Experiência Profissionalizante na vertente de Investigação, Farmácia Hospitalar e Farmácia Comunitária
No full textThis work is divided into three chapters. The first chapter refers to the research work in
Pharmaceutical Sciences, developed under the ERASMUS+ program in the Skin Barrier
Research Group of the Faculty of Pharmacy of Charles University. The second chapter
reports my experience in hospital pharmacy at the Centro Hospitalar Universitário da
Cova da Beira. Finally, the third chapter describes my experience in community
pharmacy at Farmácia Silveira Mem Martins.
The first chapter is entitled “Evaluation of topical formulation based on ceramides and
study of its effect on the skin barrier properties” and was carried out within the scope of
the research component, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Andrej Kovacik. It is known
that changes in the lipid content of the stratum corneum, especially ceramides, correlate
with skin diseases. The present work aimed to study the role of topical formulations
based on ceramides and the barrier properties of the skin after applying the prepared
emulsions. The study concluded that the topical application did not favor the barrier
properties, however, it increased the organization of the lipid chain. These results may
be useful to further support other studies that develop topical lipid-based formulations.
In the second chapter, I report my experience over 8 weeks in Hospital Pharmacy, under
the guidance of Dra. Olímpia Fonseca. In this chapter, I present everything I have learned
about the medication circuit in the hospital and how the pharmacist plays a key role in
its multidisciplinary team.
In the third chapter, I describe my experience in Community Pharmacy, under the
guidance of Dra. Bruna Castanheira. I described the activities to be developed in the
community pharmacy and how the pharmacist has an active role in society.O presente trabalho encontra-se dividido em três capítulos. O primeiro capítulo é

O primeiro capítulo intitula-se “Evaluation of topical formulation based on ceramides
and study of its effect on the skin barrier properties” e foi realizado no âmbito da
componente de investigação, sob orientação do Prof. Dr. Andrej Kovácik. Sabe-se que
mudanças no conteúdo de lípidos no stratum corneum, especialmente ceramidas,
correlacionam-se com doenças da pele. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo estudar
o papel de formulações tópicas à base de ceramidas, e estudar as propriedades barreira
da pele após a aplicação das emulsões preparadas. O estudo permitiu concluir que a
aplicação tópica não favoreceu as propriedades barreira, no entanto, aumentou a
organização da cadeia lipídica. Estes resultados podem ser úteis para suportar outros
estudos que desenvolvam formulações tópicas à base de lípidos.
No segundo capítulo relato a minha experiência ao longo de 8 semanas em Farmácia
Hospitalar, sob a orientação da Dra. Olímpia Fonseca. Apresento neste capítulo tudo o
que apreendi sobre o circuito do medicamento no hospital e como o farmacêutico
desempenha um papel fulcral na equipa multidisciplinar.
No terceiro capítulo descrevo a minha experiência em Farmácia Comunitária, sob a
orientação da Dra. Bruna Castanheira. Descrevi as atividades a serem desenvolvidas na
farmácia comunitária e como o farmacêutico possui um papel ativo perante a sociedade
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
