Tratamento do uso de vapes na população adolescente
Full text linkIntroduction: The electronic cigarette/vape is an electronic nicotine delivery device, whose data on safe use are still limited. Users demonstrate concomitant use with conventional cigarettes and the increasingly frequent use by the adolescent population has generated concern. Objective: To conduct a systematic review to evaluate the best ways to treat nicotine dependence caused by the use of vapes in the adolescent population. Methodology: This is a systematic review of the literature carried out in the CAPES, MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO, UPTODATE databases, prioritizing those with less than 10 years of publication, written in English, using the keywords: addiction, vapes/electronic cigarettes, adolescent. Results: Currently, the treatment is based on an extrapolation of the strategies used for the treatment of nicotine dependence in general. At the moment, motivational interviewing is indicated associated with cognitive-behavioral techniques as the first line and, if withdrawal symptoms are very intense, the association with nicotine replacement through nicotine patches or gums is suggested. Bupropion is considered second-line in the adolescent population and still needs more studies to support its use. Conclusion: It is concluded that there is still little scientific material published to guide the treatment, thus more studies are needed for the elaboration of guidelines.Introducción: El cigarrillo electrónico/vape es un dispositivo electrónico de administración de nicotina, cuyos datos sobre el uso seguro aún son limitados. Los usuarios demuestran un uso concomitante con cigarrillos convencionales y el uso cada vez más frecuente por parte de la población adolescente ha generado preocupación. Objetivo: Realizar una revisión sistemática para evaluar las mejores formas de tratar la dependencia a la nicotina causada por el uso de vapeadores en la población adolescente. Metodología: Se trata de una revisión sistemática de la literatura realizada en las bases de datos CAPES, MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO, UPTODATE, priorizando aquellas con menos de 10 años de publicación, escritas en inglés, utilizando las palabras clave: adicción, vapeadores/cigarrillos electrónicos, adolescente. Resultados: Actualmente, el tratamiento se basa en una extrapolación de las estrategias utilizadas para el tratamiento de la dependencia a la nicotina en general. Por el momento, se indica la entrevista motivacional asociada a técnicas cognitivo-conductuales como primera línea y, si los síntomas de abstinencia son muy intensos, se sugiere la asociación con el reposición de nicotina a través de parches o encías de nicotina. El bupropión se considera de segunda línea en la población adolescente y aún se necesitan más estudios que respalden su uso. Conclusión: Se concluye que aún existe poco material científico publicado para orientar el tratamiento, por lo que se necesitan más estudios para la elaboración de guías.Introdução: O cigarro eletrônico/ vape é um dispositivo eletrônico de liberação de nicotina, cujos dados sobre uso seguro ainda são limitados.

Bupropiona é considerada segunda linha na população adolescente e ainda necessita de mais estudos para fundamentar seu uso. Conclusão: Conclui-se que ainda há pouco material científico publicado para orientar o tratamento, necessário dessa forma mais estudos para a elaboração de diretrizes
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

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.
