The effects of iron deficiency on infants' developmental test performance
No full textAim: To assess the effects of iron deficiency on developmental test scores in infants. Methods: This prospective, single-blind, controlled clinical intervention study was made on 108 children aged 6-30 mo who applied to our paediatric outpatient clinic. The cases were classified as control (n = 31, haemoglobin greater than or equal to11 g/dl, serum ferritin > 12 mug/l, MCV greater than or equal to70 fl), non-anaemic iron deficiency (NAID, n = 40, haemoglobin greater than or equal to 11 g/dl, serum ferritin less than or equal to 12 mug/l, MCV greater than or equal to70 fl) and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA, n = 37, haemoglobin <11 g/dl, ferritin &LE; 12 &mu;g/l, MCV <70 fl) due to their anaemia status. In each group, MCV, haemoglobin and ferritin levels were measured, and Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) and Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID-I) were administered before and after a 3-mo follow-up. IDA and about half of the NAID subjects were treated with oral iron for 3 mo. Results: Subjects with iron deficiency showed significantly lower developmental test scores both with BSID-I and DDST-II compared to their iron-sufficient peers (p < 0.05). After 3 mo of iron treatment, lower mental developmental test scores were no longer observed among the IDA and NAID groups whose anaemia and iron deficiency were also corrected. No significant differences were found between control NAID and control IDA groups on DGTT-II results after treatment. The difference in motor and mental developmental scores did not appear to depend on environmental and family factors considered in the analyses. Conclusion: These findings support the conclusions that iron deficiency may cause lower mental I and motor test scores in infants and these adverse effects can be improved by iron therapy

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
Village institutions from the vi ewpoint of philosophy of education
No full textBu çalışmada köy enstitüleri öğretim programları ve kurumsal yönetim açısından eğitim felsefeleri bağlamın da tartışılmıştır. Araştırmada analitik araştırma türlerinden doküman araştırması deseninden yararlanılmış, veri kaynakları olarak Köy Enstitüleriyle ilgili dokümanlar kullanılmış ve veriler yorumlamacı tematik analiz tekniğiyile analiz edilmiş tir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre Köy Enstitüleri, Cumhuriyetin kurucu ideolojisini ve kültürünü yayma ve savunma nitelikleriyle esasici ve daimici felsefelerinin özelliklerini göstermektedir. Enstitüler, toplumsal yapıya uygunlukları ile 'realist' ve 'pragmatik' nitelik gösterirken; yeni toplumu oluşturma niteliği ile oluşturmacılık felsefesinin özelliklerini taşımaktadır. Enstitüler, ayrıca 'iş içinde üretim için' eğitim anlayışıyla politeknik eğitimin kimi niteliklerini yansıtmaktadır. Enstitülerde öncelikle iş odaklı çalışmalarla klasik yönetim anlayışı göreceli egemenlik göstermektedir. Bunun yanında, katılımlı yönetim ve insana değer veriş nitelikleriyle de davranışçı-çevreci anlayışları yansıtmaktadır. Bu anlayışların birer ürünü olarak eğitim fels efesi bağlamında eğitim programı boyutunda esasici, ilerlemeci ve oluşturmacı felsefelerin baskın olduğu eklektik bir anlayış görüldüğü söylenebilir. Kurumsal yönetim bağlamında ise; yer yer klasik ve neo -klasik yönetim yanısmaları görülmektedir.In this study Village Institutes curriculums and the institutional administration are discussed in the context of educational philophies. Document research design is utilized in the research, documents on the Willage Instutitions are used and data are analized through interpretative thematic analysis technique. Institutions have shown „perennialist& , „essentialist& characteristics with the role of spreading and defending the founding ideology and culture. They reveal the characteristics of realism, pragmatism and constructivism with the function of constructing the new society. With the educational v iew of „production at work& , they reflect some of the characteristics of polytechnic education. In institutions, both work-oriented studies and classic administration view show relative dominance. Institutions display behaviorist-environmentalist approaches in terms of participative administration and humanitarian purposes. Therefore a tendency towards an eclectic perception in which progressive, essentialist and constructivist philosophies are dominant can be claimed to exist. In the context of instutional management, classical and neo -classical management reflections are observed
Využití sociálních médií v B2B prodeji
