    Thalassemia β mayor merupakan kelainan genetik yang ditandai dengan kelainan darah herediter yang disebabkan mutasi gen β globin yang mengatur pembentukan salah satu komponen penyusun hemoglobin sehingga produksi rantai β globin menjadi sedikit atau tidak terbentuk sama sekali. Berdasarkan data Kementerian Kesehatan tahun 2019 jenis thalassemia yang paling sering ditemukan di Indonesia adalah thalassemia β mayor sebanyak 50% dari populasi. Terapi yang dianjurkan untuk pasien thalassemia mayor adalah transfusi darah sepanjang hidupnya. Salah satu efek samping dari terapi transfusi darah berulang adalah iron overload yang menyebabkan hipokalsemia dan komplikasi osteoporosis. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui apakah terdapat hubungan antara kadar feritin dengan kadar kalsium pada pasien thalassemia β mayor. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian analitik observasional dan desain penelitian cross sectional. Penelitian ini dilakukan di RSD dr. Soebandi Jember, RS Jember Klinik pada bulan Desember 2019-Januari 2020. Populasi penelitian ini adalah seluruh pasien berusia 1-18 tahun yang telah terdiagnosis thalassemia β mayor terdiri dari 13 sampel pasien. Hasil penelitian ini diuji dengan analisis Pearson korelasi kadar feritin dengan kadar kalsium didapatkan p=0,858 yang menunjukkan bahwa tidak adanya korelasi yang bermakna dengan nilai p<0,05 pada pasien thalassemia β mayor di RSD dr. Soebandi Jember dan RS Jember Klinik

    Relationship between Ferritin Levels with Calcium Levels in Patients Thalassemia β Major in Hospital in Jember

    Thalassemia β major is a hereditary disorder caused by mutations in the β-globin gene, which regulates the formation of one of the components that make up hemoglobin. This disorder results in the production of β-globin chains being reduced or not formed. The prevalence of thalassemia carriers in Indonesia reached 3.8% of the entire population based on data from the Ministry of Health in 2019. Therapy for thalassemia β major patients is lifelong transfusion, which results in iron overload and triggers hypocalcemia and osteoporosis. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between ferritin levels and calcium levels in thalassemia β major patients. This study uses an observational analytic research type and a cross-sectional research design. This research was conducted at the RSD dr. Soebandi Jember, Jember Clinic Plantation Hospital, and in December 2019-January 2020. The total sample was 13 patients suffering from thalassemia β major aged 1-18 years. The results of the Pearson analysis showed that p=0.858 &nbsp;showed that there was no &nbsp;ignificant correlation between ferritin levels and calcium levels in Thalassemia β major in Jember.&nbsp; &nbsp; Keywords: Thalassemia β major, ferritin levels, calcium levels, hypocalcemi

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    We 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
