Is There a Change in Occupational Balance and Quality of Life of University Staff With or Without COVID-19?
Full text linkAmaç: COVID-19 pandemisi sürecinde birçok meslek grubunun okupasyonel denge ve yaşam kalitesi etkilenmiş, üniversite çalışanları pandemi nedeniyle
değişen yaşam koşulları ile karşı karşıya kalmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı, bu yeni durumların COVID-19 olan ve olmayan üniversite personelinde okupasyonel
denge ve yaşam kalitesinde değişikliklere neden olup olmadığını araştırmaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Üniversite personelinde okupasyonel dengeyi değerlendirmek için Türkiye Okupasyonel Denge Anketi 11 (OBQ11-T), yaşam kalitesini
değerlendirmek için Çalışanlar için Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği (ÇYKÖ) kullanıldı. COVID-19 olan katılımcılar çalışma grubu olarak kabul edildi ve COVID-19 olmayan
katılımcılar kontrol grubuna dahil edildi. Verilerin istatistiksel analizinde bağımsız t-testi ve Kruskal-Wallis testleri kullanıldı.
Sonuçlar ve Tartışma: COVID-19 olan üniversite personelinin ÇYKÖ puanlarının merhamet memnuniyeti alt ölçeği kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı olarak düşük
bulundu (p=0,038). COVID-19 pozitif olan akademik personelin tükenmişlik düzeyi, idari personele göre anlamlı olarak yüksekti (p=0,028). OBQ11-T puanları
COVID-19’lu erkeklerde COVID-19’lu kadınlara göre anlamlı olarak düşük bulundu (p=0,043). COVID-19 geçiren üniversite personelinde okupasyonel denge ve
yaşam kalitesi puanları etkilendi.Purpose: During the COVID-19 pandemic, occupational balance, and quality of life (QoL) were affected by many professions, and university staff were faced
with changing living conditions experienced due to the pandemic. This study aims to investigate whether these new situations cause changes in occupational balance and QoL in university personnel with and without COVID-19.
Material and Methods: The Turkish Occupational Balance Questionnaire 11 (OBQ11-T) was used to evaluate occupational balance in university staff, and the
Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQoL) was used to evaluate the QoL. Participants who had COVID-19 were accepted as the study group and participants
who hadn’t COVID-19 were included in the control group. Independent t-test and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used in the statistical analysis of the data.
Results and Conclusions: The compassion satisfaction subscale of ProQoL scores of university staff who had COVID-19 were found to be significantly lower
than those of the control group (p=0.038). The burnout level of the COVID-19-positive academic staff was significantly higher than the administrative staff
(p=0.028). OBQ11-T scores were found to be significantly lower in males with COVID-19 compared to females with COVID-19 (p=0.043). Occupational balance
and QoL scores were affected in university staff who had COVID-19
The effects of minocycline on the neuroregeneration in in vitro axotomy model
No full textMinosiklin yüksek lipofilik özelliğe sahip, kan beyin bariyerini geçebilen küçük semisentetik tetrasiklinler grubundan bir moleküldür. Antibiyotik özelliğinin yanısıra kan beyin bariyerini geçebilme özelliğinin yardımıyla iskemik beyin modellerinde nöroprotektif etkisi oluğu bulunmuştur. Birçok nörodejeneratif hastalıkta çeşitli etkilere sebep olduğu gösterilen minosiklinin nörorejenerasyona etkileri literatürde daha az yer bulmuştur. Bu merakla, in vitro kortikal kültür modelinde 1µM, 10µM ve 100µM minosiklinin lazer aksotomi ile oluşturulan aksonal hasara olan etkilerindenrejenerasyonun ön koşulu olan canlılık oranına propidyum iyodür boyama (PI) ile bakılmıştır. Düşük doz minosiklinin canlılık oranlarını hasardan sonra koruduğu görülürken, yüksek doz minosiklinin kortikal nöron kültürü için nörotoksik olduğu gösterilmiştir.Minocycline is a molecule with a high lipophilic character and a small semisynthetic group of tetracyclines that cross the blood brain barrier. In addition to its antibiotic properties, it has been found to be neuroprotective in ischemic brain models with the help of the ability to cross the blood brain barrier. The literature on the effect of minocycline, which has been shown to cause various effects on many neurodegenerative diseases, on neuroregeneration finds less room in the literature. In this curiosity, the effects of 1?M, 10?M and 100?M minocycline on axonal damage generated by laser axotomy in the in vitro cortical culture model were examined. The vitality rate, which is the prerequisite for regeneration, was investigated by propidium iodide staining. Low-dose minocycline appears to preserve vitality, while high-dose minocycline is neurotoxic for cortical neuron culture
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
