Kom ihåg friskvårdsbidraget! : En kvalitativ studie om upplevelsen av friskvårdsbidraget och friskvårdstimmen
No full textSyftet med denna studie var att studera de hälsofrämjande insatser som avser att främja fysisk aktivitet på en stillasittande arbetsplats. Detta gjordes genom intervjuer för att undersöka kontorsmedarbetares erfarenheter och uppfattningar om friskvårdstimmen på arbetstid och friskvårdsbidrag samt hur de upplever att dessa metoder har en inverkan på deras fysiskaaktivitetsnivå. Studien ämnade även att undersöka framgångsfaktorer inom hälsofrämjande insatser. Detta undersöks utifrån såväl HR- som medarbetarperspektiv. Frågeställningar: - Vilken inverkan har friskvårdsbidraget på den fysiska aktivitetsnivån hoskontorsmedarbetare? - Vilken inverkan har friskvårdstimmen på den fysiska aktivitetsnivån hoskontorsmedarbetare? - Vad upplever kontorsmedarbetare är framgångsfaktorer för en hälsofrämjande insats? Tillvägagångssättet och metoden denna studie har utgått ifrån är en kvalitativforskningsdesign. Sammanlagt har fem semistrukturerade intervjuer genomförts för att samla in data och material i syfte att svara på studiens frågeställningar. Urvalet gjordes genombekvämlighets- och snöbollsurval samtidigt som respondenterna var tvungna att uppnå vissa urvalskriterier. För att dra slutsatser och få svar på samtliga frågeställningar analyserades data i form av en innehållsanalys där teman, subkategorier och meningsbärande enheter genererades. Resultatet visade på att friskvårdsbidragets inverkan gav en ekonomisk lättnad och bidrogdelvis till att de anställda bibehöll deras fysiska aktivitetsbeteende. Friskvårdstimmensinverkan på de anställdas fysiska aktivitet upplevdes till stor del bero på arbetsgivarens rolloch den anställdes arbetsbelastning. Framgångsfaktorerna som de anställda ansåg vara viktiga inom hälsofrämjande insatser var samhörighet, systematik och struktur. Friskvårdsbidraget och friskvårdstimmens inverkan på den fysiska aktivitetsnivån hos kontorsmedarbetare kan möjligen grunda sig i vilken motivation individen utgår ifrån samtarbetsgivarens förmåga att ge medarbetarna förutsättningar för att främja det fysiska aktivitetsbeteendet.The aim of this qualitative study was to investigate health promotion interventions aimed atpromoting physical activity in an office workplace. This was collected through interviews toinvestigate office workers' perceptions and experiences of financial incentives and physicalactivity during work hours, as well as if they experienced whether these methods had an impact on their physical activity level. The study also aimed at identifying experiences of success factors for health promotion interventions. This was studied both from HR- andemployee perspectives. Research questions: - What impact does financial incentives have on office workers physical activity level? - What impact does the physical activity during work hours have on office workersphysical activity level? - Which factors does office workers consider to be successful within health promotinginterventions? A total of five semi-structured interviews were conducted. To draw conclusions and to obtainanswers to all the research questions, the data was analyzed through content analysis wherethemes, subcategories and meaning units were generated. The qualitative results showed that the participants thought that the impact of financialincentives provided financial relief and partly contributed to the employees maintaining theirphysical activity behavior. The participants physical activity during work hours depended onthe workload and employer. The success factors that the employees considered to beimportant in health-promoting efforts were relatedness, systematics and structure. The participants regard the impact of financial incentives and physical activity during workhours partly depending on which motivation the individual is driven by and the employer's ability to provide conditions for the employees to promote a physical activity behavior

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
