GAMBARAN KEJADIAN INFEKSI LUKA OPERASI (ILO) PASCA BEDAH ABDOMEN DI RSUD ABDUL WAHAB SJAHRANIE SAMARINDA
Full text linkInfeksi luka operasi (ILO) adalah infeksi pada bagian tubuh yang terpapar oleh ahli bedah saat prosedur invasive. ILO merupakan salah satu infeksi nosokomial yang paling umum dan paling dapat dicegah diantara infeksi nosokomial lainnya, namun kejadian infeksi luka operasi terutama pada bedah abdomen masih menunjukkan beban yang signifikan. Faktor resiko infeksi luka operasi meliputi usia tua, jenis luka operasi, penyakit penyerta seperti diabetes mellitus, pemberian antibiotik profilaksis yang tidak adekuat, status gizi pasien seperti obesitas dan malnutrisi serta durasi operasi yang panjang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran kejadian infeksi luka operasi pasca bedah abdomen di RSUD Abdul Wahab Sjahranie Samarinda. Metode penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif laboratorik. Data penelitian diambil dari swab luka operasi dan data rekam medik pada 40 pasien pasca bedah abdomen yang melakukan pergantian perban pertama kali serta memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 30 orang (75%) pasien mendapatkan infeksi luka operasi. Mayoritas pasien terinfeksi berusia diatas 40 tahun, yaitu pada 15 pasien (37,5%). Sebagian besar pasien terinfeksi mendapatkan luka bersih terkontaminasi, yaitu 23 pasien (57,5%). Mayoritas pasien terinfeksi yaitu 27 pasien (67,5%) tidak memiliki penyakit penyerta. Bakteri gram positif, yaitu Staphylococcus epidermidis merupakan bakteri penginfeksi terbanyak yang teridentifikasi pada 10 orang (33,3%) pasien. Seluruh pasien terinfeksi, yaitu 30 pasien (75%) mendapatkan antibiotik profilaksis. Mayoritas pasien terinfeksi memiliki status gizi normal, yaitu 17 orang (42,5%), dan kejadian infeksi lebih banyak terjadi pada pasien dengan durasi <120 menit, yaitu 20 orang (50%) pasien.

Surgical site infection (SSI) is an infection at the part of the body that was exposed by a surgeon during an invasive procedure. SSI is one of the most common and most preventable nosocomial infection among other nosocomial infections, but the incidence of surgical site infections especially in abdominal surgery still shows a significant burden. Risk factors of surgical site infections include old age, type of surgical wound, comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus, inadequate prophylactic antibiotics, nutritional statuses such as obesity and malnutrition and long duration of surgery. This study aimed to explain an overview of the incidence of postoperative abdominal wound infection in Abdul Wahab Sjahranie General Hospital, Samarinda. This research method was a laboratory descriptive study. The research data was taken from surgical wound swabs and medical record data of 40 post-abdominal surgery patients who made the bandage changes for the first time and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed 30 patients (75%) had surgical site infections. The highest percentage of infected patients aged over 40 years, i.e. in 15 people (37.5%). Most of the infected patients had clean contaminated wounds, i.e. in 23 patients (57.5%). The majority of infected patients did not have concomitant diseases, i.e. 27 people (67.5%). Gram-positive bacteria, specifically Staphylococcus epidermidis was the most infectious bacteria identified in 10 patients (33.3%). All infected patients, i.e. 30 patients (75%) received prophylactic antibiotics. The highest frequencies of infected patients had normal nutritional status, i.e.17 patients(42.5%), and the incidence of infection was more common in patients with duration <120 minutes, i.e. 20 patients (50%).

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.
