Desenho e validação de conteúdo do instrumento Trasciende para cuidadores familiares
Full text linkHighlights
Family caregiver transcendence is the ability to modify attitudes, perceptions, and concepts about oneself, the care recipient, and the environment, promoting meaningful personal and relational growth.
Transcendence allows finding a purpose in the act of caring, enabling connection with the inner self, the care recipient, and a supreme being.
Measuring the caregiver’s relationship with themselves, the care recipient, and a higher power, allows for the appreciation of transcendence as a growth process.
The ‘Transcend’ measurement instrument is a valuable tool for integrating self-related aspects into nursing assessment and care planning and is useful for future research in the area.
Introduction: Transcendence is a metaphysical phenomenon of the self that is reflected in caregivers by transforming their attitudes, perceptions, and caregiving meanings about the care recipient and themselves. Objective: To develop and validate the content of the "Transcend" instrument through expert judgment and to determine its preliminary reliability. Materials and Methods: This methodological study focused on the design and content validation, via expert judgment, of an instrument to measure family caregiver transcendence called "Transcend," following the methodology proposed by Waltz. The judges assessed instrument\u27s clarity, coherence, and relevance. After validation, the instrument was administered to 30 caregivers to assess its clarity in the population and its preliminary reliability. Results: Fifteen judges participated in the validation process, and a significant level of agreement was found (p < 0.001) in assessing clarity, coherence, and relevance. The content validity index, both individual and global, was 1.00. All items obtained an Aiken\u27s V value ≥ 0.69, with values falling within the confidence intervals. Preliminary reliability in the pilot testing yielded a Cronbach\u27s alpha of 0.90. Discussion: Validity and concordance indices should be interpreted together to determine the level of content validity based on expert judgment. Conclusions: The Transcend instrument shows adequate content validity and high preliminary reliability, supporting its progression to a second phase of validation, which will be crucial to determining its potential as a tool for assessing transcendence in family caregivers.

La trascendencia del cuidador familiar es la capacidad de modificar actitudes, percepciones y conceptos de sí mismos, del sujeto del cuidado y del entorno, promoviendo un crecimiento personal y relacional significativo.
La trascendencia permite encontrar un propósito en el acto de cuidar, conectando con su ser interior, con el sujeto de cuidado y con un ser supremo.
Medir la relación que tiene el cuidador consigo mismo, con el sujeto de cuidado y con un poder supremo, permite valorar la trascendencia como una un proceso de crecimiento.
El instrumento de medición \u27Trasciende\u27 es una herramienta valiosa para integrar aspectos del ser en la valoración de enfermería y planes de cuidado, y útil para futuras investigaciones en el área.
Introducción: La trascendencia es un fenómeno metafísico del ser que se refleja en los cuidadores al transformar sus actitudes, percepciones y significados del cuidado, del sujeto cuidado y de sí mismos. Objetivo: Diseñar y validar, mediante juicio de expertos, el contenido del instrumento "Trasciende" y conocer su confiabilidad preliminar. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio metodológico centrado en el diseño y la validación de contenido, mediante juicio de expertos, de un instrumento de medición de la trascendencia del cuidador familiar llamado “Trasciende”, siguiendo la metodología propuesta por Waltz. Los jueces evaluaron la claridad, coherencia y relevancia del instrumento. Tras la validación, se aplicó a 30 cuidadores para evaluar la claridad en la población y su fiabilidad preliminar. Resultados: Quince jueces participaron en la validación, encontrándose una concordancia significativa (p < 0.001) en la evaluación de claridad, coherencia y relevancia. El índice de validez de contenido, tanto individual como global, fue de 1. Todos los ítems obtuvieron un valor de V de Aiken ≥ 0.69, y dentro del intervalo de confianza. La confiabilidad preliminar en la prueba piloto arrojó un alfa de Cronbach de 0.90. Discusión: Los índices de validez y concordancia deben interpretarse juntos para determinar el nivel de validez de contenido basado en el juicio de expertos. Conclusiones: El instrumento Trasciende evidencia una adecuada validez de contenido y alta confiabilidad preliminar, permitiendo avanzar en una segunda fase, la cual será crucial para determinar el potencial como herramienta para valorar la trascendencia en cuidadores familiares.

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

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.
