Entwicklung und Evaluation einer VR-Trainingsanwendung mit punktebasiertem Motivationssystem für die pflegerische Ausbildung
Full text linkDie vorliegende Bachelorarbeit legt ihren Schwerpunkt auf die Konzeption und Implementierung einer Virtual Reality (VR)-Anwendung für die Pflegeausbildung innerhalb des Forschungsprojekts PflegeDigital 2.0. Hierbei steht die Integration von VR im Kontext der Pflegeausbildung im Vordergrund, insbesondere der Einsatz von Gamification-Elementen zur Steigerung des Lernerlebnisses.
Die zunehmende Relevanz von VR in der Pflegeausbildung sowie die Effektivität von Gamification als motivierendes Lerninstrument sind zentrale Anliegen dieser Arbeit. Zunächst wird ein Überblick über die aktuellen Erkenntnisse bezüglich der Akzeptanz, Stresserfahrung und Effektivität von VR in der Pflegeausbildung gegeben. Danach wird ein tieferer Einblick in die Wirkung von spezifischen Motivationsaspekten mit Fokus auf Gamification gewährt. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf der ausführlichen Betrachtung der Konzepte von Gamification und Serious Games, einschließlich einer Einordnung der geplanten Anwendung im Spannungsfeld zwischen diesen beiden Ansätzen. Die Auswirkungen und Effektivität von Gamification im Lernkontext stehen dabei im Fokus der Betrachtung.
Die Anwendung wird abschließend hinsichtlich der Motivation und des Lernerfolgs evaluiert. Hierbei wird das entwickelte System anhand von Fragebögen und Testläufen durch Probanden auf seine Wirksamkeit hin überprüft und die Leistungen ausgewertet. Danach werden die Ergebnisse der Evaluation analysiert und mögliche Rückschlüsse für die zukünftige Entwicklung von VR-Anwendungen für PflegeDigital 2.0 gezogen. Abschließend wird ein Ausblick auf die Erweiterungsmöglichkeiten bzw. Änderungen des Motivationssystems und neue Forschungsansätze gegeben.This bachelor's thesis focuses on the design and implementation of a Virtual Reality (VR) application for nursing training within the PflegeDigital 2.0 research project, focussing on the integration of virtual reality (VR) in the context of nursing training, in particular the use of gamification elements to enhance the learning experience.
The increasing relevance of VR in nursing training and the effectiveness of gamification as a motivating learning tool are central concerns of this work. Firstly, an overview of the current findings regarding the acceptance, stress experience and effectiveness of VR in nursing training is provided. This is followed by a deeper insight into the effect of specific motivational aspects focussing on gamification. Particular attention is paid to the detailed consideration of the concepts of gamification and serious games, including a categorisation of the planned application in the field of tension between these two approaches. The effects and effectiveness of gamification in the learning context are the focus of the analysis.
Finally, the application is evaluated in terms of motivation and learning success. The effectiveness of the developed system will be tested using questionnaires and test runs by test persons and the results analysed. The results of the evaluation are then analysed, and possible conclusions are drawn for the future development of VR applications for PflegeDigital 2.0. Finally, an outlook is given on the expansion possibilities and changes to the motivation system and new research approaches
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

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.
