Determinants of Sexual Health and Sexual Quality of Life after Cardiovascular Surgeries: An Integrative Review
Get PDFBackground and aim: Sexual health and sexual quality of life are key components of psychosocial adjustment after cardiac surgeries and are often linked with improving the general quality of life. Reviews have been conducted to highlight the associations between cardiovascular diseases and sexual dysfunctions, but no review reported determinants of sexual health and sexual quality of life in patients after cardiovascular surgeries. We aimed to comprehensively examine the determinants of sexual health and sexual quality of life among individuals with cardiovascular surgeries. Methods: Literature was searched within PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, and OVID databases. In total, 816 records were identified from database searches, 279 records were screened, and 11 empirical studies were included for review. Relevant data were extracted using literature summary tables and synthesised using an inductive approach. Results: The core determinants of sexual health and sexual quality of life were type of surgery and comorbidities, fears and uncertainties regarding sexual activity, sexual health education and counselling, spousal relationship and communication, and demographic factors such as advanced age and literacy levels. Major surgeries performed were coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and heart valve surgeries. The data collection tools used to collect data for sexual health and sexual quality of life were the International Erectile Function Questionnaire (IEFQ), International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), Sexual Knowledge CABG Scale (SKS-CABG), Sexual Quality of Life Questionnaire (SQOL), SKS-Myocardial Infarction Scale (SKS-MI), and Couple Communication Scale (CCS). Conclusions: Despite their importance, sexual health and quality of life are frequently overlooked during patient rehabilitation after cardiovascular surgeries. The lack of adequate education and counselling from healthcare professionals frequently leads to increased fear and uncertainties among individuals and their partners. Therefore, more person-centred educational and counselling approaches should be developed to address the sexual concerns of individuals and their partners
Peran Lembaga Keuangan Syari’ah Dalam Meningkatkan Kesejahteraan Petani Di Kecamatan Talaga Kabupaten Majalengka
Get PDFAbdul Aziz Faisal,(1413233062), 2019, Peran Lembaga Keuangan Syari’ah Dalam Meningkatkan Kesejahteraan Petani Di Kecamatan Talaga Kabupaten Majalengka.
Lembaga keuangan berperan sebagai lembaga intermediasi keuangan. Intermediasi keuangan merupakan proses penyerapan dana dari unit surplus ekonomi, baik sector usaha lembaga pemerintah maupun individu (rumah tangga) untuk penyediaan dana bagi unit ekonomi lain. Pada BMT Talaga agar bisa lebih memperhatikan para petani disekitar lembaga keuangan tersebut berada. Sehingga mengaharapkan adanya timbal balik antar pihak-pihak yang terkait para petani dan peranan dari lembaga keuangan syariah supaya lebih memperhatikan para petani akan berbagai aspek yang dibutuhkan dan di perlukan, baik dari segi pendanaan, pembinaan pengembangan produk dan membantu dalam mendorong daya jual akan hasil dari pertanian.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana lembaga keuangan syariah dalam memberikan motivasi permodalan petani, untuk mengetahui proses yang dilakukan petani dalam menerapkan modal usahanya, untuk mengetahui peran lembaga keuangan syariah dan proses penerapan modal dalam meningkatkan kesejahteraan petani.
Metode yang digunakan adalah metode dengan pendekatan kualitatif. dengan jenis metode penelitian lapangan (field research) yaitu melakukan sebuah penelitian di lapangan.
Hasil penelitian yang diperoleh ada beberapa hal yang dapat menarik minat petani dalam mengajukan permodalan kepada BMT Talaga, diantaranya,: kemudahan dalam pencairan dana, keringanan dalam pelunasan hutang, Yarnen (yaitu bayar setelah panen). Para petani setelah memperoleh pendanaan dari BMT Talaga kemudian dialokasikan untuk beberapa keperluan, diantaranya: Untuk pengadaan bibit, membayar upah buruh, untuk pengadaan obat pestisida dan pupuk, untuk menambah kekurangan dana, untuk biaya perawatan selama masa tanam, untuk pembebasan lahan, untuk membeli lahan baru, menambah modal usaha lainnya. Keberhasilan para petani dalam mengelola dana pinjaman yang di peroleh dari BMT Talaga ada hubungannya dengan bagaimana lembaga tersebut melakukan bimbingan secara langsung dan tidak langsung. Semua itu dapat diperoleh tak lepas dari jalinan hubungan antara BMT Talaga dengan para anggota petani, hubungan yang bukan sekedar pemilik modal dengan orang yang membutuhkan modal akan tetapi hubungan ini terasa seperti suatu keluarga besar BMT Talaga.

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
