The Relationship between Leukocyte Counts and BMI Values in Patients with BTA-Positive Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Full text linkLeukocytes are a component of white blood cells which play a role in helping the body fight various infectious diseases. Leukocytes are part of the immune system. While an increased number of leukocytes indicates an inflammatory process, in the case of tuberculosis, the entry of M. Tuberculosis in the body causes the number of leukocytes to increase as a response to the body's immunity. This prompted researchers to be interested in examining the relationship between the number of leukocytes and the BMI value in pulmonary TB sufferers with BTA positive at the Kutorejo Community Health Center, Mojokerto Regency. The population and sample in this study were all patients with pulmonary TB with positive BTA at the Kutorejo Community Health Center, with the number of samples taken from the total population of 25 respondents, this sampling used a total sampling technique. The independent variable used was TB sufferers with positive BTA while the dependent variables were leukocyte count and BMI value. To prove the existence of a relationship between these two variables, a statistical test was carried out using the Spearman correlation test. The results of the research show that there is no relationship between the number of leukocytes and the BMI value in pulmonary TB sufferers with BTA positive at the Kutorejo Community Health Center, Mojok-erto Regency. This is confirmed by the results of the Spearman correlation test analysis which obtained a sig value. = 0.199 (α < 0.05)
Kesehatan Mental dan Stres Kerja di Tempat Kerja: Tinjauan Pustaka
Full text linkStres kerja adalah situasi di mana faktor-faktor terkait pekerjaan berinteraksi dengan seorang karyawan, mengubah kondisi psikologis dan fisiologisnya sedemikian rupa sehingga orang tersebut terpaksa menyimpang dari fungsi normalnya. Stres yang berhubungan dengan pekerjaan dapat merusak kesehatan fisik dan mental seseorang, sementara tingkat stres yang tinggi berhubungan dengan pembolosan staf yang tinggi dan tingkat produktivitas yang rendah. Peningkatan tekanan psikologis pada petugas layanan kesehatan dikaitkan dengan beban kerja yang berlebihan, kurangnya kontrol tugas, ambiguitas peran, tingkat kepegawaian yang tidak memadai, konflik antara pekerjaan dan peran keluarga, kepuasan kerja yang rendah, keterlibatan yang rendah dalam pengambilan keputusan, tekanan waktu, kurangnya dukungan sosial di tempat kerja dan kesulitan berhubungan dengan pasien. Penting untuk mengidentifikasi faktor risiko utama organisasi dan pekerja untuk meningkatkan keterikatan kerja dan untuk melindungi pekerja layanan kesehatan dari risiko berkembangnya stres kerja dan kelelahan
THE ROLE OF ZINC SULPHATE AND OMEGA 3 IN IMPROVING OF ALBUMIN LEVEL ON PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS PATIENTS IN PARU HOSPITAL SURABAYA 2015
Full text linkThe epidemiology of Tuberculosis (TB) showed that TB is a disease which is associated with malnutrition. Malnutrition and lacking of certain essential nutrients required by immune system might cause immune function deficiency resulting higher susceptibility to bacterial and viral infections. There is positive correlation between immune system and high nutrient contents, such as Vitamin C, zinc, and antioxidants that brings good effect on infections, including Tuberculosis. One of the efforts conducted to help promoting improving albumin level on pulmonary tuberculosis patients is through zinc and sulphate provision followed by Omega-3 supplementation. This study was conducted in 2015 aimed to analyze the role of Zinc Sulphate Omega-3 provision in improving albumin level on pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Paru Hospital, Surabaya.This study applied randomized study design using Pre-test and Post-test Control group design on patients suffering pulmonary tuberculosis. This study was conducted by administering Zinc Sulphate and Omega-3 on treatment group and placebo on the control group. The samples of this study consisted of 20 pulmonary tuberculosis patients divided into two groups: treatment group and control group. Each group consisted of 10 patients. Statistical analysis was conducted using paired T-test and independent t-test. The results is There were significant differences in albumin level (p = 0.001) in the treatment group before and after supplementation Zinc Sulphate And Omega 3. While in the control group between before and after supplementation Zinc Sulphate And Omega 3 showed no significant differences in body weight (p = 0.224). The conclusions is Zinc Sulphate and Omega 3 plays a role in increasing albumin level respondents. There are significant differences on albumin level before and after supplementation Zinc Sulphate And Omega 3
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
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
