No full textDetermination of the efficacy of the olive oil enriched with ozone in the cicatrization of surgical injuries of canine patients, in the San Miguel de Bolivar Canton, whose objectives were: Evaluating the effect of oil of ozone in the surgical injuries (Ovariohysterectomy and Orchiectomy). Decreasing time of cicatrization of an injury. Decreasing the posttraumating effect of a surgery in a patient canine. It was worked with 20 male dogs and 20 were female dogs, being these phenotypically of race French Poodle, Shih Tzu, Schnauzer and Mestizos with ages from less to a year to five years. The methodology used was the we appreciated the state of health taking the physiological constants, in order to determine if the patient the surgery is apt to be accomplished. At the end of the surgery, we clean the injury with pysiological saline solution, with the help of a sterile syringe we apply the Ozonized olive oil and we cover with a sterile gauze. This procedure was repeating every twelve hourse to evaluate the degree of cicatrization in which it was located. The analgesia on the basis of the scale of Glasgow modified tried on every twelve hours, determining that all the patients were in a inferior status to 5 which indicates that they don´t present pain. The size of the injuries in 65% of patients was from 2 to 3cm. The injuries took an average time of 4-days cicatrization, which indicates that the Ozonized Olive Oil Managed To decrease time of cicatrization of injuries and collateral effects that takes place in it; also, diminished the posttraumatic effect in surgeries and the degree of inflammation.Determinación de la eficacia del aceite de oliva enriquecido con ozono en la cicatrización de heridas quirúrgicas de pacientes caninos, en el cantón San Miguel de Bolívar, cuyos objetivos fueron: Evaluar el efecto de aceite de ozono en las heridas quirúrgicas (Ovariohisterectomía y Orquiectomía). Disminuir el tiempo de cicatrización de una herida. Disminuir el efecto postraumático de una cirugía en un paciente canino. Se trabajó con 20 canes machos y 20 canes hembras, siendo estos fenotípicamente de raza French Poodle, Shih Tzu, Schnauzer y Mestizos con edades desde menos a un año hasta cinco años. La metodología utilizada fue la valoración del estado de salud tomando las constantes fisiológicas, para determinar si el paciente está apto para ser realizado la cirugía. Al terminar la cirugía, limpiamos la herida con suero fisiológico, con la ayuda de una jeringuilla estéril aplicamos el Aceite de Oliva Ozonizado y cubrimos con una gasa estéril. Este procedimiento se realizó cada doce horas hasta evaluar el grado de cicatrización en el que se encontraba la herida. Se midió la analgesia en base a la escala de Glasgow modificado cada doce horas, determinando que todos los pacientes estuvieron en un rango inferior a 5 lo que indica que no presentan dolor. El tamaño de las heridas en el 65% de pacientes fue de 2 a 3cm. Las heridas tomaron un tiempo promedio de cicatrización de 4 días, lo que indica que el Aceite de Oliva Ozonizado logró disminuir el tiempo de cicatrización de heridas y efectos colaterales que se produce en ella; además, se disminuyó el efecto postraumático en las cirugías y el grado de inflamación
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
Evaluación de la eficacia del agua enriquecida con ozono en la cicatrización de heridas quirúrgicas en perros
Get PDFIntroduction: Postoperative wound healing in dogs, crucial for recovery and complication prevention, has prompted exploration of innovative therapies like ozone. While human studies support its positive effects, applying ozone in dogs demands a deeper analysis due to physiological differences. This study in Guaranda assesses ozone-enriched water's impact on surgical wounds in dogs, aiming to enhance postoperative protocols and strengthen veterinary practice with scientific evidence in an underexplored area for the benefit of animal health. Objective: Evaluate the efficacy of ozone-enriched water in the healing of surgical wounds in male and female dogs in the Canton of Guaranda, Bolivar Province, at the Veterinary Clinic "de Pelos J.E" and Pet Shop. Methodology: This study employed a descriptive experimental design conducted at the Veterinary Clinic "de Pelos J.E" and Pet Shop in Guaranda during August and September 2023. Forty canine patients were randomly assigned to two groups: one treated with ozonated water and another control group without treatment. The population included 15 females and 15 males undergoing ovariohysterectomy and orchiectomy, excluding pre-existing medical conditions or a history of adverse reactions to ozone. Surgical procedures followed veterinary standards, with anesthetic protocol and pain evaluation using the Glasgow Pain Scale. Tissue