Lumbal disk hernili hastalarda kapasitif rezistif diatermik akım ile lumbal stabilizasyon egzersizlerinin ağrı ve fonksiyonel durum üzerine etkisi = Effect of capacitive resistive diathermy current and lumbar stabilization exercises on pain and functional status in patients with lumbar disc herniation
No full textAraştırma ile lumbal disk hernili hastalara yönelik yüksek frekanslı diatermik akım tedavisi ve lumbal stabilizasyon egzersiz tedavisinin karşılaştırılması amaçlandı. Tüm katılımcıların demografik bilgileri sorgulandıktan sonra tedavi öncesinde ve tedavinin bitiminde aynı fizyoterapist tarafından fonksiyonel durumları Oswestry Bel Ağrısı Engellilik Anketi ile, ağrı seviyeleri Visual Analog Skalası (VAS) ile ve eklem hareket açıklıkları gonyometre ile değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmamızda kapasitif ve rezistif diatermik akım tedavisinin ağrı, fonksiyonel durum ve eklem hareket açıklığı üzerine olan etkilerini araştırmak amacıyla 6 aydan uzun süreli bel ağrısı mevcut olan ancak nörolojik defisiti olmayan 30 hasta değerlendirildi. Hastalar randomize olarak 15' er kişilik 2 gruba ayrıldı. Deney grubuna lumbal stabilizasyon egzersizleri ve yüksek frekanslı diatermik akım, kontrol grubuna lumbal stabilizasyon egzersizleri uygulandı. Tüm katılımcılar tedavi öncesi ve tedavinin bitiminde değerlendirildi. Vizüel Analog Skala ile değerlendirilen ağrı parametresinde gruplar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı (p>0,05). Oswestry Bel Ağrısı Engellilik Skalası'nın yürüme dışındaki alt parametrelerinin tümünde ve toplam skorlarının fark değerlerinde gruplar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı (p>0,05). Eklem hareket açıklığı ölçümlerinin sonuçlarına göre deney grubunda kontrol grubuna kıyasla tedavi sonrası sadece gövde fleksiyonu eklem hareket ölçümündeki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı şekilde daha yüksekti (p0,05). Sonuç olarak; LDH'li hastalarda kapasitif ve resistif diatermik akım tedaviye dahil edildiğinde rehabilitasyon sürecine katkı sağlayan, kolay uygulanabilir ve etkili bir tedavi yöntemidir.The aim of the study was to compare high frequency diathermic current therapy and lumbar stabilization exercise therapy for patients with lumbar disc herniation. After questioning the demographic information of all participants, their functional status was assessed with the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire, pain levels with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and range of motion with a goniometer by the same physiotherapist before and after the treatment. To investigate the effects of capacitive and resistive diathermic current therapy on pain, functional status and range of motion, 30 patients with low back pain for more than 6 months but without neurologic deficit were evaluated. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups of 15 patients each. The experimental group received lumbar stabilization exercises and high frequency diathermic current, while the control group received lumbar stabilization exercises. All participants were evaluated before and at the end of the treatment. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in the pain parameter evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale (p>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in all sub-parameters of the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Scale except walking and in the difference values of the total scores (p>0.05). According to the results of range of motion measurements, only the difference in the trunk flexion joint motion measurement was statistically significantly higher in the experimental group compared to the control group after treatment (p0.05). In conclusion; When capacitive and resistive diathermic current is included in the treatment of patients with LDH, it is an easily applicable and effective treatment method that contributes to the rehabilitation process
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.
