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
Eating disorders in adolescents
Get PDFUvod: Poremećaji hranjenja su ozbiljni poremećaji u ponašanju koji su rezultat međusobnog djelovanja niza faktora. Obično se mogu kategorizirati kao anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa i neodređen poremećaj hranjenja. Ovaj rad predstavlja pregled literature zadnjih deset godina i bavi se utjecajem različitih terapijskih pristupa na krajnji ishod liječenja takvih pacijenata. -----
Metode: Koristili smo bazu podataka „PubMed“. Upisavši ključne riječi: psihodinamski ili psihoanalitički, bihevioralni ili kognitivni, bulimija, anoreksija i poremećaj hranjenja, dobili smo ukupno 55 radova. 42 rada smo izostavili poštujući kriterije isključivanja, tako da ovaj rad uključuje ukupno 13 članaka. ----- Rezultati: Prikaz radova izvršen je kroz tri skupine. U prvoj skupini radova prikazana je usporedba različitih terapijskih pristupa s obzirom na dijagnozu. Druga skupina radova opisuje utjecaj različitih osobina ličnosti na terapijski ishod. Treća skupina je orijentirana na osnovne karakteristike pojedinih terapijskih pristupa u liječenju poremećaja hranjenja. -----
Zaključak: Dva osnovna terapijska pristupa u liječenju poremećaja hranjenja su kognitivno bihevioralni i psihodinamski. Iako u većini prikazanih istraživanja nisu dobivene značajne razlike u ishodima, prvi je pristup daleko zastupljeniji u svakodnevnoj praksi. Iako uglavnom postiže brže rezultate, postotak poboljšanja je, dugoročno gledano, gotovo jednak za obje terapije.Background: Eating disorders are serious behavioral problems, incurred as a result of multifactorial interactions. Usually, they can be categorized as bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, and disorders that are not otherwise specified. This thesis presents a survey of literature dealing with various therapeutic approaches to the ultimate treatment outcome over the last ten years. -----
Methods: We used „PubMed“ database. By inputting the key words: psychodynamic or psychoanalytic, behavioral or cognitive, bulimia, anorexia and eating disorders, we obtained the total of 55 references. 42 papers were left out in line with the exclusion criteria, so this survey includes 13 studies altogether. -----
Results: The results are presented in three groups of articles. The first group of papers shows a comparison of different therapeutic approaches regarding the diagnosis. The second group of papers describes the impact of different personality traits on therapeutic outcome. The third group is focused on the basic characteristics of therapeutic approaches in the treatment of eating disorders. ----- Conclusion: Two basic therapeutic approaches in the treatment of eating disorders are cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic therapy. Although in most of the studies they have not achieved significant differences in outcomes, the first approach is far more present in everyday practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy generally scores faster results, the percentage of improvement is almost the same for both therapies
Psychological maladjustment and sociocultural attitudes towards appearance in adolescents with anorexia nervosa
No full textAnoreksija nervoza spada u teške psihijatrijske poremećaje s visokom stopom mortaliteta te predstavlja značajan psihijatrijski, pedijatrijski, ali i javno-znanstveni problem. Liječenje je dugotrajno, praćeno nizom komplikacija, pa i smrtnim ishodom. Iako se najčešće javlja u doba adolescencije, sve je veća pojavnost ove bolesti u ranijoj, predpubertetskoj dobi. Ovo istraživanje na sveobuhvatan način prilazi anoreksiji nervozi kao entitetu na čiji nastanak, razvoj i održavanje utječu biološki, psihološki i sociokulturalni čimbenici.