samples were collected on the third and seventh days for histopathological analysis. Results: The results indicate that the group treated with ozonated water shows a significant presence of fibrous connective tissue (FCT), with 33.3% (10/30) exhibiting an abundant amount and 66.7% (20/10) with a moderate presence. In the control group, we observed a moderate presence of FCT in the majority (90%, 9/10). Statistical data reveal a marked difference (P < 0.05) on the seventh day, where the treated group exhibits 76.7% (23/30) with moderate neovascularization and 13.3% (4/30) with an abundant presence. In comparison, the control group shows 60% (6/10) with mild neovascularization and 40% (4/10) with moderate neovascularization. Regarding inflammation, 26.7% (8/30) of the treated group shows absence, and 73.3% (22/30) shows mild inflammation. In contrast, all patients in the control group exhibit mild inflammation. As for healing, 70% (21/30) of the treated group shows comprehensive healing at 6 days, 30% (9/30) at 5 days, while the control group achieves adequate healing by the 8th day in 100% of cases. Conclusion: The use of ozone-enriched water significantly accelerated the healing process, enhancing the organization of collagen and other tissue components compared to the control group. Additionally, there was an effective reduction in inflammation in surgical wounds, indicating a decrease in the inflammatory response in the surrounding tissue. These results suggest a positive and potentially beneficial impact of ozonized water on the speed of recovery.Introducción: La cicatrización posoperatoria en caninos, esencial para la recuperación y prevención de complicaciones, ha llevado a explorar terapias innovadoras, como el ozono. Aunque estudios humanos respaldan sus efectos positivos, su aplicación en perros requiere un análisis más profundo debido a diferencias fisiológicas. Este estudio en Guaranda evalúa el agua enriquecida con ozono en heridas quirúrgicas de perros, buscando mejorar los protocolos postoperatorios y fortalecer la práctica veterinaria con evidencia científica en un área poco investigada para beneficiar la salud animal. Objetivo: Evaluar la eficacia del agua enriquecida con ozono en la cicatrización de heridas quirúrgicas en perros machos y hembras, en el Cantón Guaranda, Provincia de Bolívar, en la Clínica Veterinaria de Pelos J.E y Pet Shop. Metodología: Este estudio emplea un diseño experimental descriptivo realizado en la Clínica Veterinaria "de Pelos J.E" y Pet Shop en Guaranda durante agosto y septiembre de 2023. Se asignaron aleatoriamente 40 pacientes caninos a dos grupos: uno tratado con agua ozonificada y otro control sin tratamiento. La población incluyó 15 hembras y 15 machos, sometidos a ovariohisterectomía y orquiectomía, excluyendo condiciones médicas preexistentes o historial de reacciones adversas al ozono. Los procedimientos quirúrgicos siguieron estándares veterinarios, con protocolo anestésico y evaluación del dolor mediante la escala de dolor de Glasgow. Se recopilaron muestras de tejido en el tercer y séptimo día para análisis histopatológicos. Resultados: Los resultados indican que el grupo tratado con agua ozonificada muestra una presencia significativa de tejido conectivo fibroso (TCF), con un 33.3% (10/30) mostrando una cantidad abundante y un 66.7% (20/10) con una presencia moderada. En el grupo control, observamos una moderada presencia de TCF en la mayoría (90%, 9/10). Los datos estadísticos revelan una diferencia marcada (P < 0.05) en el séptimo día, donde el grupo tratado exhibe un 76.7% (23/30) con neovascularización moderada y un 13.3% (4/30) con una presencia abundante. En comparación, el grupo control muestra un 60% (6/10) con una leve neovascularización y un 40% (4/10) con neovascularización moderada. Respecto a la inflamación, el 26.7% (8/30) del grupo tratado presenta ausencia y el 73.3% (22/30) muestra inflamación leve. En contraste, todos los pacientes del grupo control muestran leve inflamación. En cuanto a la cicatrización, el 70% (21/30) del grupo tratado muestra cicatrización integral a los 6 días, el 30% (9/30) a los 5 días, mientras que el grupo control alcanza cicatrización adecuada al 8vo día en el 100% de los casos. Conclusión: La aplicación de agua enriquecida con ozono aceleró significativamente el proceso de cicatrización, mejorando la organización del colágeno y otros componentes del tejido en comparación con el grupo de control. Además, se observó una efectiva reducción de la inflamación en las heridas quirúrgicas, indicando una disminución en la reacción inflamatoria del tejido circundante. Estos resultados sugieren un impacto positivo y potencialmente beneficioso del agua ozonizada en la velocidad de recuperación
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
