    The high prevalence of stunting is influenced by nutritional intake. Iodine is an important micronutrient for growth. Bengkulu City is located along coastal area, hence it has potentially high iodine food sources. However, stunting prevalence was still high. This was a cross-sectional study conducted from March to July 2016 which aimed to determine the relationship between iodine consumption and linear growth of children under five years old in Malabero coastal area of Bengkulu City. The population were children aged 2-5 years old with a sample of 73 children. Measurement of linear growth was based on AHZ index using microtoice with capacity of 200 cm and accuracy of 0.1 cm. Iodine intake was measured based on semiquantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). The results showed that 71.2% of children under five years old did not had sufficient iodine consumption with average percentage of iodine sufficiency 47.7% ± 0.456. There were 53.5% of children under five years old who experienced stunting. Low iodine consumption was shown to be associated with stunting. There were 73.1% children under five years old with insufficient iodine intake who were stunted while only 4.8% children under five years old with sufficient iodine intake who were stunted

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Background: The hospital has quite an important role inreducing IMR and MMR because hospitals as providers ofplenary personal health services including maternal and childhealth (MCH). However, until now the IMR and MMR Indonesiais still high compared to other ASEAN countries. The maincauses of maternal mortality are obstetric complications ordisease as a complication that arises during pregnancy, childbirthand postpartum. This factor was experienced by approximately20% of all pregnant women, while complication cases thatwere treated well are less than 10%.Objective: The research aims to identify the effect of hospitalcharacteristics, management of MCH services, humanresources for MCH, MCH services, and MCH equipment on theperformance of MCH services in government hospitals inIndonesia.Methods:Research is using secondary data of Health FacilitiesResearch 2011 (RIFASKES) with a cross sectional study.Population and sample is the entire Indonesian governmenthospitals (685 hospitals). The research variables wereidentified from the available variables in the questionnaireRIFASKES. Performance measurement of the compositevariable proportion of maternal deaths due to hemorhage d”1%, d” 10% pre-eclampsia, sepsis d” 0.2%, d” 20% secariasection, the proportion of stillborn d” 4%, and the proportion ofLBW handling 100% based SPM hospital. Multivariate logisticregression was used to obtain a model determinants ofperformance MCH services.Results: The majority (66.3%) government hospitals inIndonesian has less than optimal performance. As thedeterminant is unaccredited status (OR = 2.99: 1.43 to 6.28),the hospital is not a vehicle of education (OR = 1.78; 1.11 to2.85), team PONEK is incomplete (OR = 1.89; 1.27 to 2.82),there is no PONEK-trained doctor in the ER (OR = 1.89; 1.27 to2.82), there is no team ready to perform the operation or taskthough on call (OR = 2.16; 1.32 to 3.53). The most dominantfactor is the unaccredited status.Conclusions: Suboptimal performances of MCH at Indonesiangovernment hospitals are influenced by the low hospital servicecharacteristics and incomplete of human resources. TheMinistry of Health needs to support improvement in all types ofservices to complete an accredited hospitals (16 types ofservices), not just 5 or 12 services. They also need to makethe government hospital as a vehicle of education, increasethe quantity and quality of human resources are trained inPONEK-skill, ensure availability of PONEK-trained doctor inemergency, provide the team that are ready to perform theoperation or task though on call, and increase organizationalcommitment to overall performance improvement.Keywords: Performance, Maternal and Child Health Services,Government Hospita

    Introduction. The 2018 Basic Health Research Report recorded that 58.8% of women aged 10-19 years had been pregnant and 25.2% were pregnant. Aims: The study aimed to determine the relationship between adolescent marriage and the risk of stunting in Indonesia. Method. This research used Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) 2014 data with a cross-sectional approach. The study sample was 4,809 children who met the inclusion criteria, such as biological children, live births, children aged 1-5 years in the 2014 IFLS, children living with biological parents, complete data on the child's length or height, data on the characteristics of the child, mother, and family, the child does not have a disease. Independent variable is the age of the mother at marriage. The dependent variable is the incidence of stunting.  Bivariate analysis used the Chi-Square test and multivariate analysis used logistic regression. Result. The risk of stunting in children under five years in Indonesia in 2014 was 36.6%. The risk of stunting is higher in children under five years of married mothers in adolescence (42.4%) compared to mothers who are married at an old age (35%). Adolescent marriage is associated with the risk of stunting in children under five years, married adolescents have a 1.2 times risk of stunting compared to mothers who are married at an older age (p-value 0.046). Conclusion. Adolescent marriage increases the risk of stunting. Cross-sectoral integrated interventions are needed to implement the marriage age maturity program to prevent adolescent marriages to reduce the risk of stuntin

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    We 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 PDF
    We 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
