Conducting research priority setting in multisectoral contexts: A case study on sustainability and health services
No full textBackground: Addressing global challenges requires effective multisectoral collaboration in research priority setting, particularly in sustainability and health services. The integration of diverse stakeholder perspectives is crucial for impactful research agendas. Objective: The workshop aims to demonstrate effective strategies for multisectoral research priority setting, engaging stakeholders from health, social services, environmental sciences, and beyond. It focuses on consensus development and prioritising research agendas for sustainability and health service improvements. Description and Activities/Interaction Plans.: The workshop will be using a combination of lectures along with role-playing, and observations. It will start with a series of presentation on key methods in research priority setting, followed by an immersive exercise. Volunteers from the participants will be invited to play a role of stakeholder of various countries with a brief on the health services issues, particularly in coastal communities affected by climate change. Others would be observers and ethnographers and one or two people will be facilitators. At the end of the exercise, the group will reflect on challenges and issues that need to be considered running these priority setting exercises. This participatory approach aims to reflect the real-world complexities of multisectoral research coordination. The case scenarios are co-developed with local communities in UK and Philippines, ensuring relevance and inclusivity. Community engagement continues to shape the workshop, with the plans to include community representatives directly in the facilitation process, subject to fundings for travel. Participants will gain insights into the challenges of multisectoral research priority setting, emphasising the importance of stakeholder engagement, consensus building, and diverse perspectives in research agendas. This practical experience aims to highlight the collaborative and deliberative approaches necessary for effective research prioritisation. The workshop bridges theoretical knowledge with practical application, advancing multisectoral research priority setting. It highlights the need for collaborative approaches to tackle the challenges of sustainability and health services, contributing to evidence-based practice and policy-making discourse. Relevance: Contributing to the sustainable development agenda, this workshop supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, embodying collaboration and innovation in global evidence-based health care, education, and social welfare
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
Peso corporal en pacientes fisurados y su relación con el medio de alimentación postquirúrgico, una revisión sistemática
No full textIntroducción: Las fisuras labio máxilo palatinas (FLMP) son la malformación cráneo facial más frecuente y en Chile tienen una gran incidencia. Se producen por la
alteración en la fusión de los tejidos que darán origen al labio y/o el paladar durante
el desarrollo embrionario. Esta alteración afecta funciones vitales tales como la alimentación. En lactantes con FLMP, los desafíos de la alimentación se presentan
desde el nacimiento y comienzan de nuevo cada vez que se completa la corrección
quirúrgica de la fisura. La forma de alimentación en el postoperatorio sigue siendo
un tema controvertido entre los equipos médicos; muchos utilizan protocolos de alimentación postquirúrgicos que carecen de evidencia científica.
Metodología: Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática de la literatura publicada en
cuatro bases de datos; Cochrane CENTRAL, Embase, Pubmed y Web of Science.
Se incluyeron en la búsqueda ensayos clínicos aleatorizados, ensayos clínicos
controlados y estudios observacionales que evalúen el peso corporal postoperatorio
de lactantes con FLMP no sindrómica según el medio de alimentación utilizado
luego de la cirugía de reparación de la fisura, sin restricción de año ni idioma.
Resultados: Un total de tres ensayos clínicos aleatorizados y dos estudios observacionales fueron incluidos para análisis en esta revisión sistemática. Dos ensayos
clínicos aleatorizados fueron incluidos en el metaanálisis. No se reportó una
diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre las dos intervenciones (pecho
materno o biberón en comparación con cuchara) para el desenlace de peso corporal
postquirúrgico [ 0.13 kg (95% IC -0.64 a 0.91 ) ( Z = 0.34, p = 0.74 ) (muy baja
certeza de la evidencia) ]. Todos los estudios reportaron ganancia de peso postoperatorio.
Conclusión: El efecto de los medios de alimentación utilizados por el lactante fisurado sobre el peso corporal postquirúrgico es incierto debido a la baja certeza de la
evidencia disponible y la falta de más estudios con diseños apropiados que evalúen
este resultado.Adscrito a Proyecto PRI-ODO 2022/02

Terapia antiagregante plaquetaria en pacientes sometidos a cirugía oral : Revisión sistemática
No full textTrabajo de Investigación Requisito para optar al Título de Cirujano DentistaIntroducción: El número de pacientes que se encuentran en tratamiento con
antiagregantes plaquetarios (TAP) ha ido en aumento las últimas décadas. Los
beneficios de la interrupción del TAP previo a procedimientos de cirugía oral
continúan siendo estudiados y aunque existen artículos en la literatura que
proponen ciertas medidas terapéuticas, estos presentan falencias metodológicas
que no permiten ser concluyentes. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura
con el propósito de determinar el riesgo de sangrado perioperatorio, en pacientes
bajo TAP sometidos a cirugía oral, cuando suspendieron el tratamiento en
comparación con aquellos que lo continuaron.
Materiales y métodos: En agosto de 2016 se efectuó una búsqueda sistemática
de ensayos clínicos controlados aleatorizados sobre pacientes bajo TAP sometidos
a procedimientos de cirugía oral menor, en los que el tratamiento fue suspendido o
mantenido previo a la intervención; recurriendo a las bases de dato COCHRANE
LIBRARY, MEDLINE, EMBASE, revistas de especialidad, actas de congreso y listas
de referencias. Dos revisores de forma independiente realizaron la selección de los
estudios, la extracción de datos y la evaluación de riesgo de sesgos. Cuando hubo
diferencias, fueron resueltas por consenso o en su defecto, un tercer revisor actuó
como árbitro. Se realizó el metaanálisis con un estimador global de sangrado severo
calculado en términos de riesgo relativo (RR) con su correspondiente intervalo de
confianza (IC) del 95%.
Resultados: Un total de 3 ensayos fueron incluidos. El dominio que obtuvo menor
riesgo de sesgo global fue el reporte incompleto de datos y el con mayor riesgo de
sesgo fue la notificación selectiva de resultados. Suspender la TAP en comparación
con mantenerla no se asoció con un efecto protector sobre el sangrado
intraoperatorio clínicamente significativo (RR=0,61; IC 95%: 0,28 – 1,25; p= 0,72;I²= 0%)
Conclusiones: Resultados muestran una leve tendencia al sangrado
intraoperatorio severo en el grupo que mantuvo la TAP, sin embargo, estos no son
clínicamente significativos. Debido a los riesgos asociados a la alteración de la TAP
y sus posibles consecuencias en cuanto a eventos trombóticos, sería recomendable
mantenerla sin modificaciones, ya que existen maniobras para el manejo del
sangrado perioperatorio.Adscrito a proyecto PRIO-ODO 015/00
