AFFECTIVE COGNITIVE AND AFFECTIVE NON-COGNITIVE SOCIAL OBJECTS: A CASE STUDY OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATION OF HEAMOPHILIA FROM THE HERO PROJECT
No full textReprezentarea socială a hemofiliei: o abordare narativă
No full textBuilding upon the theory of social representations and the concept of social object of representation, and employing the narrative approach, in this paper we examine the specificity of haemophilia as a social object of representation and the social representations of the carriers regarding this bleeding disorder. As haemophilia is rare, inherited chronic illness, we were interested to explore the process of construction and re-construction of social representation, taking into consideration the impact of three major elements – shared knowledge (common or scientific), everyday visibility and lived experience. According to our results, the narrations about haemophilia are structured around four dimensions (cognitive, affective, behavioural and relational), pointing to the different processes by which social representation is established. Two objects of representation (affective cognitive vs affective non-cognitive), as well two categories of discourses (families with history vs families without history of haemophilia) with reference to the process of construction and re-construction of representation will be analysed in this paper
Psychological interventions for people with hemophilia
No full textThe primary purpose of this review is to evaluate if psychological therapies are helpful in improving the ability of peoplewith hemophilia
to cope with their chronic condition.
The chronic aspect of hemophilia, its clinical variabilities and the differences in treatment availability across countries are all factors
that affect wellness in its emotional, intellectual, spiritual and behavioural dimensions.
The main objectives are to determine in people with hemophilia:
1. if any psychotherapies are effective in the management of the disease;
2. which phase of the patient’s life or phase of treatment, or both, this effectiveness occurs;
3. which psychological therapies (as described under Types of interventions) are more effective for any given situation
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
The process of construction and re-construction of the social representation of haemophilia: sensitive issues and affective-cognitive implications
No full textBuilding upon the theory of social representations (Moscovici, 1961/2008) and employing the dialogical approach (Marková, 2003) and the concept of social object of representation (Wolter, 2009), in this paper we examine the specificity of haemophilia as a social object of representation and the social representations of the carers regarding this bleeding disorder4. The data were collected from 30 semi-standardized interviews with carers from seven countries (Italy, UK, USA, Algeria, Brazil, France and Germany)5.
Interviews were treated as social life stories and the thematic narrative perspective (cf Laszlo, 1997; Murray, 1997, 2002; Riessman, 2008) was applied in the analysis of the data6
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
