    هدفت الدراسة إلى معرفة مرض السكري (النوع الأول) وأثره على تقدير الذات والتحصيل الدراسي.  وللوصول إلى هذا الهدف استخدمنا المنهج العيادي، وذلك على عينة قوامها ثلاث حالات ممن يعانون من مرض السكري (النوع الأول) الخاضع للأنسولين. ولجمع البيانات قمنا باستخدام (دراسة الحالة، المقابلة العيادية والملاحظة العلمية)، بالإضافة إلى مقياس تقدير الذات لـ (كوبر سميث)، والاعتماد على النتائج المدرسية الخاصة بالفصل الدراسي الثاني للعام 2017/2018. وأسفرت نتائج الدراسة إلى أن الحالات (عينة بحثنا) المصابة بمرض السكري (النوع الأول) يؤثر سلبا على نموهم النفسي، الانفعالي، السلوكي والمعرفي، كما يؤثر على بنية تقدير الذات لديهم، مما ينعكس بالسلب على مسارهم الدراسي وتحصيلهم الأدائي والمعرفي داخل القسم وخارجه.The study aimed at knowing diabetes (type I) and its impact on self-esteem and academic achievement.To reach this goal a clinical approach was adopted, on a sample of three cases suffering from diabetes (type I) and subjected to insulin.To collect the data a (case study, clinical interview and scientific observation) were used ; in addition to Cooper Smith's self-assessment Test, and school results for the second semester of the academic year 2017/2018.The results of the study indicated that the cases with diabetes (type I) negatively affect the psychological development, emotional, behavioral and cognitive growth; as well as, it affects the structure of self-esteem they have, which reflected negatively on their academic and their performance and cognitive achievement within and outside the classroom

    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

    Effect of post-amputation stress disorder on psychological adjustment in patients with type 1 diabetes (A field study of two cases at the public hospital institution “Hamadou Hussein” - Sidi Ali-Mostaganem) – Algeria

    Aim of this research is to identify  effect of post-amputation stress disorder on  psychological adjustment of a patient with type 1 diabetes, and to identify  effect of physical health and gender (male-female) on  psychological adjustment of a diabetic patient with post-amputation trauma disorder. Research sample consisted of two cases, a male and a female, and we collected data on  research variables using: Davidson's Post-Traumatic Stress Scale, translated by "Abdulaziz Thabet" - Psychological adjustment scale by Dr. Zainab Choucair 2003, These two scales were chosen because they are applicable in Arab environment, whose characteristics are consistent with that  of Algerian society. They are codified and subject to validity and consistency. Results led to : Amputees with type 1 diabetes suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. Post-traumatic stress disorder affects  psychological adjustment of patients with type 1 diabetes. Physical health affects  psychological adjustment of a type 1 diabetic patient with post-traumatic stress disorder

    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

    Get PDF
    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

    Get PDF
    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

    No full text
    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
