    This study aims to identify differences in the average feeding practices of stunted clowns in the intervention and control groups. Quantitative Research Method with a quasi-experiment post-test only control group design. The analysis in this study used the Independent T-Test. The study results showed that the average feeding practice for stunted clowns in the intervention group was higher at 112.32 compared to the intermediate feeding practice for stunted clowns in the control group of 77.71. The analysis using the independent T-test showed a significant difference between the average feeding practices of stunted clowns in the intervention group and the control group, with a p-value of 0.0001. The conclusion is that implementing nutritional interventions can improve the practice of feeding stunted toddler children.   Keywords: Nutritional Intervention, Feeding, Stuntin

    IMPROVEMENT OF FEEDING PRACTICES FOR STUNTING CHILDREN UNDER TWO YEARS THROUGH AN COMPLEMENTARY FEEDING EDUCATION

    Full text link
    Background: Feeding practice is one of the factors determining the stunting prevalence. It happens because the children’s food intake strongly depends on the feeding practice done by their parents. The role of parents would determine children's nutritional intake, in which inappropriate nutritional intake lead to stunting. Objectives: The aim of the study was to identify differences in the feeding practices of mothers to stunting children under two years before and after being given a complementary feeding intervention Methods: This is a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental one group design. The samples in this study were 31 respondents selected using the consecutive sampling technique. The inclusion criteria were mothers who have children aged 6-24 months with stunting (z score PB/U is less than -2SD). Exclusion criteria were that the mother or child was sick and did not receive complete intervention. Instrument used was a standard Comprehensive Feeding Practice Questionnaire (CFPQ) instrument. The intervention provided was in the form of education using audiovisual media and a demonstration of the practice of making complementary feeding. The analysis in this research is paired T test. Results: The average score on feeding practice for stunting Children Under Two Years after the nutrition intervention is higher, namely 112.32 compared to the average score on feeding practice for stunting Children Under Two Years before the nutrition intervention, namely 87.06. The results of the analysis found that there is a significant difference between the average score on feeding practice for stunting Children Under Two Years before and after the complementary feeding with p-value of 0.0001. Conclusion: The complementary feeding intervention can encourage the feeding practice of stunted under-two-year-old children. &nbsp

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    We 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
