Comparing brain-behavioral systems, early maladaptive schemas, and preservative thinking in women with and without pregnancy anxiety in the health center of Ardabil Province, Iran
Get PDFBACKGROUND: Anxiety and depression in women during pregnancy could be associated with unfavorable consequences of pregnancy, such as premature and low-weight newborn birth. Current study was conducted aiming to compare brain-behavioral systems, early maladaptive schemas (EMSs), and preservative thinking in women with and without pregnancy anxiety.
METHODS: The method of this research was causal-comparative. The population included of the whole pregnant women who had been referred to Urban Health Service Centers of Ardabil Province, Iran, in order to receive pregnancy period cares at first quarter of 2017. 30 pregnant women whose pregnancy anxiety had been diagnosed by mental health experts and the physicians of the center trough screening and administering Pregnancy-related Anxiety Scale (PrAS) were selected using cluster random sampling. 30 women without anxiety were matched with the women having pregnancy anxiety in terms of age, times of pregnancy, number of children, education level, and economic status. For data collecting, Huizink et al.’s PrAS, Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ) of Welburn et al., the behavioral inhibition system/behavioral activation system (BIS/BAS) scale of Carver and White, and Ehring et al.’s Preservative Thinking Questionnaire (PTQ) were used. The obtained data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) using SPSS software.
RESULTS: The results of MANOVA showed that there was a significant difference between brain-behavioral systems, EMSs, and preservative thinking in women with and without pregnancy anxiety (P < 0.010).
CONCLUSION: Since maladaptive schemas, brain-behavioral systems, and preservative thinking are higher in pregnant women with anxiety than pregnant women without anxiety, so counselling, supportive, and training programs are essential for vulnerable mothers
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
The Mediating Role of Academic Emotions and Psychological Well-Being in the Relationship between Perfectionism and Academic Stress in Students
Get PDFThe purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of academic emotions (positive and negative) and psychological well-being in the relationship between perfectionism and academic stress in undergraduate students of Mohaghegh Ardabili University. The present study was conducted purposively and the method of data collection was descriptive correlation. The statistical population of the study included all students of Mohaghegh Ardabili College who were studying in the academic year 2019-2020. 370 subjects were selected as sample size by multistage clustering method. Academic Stress Questionnaire (ASQ), Perfectionism Questionnaire (PANPS), Academic Emotions Questionnaire (AEQ) and Psychological Well-Being Questionnaire (RPWBQ) were used. The results showed that positive perfectionism has a negative relationship with academic stress and negative perfectionism was positively related to academic stress, positive academic emotions were negatively related to academic stress, and negative academic emotions were positively related to academic stress. There was a negative relationship between psychological well-being and academic stress. Due to the indirect statistical theorem (T-subel) and VAF index, the mediation of negative and positive academic emotions and psychological well-being was found between positive and negative perfectionism variables with significant academic stress. According to the results, it is suggested that due to the important and significant role of academic emotions as a mediating variable, the positive and negative academic emotions of students should be identified, and by strengthening positive emotions and reducing negative emotions and improving well-being, the foundation for reducing academic stress in students should be established
The effectiveness of transcranial direct current stimulatian (tDCS) on improving attention in women with chronic schizophrenia
Get PDFAbstractSchizophrenia is one of the most common and severe psychiatric disorders that is characterized by abnormalities in perception, behavior, motivation, thinking and cognition. One of these cognitive defects is a defect in attention. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulatian (tDCS) on improving attention in women with chronic schizophrenia in Ardabil in 1395. In this experimental study (pre-test and post-test with control group), the statistical population included all women with chronic schizophrenia in Ardabil city, which 28 persons of them, were selected randomly selected who were in Rehabilitation centers of Ardebil and randomly divided into two experimental(n=14) and control groups (n=14). The members of both groups were individually subjected to a pretest test using Toulouse Pieron attention Test, then the intervention using tDCS on the test group for 10 consecutive days in 20 minutes with anode, FP2 and The cathode, shoulder was performed individually by the trained researcher. The post-test was performed on both experimental and control groups. To analyze the data, univariate covariance analysis was used. The results showed that tDCS increased the mean scores of attention (p <0.05) in subjects with chronic schizophrenia. Considering that tDCS has a significant effect on improving the attention of people with chronic schizophrenia, it can be concluded that tDCS can improve the attention of people with chronic schizophrenia
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
