Sports recreational stimuli and their relationship to psychological happiness among older people in Tiaret
No full textThe study aimed at identifying the most important incentives for recreational sports activity in the state of Tiaret, and identifying the nature of the relationship between the stimuli of recreational sports activity and psychological happiness and its components in the elderly people.The researcher used the descriptive approach, and the study sample included thirty-six (36) elderly people.The researcher applied a questionnaire of recreational sports stimuli, and psychological happiness scale.The results of the study revealed the most important stimuli for recreational sports activity related to the psychological, social, cultural and health aspects. In addition , there was a statistically significant positive correlation between axes of the questionnaire of the stimuli for recreational sports activity, and the dimensions of psychological happiness, and the overall degree of psychological happiness
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
El impacto de un programa recreativo ambiental en pacientes con depresión psicológica.
Full text linkThis study examined the impact of an environmental recreational program on patients with depression. The study was conducted at the Mental Health Hospital in Tiaret state, and included a random sample of (12) patients divided into control and experimental groups. The "Beck" scale was used as a tool for data collection, in addition to personal interviews and observation. The study found that the environmental recreational program had a positive effect on depressed patients through recreational sessions, aerobic exercises, and yoga included in the program. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on green environments and their gardens and coordination to help depressed patients walk in them, to release the negative energies within them, and provide them with positive energy to cope with psychological pressures.
Este estudio examinó el impacto de un programa recreativo ambiental en pacientes con depresión. El estudio se realizó en el Hospital de Salud Mental del estado de Tiaret, e incluyó una muestra aleatoria de (12) pacientes divididos en grupos de control y experimental. Se utilizó la escala "Beck" como herramienta para la recogida de datos, además de entrevistas personales y observación. El estudio descubrió que el programa recreativo ambiental tenía un efecto positivo en los pacientes deprimidos gracias a las sesiones recreativas, los ejercicios aeróbicos y el yoga incluidos en el programa. Por lo tanto, es necesario centrarse en los entornos verdes y sus jardines y coordinación para ayudar a los pacientes deprimidos a pasear por ellos, liberar las energías negativas que llevan dentro y proporcionarles energía positiva para hacer frente a las presiones psicológicas
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
