, la independencia de la gestión hospitalaria puede mejorar la eficacia de los servicios y satisfacer a los pacientes y al personal
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
