Detecting Interviewer Fraud in the 2023 Belgian Health Survey: Methods and Implications
No full textin women. Mean level of self-reported BMI was 26.7kg/m2 (26.3-27.2kg/m2) in men and 25.3 kg/m2 (24.8-25.9kg/m2) in women. Conclusions: In 2023-2024, obesity prevalence resulted similar to HES data of 15 and 5 years ago, both in men and women, going in the direction of WHO target. However, 70% of men and 55% of women are in the overweight/obesity condition. Preventive actions at national and community level should be still massively implemented. Significant differences were found between measured and self-reported obesity supporting the WHO recommendation to monitor targets by periodic HESs. Key messages: • A quite stable obesity prevalence trend was observed in comparison to 15 and 5 years ago, but obesity and overweight resulted still prevalent in the Italian adult general population. • Significant differences resulted between measured and self-reported obesity prevalence supporting the WHO recommendation to monitor targets by periodic health examination surveys. Abstract citation ID: ckaf161.1796 Developing a Monitoring System of Overweight and Obesity in Finnish Children health challenges, requiring nationwide, measurement-based monitoring data. Data is needed to plan health policies, health promotion actions, and to evaluate outcome. Finland's register-based system for monitoring childhood overweight and obesity can serve as a model for other countries

The Van Houten Family of Bergen, New Jersey
No full textGenealogical record of the Van Houten (or Van Houte) family, residents of the Village of Bergen, now part of Jersey City. Begins with the marriage records of four brothers in the late 1600s, and traces the family to the early 1800s. Includes details of property and some events in the lives of family members.Reprinted from the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record for October, 1896, and January, 1897
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Square Dancing with the Stars to Enhance Dynamic Hirschman Linkages?
No full textIn this Presidential Address, the author takes the reader on a reconnaissance of his life and time as a regional scientist. He points out scenery he found scintillating along the way, hoping that some may pick up the banner and chew on a few of the ideas for a while. He suggests a revisit to Albert O. Hirschman’s notion of key sectors and more empirical analysis related to Marcus Berliant’s and Masahisa Fujita’s notion of knowledge creation and transfer.Presidential Address, San Antonio, Texas, March 29, 2014 (53rd Meetings of the Southern Regional Science Association
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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

This journal was published quarterly from 1903 to 1981 with the twofold purpose of providing "a record of Mission activities [and] also a strong and convincing appeal to every supporter and friend of Dr. Grenfell's work." The articles describe mission life, services and experiences. The Mission began under the auspices of the Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen but later a separate mission, the International Grenfell Association, was formed by Dr. Wilfred Grenfell

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
