Get PDFOrientador: Prof. Dr. Kleber Fernando PereiraTrabalho de conclusão de curso (graduação) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Campus Toledo, Curso de Graduação em MedicinaInclui referênciasResumo : Os traumas abdominais representam notável importância dentre as causas predominantes de morbi-mortalidade no mundo. Em se tratando de óbitos relacionados a essas lesões, estão na categoria de causas externas, as quais no Brasil representam a segunda causa geral de mortalidade, principalmente na população em idade ativa. Notadamente, traumas estão fortemente relacionados a acidentes automobilísticos, cujas taxas vêm crescendo nos últimos anos. Neles, ocorrem os politraumas, cuja região abdominal é inclusa de forma prevalente. Objetivo: a presente pesquisa tem como objetivo apresentar o perfil de óbitos os quais sejam associados a trauma abdominal e submetido ao Instituto Médico-Legal, entre os anos de 2019 até 2021. Metodologia: estudo retrospectivo, do tipo transversal, de caráter fundamentalmente quantitativo, no qual foram avaliados os laudos de óbitos decorrentes de trauma abdominal necropsiados no IML de Toledo (PR), no período de 2019 a 2021. Foram avaliadas as variáveis sexo, idade, tipo de lesão, circunstância dos óbitos e órgão mais acometido. Resultados e discussão: dos 916 óbitos trazidos à Polícia Científica de Toledo (PR) advindos de causas externas, os inclusos dentre os traumas abdominais representaram um percentual de 51,05% (n=462), no período de 2019 a 2021. Observou-se maior prevalência de óbitos por acidentes automobilísticos (6%), cuja causa principal foi o politrauma (37,45%). O sexo masculino fora o mais prevalente, com 84,85% (n=392), cuja faixa etária teve concentração entre os 18 aos 29 anos. Os órgãos mais lesionados foram o fígado (69,31%) e o baço (33,66%) Considerações finais: nesta amostra houve predominância de óbitos por acidentes, principalmente associados ao trauma contuso, em homens na faixa entre 18 e 29 anos, cujo órgão mais lesado fora o fígado. O conhecimento acerca do perfil de óbitos é uma importante ferramenta epidemiológica frente a possíveis intervenções, além de servir como fonte estatística para outros trabalhos do âmbito médico-legaAbstract : Trauma represents a notable importance among the predominant causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. When it comes to deaths related to these injuries, they are in the category of external causes, since in Brazil they represent the second general cause of mortality, especially in the working-age population. Notably, traumas are strongly related to car accidents, whose rates have been increasing in recent years. In them, polytraumas occur, whose abdominal region is prevalently included. Objective: this research aims to present the profile of deaths which are associated with abdominal trauma and hospitalized at the Instituto Médico-Legal, between the years 2019 to 2021. Methodology: retrospective, cross-sectional study, fundamentally quantitative, in which the reports of deaths resulting from abdominal trauma necropsied at the IML of Toledo (PR), from 2019 to 2021, were evaluated. The variables were gender, age, type of injury, injuries of the deaths and most affected organ. Results and removal: Of the 916 deaths brought to the Scientific Police of Toledo (PR) from external causes, those included among abdominal traumas represented a percentage of 51.05% (n=462), in the period from 2019 to 2021. there was a higher prevalence of deaths from car accidents (6%), whose main cause was polytrauma (37.45%). Males were the most prevalent, with 84.85% (n=392), whose age group was concentrated between 18 and 29 years. The most injured organs were the liver (69.31%) and the spleen (33.66%). Final considerations: in this sample there was a predominance of deaths from accidents, mainly associated with blunt trauma, in men aged between 18 and 29 whose most injured organ outside the liver. Knowledge about the profile of deaths is an important epidemiological tool in the face of possible interventions, in addition to serving as a statistical source for other studies in the medical-legal fiel
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
