No full textSAŽETAK
Uvod: Ruptura prednje ukrižene svrstava se u najčešće ozljeda koljena. Prednja ukrižena sveza jedna je od glavnih stabilizatora koljena stoga je pravilno liječenje rupture od velike važnosti za pacijenta. Moguća su dva pristupa liječenju – konzervativni i operativni. Dvije najčešće metode operativnog liječenja su rekonstrukcija pomoću patelarnog presadka – BPTB grafta i rekonstrukcija mekotkivnim graftom tetiva mišića ST/GT.
Metode: Istraživanje je provedeno u mjesecu srpnju 2023. godine. Podaci su prikupljani uvidom u fizioterapeutske kartone pacijenata kojima je učinjena rekonstrukcija prednje ukrižene sveze. Za testiranje hipoteza korišteni su t-test za nezavisne uzorke ili neparmeterijska inačica. Razina statističke značajnosti istraživanja odrediti će se na razini p< 0,05.
Rezultati: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 60 pacijenata, 42 pacijenta su muškog spola dok ih je 18 ženskog spola. Svi pacijenti su mlađe životne dobi. Istraživanje je pokazalo kako nema statistički značajne razlike u funkcionalnom oporavku nakon rekonstrukcije prednje ukrižene sveze dvama različitim pristupima.
Zaključak: Ne postoji statistički značajna razlika u funkcionalnom oporavku nakon rekonstrukcije prednje ukrižene sveze s obzirom na dva operacijska pristupa. U istraživanju su odbačene prve dvije hipoteze, dok je treća hipoteza prihvaćena. U srednjim fazama rehabilitacije u funkcionalnom smislu između graftova nema bitne razlike, te obje metode daju podjednak rezultat.ABSTRACT
Introduction: Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament is one of the most common knee injuries. The anterior cruciate ligament is one of the main stabilizers of the knee, so proper treatment of a rupture is of great importance to the patient. A conservative treatment approach and an operative approach are possible. The two most common methods of operative treatment are reconstruction using a patellar graft - BPTB graft and reconstruction with a soft tissue graft of the tendons of the ST/GT muscles.
Methods: The research was conducted in July 2023. Data were collected by reviewing the physiotherapy records of patients who had anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The t-test for independent samples or the non-parametric version were used to test the hypotheses. The level of statistical significance of the research will be determined at the p< 0.05 level.
Results: 60 patients participated in the study, 42 patients were male and 18 were female. The patients are younger. The research showed that there is no statistically significant difference in functional recovery after the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament using two different approaches.
Conclusion: There is no statistically significant difference in functional recovery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with regard to the two operative approaches. In the research, the first two hypotheses were rejected, while the third hypothesis was accepted. At the beginning of rehabilitation, we encounter differences, but already in the middle stages of rehabilitation, in terms of functionality, there is no significant difference between the grafts, and both methods give the same result

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
