HospiAvontuur: development of a serious game to help young children and their parents during the preparation for an admission at the hospital for elective surgery
No full textObjective: Young children experience a significant amount of preoperative anxiety prior to surgical procedures and the induction of the general anaesthesia. Reducing preoperative anxiety is often performed by means of premedication. The use of medication has several side effects which could have a negative effect in children. The development and use of a non-pharmacological method for anxiety reduction prior to anaesthesia is subject of several recent studies. In this research paper the development of HospiAvontuur, a game for a smartphone or a mobile device, is described. The objective of the game is to inform young children (age group 4-7 years old) and their parents about an upcoming hospital admission for elective surgery.Materials and Methods: The game was developed and tested during different stages. In the first phase, stakeholders (i.e. children and their parents), were consulted about their views on preoperative preparation. In the second phase the essential game components were defined, followed by the game development. During the third phase the prototype version and the beta version of the game were tested with children of the age group.Results: Stakeholders showed a positive attitude towards a game for preoperative preparation for young children. Results from the testing of the game showed a positive result on the overall fun, characters appreciation and specific game elements appreciation. Children scored high on the knowledge questions.Conclusion: The final version of HospiAvontuur is a game to inform children and their parents for an upcoming admission at the hospital for elective surgery. The game was tested and optimised according to stakeholders feedback.Funding
This project (phases 1 and 2) was initially funded by the Flemish Government, department Economie Wetenschap en Innovatie (Vlaamse Overheid Departement Economie, Wetenschap & Innovatie. Oproep Sociale Innovatie 2013), Project number:
EB-U-13-0130/D2447. The proof of concept of the game (phase 3) was funded by IOF – counsel of AUHL (Association of Universities and University Colleges Limburg Region), project code: R-7319. Approval of the Ethics Committee of Jessa
Hospital was granted on 14/01/2014 – project code: 13.89/ ped13.09 in order to interview parents and children who were admitted at the Hospital.

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
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
