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
Patient safety during inpatient intravenous drug care
No full textBakalaura darba tēma “Pacientu drošība stacionārā intravenozās medikamentozās aprūpes laikā” . Tēmas aktualitāti nosaka tas, ka perifērā venozā katetra ievietošana ir viena no stacionārā visbiežāk lietotajām procedūrām asinsvadu pieejas nodrošināšanā, kā arī pamatojoties uz to, ka māsām jāievēro perifēro venozo katetru aprūpe, novēršot iespējamu infekcijas risku. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, vai pacientam atrodoties stacionārā, tiek pielietota droša intravenozā medikamentozā aprūpē māsu praksē. Lai pētījuma mērķi sasniegtu, tika analizēta literatūra, izveidota aptauja māsām, izveidoti vairāki uzdevumi, veikts pētījums par izvēlēto tēmu, apkopoti rezultāti, veikti secinājumi un ieteikumi. Darbs sastāv no 4 nodaļām, 10 apakšnodaļām, 7 secinājumiem, 3 ieteikumiem un 3 pielikumiem. Izmantoti 19 literatūras avoti. Bakalaura darbā izmantota kvantitatīvā pētijumu metode, ar pētījuma instrumentu – autores veidotu aptaujas anketu, kura sastāv no 15 jautājumiem. Iegūtie rezultāti atspoguļoti apļa diagrammās un norādīti procentos un skaitliski. Darbs sastāv no 52 lappuses. Apkopojot rezultātus un balstoties uz mērķi var secināt, ka lielākajai daļai respondentu darba stāžs ir 1-5 gadi, kas nozīmē, ka tieši māsas ar mazāku darba stāžu visprecīzāk ievēro pacientu drošību stacionārā intravenozās medikamentozās aprūpes laikā, taču arī respondenti ar lielāku darba stāžu ievēro pacienta drošību. Gandrīz visi respondenti veic pilnvērtīgu pacienta izglītošanu, lai veicinātu pacienta līdzestību ārstniecības procesos un pēc iespējas ātrāk novērstu ar perifērā venozā katetra ievadi saistītās komplikācijas. Visi respondenti veica novērošanas darbības pēc intravenozo zāļu ievadīšanas un novērtē pacienta veselības stāvokli. Apkopojot rezultātus var secināt, ka māsas ievēro pacienta drošību stacionārā intravenozās medikamentozās aprūpes laikā.Bachelor's thesis topic "Patient safety during inpatient intravenous drug care". The topicality of the topic is determined by the fact that the insertion of a peripheral venous catheter is one of the most frequently used in-patient procedures for vascular access, and also based on the fact that nurses must follow the care of peripheral venous catheters, preventing a possible risk of infection. The aim of the work is to find out whether safe intravenous drug care is used in nursing practice while the patient is in the hospital. In order to achieve the goal of the research, the literature was analyzed, a survey was created for nurses, several tasks were created, research was conducted on the chosen topic, results were summarized, conclusions and recommendations were made. The work consists of 4 chapters, 10 subsections, 7 conclusions, 3 recommendations and 3 appendices. 14 819 literature sources were used. The bachelor's thesis uses the quantitative research method, with the research tool - a questionnaire created by the author, which consists of 15 questions. The obtained results are reflected in pie charts and indicated in percentages and numerically. The work consists of 52 pages. Summarizing the results and based on the goal, it can be concluded that the majority of respondents have 1-5 years of work experience, which means that it is nurses with less work experience who most accurately observe patient safety during inpatient intravenous medication care, but respondents with more work experience also observe the patient's safety. Almost all respondents carry out comprehensive patient education in order to promote the patient's participation in treatment processes and to prevent complications related to the introduction of a peripheral venous catheter as soon as possible. All respondents performed follow-up activities after the administration of intravenous drugs and assess the patient's health status. Summarizing the results, it can be concluded that nurses observe patient safety during inpatient intravenous drug care

No full textBakalaura darba tēma – “Pirmsskolas un sākumskolas bērnu roku higiēnas paradumu veidošana ģimenē”. Roku mazgāšana ir fundamentāls pamats infekciju izplatīšanās kontrolei, tādēļ izvēlēties savam bērnam piemērotāko roku higiēnas apmācību, katram vecākam ir atbildīgs un svarīgs solis (1). Bērns pirmsskolas vai sākumskolas vecumā patstāvīgi nevar pieņemt tālredzīgus lēmumus par savu veselību, aprūpi un izglītību, tādēļ par šiem vecuma bērniem atbildību nes vecāki. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot pirmsskolas un sākumskolas bērnu roku higiēnas paradumu veidošanu ģimenē, līdz ar to darba autore izvirzīja pētījuma uzdevumus: 1) apkopot un analizēt literatūru, rekomendācijas, kas nosaka roku higiēnas pratību ģimenē bērniem pirmsskolas un sākumskolas periodā; 2) analizēt V. Hendersones māszinību teoriju; 3) izstrādāt pētījuma instrumentu – aptaujas anketu; 4) veikt izglītojamo vecāku anketēšanu; 5) apkopot pētījumā iegūtos rezultātus par pirmsskolas un sākumskolas bērnu roku higiēnas paradumu ievērošanas un to veidošanas nozīmīgumu ģimenē ; 6) izdarīt secinājumus, izstrādāt priekšlikumus un izglītojošas nodarbības plānu bērnu vecākiem par roku higiēnas ievērošanu ģimenē. Pētījuma rezultātā izvirzītā hipotēze - pirmsskolas un sākumskolas bērnu vecākiem ir svarīga roku higiēnas paradumu ievērošana un to veidošana ģimenē. Pētniecības darba ietvaros tika veikta Pierīgas X pirmsskolas un sākumskolas bērnu vecāku aptauja un izmantota kvantitatīvā pētījuma metode. Pētījuma hipotēzes apstiprinājums: roku higiēnas paradumu ievērošanas un to veidošanas nozīmīgums ģimenē ir ļoti svarīgs un diezgan svarīgs 98 % aptaujāto ģimeņu, tikai 1% respondentu tas nav svarīgi. Vecāki vienmēr pievērš uzmanību tam cik rūpīgi mazgā rokas un ar savu piemēru māca bērniem roku mazgāšanas pratību un paradumu nostiprināšanu.

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
