Small animal internal medicine and surgery - Osteosarcoma in ex-racing greyhounds
No full textThis report is an effort to describe most of the clinical procedures that took place during the integrated externship of the Master’s degree in Veterinary Medicine at the University of Evora. The externship had a duration of sixteen weeks and was realized in the “A&A Veterinary Hospital” which has a substantial caseload of Retired Racing Greyhounds with Osteosarcoma. The first part, of the report, relates to the casuistics of Small Animal Internal Medicine and Surgery, divided per area of interest. The second part, is a current bibliographic review on canine Osteosarcoma, followed by three case-studies of Osteosarcoma in Retired Racing Greyhounds, with different survival times; Resumo:
Medicina Interna e Cirurgia em Pequenos Animais Osteosarcoma em cães de raça Greyhound, ex- corredores
O presente relatório é uma descrição da maioria dos procedimentos clínicos, que se realizaram durante o estágio curricular do Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária da Universidade de Évora. O estágio, teve a duração de dezasseis semanas e realizou-se em “A&A Veterinary Hospital” que apresenta na sua casuística muitos cães de raça Greyhound, Ex- corredores, com Osteosarcoma. A primeira secção relata a casuística, em Medicina Interna e Cirurgia de Pequenos Animais, dividida por área de interesse. A classificação dos casos foi realizada com base no sistema somático afetado ou no motivo da visita. A segunda secção é uma revisão bibliográfica sobre Osteosarcoma canino, acompanhada por três casos de Osteosarcoma em cães ex-corredores, de raça Greyhound, com diferentes tempos de sobrevivência
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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

No full textkoamabayili/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
