    An evaluation of the relationship between Gray’s revised RST and Eysenck’s PEN: distinguishing BIS and FFFS in Carver and White’s BIS/BAS scales

    Recent revisions of Gray's Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (RST) have important implications for self-report measures of approach and avoidance behaviours and how Gray's model relates to other personality models. In this paper, we examine the revised RST by comparing Carver and White's (1994) original one-factor solution of the BIS scale with two alternative two-factor solutions separating BIS-Anxiety and FFFS-Fear. We also examine the relationships between Eysenck's PEN and revised RST factors. Two hundred and twelve participants completed Carver and White's BIS/BAS scales and Eysenck's Personality Questionnaire-Revised. Confirmatory factor analyses of the original BIS scale showed that the hypothesized two-factor model of BIS-Anxiety and FFFS-Fear was the best fit to these data. Associations between the revised RST and Eysenck's PEN were examined using path analysis. In line with theoretical predictions, Psychoticism was related to revised BIS-Anxiety and BAS, Neuroticism to revised BIS-Anxiety and FFFS- Fear, and Extraversion to BAS and FFFS-Fear. Distinctions between BAS subscales and their associations to BIS, N and P were made in terms of past, present and future focus. Possible explanations for mixed findings in the literature and implications for future research are discussed

    Predmet ovog završnog rada je zadovoljstvo korisnika zdravstvenim uslugama u Specijalnoj bolnici za medicinsku rehabilitaciju Daruvarske toplice. Glavni cilj rada bio je istražiti i analizirati zadovoljstvo korisnika u odnosu na način financiranja zdravstvenih tretmana. Za potrebe izrade rada provedeno je istraživanje u koje je bilo uključeno 100 korisnika Specijalne bolnice za medicinsku rehabilitaciju Daruvarske toplice. Istraživanje je provedeno metodom anketnog upitnika, a proces prikupljanja odgovora trajao je od 1. rujna 2015. do 1. prosinca 2015. godine. Od ukupno 100 ispitanika, njih 73% financirano je od strane HZZO – a, dok ostalih 27% je na medicinsku rehabilitaciju došlo o vlastitom trošku. Rezultati su pokazali kako je očekivano zadovoljstvo korisnika pri dolasku na rehabilitaciju na istom nivou kao i njihovo zadovoljstvo pruženom uslugom za vrijeme rehabilitacije. Analizom rezultata kod očekivane kvalitete utvrđeno je da ne postoj značajne statističke razlike zadovoljstva korisnika s obzirom na način financiranja usluge, izuzev u slučaju zadovoljstva uslugom medicinskih sestara. Statistička razlika je potvrđena kod razine dobivene kvalitete obzirom na način financiranja, pri rezervaciji smještaja, kvaliteti pregleda liječnika i usluge medicinskih sestara. Kvaliteta usluge sestrinskog osoblja ocijenjena je visokom ocjenom, kako u vidu očekivane razine, tako i u vidu dobivene razine, što medicinsku sestru stavlja na visoko mjesto u rehabilitacijskom timu

    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

    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

    (r,r)-disynephrine ether bis(hydrogen sulfate)

    The asymmetric unit of the title compound [systematic name: (R, R)-2,4-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-N,N'-dimethyl-3-oxapentane-1,5- diammonium bis(hydrogen sulfate)], C18H26N2O32+center dot-2HSO(4)(-), contains one half-cation and one hydrogen sulfate anion. The cation has crystallographically imposed twofold symmetry with the rotation axis passing through the central ether O atom. Hydrogen bonds between the hydroxy group and amine H atoms of the cation to two hydrogen sulfate anions link the three ions in a ring motif. A three-dimensional network is accomplished by additional O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds between the anions and by N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds between the cations. Disorder with equally occupied sites affects the H-atom position in the anio

    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
