ANALISIS FAKTOR RESIKO KEJADIAN OBESITAS PADA REMAJA DI KOTA GORONTALO
Get PDFABSTRAK Menurut World Health Organization (WHO) 2006, secara global terdapat lebih dari satu milyar penduduk dewasa yang kelebihan berat badan (gemuk), 300 juta diantaranya kegemukan (obes). Sejak tahun 1980 dibeberapa wilayah di Amerika Utara, Inggris, Eropa Timur, Timur Tengah, Kepulauan Pasifik, Australia dan Cina, jumlah penduduk yang menderita kegemukan berlipat tiga kali. Sebuah penelitian terbaru yang dipublikasikan dalam American Journal of Epidemiology, mengungkapkan, obesitas yang dialami seseorang pada saat remaja berkaitan erat dengan peningkatan risiko kematian di usia paruh baya.Penelitian tersebut melibatkan 227 ribu pria dan wanita Norwegia yang diukur tinggi dan berat badannya antara tahun 1963-1975 saat mereka berusia antara 14 -19 tahun, dengan mengikuti perkembangan mereka sampai tahun 2004, saat mereka rata-rata berusia 52 tahun, 9.650 orang diantaranya meninggal. Dari hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa mereka yang mengalami obesitas atau overweight (kelebihan berat badan) saat remaja diketahui 3-4 kali lebih beresiko mengalami penyakit jantung yang berujung pada kematian. Resiko kanker kolon serta penyakit pernapasan asma dan emfisema juga meningkat 2-3 kali (Anonymous, 2008)
Risiko Penularan HIV/AIDS pada Pekerja Seks Komersial (PSK) di Provinsi Gorontalo.
Get PDFAbstrakPengidap HIV/AIDS dan penderita AIDS sebagian besar masih berusia produktif. Menurut perhitungan kalau penderita berumur 25-29 tahun, sedangkan masa inkubasi sejak terjangkitnya HIV positif sampai AIDS positif adalah 5-10 tahun dapat diduga bahwa mereka tertular HIV sejak berumur 15-20 tahun (Padang, 2005). Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui gambaran tingkat pengetahuan PSK terhadap HIV/AIDS di Provinsi Gorontalo.Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah bersifat deskriptif analitik, sampel terdiri atas 53 orang yang bekerja sebagai PSK di wilayah Provinsi Gorontalo. Hasil penelitian ini diperoleh bahwa pengetahuan Pekerja Seks Komersial (PSK) terhadap penyakit HIV/AIDS dari 162 responden diperoleh 96 orang (59.25%) dikategorikan cukup, 38 orang (23.45%) berpengetahuan baik dan 28 orang (17.30%) diketahui berpengetahuan kurang
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
Hubungan Tingkat Stres Remaja Dengan Kemampuan Beradaptasi Di Asrama Pondok Pesantren Sabrun Jamil
Get PDFSevere stress can make the adaptability of adolescents adaptive or maladaptive and threaten a person's ability to deal with their environment. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between adolescent stress levels and adaptability. This is a quantitative observational analytical study with a cross sectional design. The sample size was 69 teenagers who were selected using proportional stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS 42) questionnaire for stress levels and the Individual Adaptability (I-ADAPT) questionnaire for adaptability. The data were analyzed using the chi-square test statistical test. The results showed that adolescents who experienced severe stress with maladaptive adaptability of 30 (54.5%). The results of the analysis show that there is a significant relationship between adolescent stress levels and adaptability with p value = 0.000 = 0.05. there is a relationship between stress levels and adaptability in adolescents. counseling guidance is needed for students who experience stress and the ability to adapt
