Categorization of the subjective effect of an experience-based Academy on the participants
No full textLehrveranstaltungen resultieren in einer Vielzahl von verschiedenen Eindrücken bei den Teilnehmern. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde untersucht, welche spezifischen Erlebnisse und daraus resultierende Erfahrungen Teilnehmer der Veranstaltung „Akademie Medizin und Menschlichkeit 2013“ machten. Es wurde hierzu ein qualitativer Forschungsansatz gewählt und zwei verschiedene Kategoriesysteme erarbeitet. Die erarbeiteten Erlebnis- und Erfahrungsdimensionen wurden zudem in ihrer zeitlichen Ausprägung während der Akademie und im Vergleich zu späteren Telefoninterviews untersucht.Different curricular courses will result in a variety of impressions for the participants. This study based on the Academy „Medizin und Menschlichkeit 2013“ investigated specific experiences made by its participants. Through a qualitative research approach including critical incident reports and semi-structured interviews two different category systems were developed: „Erlebnisse“ (experiences based on events) and „Erfahrungen“ (experiences based upon “Erlebnisse”). These different dimensions were also examined in their temporal expression comparing statements obtained in the course with statements obtained in the interview two to three months later
Dealing with suffering and death
No full textAnhand von spezifischen Dilemmasituationen wurde die Wirksamkeit der Seminareinheit „Mein Alltag – von Leiden und Tod“ untersucht. Hierzu wurden schriftliche Dilemma-Analysen der Teilnehmer vor und nach der Intervention sowie die einer Kontrollgruppe mittels qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse nach Kriterien weisheitsbezogenen Wissens ausgewertet und verglichen.
Es zeigte sich ein Bedarf an Förderung weisheitsbezogener Kompetenzen unter Medizinstudierenden. Die Ergebnisse legten dabei einen positiven Effekt der Intervention nahe, was durch entsprechende Evaluationen der Teilnehmenden gestützt wurde.The impact of the medical tutorial “Suffering and death – my workaday life” was investigated using specific dilemma-situations. Therefore, written dilemma-analysis of participators before and after intervention and those of a control group were evaluated and compared by performing qualitative content analysis based on criteria of wisdom-related knowledge.
A need of encouragement of wisdom-related competences in medical students was shown. The results suggest a broad positive effect of the intervention, confirmed by throughout positive evaluation of the participating students
Communication between surgeons and oncological patients
No full textIn dieser Arbeit wurde die Kommunikation zwischen Chirurgen und ihren onkologischen Patienten während des unmittelbar postoperativen Zeitraumes untersucht. Anhand eines standardisierten Interviews mit den Patienten und eines Fragebogens an die behandelnden Chirurgen, wurde die Übereinstimmung bezüglich der Themen OP-Resultat, Histologie, weitere Therapie und Prognose ermittelt. Dabei wurde auch untersucht, ob Unterschiede zwischen kurativ und palliativ behandelten Patienten bestehen. Außerdem wurde der Einfluss verschiedener Faktoren auf die Kommunikation getestet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen Kommunikationsdefizite, insbesondere bei den palliativen Patienten. Besonders wenig Übereinstimmung zeigte sich auch bzgl. der Histologie. Der Besuch der chirurgischen Sprechstunde vor stationärer Aufnahme verbesserte dabei signifikant die Übereinstimmung. Bildung und Versicherungsstatus des Patienten waren für die Themen Histologie und weitere Therapie signifikante Einflussfaktoren. Ferner gaben die Chirurgen in unter 50% der Fälle eine bei Entlassung vollständige Aufklärung des Patienten an. Die Gründe für die ermittelten Kommunikationsdefizite müssen weiter erforscht und die Einflussfaktoren auf diese Kommunikation genauer differenziert werden. Dadurch kann langfristig eine verbesserte Kommunikation zwischen Chirurgen und onkologischen Patienten erreicht werden.The purpose of this study was to examine the communication between surgeons and oncological patients during the immediate postoperative period. Using a standardized interview with the patients and a questionnaire for the surgeons, the congruence between surgeons and patients concerning surgical outcome, histology, further treatment and prognosis was determined. It was also investigated if there are differences between patients undergoing curative-intent and palliative-intent treatment. In addition the influence of different parameters on the communication was tested. The results of this study demonstrate communication deficits, particularly in the palliative patients. Especially regarding the topic histology little agreement between surgeons and patients was shown. The patient’s visit of the surgical consultation before hospitalization improved agreement significantly. The patients’ education and insurance status were significant parameters for the agreement concerning the topics histology and further treatment. In less than 50 % of cases, the patients were fully informed regarding their medical condition after discharge. Further research is needed to identify reasons for the communication deficits and to improve communication between surgeons and cancer patients
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
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