No full textTato diplomová práce se zabývá tím, jak mohou B2B obchodníci využívat sociální média v prodeji. Na základě systematické rešerše literatury, autor zjistil, že akademici, zkoumající danou problematiku, navrhují další výzkum, a to: v kterých konkrétních krocích se dají využít sociální média v prodeji (Salo, 2017). Autor se na základě toho rozhodl zjistit, jaké sociální sítě, různé technologie a pluginy se dají využít v B2B prodeji - tzv. social sellingu. Social selling se v této práci týká primárně procesu akvizice a okrajově péčí o stávající zákazníky. Autor si vybral kvalitativní průzkum pomocí 10 hloubkových polo-strukturovaných rozhovorů, aby odhalil jak, která sociální média to jsou, tak i motivaci prodejců, proč tato média používat/nepoužívat. Aby autor dodržel správnost vyhodnocení výsledků, data byla analyzována pomocí Tématické analýzy, která v této studii vykrystalizovala 2 hlavní strategické přístupy v social sellingu. Tyto přístupy (tzv. Push a Pull strategie) obsahují praktické příklady a konkrétní aktivity, které mohou prodejci využívat v každodenní praxi. Tyto výsledky jsou prezentovány s důrazem na praktičnost a jednoduchost implementace. Tvoří proto hlavní přínos autorovo výzkumu. V poslední části autor zmiňuje výzvy a manažerská doporučení, které mohou obchodníci využít v každodenním pracovním životě.This diploma thesis focuses on social media usage in B2B sales. Based on the systematic literature review conducted by the author, he has found out that recent researchers (Salo, 2017) suggest further research in the area of how and in which sales phase should various social networking sites, technologies and plugins used. To further fill this research gap, author decided to identify these social media and their usage among B2B salespeople in the so-called social selling process. The social selling process in this thesis applies mainly to acquiring new prospects and tangentially to taking care of existing clients (follow-up step). Author has chosen a qualitative research method via conducting 10 in-depth semi-structured interviews to reveal these instruments as well as motivation of a sales person on why to use social media in the selling process. The collected data was analyzed using Thematic analysis to ensure the right procedure and to identify main themes which crystalized into 2 main strategic approaches in social selling. These approaches (Push and Pull) include practical examples of concrete activities which sales people can use in their daily jobs and are presented with focus on practicality and ease of implementation. These also form the main contribution of author`s research. In the last part, author mentions challenges in social selling and recommended managerial implications for salesforce
TeX v jednoduchém unixovém prostředí
No full textsummary:Při ladění TeXového dokumentu potřebujeme mnohokrát opakovaně pouštět TeX, podívat se, jak dopadl výsledek v prohlížeči DVI nebo PDF souboru, mrknout na výpis TeXu na terminálu, podívat se případně do logu a celou činnost opakovat. V tomto článku je ukázáno, jak tuto práci dělá autor článku. Proces "editor-TeX-kuk" je zde podporován jednoduchými unixovými nástroji: bashovým skriptem texloop, který si autor pro tyto účely vytvořil, dále terminálem Xterm a jednoduchým editorem, který umí navázat na klávesovou zkratku spuštění příkazu v systému. Čtenář se zde může inspirovat a přizpůsobit tyto nástroje svým vlastním potřebám. V článku je popsána funkce skriptu texloop, dále je neformálně rozveden dlouholetý vývoj autorova vztahu k textovým editorům a konečně je zde uvedena konfigurace terminálu Xterm, aby vyhovoval českému prostředí jak v kódování ISO-8859-2, tak v kódování UTF-8. Pro kódování UTF-8 si v závěru článku vygenerujeme TeXový formát csplain.summary:By debugging a TeX document it is necessary many times repeatedly to run TeX, to look for the result in DVI or PDF file, to gander the TeX output on the terminal, or eventually to have a look in the log-file, and all that action to repeat. In the paper it is show, how this work is made by author. The process '‘'editor-TeX-look' is supported by simple Unix tools: bash script texloop, created by author for these purposes, Xterm terminal and a simple editor, which is able to link to the shortcut key the activation of a system command. The reader could be inspired with the solution and to adapt these tools to his/her own needs. In the paper the function of the texloop script is described, and further the longstanding evolution of the author's relation to text editors is informal elaborated and finally a configuration of Xterm terminal, suitable for the czech environment with both ISO-8859-2 and UTF-8 encoding is introduced. For UTF-8 encoding the TeX format csplain is generated at the end of the paper