U opisanom istraživanju sudjelovalo je 122 ispitanica, 62 ispitanice s anoreksijom nervozom restriktivnog tipa i 60 ispitanica u kontrolnoj skupini. Adolescentice a anoreksijom nervozom podijeljene su u dvije skupine, na mlađe (14 godina). U istraživanju su korišteni sljedeći upitnici: Upitnik općih i zdravstvenih podataka, Upitnik za procjenu simptomatologije poremećaja hranjenja-3 (engl. „Eating Disorder Inventory-3“; EDI-3), Upitnik teškoća u emocionalnoj regulaciji (engl. „Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale“; DERS), Upitnik iskustva u bliskim vezama – revidirana verzija (engl. „Experience in Close Relationship-Revised“; ECR-R), Upitnik o empatiji (engl. „Basic Empathy Scale“; BES), te Upitnik sociokulturalnih stavova o tjelesnom izgledu-3 (engl. „Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire -3“; SATAQ-3).
Cilj istraživanja odnosi se na definiranje rizičnih čimbenika poremećaja hranjenja, te usporedbu rezultata između adolescentica s anoreksijom nervozom i kontrolne skupine obzirom na psihološku prilagodbu, emocionalnu regulaciju, empatiju, stil privrženosti, te sociokulturalne stavove o tjelesnom izgledu. Istraživala se i razlika između mlađih i starijih adolescenata s AN-R po navedenim varijablama, kao i povezanost psiholoških i sociokulturalnih čimbenika s rizikom za razvoj poremećaja hranjenja i dijagnozom anoreksije nervoze. Konačno, cilj je bio ispitati prediktore rizika za razvoj poremećaja hranjenja.
Rezultati istraživanja potvrđuju kako postoji statistički značajna razlika između osoba s anoreksijom nervozom i kontrolne skupine obzirom na psihološke i sociokulturološke čimbenike. Djevojke s AN-R imaju niže samopoštovanje, te veće osobno otuđenje, socijalnu nesigurnost, socijalno otuđenje, interoceptivne teškoće, perfekcionizam i asketizam, nezadovoljstvo tijelom, želju za mršavosti, teškoće u emocionalnoj regulaciji, te nesigurni i izbjegavajući stil privrženosti. Uz navedeno, djevojke s AN-R imaju veću internalizaciju ideala mršavosti i osjećaju jače socijalni pritiske o mršavosti. U starijih adolescentica s AN-R ima više onih s teškoćama u interocepciji i emocionalnoj regulaciji, u odnosu na mlađe adolescentice s AN-R. Nesigurni stil privrženosti, teškoće u emocionalnoj regulaciji, te teškoće u psihološkoj prilagodbi su značajni prediktori rizika za razvoj poremećaja hranjenja u djevojaka s AN-R. U konačnom modelu jedino se psihološka neprilagodba pokazala značajnim prediktorom AN, te objašnjava 50,4% varijance rizika za razvoj poremećaja hranjenja. Nesigurni i izbjegavajući stil privrženosti, socijalni stavovi o tjelesnom izgledu i psihološka neprilagodba su se pokazali značajnim prediktorima rizika za razvoj poremećaja hranjenja u kontrolnoj skupini. U konačnom modelu u kontrolnoj skupini značajnim prediktorima potvrdili su se psihološka neprilagodba i socijalni stavovi o tjelesnom izgledu, te objašnjavaju sveukupno 64,7% varijance rizika za razvoj poremećaja hranjenja.Anorexia nervosa is severe psychiatric disorder with the high mortality rate and represents a significant psychiatric, pediatric and public-scientific problem. The treatment is long-lasting, followed by a series of complications, and a deathly outcome. Although most commonly occurs in adolescence, there is an increasing incidence of this disease in the pre-puberty age. This research comprehensively approaches anorexia nervosa as an entity whose development and maintenance are influenced by biological, psychological and socio-cultural factors. The study included 122 subjects, 62 subjects with restrictive type anorexia and 60 subjects in the control group. Adolescent with AN-R were divided into two groups, younger ( 14 years). The following questionnaires were used in the survey: General and Health Data Questionnaire, Inventory of Eating disoreders-3 (EDI-3), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), Basic Empathy Scale (BES), Socio-cultural attitudes towards physical appearance-3 (SATAQ-3). The aim of the study included the risk factors for eating disorder, and the comparison of the results between patients with anorexia nervosa and control group in terms of general psychological maladaptation, empathy, attachment style, and