No full textTesis (Magíster en Gestión de la Actividad Física y Deportiva)Esta investigación tiene por objetivo relacionar los factores de riesgo cardiovascular entre empleados que practican actividad física propuesta por Empresas Carozzi V región y empleados que no realizan actividad física.
Las enfermedades cardiovasculares es la principal causa de mortalidad en la población adulta en Chile. Uno de sus principales factores de riesgo cardiovascular es el sedentarismo y la obesidad. En Chile cerca de 82% de la población adulta se considera sedentario, con un alto porcentaje de obesidad. Ambos factores de riesgo son modificables con pequeños cambios de hábitos de vida en las personas.
Se aplicó un cuestionario con preguntas básicas para determinar el sedentarismo y el examen médico preventivo del adulto aplicado por funcionarios de la corporación municipal de Viña del Mar. Con esta descripción se relacionaron los factores de riesgos cardiovasculares identificados con las actividades físicas que desarrolla la compañía para sus trabajadores y se identificaron si es efectivo en la disminución de los factores de riesgo cardiovascular respecto a los trabajadores que no practican actividad física.
De acuerdo a los resultados de esta investigación quedó demostrado que no es suficiente las actividades físicas propuesta por la Compañía para disminuir los factores de riesgo cardiovascular, sin embargo, es una buena iniciativa para fomentar la actividad física.This research aims to relate cardiovascular risk factors among employees who practice physical activity proposed by Empresas Carozzi V region and employees who do not perform physical activity.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the adult population in Chile. One of the main cardiovascular risk factors are physical inactivity and obesity. In Chile, about 82% of the adult population is considered sedentary, with a high percentage of obesity.
Both risk factors can be modify with small lifestyle changes in people. We applied a questionnaire with basic questions to determine a sedentary lifestyle and an adult preventive health examination applied by officials of the municipal corporation of Viña del Mar. Using the results, the cardiovascular risk factores were related to the physical activities developed by the company. Also, it was identified if the physical activity is effective in reducing cardiovascular risk factors on workers who practice it versus those who do not perform physical activity.
According to the results it was demonstrated that physical activities proposed by the Company are not enough to reduce cardiovascular risk factors, but it is a good initiative to promote physical activity
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
