    The interplay between gait and cognitive function in elderly people.

    Contains fulltext : 52458.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access)In the next 10 years the number of Dutch people aged 65 and over will increase with 650,000 to 3.0 million people. The prevalence of multiple and often interacting problems in elderly people is high and have many adverse effects on health and quality of life. However, most research and guidelines are directed at isolated health problems. Therefore the research in this thesis is directed towards the interplay between gait and cognition, which both are highly prevalent in old age, have a great impact on the quality of life and functioning of older people and their carers and increase the risk of falling. In this thesis methods to investigate gait and cognitive function and their possible interplay are investigated. It can be concluded that impairments in gait and cognition too often co-occur to be just determined by coincidence. Literature together with the results of this thesis supports the hypothesis that gait and cognition influence each other in older people. They probably have a shared pathophysiology and treatment given for a cognitive problem, for example antipsychotics, can also influence gait. Cognitive functions that seem involved in the coordination of gait and balance are division of attention and insight in cognitive and physical abilities in the cognitive regulation of walking. Executive functions, such as planning and mental flexibility, are also involved and better executive functioning is associated with better gait and balance performance during walking with a cognitive dual task. Although numerous questions are still open, enough knowledge is already present to be able to recommend: If gait is impaired also assess cognitive function and if cognitive function is impaired, also assess gait!RU Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, 07 december 2007Promotores : Olde Rikkert, M.G.M., Mulley, G.P.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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