sociocultural attitudes towards physical appearance. The difference between younger and older adolescents with AN-R on these variables was investigated, as well as the correlation between psychological and socio-cultural factors with a risk for developing eating disorder. Finally, the aim was to examine the predictors of risk for developing eating disorders. Research findings confirm that there is a statistically significant difference between patients with anorexia nervosa and healthy group due to psychological and socio-cultural factors. Girls with AN-R have lower self-esteem, greater personal alienation, social insecurity, social alienation, interoceptive difficulties, perfectionism and asceticism, body dissatisfaction, drive for thinness, emotional regulation difficulties, and higher prevalence of insecure and avoiding attachment style. Additionally, girls with AN-R have greater thin internalization and social pressures to be slim. In older adolescents with AN-R there are more those with interoceptive difficulties and with emotional regulation difficulties, compared to young adolescent with AN-R. Insecure attachment style, emotional regulation, and psychological maladjustment are significant predictors of risk for developing eating disorders in girls with AN-R. In the final model, only psychological maladjustemnt has proved to be a significant predictor and shows a 50.4% variation of risk for eating disorders development. Insecure and avoiding attachment, social attitudes towards physical appearance and psychological maladjustment have been shown as significant predictors of the risk of developing eating disorders in the control group. In the final model, significant predicor was psychological maladjustemnt and social attitudes toeards physical appearance, with more than 64,7% of the eating disorder risk comosite variance explained

Developmental Borderline Personality Disorder in Adolescence
No full textGranični poremećaj ličnosti (BPD) sve se češće prepoznaje kao klinički relevantan poremećaj koji se može manifestirati već u adolescenciji. U novijoj literaturi ističe se i pojam razvojnog graničnog poremećaja ličnosti, koji se odnosi na adolescente s djelomično izraženim, ali stabilnim simptomima BPD-a. Takva stanja zahtijevaju pravovremeno prepoznavanje i liječenje kako bi se smanjio rizik od pogoršanja u odrasloj dobi.
Cilj ovog rada bio je prikazati suvremene dijagnostičke pristupe i psihoterapijske metode koje se koriste u liječenju adolescenata s BPD-om. U analizu je uključeno 30 znanstvenih radova objavljenih u razdoblju od 2020. do 2025. godine, preuzetih iz baze PubMed. Radovi su tematski obrađeni kroz više cjelina: kliničku sliku, dijagnostiku, terapijske pristupe, komorbiditete, hospitalizaciju i evaluaciju terapijskih ishoda.
Zaključno, rezultati rada ukazuju na izraženu potrebu za dostupnim, znanstveno utemeljenim i razvoju prilagođenim intervencijama koje uzimaju u obzir kompleksnost kliničke slike adolescentnog BPD-a i važnost rane detekcije simptoma.Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is increasingly recognized as a clinically relevant condition that can manifest as early as adolescence. Recent literature also highlights the concept of developmental borderline personality disorder, referring to adolescents who present with partially expressed but stable symptoms of BPD. Such presentations require timely recognition and treatment to reduce the risk of progression in adulthood.
The aim of this thesis was to present contemporary diagnostic approaches and psychotherapeutic methods used in the treatment of adolescents with BPD. The analysis included 30 scientific articles published between 2020 and 2025, retrieved from the PubMed database. The studies were thematically analyzed across several domains: clinical presentation, diagnostics, therapeutic approaches, comorbidities, hospitalization, and treatment outcomes.
In conclusion, the findings point to a clear need for accessible, evidence-based, and developmentally sensitive interventions that account for the complexity of the clinical presentation in adolescent BPD and the importance of early symptom detection
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
