Negotiating the Post Covid-19 Period: Making the Case for Communities of Practice - Negoziare il periodo successivo al Covid-19: sostenere le comunití di pratica

Nella catarsi destinata a seguire la pandemia, diventerí essenziale riconoscere l'esperienza vissuta di vulnerabilití , turbolenza e disgregazione quando la "nuova normalití " emergerí e sarí compresa. Una raccolta di questi impatti è quanto mai necessaria per comprendere i livelli sociali, emotivi, mentali e spirituali che costituiscono la sopravvivenza (Holla et al., 2018). Come si ricalibra la gente dopo una crisi? Esistono meccanismi utilizzabili da parte degli individui? Cosa succede a livello di gruppo o di comunití ?

INGLESELiving through the Covid-19 crisis can be exhausting for persons who are focused on survival consistently (Holla et al., 2018). In the catharsis set to follow the pandemic, it is essential to recognize the lived experience of vulnerability, turbulence, and disruption as the "˜new normal' emerges and is comprehended. An inventory of these impacts is necessary to understand the social, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels that constitute surviving (Holla et al., 2018). How do people recalibrate after a crisis? Are there mechanisms for use by individuals? What happens at a group or community level? Is organized professional outreach stipulated?Read Editorial - click or download the fil
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
The role of the patient liaison nurse in the ambulatory care context of a Middle Eastern teaching hospital: A practice model
Get PDFThe commencement of the role of patient liaison nurse (PLN) in the ambulatory care context of a Middle Eastern teaching hospital was an organizational response to patient care concerns during the site absence of physicians and the healthcare team. The PLN consequently evolved as a functional role of the registered nurse (RN) in ambulatory care nursing. The core research question asked was: how can a model be developed to describe the PLN role? The related topics for research included (i) the lived experiences of nurses in the functional role of the RN as PLN, (ii) what the nursing management team in the ambulatory care context considered as the functional role of the RN as PLN, (iii) the core and related concepts of the functional role of the RN as PLN, (iv) a conceptual framework to describe the PLN role, (v) the relational statements of the model that describes the functional role of the RN as PLN, (vi) the evaluation of the model, and (vii) formulation of guidelines for operationalization of the model. A qualitative process of scientific research inquiry followed two phases. The first phase included the research methods on the critical incident technique and reflective journaling to study the lived experiences of the PLN participants, and vignette responses that were used to investigate what nursing management respondents considered to be the functional role of the RN as PLN. The empirical results that emerged from the data analyses of the reflective journals and vignette responses were stated as conclusion statements of the emergent themes, and were used in phase two as the starting point for model development. The process of scientific inquiry concluded with an evaluation of the model, and the generation of guidelines for the operationalization of the model for patient liaison nursing in the ambulatory care context of a Middle Eastern teaching hospital
