Evaluation of the relationship of kinesophobia with functional status, quality of life, pain and depression, modified rodnan skin scoring in patients with systemic sclerosis
No full textSistemik skleroz, yaygın vaskülerdisfonksiyon ve derinin ve iç organların ilerleyici fibrozu ile karakterize kronik multisistemik veotoimmün bir hastalıktır. Yaşam kalitesini bozan, hastalığa bağlı mortalite ve morbiditesi yüksek otoimmünromatizmal hastalıktırveetyolojisi tam olarak bilinmemektedir. Ağrılı veya tekrar eden yaralanma nedeniyle aşırı hassasiyet ve rahatsız edici duygudan kaynaklanan,fiziksel aktiviteye karşı gelişen korku 'Kinezyofobi' olarak tanımlanır. Bu çalışmada sistemik skleroz ile tanılıhastalarda kinezyofobinin fonksiyonel durum, yaşam kalitesi, ağrı ve depresyon, modifiyerodnan deri skorlaması ile İlişkisinin değerlendirilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Şubat 2022 – Eylül 2022 tarihleri arasında, Dicle Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Fiziksel Tıp ve Rehabilitasyon AnabilimdalıRomatoloji Polikliniğine başvuran; 18-65 yaş arasında, klinik değerlendirme ve radyolojik tetkikler sonucunda çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden;çalışmaya dahil edilme ve dışlama kriterlerine uygun sistemik skleroz tanısı almış 40 olgu hasta grubunda; çalışmaya dahil edilme ve dışlama kriterlerine uygun, 18-65 yaş arasında sağlıklı sistemik skleroz tanısı bulunmayan 60 olgu kontrol grubunda olmak üzere, toplam 100 olgu çalışmaya dahil edildi. Kinezyofobiyi değerlendirmek için hastalardave kontrol grubunda TAMPA ölçeği kullanıldı.Hasta grubunda anksiyeteyi değerlendirmek için BeckAnksiyete ölçeği(BDÖ); yaşam kalitesini değerlendirmek için Sağlık Değerlendirmeölçeği(HAQ); fonksiyonel durumu değerlendirmek için Skleroderma Sağlık Değerlendirme Anketi(SSc-HAQ); deri kalınlığını değerlendirmek için ModifiyeRodnan Deri Skoru kullanıldı. Hasta grubu ve kontrol grubu karşılaştırıldığında TAMPA ölçeği hastagrubunda anlamlı olarak saptandı. Korelasyon analizine göre hasta grubundaTAMPA ölçeği; yaş, hastalık süresi, VAS, solunum hastalığı, hastalık ciddiyeti ve BeckAnksiyete ölçeği(BDÖ) arasında anlamlı bir korelasyon göstermiş olup, yaşam kalitesi veModifiyeRodnan Deri Skoru ile anlamlı korelasyon göstermemiştir. Sistemik skleroz hastalarında kinezyofobi, artmış anksiyete, hastalığın süresi, ileri yaş, ağrı düzeyi ve solunum sıkıntısı olması ile ilişkili bulunmaktadır.Kinezyofobiden dolayı oluşan hareketkısıtlılığının devam etmesi ve iyileşmenin sürecinde uzama gibi nedenler ile oluşan yapısalbozukluklarla beraber psikolojik faktörlerin de göz ardı edilmemesi gerekmektedir. Bu sebepleSSk'lu hastalar tedavi amaçlı değerlendirildiğindemedikal ve fizik tedavi yanında psikolojik destek tedavilerinin de hastalarauygulanması yararlı olabilir.Systemic sclerosis is a chronic multisystemic and autoimmune disease characterized by widespread vascular dysfunction and progressive skin and internal organs fibrosis. It is an autoimmune rheumatic disease that impairs the quality of life and has the highest mortality and morbidity associated with the disease, and its etiology is not known exactly. Kinesiophobia is defined as the fear of physical activity resulting from excessive sensitivity and uncomfortable feelings due to painful or repeated injury. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship of kinesiophobia with functional status, quality of life, pain, depression, and modified Rodnan skin scoring in patients diagnosed with systemic sclerosis. A total of 100 patients were included in the study, including 40 patients who applied to Dicle University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Rheumatology Polyclinic between February 2022 and September 2022, were aged between 18-65 years and agreed to participate in the study as a result of clinical evaluation and radiological examinations were diagnosed with systemic sclerosis and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study, in addition to 60 healthy subjects aged between 18-65 years, who did not have a diagnosis of systemic sclerosis, and who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study in the control group. The Tampa scale was used to evaluate kinesiophobia in patients and the control group. Beck Anxiety Scale (BDI) was used to assess anxiety in the patient group, Health Assessment Scale (HAQ) was used to assess the quality of life, Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire (SSc-HAQ) was used to assess functional status, and Modified Rodnan Skin Score was used to assess skin thickness. The Tampa scale scores were found to be significantly higher in the patient group than in the control group. According to the correlation analysis, it was determined that there was a positive and significant correlation between the Tampa scale and age, duration of illness, VAS, respiratory disease, disease severity, and Beck Anxiety Scale (BDI) in the patient group, and a negative correlation was found with quality of life and Modified Rodnan Skin Score. Kinesiophobia is associated with increased anxiety, duration of illness, advanced age, pain, and respiratory distress in patients with systemic sclerosis. Structural disorders and psychological factors should be considered among the reasons for prolonging the limitation of movement and delayed recovery. For this reason, when patients with systemic sclerosis are evaluated for therapeutic purposes, it may be beneficial to apply psychological support treatments in addition to medical and physical therapy
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

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.
