HIV and AIDS prevention behavior among housewives in South Purwokerto sub-district, Indonesia
No full textIntroduction
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a health problem associated with risky behavior. In Indonesia, AIDS cumulative cases from 1987 to September 2014 showed housewives as the highest number of AIDS cases among other type of occupations, with 6,539 cases (21.4%). South Purwokerto is a sub-district in Banyumas District, Central Java, Indonesia, with sexually transmitted infection (STI) cases as many as 45 people.
Material and methods
In this quantitative cross-sectional study, health belief model (HBM) was employed to determine individual acceptance in conducting HIV and AIDS prevention behavior. A total of a 100 housewives from South Purwokerto sub-district were included using proportional random sampling technique. Data were collected through interview using questionnaires, and analyzed with 2 test.
Results
The results showed that most respondents (51%) perceived themselves as vulnerable to HIV infection, 52% described HIV as an emergency disease, 65% reported that HIV prevention is not helpful, 71% stated that there are no barriers to HIV prevention, 62% had a positive belief on HIV prevention, and 65% of women had a cue to act in preventing HIV transmission. HIV and AIDS good prevention behavior was seen in 56% of respondents. There is a relationship between cue to act and prevention of HIV transmission, and no connection between perception of vulnerability, urgency, benefits, barriers, and beliefs with HIV and AIDS prevention behavior as dependent variable.
Conclusions
The results of this study show that there is a relationship between the cue to act in preventing HIV/AIDS and the prevention behavior, while there is no relationship between the acceptance of vulnerability, emergency, benefits, barriers, and beliefs with the HIV and AIDS prevention behavior as dependent variable
Îmbunătățirea cunoștințelor mamelor legate de utilizarea ghidului “sănătatea mamei și copilului”, în Kalibagor, Indonezia
No full textUtilization of the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) book and knowledge on its functions are not yet maximized by mothers in Kalibagor Village. The indicator showing the MCH book coverage are still below from target, the value being about 65% on October 2009. The MCH book functions are: a means of recording maternal and child, a communication and education tool for health worker and mothers. This research aims to improve maternal knowledge about utilization of MCH book. This research is a quasi-experiment study designed to be applied for a group, tested before and after a leaflet administration about how to use MCH book (pre- and post-test). The target group of population is represented by mothers in Kalibagor Village. The group selected for this study includes 60 mothers from two integrated health centers. They are Puspitasari and Watugede integrated health centers. Results obtained by applying the educational leaflets show an improving in terms of mothers’ knowledge (in Puspitasari) of 9,53 % and an increase of mothers’ knowledge (in Watugede) of 20,48%. There are significant differences on mothers' knowledge about utilization and function of MCH book. Keywords: health promotion, knowledge, use of MCH bookUtilizarea ghidului Sănătatea Mamei și Copilului (SMC) de către mamele din satul Kalibagor nu este, încă, satisfăcătoare. Indicatorul care arată acoperirea cu utilizarea ghidului SMC este încă sub ținta propusă, valoarea acestui indicator fiind, în luna octombrie 2009, de doar 65%. Ghidul SMC are mai multe funcții: de a fi un mijloc de înregistrare a mamei și copilului, de comunicare și educație primită de mame de la asistentul medical. Această cercetare are ca scop îmbunătățirea cunoștințelor materne privind utilizarea ghidului SMC. Studiul de față este o cercetare cvasi-experimentală, iar proiectarea studiului s-a realizat pentru un lot de respondenți, cu pre- și post testare, pentru care cercetătorii au vizat aprofundarea conținutului ghidului SMC, precum și a funcției de utilizare, înainte și după ce a fost distribuit pliantul cu modul de utilizare a ghidului SMC. Populația este reprezentată de mamele din satul Kalibagor. Lotul este format din 60 de mame alese din două centre integrate de sănătate (Pos Pelayanan Terpadu).

Există diferențe semnificative în ceea ce privește cunoștințele mamelor despre funcția de utilizare a ghidului SMC. Cuvinte cheie: cunoștințe, utilizarea ghidului SMC, mam
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
