Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

Beekeeping and honey bees: a conceptual framework for the classification of beekeeping management practices implemented in Europe
No full texteekeeping is an important sector of the European agriculture generating employment and increasing incomes in rural areas. The role of the beekeeper is considered fundamental for maintaining the health status of a managed honey bee colony and, if intended, ensure its productivity. Several monitoring projects highlighted the direct and/or indirect role of the beekeeper for ensuring healthy honey bee colonies. However, a clear overview on the main actions carried out by beekeepers and their role for the successful management of honey bee colonies is missing. In this study, we aim at providing a generalized framework of classification for the Beekeeping Management Practices (BMPs) carried out by the European beekeepers and their influence on honey bees. Six BMPs were selected for their relevance at European level and their influence on a honey bee colony. Based on an extensive literature review each BMP was characterized in relation to i) the elements guiding their application, ii) the potential impacts on a honey bee colony and iii) the scenario-based variables that might influence their application and/or effectiveness. Knowledge gaps were filled through an Expert Knowledge Elicitation procedure. This work represents the first attempt to condense and further elaborate the knowledge available on the actions carried out by European beekeepers and quantify their influence on a honey bee colony. This work might support the development of realistic scenarios of beekeeping in Europe and the implementation of knowledge-based risk management actions
COLORECTAL CANCER IN THE ELDERLY IS THERE A ROLE FOR SAFE AND CURATIVE SURGERY?
No full textRecent reports place colorectal cancer (CRC) as the third most common cancer for both sexes. Elderly patients are often viewed as high-risk surgical candidates with high rates of emergency presentations and perioperative mortality. The aim of our study was to examine the characteristics and perioperative morbidity and mortality rates of elderly patients presented to CRC surgery. Methods: We retrospectively studied 248 patients who underwent surgery for CRC at our institution between July 2003 and December 2005. Risk factors included sex, age, cancer localization, Dukes' and TNM classification, blood transfusion, preoperative Physiologic and Operative Severity Score for the enUmeration of Mortality and Morbidity score and mode of presentation. Primary outcome was perioperative death. Results: The study consisted of 143 men and 105 women. One hundred and thirty-four (54%) patients were more than 75 years of age. In the two older groups, cancer was more common in the proximal colon than in the youngest age group (P = 0.001). Of the 25 resections carried out as emergency, 20 were in those who were more than 75 years of age (P < 0.001). In elective procedure, perioperative mortality scores were 3.1% in those who were more than 75 years of age versus 0% in those less than 75 years, meanwhile in emergency, rates of 24 versus 0% (P = not significant) were registered. In Cox multivariate regression analysis, age and mode of presentation reached statistical significance. Conclusion: Old age itself is not an independent negative prognostic factor for CRC surgery. Although emergency operations were associated with poor outcome, most patients survived and left the hospital. This study suggests that, whenever possible, curative intent should be applied in patients with CRC, irrespective of the ag
