Attitudes and knowledge of women employed in jobs with special working conditions regarding breast self-examination in Osijek-Baranja County
No full textCilj istraživanja: Ciljevi istraživanja bili su ispitati stavove, razinu znanja, navike i povezanost razine znanja i stavova žena zaposlenih na poslovima s posebnim uvjetima rada o samopregledu dojke s obzirom na dob i područje rada.
Nacrt studije: Presječna studija.
Ispitanici i metode: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 215 žena zaposlenih na poslovima s posebnim uvjetima rada u Osječko-baranjskoj županiji. Istraživanje provedeno metodom papir-olovka. Korišteni anketni upitnik osmišljen je od strane autora te se sastojao od dva dijela: općih sociodemografskih podataka i specifičnih podataka. Statistička obrada podataka provedena je programima Microsoft Excel i JASP (verzija 0.19.3). Primijenjene su metode deskriptivne statistike, Kruskal–Wallis H2 test (χ², P < 0,05) i Spearmanov koeficijent rang-korelacije (ρ).
Rezultati: Većina ispitanica zna da se samopregled dojke treba provoditi jedanput mjesečno, no znanje o vremenu i tehnici izvođenja nije ujednačeno. Statistički značajne razlike u razini znanja zabilježene su među dobnim skupinama (P = 0,02) i područjima rada (P = 0,03), gdje najmlađe žene i one iz umjetničkih i biotehničkih područja imaju višu razinu znanja. Žene starijih dobnih skupina pokazuju bolje navike (P < 0,001), dok razlike među područjima rada nisu značajne. Stavovi ispitanica prema samopregledu uglavnom su pozitivni, bez statistički značajnih razlika među dobnim skupinama i područjima rada. Značajna negativna povezanost znanja i stavova utvrđena je samo u tehničkim znanostima (P = 0,04).
Zaključak: Rezultati ukazuju na potrebu edukacije žena zaposlenih na poslovima s posebnim uvjetima rada o važnosti i pravilnoj izvedbi samopregleda dojke, osobito u starijim dobnim skupinama.Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the attitudes, level of knowledge, habits, and the correlation between knowledge and attitudes of women employed in jobs with special working conditions considering breast self-examination, taking into account their age and field of work.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Participants and Methods: The study included 215 women employed in occupations with special working conditions in Osijek-Baranja County. The research was conducted using the paper-and-pencil method. The questionnaire, designed by the author, consisted of two parts: general sociodemographic data and specific information. Data analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel and JASP software (version 0.19.3). Descriptive statistics, the Kruskal–Wallis H2 test (χ², P < 0.05), and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (ρ) were applied.
Results: Most participants knew that breast self-examination should be performed monthly, but knowledge regarding the correct timing and technique was inconsistent. Statistically significant differences in knowledge levels were observed between age groups (P = 0.02) and fields of work (P = 0.03), with the youngest women and those from artistic and biotechnical fields showing higher levels of knowledge. Older women had more established self-examination habits (P < 0.001), while no significant differences were found across field of work. Attitudes toward self-examination were generally positive, with no statistically significant differences across age groups or fields. A significant negative correlation between knowledge and attitudes was found only in the technical sciences group (P = 0.04).
Conclusion: The results indicate the need for further education of women employed in occupations with special working conditions on the importance and proper performance of breast self-examination, especially among older age groups
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.
