Aportes de la Psicología Positiva a la salud mental frente a la pandemia por COVID-19
No full textDuring the worldwide health emergency situation caused by the rapid expansion of COVID-19, some strategies have been implemented seeking to reduce the spread of the virus to more lethal levels, including quarantine, isolation, distancing. social and confinement; Different strategies that have as a meeting point the restriction of human movements. So, we have that human behavior is an important variable to understand this phenomenon comprehensively. The main objective is to reflect on the contributions of positive psychology to mental health in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic in the framework of health promotion and prevention of symptoms of discomfort, behavior and psychosocial risk factors. For this, a conceptual description of positive psychology is made, it is related how the general population is living this process from the scientific evidence. By way of closing, general contributions for mental health guidance are generated with these lines described, it should be considered as brushstrokes to action in promotion, prevention, counseling and therapy but not as a drawer intervention manual.INTRODUCCIÓN. En medio de la situación de emergencia sanitaria que se está viviendo a nivel mundial provocada por la rápida expansión de la COVID-19, los representantes de gobiernos han implementado algunas estrategias buscando disminuir la propagación del virus a niveles más letales, entre ellas se tienen: cuarentena, aislamiento, distanciamiento social y confinamiento; estrategias distintas que tienen como punto de encuentro la restricción de los desplazamientos humanos. De modo que, se tiene que el comportamiento humano es una variable importante para comprender este fenómeno de manera integral. OBJETIVO. El objetivo central de este trabajo es reflexionar sobre los aportes de la Psicología Positiva a la salud mental frente a la pandemia por COVID-19 en el marco de la promoción de la salud y prevención de síntomas de malestar, conductas y factores de riesgo psicosocial. METODO. Para esto se hace una descripción conceptual de la psicología positiva, se relata cómo la población en general está viviendo este proceso desde la evidencia científica. CONCLUSIONES. A manera de cierre, se genera aportes básicos para la orientación en salud mental con estas líneas descritas, debe considerarse como pinceladas a la acción en promoción, prevención, counseling y terapéutica pero no como un manual de intervención
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
Consideraciones institucionales sobre la Salud Mental en estudiantes universitarios durante la pandemia de Covid-19
No full textINTRODUCTION. In terms of mental health, university students are considered a vulnerable population. In the face of the events experienced due to the pandemic by COVID-19 and the measures established by governments to deal with this situation, the mental health of university students is threatened. Within the framework of social responsibility, universities could be appropriate places to explicitly and implicitly address the health and well-being needs of students. OBJECTIVE. Provide some institutional considerations on mental health in university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHOD. This work corresponds to a documentary design. Studies on mental health in university students are reported and reflections are made on the possible contributions of universities from the Social Responsibility framework. CONCLUSION. The studies found report increases in symptoms of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, suicidal ideation and sleep problems. The actions that universities can take to benefit the mental health of their students during and post-pandemic could prevent the psychological effects of COVID-19 and benefit the development of society.INTRODUÇÃO.

Dentro da estrutura da responsabilidade social, as universidades podem ser locais apropriados para abordar explícita e implicitamente as necessidades de saúde e bem-estar dos estudantes. OBJETIVO. Fornecealgumas considerações institucionais sobre saúde mental em estudantes universitários durante a pandemia do COVID-19. MÉTODO. Este trabalho corresponde a um desenho documental. Estudos sobre saúde mental em estudantes universitários são relatados e são feitas reflexões sobre as possíveis contribuições das universidades a partir da estrutura de Responsabilidade Social. CONCLUSÃO. Os estudos encontrados relatam aumento nos sintomas de depressão, ansiedade, estresse pós-traumático, ideação suicida e problemas de sono. As ações que as universidades podem adotar para beneficiar a saúde mental de seus alunos durante e após a pandemia podem impedir os efeitos psicológicos do COVID-19 e beneficiar o desenvolvimento da sociedade.INTRODUCCIÓN.

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
